In the first star wars film that is what they called the sand people.\n\nThose poor sand people..what they couldn't do with a little education and a home loan..

no wonder they are screaming for screen plays to adapt in Hollywood these days--all the talent is writing novels on Yahoo Answers---Dude--why on earth would anyone have such a thing in their head--have it in a scriptable format ---then dump it on the world in a Q & A forum---I'm telling you here--when you go to the movies in three years from now and see this fantasy of your's on the wide screen you are going to be extremely hacked that  you didn't save this one for yourself---get any more bright ideas--my suggestion--put them on paper and call George Lucas----he's an extremely approachable guy and he loves fantasies

I think Darth Vader is jealous of how Luke skywalker admires Jean Luc Piccard as his father. Right before, Romulan strikes back against the evil empire. :p

Star Wars is George Lucas's money making machine. Nothing else.

The same reason the gay men they put in movies are always the "best friends" of the girl and are sissy's.  Also, the women are butch and after the girl.  Its just a stereotype that hollywood has "that works."  In other words, why THINK when you have a "formula" to almost certain comedy.  There is truly nothing new under the sun.  Most comedy and movies are just rehash of old, that's why when something new, like Aliens (horror in space) or Star Wars (mythology in another galaxy and in the future) or The Lord of the Rings (the books that all Dungeons & Dragons were based on) come out, its big news.  The Matrix is another one to break "the mold."  \n\nDumb Blondes, weird looking black guys (the Wayans brothers play these to the max and do it well - which is odd because in life they are attractive) and women in trouble seem to always be around in the movies.  That's why shows such as Scary Movie 1-4 make such a big hit, they make fun of the Hollywood cash cow of formula movies.  The blonde girl who knowingly runs to her death, or the pretty but weird girl who finally fits in, or the black guy in the movie WHO ALWAYS DIES FIRST.  \n\nI just wish they would give their writers the freedom to trust themselves and us as audiences.  We do want to see new and good, funny movies.  Not just the same things, over and over.

Maybe it is because they really don't have anything substantial or intelligent to say.  Therefore, in order to be cool, they say "Duh.." just to get more points on here.  Who knows?

You're so right but a lot of what we see as adults goes over their heads.  And a good thing too, because most the cartoons of today have adult undertones. And I think it's important to watch the film with the kids and get an idea of what messages they are picking up.  If the crows are just funny characters to them, so be it.\n\nAs for the stereotypes themselves, it's not just back-in-the day.  Look at (or listen to) the Lion King.  It's set in Africa but only the minor villains (hyenas) were voiced by minorities. \n\nAnd I remember when Gargoyles (a Disney-cartoon series) came out there were a lot of complaints because the heroes were "ugly monsters" and parents thought that was confusing their kids.\n\nWe got a long way to go...

I saw Star Wars when I was a kid. But honestly haven't seen any of the new movies. As for the OC I can say I haven't seen an episode, but from the previews for it I must say it looks like a good show..

Not all Jedi are created equal; why does one samurai wipe out three samurai, or why does one soldier take out an entire machine gun nest on his own? Luck and initiative have something to do with it. Also mindset in training. I imagine the Sith fight dirty, and the Jedi (at least in the era of the Republic) are less likely to resort to such tactics. They are too institutionalized in their thinking by this time in history, and the Sith exploit it. \n\nP.S. Don't listen to the "nerdsayers." I know plenty of folks who can both worry about the fate of many universes and maintain a healthy and vigorous relationship with the opposite sex!

I would say Star Wars. "I am your father!" Star wars can be enjoyed by nerd or non-nerd alike. I think Star trek can only be enjoyed by nerd and very few non nerd (my opininion, if you are not nerdy and enjoy star rek, no offense I just think of it as nerdy.). Star wars is just so much cooler with lightsabers and this little green hairy dude who says stuff like "Be a good jedi you are!"

I believe it's because they think it looks "cool" or "hip". In reality, they look like fools. They also often claim it makes them "unique". However, it's not unique when everyone is doing it.

I think anyone that dresses up in costume to see a movie is a nerd.  Star Trek fans are a little more extreme.  I've actually been to a Star Trek convention when I was in grade school.  It was scary!

cartoon characters are wonderful means of mirroring ourselves in hyper ridiculousness. the modern version of the mediaval `fool' ,unless its disney and that's just sacarine dribble, so say that too! or the simpsons, a good idea but again always aiming for suburban blandness, can't have indivuals, unless they're deviants [shock horror], say that. Then there is `duckman', *&^%#$$%^%^brilliant, or my favorite ~Aeon Flux~ no words! And no one is strait, even better. Then there is `Stand Alone Complex' {japanese futurism], the subtext brilliant - the narrow minded  myopia of religion and how it *&&^%%people's minds. Clever in NOT pointing to any particular denomination. At least your curculum is focused on what's happening [man][sic]. Have fun.

Yes, I admit it. I actually PAID for a copy of it. It's Star Wars, so I won't disown it completely, but it was AWFUL! \n\nTry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVV2ASmWpO0&search=star%20wars%20holiday%20special for the cartoon piece.\n\nOh, and it's technically the 'holiday special' I believe, since those long ago in a galaxy far, far away aren't likely to know too much of Earth holidays...

Because they're weird.
