I think it was faked

[Serenitude]

Hello all,

Long time listener, first time caller.

Well, I think this is the perfect place for my studied observations.

I was watching Star Wars Episode II this evening, as part of a marathon, and maybe it's just too long in front of the screen, but I got a creepy feeling as the movie went on. Let me explain.

I have been to Hoaglund's site, et cetera... and have read the nonsense there, well, nonsense, until tonight.

You see, in the opening shots of the movie, the starships are flying along, over the cloud tops, but the shadows are clearly off. If you look, you can see the shadow for Padme's ship, but her escort fighters clearly do not show any shadows themselves. Furthermore, detailed analisys reveals that the direction of shadow is inconsistent with the direction of the light source.

I am now highly disturbed. I hate to say it, but I think the entire sequence must have been faked. That's right, my friends, I think it's a hoax. :surprised

[TheOncomingStorm]

i agree with you all of star wars was faked.

[BigDon]

No!!!! What kind of woo woo nosense is this?

[PhantomWolf]

These are not the shadows you are looking for, move along.

Well, there's your problem. As Chico Marx would have advised you, you need to watch it on Shadowday!

How do you know the shadow was Padme's ship? Maybe the angles are deceiving, and the shadow was actually the camera ship.

Boy people will think anything is fake.

Great first post, Serenitude! Welcome to the BAUT.

(I must admit I started having doubts about the first trilogy. I mean, how could that stuff have happened before the stuff that happened before that stuff happened? Y'know?)

These aren't the shadows we're looking for. Move along!

[Count Zero]

I'm reminded of the Mad Magazine spoof of the original movie (paraphrasing):

Oldie von Moldie: These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Stormtrooper: These aren't the droids we're looking for.
Oldie von Moldie: We can go about our business.
Stormtrooper: You can go about your business.
Oldie von Moldie: Move along.
Stormtrooper: Move along.
Lube: Gee Oldie, how'd you do that?
Oldie von Moldie: The Force can have a stong influence on the weak-minded.

They lost the recordings of the earliest episodes.

The soundtrack was played using non-existing instruments.

Anyone see a parallel here?

LOL yes yes - and the Oldie chased of the Sand people by wearing a Helen Reddy mask, and singing "I Am Woman"

Thanks, folks - good to be here. I'm an avid amatuer, who is always hungry to learn. Not sure how much I can contribute outside of questions, but hopefully you don't mind contibuting to the knowledge of a non-woo-woo enthusiast.

I just thought I'd lead with a smile, as most of the stuff in here, is, well, silly

Upgrades are compulsory. You are not compatible. You will be deleted!

Am I having too much fun with this or what?

The money was supplied by the freemasons to make people think the force was fiction. They actually use to keep the earth still and everything rotating around the earth and alter the laws of physics so it looks like the earth rotates.

The earth does WHAT already??

[Nicolas]

If the earth would be rotating, I guess we would feel it, being on it and stuff.

If you drop a pingpong ball on a rotating football, it is redirected due to the rotation. Drop a football on the earth, and it isn't redirected. The only possible conclusion an honest, open-minded person can make from this is that the earth does not rotate. It's obvious, simple common sense that anyone can see. If I were the earth, I wouldn't be rotating. And there's this Sibrel video of astronauts in low earth orbit showing a stationary earth, which is conclusive evidence of geocentrism.

Which in turn, means all space probes and sattilites, the Hubble, and other telescopes are all fake.

Nothing is real, everyone lies, and we are all under control by the media.

Sounds like it could be a quote from the Matrix.

I may be a n00b, but I resent that, sir. I am NOT under the control of the media. I am under the control of George Lucas. I have been given a mission to go back in time, and replace the walkie-talkies used on the Apollo missions with, uh, err... what were we talking about?

Oh, right then. Herrings at dawn. I will have my Second dose you up with morphine. Brandy!! Did I say Morphine? Haha, ooops. I will see you there, sir.

Actually, it's my interpretation of what an HBer and 9/11 truther wrote on the LC forum, when he mentioned that the media all over the world is controlled by the same people that control the US media, and spread lies about stuff like depleted uranium, 9/11, genetically engineered foods, and the moon landings.

Here are some examples:

>A lot of the press in the world is controlled by the same forces that control the U.S. press. I read somewhere that in Holland the newspapers were calling the moon landings a hoax as they were supposedly happening. Most Americans would never know about something like that. Every time the US does something like that there are always going to be some people who aren't fooled. As long as it stays below controllable levels, it's not a serious problem for the government.

>Back before internet whole countries could be aware of things and it could still be kept from most Americans. In Russia the newpapers were problably giving good analyses of the Vietnam war. Most Americans still thought we were fighting for freedom and democracy.
Sure, a lot of people find out the truth but the press ignores them. When did you ever hear the actual words of an anti-war protester on TV during the war in Vietnam?

[mattweather]

It is fake because it only a movie! There another topic about ET life unlikely, so star wars are similar to that genre.

Good to see you've come to your senses. You may expect the checks to continue to arrive without interruption.
