• As a student of philosophy, I'm enraged at Rob's equivocation of 'world' as 'planet'. From wikipedia: "In a philosophical context it may refer to: (1) the whole of the physical Universe, or (2) an ontological world (see world disclosure)." Not that any of this indicates the tv-show will be good....

• For the love of Gozer, stop bitching about people bitching about George Lucas' furry Ewok ass.

• Hey, I know lots of people who would pay big money for a blowjob-dispensing Moaning Myrtle concrete slab.  And yes, that was the worst episode ever, but I let it slide because it was a Blue Peter tie-in, and the monster and main idea were a fan submission from a child. Every show is allowed something like that once or twice. 

• <b>SO DON'T WATCH IT!</b> Seriously, after <i>15 years</i> of this "George Lucas sucks I hate him he raped my childhood he ruined Star Wars" bitching, you'd think people would just go find something they DO enjoy and stop taking every opportunity to tell everyone else about how much they hate George Lucas.  I just don't get why people invest so much energy and time into hating a guy who created something cool. Even if you disagree with the way the story went, it's pretty psycho to go from "we love Star Wars" to "We hate George Lucas". Hate? Really? He didn't poison a well, or say anything bigoted, or commit any crimes against humanity. If you don't like his writing, then just move on. Find another story. Just please, for the love of Gozer, <i>stop the continual bitching about George Lucas</i>.  It was old a decade ago. 

• He does "adapt" EU stuff, if we include TCW. It's just that it's done badly, without exception. "Let's take the name and then change it!" 9_9

• It's supposed to be about the pimps and ho's of the GFFA. Now, what part of that is a good idea? Just call it Star Whores and be done with it. Ackbar: Hello, could you help me... Random hooker (in a really deep voice): Why, hello, there. You up for a good time. Ackbar: It's a trap!

• The choice of aliens in Peru makes one think Indians are magic, so in a way, he was cashing in on Twilight. In fact, I'm so magical that my casino (We all own casinos, don't you know?) recently had a poker tourney, and many of the guests were of the generation of poker players that had started playing cards with Magic cards, and I was more magical than them put together. I also spent my teenage years /puts on sunglasses tapping something other than islands. YEAHHHHHHHH!

• The guy (the one who claims Rob isn't a guy) might be a furry, in which case "human being" is an insult. He certainly has done enough here to suggest he has no social life.

• Oh, you mean, being born to the half of the population that doesn't possess the ALL-POWERFUL PENIS isn't a good insult? Really? And here I was ashamed to tell everyone my girlfriend was a woman. I kept using referring to her as a "person", "they", and so on. Most of them thought I was gay for doing it. I wondered why.

• No, no, that's just Rob's face melting. Again. Do tampons deal with this? As an aside, check out Megaman II's credits. There actually is a Tam Pon in the credits.

• FFF band name #1024 (and not even on FFF).

• I didn't even know there were Star Wars fans who were also George Lucas fans.

• Yeah, but are we talking criminal underworlds or are we talking about actual patterns of caves? Because the Star Wars universe has plenty of the latter, and George Lucas loves to add Expanded Universe ideas that were "part of his original vision".

• There's a long history of furrism among Jedi. No, wait, just Corellian Jedi. No, wait, just Corran Horn. But he's a Mary Sue so that the fans can have a circle jerk over whether Corran Horn or Kyp Durron's a bigger Mary Sue, so there.

• You're reading way too much into it. 

• Especially the fact that that is the title Obi Wan gave to the Rise of the Empire, and the series will be looking at all angles, not just criminals and rebels.

• This actually sounds like a damn good idea. The bounty hunters and criminal underbelly of the Star Wars universe were some of the best parts and ones I enjoyed and read the most of. Meanwhile, I don't trust Lucas to adapt even the best of the extended universe stuff, never mind put his own spin on the vague concept that's already been done well in various books and comics that he ignores anyway. Plus I kinda laugh at the article and Lucasfilm folk talking about Wall Street. I hope they handle the political satire better than the war on terror commentary in the prequels.  Hell, I agree with the message and commentary, but it was done terribly.

• Holy shit.  That's like one of the few Star Wars comics I own.  I got it because I love the artist who was South American and created stuff like Cyber Six.  Sadly he passed away some years ago.

• That's a pretty badass title! XD

• Thinking of EXACTLY the same thing, my Dark Lord, only with Fairy Wands. XD

• Or, really, just about ANYTHING with a "Dark" variant. "Age of Darkness", "Dark Times", "Dark Ages", "Dark Reign", "Darkness Begins", "The Dark Night", "The Dark Night Rises", "Batman", etc etc etc.

• Or Lucas giving us all a Goatsee.

• I thought Super Jedi Fun Hour was the Japanese title of Clone Wars?

• *Midichlorian leakage.

• LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!

• "God", as used in this context, is a proper name and thus is capitalized.

• This new tv show should be an adaptation of  a Star Wars Fan Fic.  Either the one with Luke boning Leia while Han shits his shorts, or the one with Anakin being anally rape. Quality primetime viewing in my opinion.  But, if it's going to be called Underworld, it might as well have Kate Beckinsale killing Ewoks and Gungans in the sewers of Tatooine.  It'll probably be one hour scenes of Star Wars Fanbois servicing Lucas' tiny Lightsaber dressed as Jar Jar or Jabba.

• I'd shell out money for to see that.

• Why Didn't they Use Star Wars:The Dark Times?! That would make more goddamn sense!!

• Yoda: The Legend of the Drunken Master?

• It's actually much funnier when read backwards.

• Are they Cuban tampons?

• 125 posts...commenting first... I've got nothing against Kate's ass...I wish I did...nyuk nyuk nyuk... ...ok, ok, ok,:::reading:::

• Oi.

• here's a blast from the past: http://www.toplessrobot.com/2011/11/oh_bayformers_the_ride_you_make_it_toom_easy.php#comment-371278944 

• you know what, if i were more suspicious person (and i am) i'd almost be inclined to say those two were the same exact person.  and if i were a truly evil bastard (and i am) i'd say, there's no TAMPON large enough, wide enough, absorbent enough to contain the anal justice that the women of TR are no doubt more than capable of.

• "Surely the show won't be set on one world".<br><br> Yes, of course. Since George Lucas has demonstrated time and again that he is a wise story teller.<br><br> $20 says that the series won't have so much as a spaceship in it. They're waiting for a point when the technology gets cheap enough for the series to be made in a cost effective manner? He means they're waiting for more people to be afford and sign up for the 3D TV channel it'll be broadcast on.<br><br> The whole thing's gonna have a 3 camera sitcom setup, a studio audience, overly bright lighting, and laughs galore. In 3D.

• I highly suggest that troll and you to grow a pair of ovaries and a vagina yourselves. Maybe then you wouldn't feel the need to compensate for your little dicks by spewing hateful and sexist shit over the intertubes ;)

• That would be the right time frame, who knows they might even get Cumberbatch to play Prince Xizor.

• I'll agree that Fear Her was runny diarrhea, but the worst episode of nu-Who ever???  Has everybody forgotten about Love and Monsters?  Any episode that with Moaning Myrtle from Harry Potter being eaten by an obese, unfunny alien played by Peter Kay and ends with the Doctor "saving" her by turning her into a talking, (implied)blowjob-dispensing face embedded in a slab of concrete is not only the worst Doctor Who episode ever, it's the worst 50 minutes of television ever and should have no right to exist!!!

• Wow well okay. Um I'll just leave you alone then. I'm sorry. There's not much more I can do than that.

• I retract my acception of your apology. You don't go in and say "Dude you hit the fucking nail on the fucking head!  I've been wanting to say that since the beginning." to a troll, back him up, and THEN call other users douches and expect everyone to be okay with you if you apologize. Don't try and take the high road and claim "peace" when YOU acted like a douche.

• Yeah, and now I'm not so sure if I should have accepted your apology, Mario G. Godoy. For all the swearing and demented FFF references I make, I consciously try to be nice on the intertubes. You, sir, are pushing me to my limits.

• Chillax little buddy. Here have another toke.

• i take exception to the whole reasonable minds business, heh, but if the others are willing to let this shit slide there's no reason to further sully the first day of TR's fifth year. 

• I personally don't, actually. Despite my posts, I'm cautiously optimistic for it since Clone Wars is pretty decent.

• This the last I'll say of this, Supporting an opinion is just like sharing an opinion. IF you don't like it then you'll just have to live with it. Anyway, why is it that you think the new show will suck? Just wondering is all.

• Well, I accept your apology, but still. You brought the wrath of Braxy upon yourself by supporting the opinion of a troll.

• a code of some kind. maybe he worships TAMPONS?

• my favorite brand, Dirty and Nasty (tm)

• He capitalized "tampons" AND "god". ... Why?

• I did. Did you see my post where I apologized? if you didn't then again I apologize. So let's chill k? We don't need to do this. We are all beings of reasonable minds. And if we work together as true geeks then we can achieve victory. So what do you say truce?

• let this be a lesson to all you trolls who think you'll just waltz into TR. when the superfriends stick together, not even Cthulhu will save you...

• *hands you a dowel* it's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

• Hey. You're the one supporting the rube who started this by flaming Bazzzinga when they called KILLroy out on it. Own up to it.

• Well, I'd daresay the IDEAS behind Crystal Skull (old Indy fighting Commies for artifacts and travelling through South America) were better than the ideas behind Temple of Doom (Younger Indy teams up with kind of funny Asian kid and god-awful shrieking harpy to fight a horribly inaccurate if badass depiction of the Thuggees, who were more a mafia than an actual cult, and portaying Kali and Shiva as enemies when both are good gods - and totally messing up the fact that HINDUS DO NOT EAT MEAT). Both sucked equally, though.

• Again let's just chill out and see what happens there is no need for flaming or trolling. Jusat ask yourself, What would Takei Say? I call for peace. I'll start by apologizing for everything I've said. What do you guys say?

• why Bazz of course it's a perfectly acceptable way to express an opinion when that opinion is just a series of burps, farts and streaks in underwear.

• no need for insults? did you read the post you support or were you too busy jacking off to the smell of used TAMPONS? here, I've got a better idea - drop the trouses and bend over. the DR is in the house....

• You know I'm going to go the road of Takei. Why don't we all just chill out? Just sit right back and see what happens there is no need for insults. So let's just chill out and have a smoke and calm down. Hmm?

• I'm sorry I wasn't aware that calling a guy (troll) on a rude and insulting comment was now douchy behaviour or is telling a sites moderator to go f#ck himself with a dildo and get a set of balls now a perfectly acceptable way of "expressing an opinion"?

• Just go away dude, seriously. You don't want <s>to be doing this</s> <b>me to self-fellate</b>

• here let's try this: Sigh. ::Rolls Eyes:: Has anyone ever been to a party and seen a <s>drunken ass make a fool of himself</s> <b>vagina</b>? Well <s>Dr Abraxas needs no introduction</s> <b>I never will</b>.

• "Has anyone ever been to a party and seen a drunken ass make a fool of himself? Well <strike>Dr Abraxas</strike> <b>I</b> need<strike>s</strike> no introduction" Fixed that for you.

• Just go away dude, seriously. You don't want to be doing this.

• Can't believe this has not been said. The whole tv series. Wait for it. wait for it IT'S A TRAP!!!!!!

• Sigh. ::Rolls Eyes:: Has anyone ever been to a party and seen a drunken ass make a fool of himself? Well Dr Abraxas needs no introduction.

• so basically posting a post that uses womanhood to degrade Rob is something that you've been meaning to say for a while? i think you're better off letting me edit your posts.

• human being LOL

• I'm not even going to waste my time on you, you are nothing and you will always be nothing. So go and waste your time on someone who gives a shit about your little flame post. because obviously you are doing this to get attention. The attention your parents never obviously gave you. You sad sorry human being. Now go away.

• <s> You should talk, he's just expressing an opinion and you're being a douche to him.</s> <b>He is a special, special snowflake and I am out of TAMPONS!!</b>

• He's gonna take Dog's Tennessee Waterfall in the settlement?

• Putting in The Beef certainly wasn't one.

• Lucas will be the death of us all.

• You should talk, he's just expressing an opinion and you're being a douche to him.

• Dude you hit the fucking nail on the fucking head!  I've been wanting to say that since the beginning.

• he's waiting for that point where technology advances so far computers can take his shitty scripts and turn them into awesome. sort of like the philosopher's stone was supposed to turn lead into gold.

• I think he's too successful with Castle to take the Lucas Gambit . . .

• oh boo. I mean, I liked Rebel Flesh/Almost People, but Fear Her was balls. And angel attorneys who aren't Harvey Birdman? We're DOOMED, Artoo! /flails girlishly

• I have to say, I would totally watch a Star Wars TV show where the entire cast is Wookies on a Wookie planet.

• " just waiting for a point where technology advanced enough to make making the show cost effective" This is why the show will suck. The best Star Wars movie was made over 30 years ago! Technology doesn't need to advanced to tell a good sci-fi story and relying on it will only result in catastrophe.

• TR: Unzipping JW's Fly and Jumping To Conclusions since 01/09/08

• umm could it possibly be the Criminal Underworld as in Hutts, smugglers, and bounty hunters, and not under the planets surface?

• Apparently, it's going to be about "The people who run America. Wall Street" in Star Wars-land. OCCUPY: DASHYKKK

• I'd have just taken Rogue Squadron: The Series.

• Underworld isn't a literal term. Capone's mob was a criminal "underworld". They sure as hell didn't do everything in sewers, they had bloody shoot-outs with the FBI in city streets. It's a nickname, not a location. It's fracking Star Wars, there WILL be space battles.... in place of plot development, interesting characters and captivating dialogue. But there WILL be space battles.

• Meh, just make up the spare room, put all your childhood memories out of reach and if he stays more than a week charge him rent. There are worse places than your head for him to be after all.

• Depending on Lucas' involvement, it could be another super Jedi fun hour anyway.  Do you really think he could sit on a Star Wars TV series and leave out the most profitable/recognizable character types?  We'd probably get a surviving Jedi for the first season, then two or three more by the second season, and by the third it would be about the Jedi fighting the Sith. (Mind, if Lucas has little to no involvement, I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see a smuggler with no talent for the force carrying a lightsaber.  Just to get one in the series, and to tweak the diehard fanboys a bit.)

• Damn furries.

• Setting the movie in the 50s with the Russians as main enemies.  Strip out all the atomic refrigerators, bad accents, and whatnot, and I think it's a great idea to have Indy fighting Russians.  I also think the Mayan/alien connection could have been interesting, given the more sci-fi 50s era.  And I like Indy having a son he didn't know about. Obviously, I think all of those ideas were handled really really terribly in the actual movie, but underneath it all there were the seeds of good ideas, I think.

• no! no i won't! mwahahaha!!!

• i wouldn't call it trolling per say; it's simply one of the most magnificently lollarious things anyone's ever said.

• Wow, that's stupidity, religion, hypocracy, unnecessary foul language and sexism in one lovely bundle of a post. Be proud, my son.

• Right after Celebration 3 when Lucas announced the live action TV series, he said the show would be about background characters like Rebel soldiers and Tie Fighter pilots. My immediate image for the show was for it to be like Band of Brothers but set in the Star Wars universe. Now I can accept nothing else from this series and will surely be disappointed.

• "Like a bitch does Marsellas look to you? hrrmm. Then why like one wanna treat him you do?"

•  Why would Bed and Breakfast break the internet?

• Star Wars: Underworld -- The Yavin Vassilika was all Han Solo before he signed on with the Rebel Alliance. It followed a heist narrative with Han, Lando, and Boba Fett and was actually the most fun I've had reading a SW comic.

• What about Crystal Skull was a good idea?

• How do you know it isn't? I wouldn't be completely surprised if that were a Japanese gameshow.
