View Full Version : Why Star Wars Is Better Than Titanic
20 Reasons Why "Star Wars" Is Better Than "Titanic"
1. Titanic's big, but it doesn't have hyperdrive.
2. Star Wars has WAY cooler action figure potential.
3. Yoda could use the Force to lift Titanic out of the water.
4. Leia is a princess, a senator, a freedom fighter, and Jedi material; Rose is just marriage bait.
5. Ewoks throw better parties than either first class or steerage.
6. When flying towards the Titanic, Wedge can't say, "Look at the size of that thing!" and really mean it.
7. It would be much scarier to get chased around the boat by a raving madman with a lightsaber as opposed to a handgun.
8a. Titanic is egalitarian by portraying poor people as sympathetic
characters. Star Wars is egalitarian by promoting bug-eyed amphibians to Admiral.
8b. Said bug-eyed amphibious Admiral manages NOT to lose his ship.
9. We know Cal is the bad guy because he sneers at the poor and treats his fiancee like property. We know Darth Vader is the bad guy because he strangles people and blows up planets for fun.
10. Yeah, Leo can dance, but can he fly an X-wing?
11. People have not lost their lives trying to re-create scenes from Star Wars on the bow of a cruise liner.
12. Rose braves icy water to rescue her man. Leia braves Jabba the Hutt.
13. Han Solo would've dodged that iceberg.
14. There are always enough escape pods in Star Wars.
15. Do you know what the Empire does to self-proclaimed "Kings of the World"?
16. If Luke were handcuffed to a pipe below decks in a sinking ship, he would use the Force to get the key.
17. "I'd rather be his whore than your wife" just doesn't have the same sting as "I'd rather kiss a Wookie."
18. Han is frozen in carbonite and turned into a wall ornament. Leo simply freezes.
19. We knew the boat was gonna sink. But who could've anticipated "Luke...I am your father." ???

They're all good, but this one's the best:

Agree 100% with all, but this one is perfect. Great music, not annoying, overplayed crap!
4. Leia is a princess, a senator, a freedom fighter, and Jedi material; Rose is just marriage bait.
Plus, Leia is hotter, and doesn't need to pose naked. She just wears that slave-girl outfit. :shock:
10. Yeah, Leo can dance, but can he fly an X-wing?
Being a starfighter pilot beats dancing skill hands down. :cool:
12. Rose braves icy water to rescue her man. Leia braves Jabba the Hutt.
If Rose loved him so much, why didn't she move her butt over and let him on her floating debris?
17. "I'd rather be his whore than your wife" just doesn't have the same sting as "I'd rather kiss a Wookie."
She makes out with her brother, too, so that's not saying much. (Were they twins?)
19. We knew the boat was gonna sink. But who could've anticipated "Luke...I am your father." ???
"Come over to the Dark Side, son. And on your way, could you pick me up a jelly donut? I prefer raspberry, if they have it." :D
20. Two words: John Williams.
Can't agree with you more on this one. He is one of the greatest composers of all time. :bowdown:

Star Wars is about going to space and beyond...TITANIC is about going straight to the bottom.
The band is better in Star Wars. (first one ever, in the bar)

Surely you jest. If not-- :cry: :cry: --you poor deprived human being. It's the best space action adventure movie series of all time. You really need to see it. Here's some tips
Go to your local Blockbuster.
Ask for Assistance.
Ask for the Star Wars Trilogy Gold Edition.
Get it on DVD if you can, VHS if there's no other way.
Do not fret when the boxes say Episodes 4, 5, &6 in Roman Numerals. (I, II, and III are new releases, III will be in theaters in May)
Watch the series in order. (remember they were filmed in the 70s and 80s)
Enjoy learning about Star Wars

I was hoping there would be a major reaction; oh well. :) I have not seen the movies, but I'm not really interested in seeing them either.

Wow, I've never actually heard of anyone who hasn't seen at least one Star Wars movie. And I hang out with some pretty redneck folks, the kind you wouldn't think would watch they kind of stuff. You truly are deprived!

This had better be another "I want a good reaction" comment...
6. When flying towards the Titanic, Wedge can't say, "Look at the size of that thing!" and really mean it.
Wedge, my hero. The Jedis get all the credit and all the glory, but where would the rebellion be without plain old grunts like Wedge?
This guy has to be the luckiest bastard in the Universe. None of that "Force" BS, just flat out guts and luck. This is a man who has survived countless battles, the only known pilot who attacks *two* Death Stars and lives to tell the tale. Even Luke can't make that claim. While Skywalker is flouncing around the universe getting into glorified knifefights with sith lords and emperors, Wedge and countless others like him have selflessly and anonymously offered up the best years of their lives to keep the cause in business.
Here's to Wedge and the real people he represents!

OK, you must be trolling!!?? :p
If not, stop everything this moment!! Go rent/beg/borrow Star Wars today! It is a cultural/societal event and you must participate!
What I found interesting is that you can tell Lucas directed IV and VI because of the horrible acting in some scenes...the bloke who directed episode V did a better job making the actors appear more natural and lifelike...imho
But they lost, so their opinion doesn't count.

So who the f..k is Wedge?
So who the f..k is Wedge?
Rebel pilot, luke's friend he is the star of teh rogue squdron series (rogue I nintendo 64) (II, III gamecube)

You haven't seen them> They are great movies you aer not a man until you see those movies (And James Bond movies)
So who the f..k is Wedge?One of the three pilots that made it back from the attack on the first death star. In Empire, he was one of only a handful of speeder pilots to make it back from attacking the imperial walkers. In Jedi, he was one of only a few pilots to make it back from attacking the 2nd death star.
The guy's a survivor! (cue "Eye of the Tiger" music).

Correction: One of 3 X-Wing pilots. There were also 3-5 Y-wings and the Millenium Falcon.
And in ROTJ Wedge destroyed the power regulator on the North (death star's locating system) tower of the Main Hypermatter reactor. This caused the reactor to overstress, which proportionately increased the strength of the blast when Lando's Concussion Missiles collapsed the 2 sections of the reactor proper on itself. He was the only fighter pilot to completely fly the 2nd Death Star Assault(Lando Calrissian and Nien Nunmb piloted the Millenium Falcon,which is by definition a light freighter). Tycho Celchu (in the A wing) and the other pilots took an alternate route back out to draw away some of the marauding TIE Fighters and Interceptors.
He was the greatest Non-Jedi fighter pilot ever!

You're 5 years older than me you cheater. (How tall are you)
I am 5'7 and 90 pounds (pure muscle)
...
Star Wars fans scare me sometimes. :p
I can't get that into the movies. Every time I look at any of them I'm just reminded of what garbage George Lucas is.

I hate for my nerdity to surface like this, but I remember there were two X-Wings, one Y-Wing, and the MF after the first Death Star blows up (unless Lucas changed it in the remake).

You're right from the Movies. Although I remember the books saying differently. I'll have to check.
