phookz Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Re: Fantasy Star Wars. Fantasifying quotes "Luke: You know, I think that R2 golem we bought may have been stolen. Uncle Owen: What makes you think that? Luke: Well, I stumbled across a geas while I was cleaning him. He says that he belongs to someone named Obi-Wan Kenobi. I thought he might have meant old Ben. Do you know what he's talking about?" "Princess Leia: [in a magic mirror] General Kenobi: Years ago, you served my father in the Demon Wars; now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person; but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I've placed information vital to the survival of the rebellion into the spells that maintain this R2 golem. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this golem safely delivered to him in Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope. " "Dr. Evazan: I don't like you either. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve kingdoms. " Must spread rep around blah blah blah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curufea Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Re: Fantasy Star Wars. Magic carpets could work too. The problem with Brooms and Magic Carpets is that everyone associates them with Disney or Harry Potter. Strangely enough, people don't realise that this is exactly what you get in the Fantasy genre. It doesn't all have to be realist real-world archetypes. Or that fantasy elements don't have to be comical or surrealistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except of course that broom stick riding was out well before the starwars speeder rip-offs (by a few hundred years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alibear Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Re: Fantasy Star Wars. Harry Potter didnae pre-date Star Wars by 200 years. The original scene on the broomsticks was a cheesy rip off of the speeders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufea Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Re: Fantasy Star Wars. Ah, I thought you were talking about broom stick riding, which has been around as long as witches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
