- vsujohn2, on 02/12/2008, -7/+61Princess Reah, Han Soro, and Ruke Skyrawker!
- Shamonue, on 02/12/2008, -2/+39I thought that was a Samurai, not a Ninja.
- AlThor880, on 02/12/2008, -0/+35... it would have been called "The Hidden Fortress"
... oh wait... - CaptainLando, on 02/12/2008, -7/+39@willynilly,
Actually, because it is a title of a movie, the correct usage is indeed, was.
Now if Star Wars the movie never existed, we lived and fought in space, and the phrase 'star war' described a war that was fought among the stars, you could say, "The star wars were devastating, but we needed the oil." - 1807, on 02/12/2008, -0/+18jedi...how many times does the emperor have to say the jedi will fall..he aint just talkin about one of them there bucko.
- asskicker32, on 02/12/2008, -0/+15Actually, if "Star Wars" was set in Japan, it would be an amalgam of Kurosawa films set in future-cum-past times... Oh wait...
- opticwind, on 02/12/2008, -0/+14If star wars was in Japan:
1) All light sabers would be phone attachment
2) All stormtroopers would dance in the middle of the street while being photographed
3) Kurosawa would sue for copyright infringement - e36wheelman, on 02/12/2008, -2/+12You completely missed that joke.
- asskicker32, on 02/12/2008, -0/+10...And it would star Toshiro Mifune
- inactive, on 02/12/2008, -1/+10Are their voices in sync with the sound track. :-)
- bencefeher, on 02/12/2008, -1/+9No, because there is no "L" in the Japanese alphabet. It is replaced with a very light "R" sound.
- nateIT, on 02/12/2008, -0/+7is the plural of jedi, jedi or jedis?
- CaptainLando, on 02/12/2008, -1/+8On second thought, "took place" would fit better in the place of "was." But my future analogy still applies!
- benitojuarez, on 02/12/2008, -1/+8what about wedge antirries
- ChibiJosh, on 02/12/2008, -3/+9"The contrary-to-fact present conditional is used to refer to a current state or event that is known to be false or improbable. The past subjunctive must be used." Using "were" in this case is correct.
- blankoboy, on 02/12/2008, -2/+8Ninja != Samurai
sigh..... - Trax91, on 02/12/2008, -0/+6For the confused and curious, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hidden_Fortress
- sims5487, on 02/12/2008, -1/+7As a film historian, this submission makes me cry.
- matu4251, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5My vote goes for samurai too...
- NSNick, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5What, you think they're going to be in plain sight, waiting to be photographed?
- Zuggy, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5Cool pic, but this seems to pop up every few months on digg, the Darth Vader Samurai Armor
- jsaya, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5Replace ". :-)" with "?"
- inactive, on 02/12/2008, -0/+4He also got the whole concept wrong. This isn't some re-imagining of the past, Lucas took old Samurai helmets, mixed them with Nazi helmets, mixed in a little flash gordon and got the look for darth vader.
- Ndiggnation, on 02/12/2008, -0/+4Do people not have accents when speaking a language other than their own? I'm sure we sound ridiculous speaking Japanese with an American accent.
- CalicoDreams, on 02/12/2008, -2/+6It's a trap!
- zigunerweisen, on 02/12/2008, -0/+4From what I can tell, the plague reads: "galactic empire dark lord armor". So yes, it did belong to Darth Vader long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
- Seaseme, on 02/12/2008, -0/+4"jedi" is the plural form of "jedi".
- clucas101, on 02/12/2008, -0/+4This came out in Japan about 2 years ago, they made about 200,000 of them and sold out instantly. Old.
- rogersj3, on 02/12/2008, -1/+5That's because it is. It appears to be emulating a style of armor worn during the 15th and 16th centuries called Asagawa Odoshi.
- palehorse864, on 02/12/2008, -0/+4Darn, beat me to it.
- jaej, on 02/12/2008, -2/+6down after 8 comments....yes
- GatorLCA, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3Michael Jackson really needs to stop with the plastic surgery
- inactive, on 02/12/2008, -3/+6But but Jedi ARE basically Space Samurai...Close enough..
- e36wheelman, on 02/12/2008, -0/+34) ... Profit?
- absentmindedjwc, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3"'A long time ago' in a galaxy far, far away"
Him saying "was" works - vibrokatana, on 02/12/2008, -2/+5The philosophies are a bit different. The jedi value devotion to life itself were as a samurai would be devoted to the country, people or ruler.
- asskicker32, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3Not only is your comment mildly racist, its grossly incorrect. Chop Seuy is supposed to be a chinese dish, but it was created in San Francisco; by an American. Niether culture is based in Japan.
- positron, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3Actually, ninja WERE samurai. Specifically, samurai who had been ordered by their lord to do a covert ops mission.
- KingGorilla, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2where the ***** are the ninjas they promised
- inactive, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2fail... lucas owes so much to kurosawa
- alkajazz, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2You mean samurai?
- KingGorilla, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2I guess that makes it okay
- lenninct, on 02/13/2008, -0/+2according to g. lucas...yes?
- samanathon, on 01/12/2009, -0/+2Google Translate (don't know how accurate it is...):
http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=&hl ... - KingGorilla, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2"chop suey is chinese culture."
- Syric, on 02/13/2008, -0/+2There's a thing called subjunctive. Subjunctive uses "were" for all persons and pluralities. If what dinostabOMG says is true, then the "were" is optional, but it's definitely not wrong.
