Well I think I am going to have to bow out because the answer I thought it was, obviously isn't right.
I thought the entire committee went to Palpy's office in AOTC;
Amidala
Organa
Binks
Ryder (Horox)
Orn Free Taa

Sorry people :(

good question. I know 5 of them I belive there were 10 correct?

 Bail  Organa
 Padme Amadalia
 Orn Free Ta
 Aks Moe
 Ister Paddie

 and i think
 Lexi Dio
 Ronet Coor
 Jar Jar Binks (?)
 Palpatine
 and a Rodian need to find his name

I was under the impression there was 5 :-\
You have 4;
Senator Amidala
Senator Orn Free Taa
Senator Organa
Senator Binks

Palpatine is not included as it is him they are being loyal to and the Rodians name I believe is Dar Wac. He is an aide to Palpatine.

Just to shed some light, I was referring to the part of the film where the Jedi are in Palpys office and the Hologram of Dar Wac (the rodian aide) informs him that the loyalist committee is here. He sends in what I thought was the whole committee.

If I am wrong on this (sorry) can someone let me know where they referenced it.

And here's a swimming Obi-Wan with respirator (no cloak though) from the Gungan Scout Sub for Guttersnipe:





He's lame. I kind of wanted one to match the Qui Gon that came with the Opee, cloaked with "real swimming" articulated ankles. Just like in TPM.

Toy Fair Vader hands down. I would love one of these more than any vintage figure.

No one seems bothered about Padders accessory :o
Since when did SW figs come with bunches of flowers.
Yes the balcony is nice. Yes the face is a bit off but come on she comes with flowers.

Flower accessories are the path to the darkside. Flowers lead to garden tools. Garden tools lead to vegetable patches. Vegetable patches lead to leaving the Jedi order and settling down with a nice little allotment and concentrating on prize winning marrows instead of hunting down and killing the entire Jedi order.

I fear the worst :(

What would you do with all the duplicate stuff?
You would be tradin' for ever.
It would be a good purchase if you had just started. Almost all the POTF2 line in one foul swoop.
Browsing the list, I personally would only be interested in about 10 items.

OK, here goes;
Name all of the senators in the Loyalist committee.

BTW do you really hate Vader?

The Prequel Trilogy / Re:Just a thought
« on: February 17, 2003, 06:15 AM »
I would be inclined to quote Tarkin to answer this question;
"The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe.
You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion."

I liked them in the theatres when they came out but on reflection and many viewings later the cons become more and more apparent.
The thing that bothers me is GL said it was bringing the films "closer" to his vision but that is crap really.
If there were little "tweaks" rather than changing major actions of the characters i.e. Greedo shooting first, that is changing the whole scene rather than enhancing.
Why did he not do it in the first place?
I like the little things;
Banthas on Tatooine as Jabbas barge sails past,
More Stormies on the Death Star
Bespin windows etc.
NOT the major changes.
Lets face CGI just doesn't fit into the old films like new ones, it is not convincing.

I also think though it sends a strong signal that all is not right in SWdom and that resorting to these rereleases is a cheapening of the line to make more money instead of investing time in making even slightly retooled figures

It would be better if they re-released the harder ones to get instead, but that would satisfy openers and infuriate MOMC.
I believe it is a fine line they have to tread and any route will lead to flak from one of the "groups"
I have all of the re-releases already (bar Maul) so I wont buy them and dont really consider them "holes", but would welcome any of the following;
Holo Sid
TC14
R2 B1
Amidala Battle
Zuckuss
Piett

To re-release those would save me ££££££££'s
But someone who has them all ready will be annoyed because they will see it as de-valueing.
Maybe thats why the assortment is what it is, if it was Commtech Leia/Stormtrooper Han i.e. the harder to find ones they would annoy more than please :-\.

Heres mine;
10) Swimming Obi Wan with respirator
We have qui Gon and Jar Jar so we need this one.
9) Rep Teers
8) Handmaiden
7) Nemoidian Pilot
6) Ratts Tyrrell.
If he came with his familly (from extended pod race scene) as pack ins it would be cool.
5) Twi Lek Masseuse
4) Yaddle
3) Holo Maul
A proper one the same colour as Sidious
2)Yareal Poof
1) Horox Ryder
