I need help. I know I should know what ship this is as it was mine as a child. Anyone know what this thing is called and what show/game it was from?

Stamped:
Yes! Thanks! I was going through the box of toys with my son and that was the only one I couldn't remember.
I watched yesterday. His reaction to Vader is almost as awesome as watching that scene for the first time.
Xizor did the one thing every 1970s and 1980s young man dreamed of while watching Return of the Jedi - spend an entire story line trying to get Princess Leia naked.bluefire579 said:Shadows of the Empire, that was Xizor's ship: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Viragojeffk said:

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I remember that part of the novel, it was kinda weird. Also there was Xizor's droid assassin lady that seemed to fit in some nerd fantasies.
Whose? Lando's?bluefire579 said:

Yeah didn't he use pheromones? I remember being 14-15 reading this book and promptly researching pheromones ... 15-16 year old me: "Wait does that **** work?"

Yes! I keep some next to my Spanish fly.

I was going to say that Carrie Fisher isn't too shabby either.

Carrie such a badass she could have unwound Laverne's L on her top and choked her with it.
Also, those trays are genius. How come I never had those when I waited tables? Never even seen any like that in the wild.

No kidding. I would have paid for one of those trays out of my own pocket.
Seriously. Are those like lost Roman technology and no one knows how to make them anymore? Because not only would they be super-efficient they would have prevented many, many spills and accidents.maroon barchetta said:

Surely, someone is making these somewhere?
We missed out on an amazing fight scene.
ILM couldn't handle his face digitally. Probably thought they could make the leap forward from AOTC when they had to really limit Anakin v Dooku for the same reason, but couldn't stick the landing.
They should have had him use the Dark Side to kill Stasee Tin, Eeth Koth and Kit Fisto - impaled them on their own blades or slammed them into the ground, and had only Mace strong enough to resist that, forcing the lightsaber duel.

interesting they had a guy that looked like Obi Wan fighting him.
I always thought it odd that in lightsaber duels 80% of the strikes are at the other persons lightsaber instead of at the person.
Seems like (and I get it for choreography sake) they are attacking the weapon and not the person.

Thank you! This has always bothered me about the choregraphed shots. They are barely deflecting and not going for the kill shot.
Give me the ROTJ Rage Luke where he chops away repeatedly at Vader, then another shot to move his saber away and another chop to free Vader from his lover.

How about the five times he was swinging directly into Vader's lightsaber like a bat?

To be fair; he knows Vader is his dad and simply wants to disarm (pun intended) him and turn him back to the good side.

Not at that moment. He has lost it there for a bit because of the threat to his sister. When he sees Vader had already lost his hand at some point in the past, he looks at his own prosthetic hand and reclaims his reason.
Yes. He realizes he's turning into Vader if he continues down that path.Rex Racer said:SpreadsheetAg said:Brian Earl Spilner said:

Then: "I am a Jedi, like my father before me." Best scene in Star Wars. I love it.
Sharing these nostalgic videos that I found recently.
Now I'm imagining a Quentin Tarantino Star Wars movie with the Kill Bill choreographer in charge of all the lightsaber fights
Thanks and gig'em
Took the fam to Hot Springs for a fall break trip, the have a Star Wars toy museum called Galaxy Connection. Definitely worth checking out if you're ever there.
