Just wondering what the chances are of having a Star Wars forum?

I know there's a lot of SW fans here, so thought it would be nice to have a common area on DVD Talk.

No Star Trek Forum? No Star Wars Forum!

Seriously though, it's probably going to need at least a sub-forum come September, when everyone starts talking (and griping!) about the DVD release.

I do remember that there was a LOTR forum. Yeah we'll definately need one in Sep. Maybe they could have a forum that combines SW and ST (hopefully that isn't too sinful).

Which would be tougher to moderate: A Star Wars forum or a politcs forum?

If there was a Star Wars forum, there would also have to be a Raped Childhood forum.

star wars politics!
just imagine the discussions we could have about the chancelors/emperor's political moves

????

you know the "george lucas raped my childhood by making gweedo shooting first" comments that come up every once in a while

Oh okay, I get it now. Its probably better to have all the star wars posts in one place, even those threads where people feel raped by Lucas.

No.

Lucas didn't rape any children, just their childhood.

Raping kids is sick ...

It was temp sub-forum. I agree that a temp SW sub-forum would be a good idea in Sept. as there will probably be a ton of threads when the DVDs come out.

However, I don't think it's a good idea to have a permanent SW forum (and I'm a pretty big SW fan). Too many flame wars, people would bitch wanting permanent forums for Star Trek, LOTR and whatever. People that want a permanent SW forum can just go to www.theforce.net or other SW sites.

So he says.

fixed.

I imagine time will tell if we'll need a dedicated SW forum for the DVD release, but I'd bet on it. It'll be too big/too many issues for a "one and only" thread.

If we do have a SW forum it'll be a temp one. Still mulling over the idea.

I'd say it all depends on the size of the community that needs such a forum.

When the next Star Wars movie comes out, I could see a temporary forum to discuss the movie and other things star wars (just like there have been other temporary uber-movie forums).

But I doubt there is a big enough "star wars" community here that has to discuss the subject forever here.

gweedo, the killer pimp?
