[Jedi Master Kyle]

[Jedi Master Kyle]

714 left. 2 weeks till we break the 700 barrier...

[87FOXGT]

yep only 2 more weeks til we break the 700 mark. i was gettin tired of the seven hundreds hehe. the 600's sound much better than the 700s lol. just got done watching the OT for only the third time in my life and ill tell you guys everytime i see the trilogy over again it makes me more eager to see ep 2 and 3 for the anakin to vader transition. hang in there everyone the clock for the next episode is ALWAYS ticking.

[CMJ]

713 days. I actually just finished watching Episode I(again). Gets me pumped everytime for Episode II. It'll be here before we know it(yeah right).

[Jedi Master Kyle]

i've still got the next 2 years broken into segments to make it pass quicker.
1-rerelease of OT on VHS this fall (i want the widescreen)
2-release of TPM DVD
3-release of OT DVD
4-release of Ep 2

(if these are all true, then there are my segments)

[CMJ]

[Jedi Master Carr]

Lately I have been ignoring the rumors, I am hoping my temptation does not break down, I would like to be more surprised about the plot this time, in 641 days.

[Jedi Master Carr]

I feel the same way the last 60 some days seemed to have flown bye.

[Grendel 666]

Hmm. Couple of long weeks for me. I'm hoping things start "flying by" in my life sooooooooooon. :)

edit: my computer clock and the board's clock do not agree. See what I mean? I thought it was after midnight already but noooooooooo!

[Jedi Master Kyle]

[87FOXGT]

[Jedi Master Carr]

30 days to another milestone.

[CMJ]

Only 629 days from now...... And as you said Jedi Master Carr only 29 days till a milestone.

[Jedi Master Kyle]

Doesn't breaking the 700 barrier seem like yesterday? This is going faster than I originally thought. I think I'll write a novel about this thread when it's done. :)

anyway, 628 days left! exactly 4 weeks to a huge milestone!

[Jedi Master Carr]

627 days left

[Jedi Master Carr]

I guess nobody else wanted to do it, so I get to do it two days in a row, well only 626 days left.

[Kyp Durron]

Heh. Yep, still alive. I bumped into zoar at the countingdown.com forum, and we were just reminiscing about good ole days at swfans.net. Jez thought I'd visit. Well, while I'm here, it doesn't seem like anyone has posted today's # of days left, so here it goes...

[Jedieb]

602!
I can't believe we're getting excited about reaching the 500s! Well, at least we're under 2 years away. This place should be hopping mad when we reach double digits!

[Jedieb]

551 Days Left
LOL JMC. When EP2 opens Al Gore will say he
invented Star Wars and George W. Bush will probably mispronounce
Star Wars.

[Jedi Master Kyle]

Halfway through the 500's boys! Rejoice!
OT, can you believe how dead this place is??

[Jedieb]

It's probably going to be slow for awhile. Things won't start hopping until next summer or fall. :(

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah with the filming done there has been no rumors flying so there is nothing really to talk about. I doubt there will be much to talk about untill next fall when the title is announced and the first trailer is released then the talk will really heat up. By the way when will TPM be shown on TV I thought I heard it was Thanksgiving weekend but I have seen no advertizement for it. I am guessing it will be May who knows they could have a sneak peak of EP 2 then, at least we can hope. Oh by the way there is only 549 days until EP 2

Let's make this thread a little more entertaining. I say whoever updates the thread should give us a SW quote. I'll start us off with one of my favorites;


You've failed "Your Highness", I am a Jedi. Like my father before me.

[Jedi Master Kyle]

anyone notice that this thread has been around for over a year now?

[Jedieb]

I think it's pretty neat. But if you stop and think about just how many days we have left it gets kind of depressing...
:(

[Jedi Master Kyle]

I just think about what will happen to us after 2005. What will we do then when we have absolutely nothing left to talk look forward to. Then the wait till E2 doesn't sound so bad.
