Maturity has nothing to do with how old a person is. I know some 12-year-olds who are much more mature than some 30-year-olds. And that having a server with an age limit on it still won't solve the ub3r l33t j3d1 problem.

Besides...the first criteria that he lists (having seen the original release of SW in a movie theater) excludes anyone less than 28 years old...

Get real...

Lighten up, he may be a smuggler but the "old enough to remember the original trilogy in theaters" was a figure of speach.

goddamn, ya'll make me feel old.

Saw it in the theater (I was 8) 5 times. The fifth time my mother (who would always just drop us off at the theater) finally said- "I gotta see what I'm wasting all this money on every week!"

In the theater, like any 8 year old, I was explaining what was happening as she was watching and she told me to shut up- 'cause she got all into it.

So, could my mom play on your server?

On a side note. I work in television and a big joke fromstudio to studio (back in the day) would be to pull the lever on the switcher and make the "droooooooooooooooooo" sound- becausewe would be workingthe exactswitcher that was used to fire the death star (it's an old Grass Valley).

anyway. This week at Maury we got a new switcher and I of course did the "droooooooo" thing and we all laughed but then two guys told me they actually KNEW the guy who pulled the lever in the movie. They had to have a crew hand do it 'cause it was real equipment (Union). They were saying that every other month or so he gets a small royalty check for that 5 seconds of history.

But I digress...

Can my mom play now?

I saw Star Wars: A New Hopein the theater, also saw it in a drive-in, I have even seen the cast on the Muppet Show.

But i have also seen my share of 30 yr old l337 d00ds.

Frankly we old timers invented leet speak, but that's cause the net was somewhat boring before color, or pictures for that matter.

While we're on the subject of random people in the movies, I know the guy who played the hang-gliding Ewok in RotJ. And no, he's not really that short.

LOL I owned it on Beta. I own it on VHS (crappy version). I ripped a copy of the good version from Laser disc to DVD. My only complaint is that the DVD and VHS copies I have start out "A long time ago, in a galaxy far away..." and then it switches to the scrolling text, instead of the REAL original where where that was actually part of the scrolling text. I haven't seen that since I had it on Beta. Oh man I still have an original Xwing and Tie fighter and that kickass Darth Vader "action figure" case. My wife thinks I'm weird, because I will wax poetic on the relative qualities of the action figures I had as a kid and that I actually get angry when talking about the switch from die-cast frames to all plastic in certain action figures. Not that I am the comic book guy or anything, it just made me mad as a kid. I'm going to stop now and go take some medication

/and yes your mom can play too
//think she will want to sn er smuggle?

Well, I'm not quite that old... but can I get special admission if I display my copy of the trilogy on Laser Disc?

I'm only 15, but when I was 4 I succeeded in getting myself the Trilogy on Laser Disc AND succeeded in figuring out the Laser Disc player. I could pass as older with a fake ID too

Haha, I love it..

If your favorite "artists" are Britney Spears or 50 Cent, and you understand elite-speak...you are out...

Well I'm only 24 and was knee high to a grasshopper when I saw Jedi in the theater for my birthday. But I was raised by Star Wars fans, even had the Holy Trinity on disc before VHS (And no not laser disk, I mean those old RCA movie on a record with the plastic sleave and you had to slide the whole effin' thing into the player to load the disc things.) So I dunno if I could be let in or not.
