Would someone please direct me to the Star Wars trailer that aired between "Malcolm in the Middle" and "X-Files" on Sunday night? My roommate turned my TiVo off. (I apologize in advance for not following the standard MeFi post syntax).

Dude, this thread's gonna get deleted. You know that, right?

I thought that was supposed to be airing next Sunday.
I expect this thread will be deleted, anyhow.

I feel bad for you because you're about to get slammed. But the trailer is on next Sunday, so you don't have to kill your roomate, after all.

[now you might want to duck]

It's not the syntax that's the problem, this is just not what MeFi is for. Perhaps you could search /. or something.

Yes, personal requests are not really MeFi material. There must be a Star Wars board somewhere that probably has the info you seek.

Who here likes pancakes?

I love pancakes.

a) I apologized in advance. 2) I hate you guys.

a.) still doesn't make it right.
b.) who cares.

c) You are right, Avogadro, I have never seen any posts on MeFi about Star Wars or links to Star Wars trailers.

I had pancakes today. With blueberries, at my work's cafeteria. They were surprisingly fluffy and delicious.

so much for the "new friendly-ness".

Still, this:
a) I apologized in advance. 2) I hate you guys. will keep me laughing all afternoon.

Uftheory: not so good idea to defend your actions. You know what you did was wrong, and people gave you the answer you wanted anyway. Be happy.

Can the sarcasm, uftheory; I was being serious. If you are looking for something like that, /. is the most likely source.

Sorry you can't see the trailer, uftheory. Let me give you a summary:

Shot of whiny blond guy
Computer cartoon of fifty bazillion guys running with glowing phallus-like swords
JarJar
Jango Fett flying
JarJar again
The Backstreet Boys fighting N*Sync
Carrie Fisher making out with a slug
Ewan Macgregor cashing a HUGE paycheck
Natalie Portman changes clothes seventeen times
The music rises
Fade out on Yoda saying, "See it, you will."

Oh, and we also see in the trailer that Gungans prefer Pepsi™ over Coke™ 2 to 1.

Naturally. Is that freakish young woman present in some capacity as well? A theme song, perhaps?

ColdChef, I take back everything nice I've said about you today. Though, now I just think you're really funny.

In order to see that Star Wars trailer, you'll need to get this first.

ColdChef, you forgot that quick shot of Samuel L. Jackson slicing up a "Royale with Cheese" with his lightsaber. Cool.

Oh, and I'm looking forward to the soundtrack, too. Aerosmith does a great power ballad called..."Ewok this Way."

I would just like to add that this thread has somehow morphed into something rather absurd, and somewhat beautiful at the same time.

Leia: "Do you like sex, Mr. Solo?"

Han: "Excuse me?"

Leia: "Sex. The physical act of love. Coitus. Do you like it?"

Han: "I was talking about my reward."

Leia: "You're not interested in sex?"

Han: "You mean coitus?"

[ps almostcool: I agree. I kind of hope it stays.]

Mace Windu: What planet you from!

C3p0: What?

Mace Windu: "What" ain't no planet I know! Do they speak English in "What?"

C3p0: What?

Mace Windu: English-motherfucker-can-you-speak-it?

C3p0: Yes. Of course I can, sir. It's like a second language for me...I'm as fluent in Bocce...

Mace Windu: Then you understand what I'm sayin'?

C3p0: Yes. My first job was programming binary load
lifter...very similar to your vaporators. You could say...

Mace Windu: Now describe what Darth Vader looks like!

C3p0: What?

Mace Windu: Say "What" again! C'mon, say "What" again! I dare ya, I double dare ya motherfucker, say "What" one more goddamn time! Now describe to me what Darth Vader looks like!

C3p0: Well he's ...he's...black --

Mace Windu: -- go on!

C3p0: ...and he's...he's...tall --

Mace Windu: -- does he look like a bitch?!

C3p0: What?

Mace Windu: Does-he-look-like-a-bitch?!

C3p0: No.

Mace Windu: Then why did you try to fuck 'im like a bitch?!

ColdChef! That comment should be dipped in bronze and hung on the wall at the MetaFilter Hall of Fame.

Actually, it should be dipped in carbonite.

Oh, ColdChef! Let's try again, using your own latest style:

Hey uftheory! Great post! I was curious about that trailer too. Loved the way you left out the link - how could you know if you're asking, right? Anyway, here's the link an old-style, boring MeFi would have included - in case you're still interested, that is.

It's been posted before, here, here and here, but what did those fuckwits know? Oh - and uftheory? - don't hate me for pointing out that this may conceivably be deleted by that tyrant we know as M***... :)

One of the funniest threads I've ever read!

Darth Vader: They're filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.

Gen. Tarkin: Sausages taste good. Pork chops taste good.

Darth Vader: A tauntaun may taste like pumpkin pie. I'll never know 'cause even if it did, I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I don't wanna eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense to disregard its own faeces.

Gen. Tarkin: How about Ewoks? Ewoks eat their own faeces.

Darth Vader: I don't eat Ewoks either.

Gen. Tarkin: Yes, but do you consider an Ewok to be a filthy animal?

Darth Vader: I wouldn't go so far as to call an Ewok filthy, but they're definitely dirty. But an Ewok's got personality. And personality goes a long way.

Gen. Tarkin: So by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he's cease to be a filthy animal?

Darth Vader: We'd have to be talkin' 'bout one motherfuckin' charmin' pig. It'd have to be the James Earl Jones of pigs.
