For anybody who has TNT International, Star Wars (from Episode I to Episode VI) will be showing from Monday 28th to the Saturday. All start at 3 PM EST.

Dakota, Episode IV is the first movie they made (In 1977 I think?) and Episode I was made in 1999.

Omg - why couldn't they just call IV - I?

Because that would be too easy . I'm not sure about this but from what I heard, he wrote all the films at the same time but Episode VI was the cheapest to make.

Because 5/4ths of americans don't know what roman numerals are and the other 1/2 ain't good at fractions

I wish I would put more detailed player notes for players on Full Tilt besides "This guy is F^$%ING IDIOT!" but they are always humorous to see when I run into them.

It's chronological, I - VI, but all the cool stuff starts in IV... he could've skipped I - III imo.

 

[Jagsti]

I was the best of the last 3 imo if that makes sense. My order of preference would be, IV, V, VI, I, II, III.

 

[Debi]

But if I started with IV wouldn't I be missing some key things? I hate to watch shows out of order.

so in other words they got progressively worse every time they made another film?

No, because it watches better if you start with IV first. That's the way the rest of the world started. You'll see.

Now at last - a woman I can trust with this lol.

Think of it as two seperate trilogies all based on the one key topic (IV V VI) + (I II III)

I II III were made after IV V VI so you really arent going to miss anything.

Basically, I II II are based on the time before Luke Skywalker (Main character in IV V VI). They are primarily based on Anakin Skywalker (Luke's father) and his journey into the dark side and how he became DARTH VADER!!!

Hope this clears it up

Well I'm sure others will disagree with my order.

It's also difficult, coz we're comparing 2 generations of film making. I mean I liked IV the most, coz I went to watch it when it 1st came out in 1977 and was like 'Holy shit' this is like the most amazing thing ever. I'm still amazed by it b/c it still seems advanced. I suppose 'I' was good as well b/c it was using all the new computer generated graphics, with new characters and stuff and was still like wow. Just wasn't that impressed with II + III though.

Just watch them in the order that they were made.



(that means, start with IV )

I've never seen Star Wars myself, but I've seen Spaceballs plenty of times, so I get the premise. I still lmao every time I see it.

Enough of this. Now back to not playing poker!!!

I entered a live freeroll at the local club the other day and won it! $125 in the back pocket and an entry into last nights $1000 final. There was about 65 people at the final and I managed to scrape in a 6th place for $50. The final table also gets a spot in the regional final which has a prize pool of $10000 and they expecting about 200 people for that one.

So my first experiences of playing live have been pretty good so far but I sure need to practice my shuffling and dealing skills....
