"always in motion the future is..."

[Jedi Master Carr]

So how willl this work now that we are in the new site? I was wondering because we each can determine our own time right so there is no board time unless I am totally wrong about if so let me know.

[JMK]

I have no idea how this one will work now. I'm sure it will figure itself out eventually...

[JMK]

241 days left.

"Artoo, why did you have to be so brave?"

[Jedi Master Carr]

I figured another day has passed so 241 days left and only 23 days left until we finally get TPM on DVD

I'm not a slave ,I'm a person and my name is Anikin

[BUFFJEDI]

236

Am I the only one left doing this Or am I just getting to it before evryone else?:rolleyes


strong am I with the force,but not that strong

[Stanze]

235 Days left...I've been busy, sorry about my slacking.:)

"Why, it's my primary function..."

-Stanze:)

[Doc Milo]

I was just about to say, Buff: Since we've moved to the new board, you've been single handedly carrying this thread! (Ain't too heavy, is it? Cause those 12 oz curls I do would be of no help, anyway. Steer it this way Buff. No. No. The other way. No, back here! Yeah. That's right. Perfect. Right in the middle of the room. From here, I have the perfect view of the ballgame!) :)

I believe Buff's 236 is correct. You both posted for the same day.

[BUFFJEDI]

:lol

whew thanks Doc , it was getting pretty heavy :)


hey how's the game ? Yankee's winning ;)

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think it is 235 now, I know there was a mix up with the time about that time and it caused some confusion. Well I think we are back on target.

"Apology Accepted, Captain Needa."

[Stanze]

It's your 1138th post! Cool!:)

234 Days left....

Trailer for EPII is coming soon too! WooHoo!

"It's working!"

-Stanze:)

[Jedi Master Carr]

I'm just curious Stance are you from Australia or New Zealand? I am asking because here its only 235 days left and I know we can set our own time here and the difference is confusing me. If you are its no problem and explains part of the problem we are having keeping up with it.

[JMK]

233 days left.

"You want the impossible."

[Jedieb]

232 Days To Go
"That, is why you fail."

[JMK]

Dood? How did you post from the future? It's still the 29th. I think the custom clock thing is screwing everyone up. It used to be so much easier...:\

[Jedieb]

Beats the hell out of me too! I just saw that someone had posted and the date said Sept. 30. So I went ahead and updated the countdown. This new clock is screwy. It's going to make keeping this thread in order a bit more difficult. Is there anyway we can get the clock straightened out? Do we have to contact an admin?

[BUFFJEDI]

its either233 or 234 today , I think???o_O

[BUFFJEDI]

actually I think This the 2nd day Of OCT. it should be


231 days until EP2 (I think :( )

[Jedi Master Carr]

I think they finally fixed the time at least I have the right time on my clock. They must have fixed when they were down yesterday.

[Darth McBain]

230 days remaining...

"I'd just as soon kiss a Wookie"
>>> "I CAN ARRANGE THAT"

---> Darnit - it lost my post count. Not that it was huge or anything, but I hate going back to ONE... :x

[BUFFJEDI]

229



your powers are weak old man

[Darth McBain]

227...

Did we miss a day?

"Why are they doing this?"
>> "They never even asked me any questions..."

[Jedi Master Carr]

Are you certain its 227? I'm just asking because on the 4th Buff posted it was 229 now we were all messed up there for a couple days because the time on the board was screwed up so we could have missed a day.

[JMK]

At TF.N today, it says that the movie is coming out the 22nd of may, so if anyone wants to believe that, then they can do the counting up until that day. I can't count past 3 this early in the morning!

[BUFFJEDI]

I say we leave it as is until there is factual reports on the date.






I see that, nice shooting

[Jedi Master Carr]

I guess I'll go ahead and do it, we already missed one day man I wish they would fix the time I am now an hour ahead.
Well 225 days to go I think.
"When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master."

[BUFFJEDI]

I think it should be 226:confused

[BUFFJEDI]

225 I think:confused





Than my father is truely dead.

[BUFFJEDI]

224 ?







why I stick my neck out for you is beyond my capacity

[BUFFJEDI]

223 ?


I've been waiting for you Obi-wan .when we last meet I was but a ,Now I am the master

[BUFFJEDI]

222



strong am I with the force,but not that strong

[Darth McBain]

221

"That's what I'm trying to tell you kid, it just ain't there"
> "What? HOW!?!?"
>> "Destroyed... By the Empire..."

[BUFFJEDI]

darth Mcbain posted 221 on the same day I posted 222 BUT I think his number is correct.Beliave it or not I count from yesterday until may 19 and I got 221(of course I counted :rolleyes )


220





No i dont think he likes you,

beep e beep

no I dont like you either

whoooo.

[BUFFJEDI]

219



luke ,tell uncle if he gets a droids make sure it speaks (I aint even going to try a spell it)


:rolleyes

[Jedi Master Carr]

Buff I hope you mean the 22nd because that is the rumored date for AOTC. The 22nd is a Wed , the 19th is a Sunday. Oh well for know I will keep with your date counting and if you find its wrong go ahead and correct it, if you want
219 days until AOTC
"All too easy."

[BUFFJEDI]

I don't know Master Carr,I'm Confused:rollin

I did the recount on a calander,BUT I had to count past 10.:(

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well this site http://www.countingdown.com/movies/episode-ii has listed that there is 219 days to go, so if we can assume they know what they are doing then we are only a day off, so the next person who posts needs to say 218, I will edit my previous post to make sure it comes up right.

[BUFFJEDI]

218




Thanx Master Carr,Glad one of us knows whats going on :D You Da MAN




hurry up golden rod,or your going to become a perminate resident

[Darth McBain]

217 Days to Go!!!

"Yes or No will do"

[Jedi Master Carr]

No it still 218, Buff posted after midnight on Sunday and it was the 15th. Probably you are in a different time zone so , I figure it wasn't your fault. But this is becoming a problem maybe we should post the day and time that we posted in our message to prevent confusion.

[Darth McBain]

I thought that something seemed weird when I posted that... According to the time/date stamp I saw on Buff's post, it was posted around 11:00 PM Sunday evening, so I figured nobody had posted todays... Although that seems really weird - Why would someone post so close before midnight on a thread such as this?

At any rate - my bad :\, I'll watch out for that in the future...

We currently at T-minus 218 days


"No Light Speed?"
>> "It's not my fault..."

[Jedi Master Carr]

No problem I can see how it easy it could be to do it. I have been worried that something like that would happen especially if there is somebody who lives in Australia posts on here that would really mess it up.

[Darth McBain]

Now we are at 217 days... I think...

"The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi"

[Darth McBain]

216...

"Either way, we're running out of time"

[Darth McBain]

215 days remaining

"Nevertheless, I'm taking Captain Solo. You can either profit by this... Or be destroyed..."

[Darth McBain]

214 Days Left...

"What's that? A transport! I'm saved!!"

[Darth McBain]

213 Days Left - Soon we'll be under the 200 mark!!!

>> Whoops - the time on my home PC must be a little fast, I thought I hit it right after midnight, but it said it was a bit early... Oh well - close enough... Just remember this was technically Saturdays post... <<


"Obi-Wan Kenobi... Obi-Wan... Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time - a LONG time..."

[Darth McBain]

Ok - NOW it is officially 213 days... I stayed up the extra few minutes to make it official, and I am :zzz


"Maybe you'd like it back in your CELL, your Highness."

[BUFFJEDI]

203




you should not have come back

[Jedi Master Carr]

You posted a few minutes too soon Buff but now it is 203, if you want to edit your post go right ahead.

[JMK]

From tf.n:
It claims that episode 2 will open on the 17th of may, a week earlier than originally thought. I don't think we'll adjust the countdown yet though...

[Darth McBain]

We're at 203 for the movie (unless the release date has changed)...

And we're at T-minus 3 days until the trailer...
Short though it may be, I think the trailer is going to be awesome!

[JMK]

202 days left.
Happy Halloween!

"I'll return, I promise."

[Darth McBain]

201 days to go...

and 1 (oh yeah!!!!) day until the first trailer!!

"That boy was our only hope."
> "No - there is another..."

[Jedi Master Carr]

Today is the day we get our first glimse of AOTC. YIPPIE, Oh also it is only 200 days until AOTC.
"I must obey my master."

[Darth McBain]

199 days to go!!! We are now under 200 days!!!

Whoops - jumped the gun by a minute, I'm excited though, we've broken the 200 day mark :)

[Darth McBain]

198 Days Left...

"Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction up here, but we're all fine, we're all fine up here, now, thank you... How are you?"

[Darth McBain]

197 Days to Go until AOTC

"BO SHUDA"

[Darth McBain]

196 days to go...

"OH SWITCH OFF!!!"

[Jedi Master Carr]

195 days to go and only a couple of days until we get the next trailer:) "Anakin duck. Tell them to take off."

[llvllerlin]

I believe its now 194. I'm a bit uneasy because of EP I, but I'm not gonna let a small slipup ruin my enjoyment. I still have IV, V, and VI!!

-"Yes, your highnessness?"
...(skip a few lines, fill them in if you like)...

-"Whats the matter!? Afraid I was gonna leave without giving you a goodbye kiss!?"

-"I'd just as soon kiss a wookie."

-"I can arange that. You could use a good kiss!!"

[Darth McBain]

Actually, I think we're still on 195 - due to time zone stuff, sometimes the timestamp here shows the post as slightly before midnight, or sometimes people just jump the gun a bit. At any rate, I think we're at 195. Of course, once we get official word on the release date that might change :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Yeah it just has to do with some posters seeing different times. I live in the East so I am usually one of the earlier one (unless some posts from Europe or Australia) but anybody in Central or pacific would see it as yesterday.

[Darth McBain]

194 Days to go

"Myself. The Boy. Two Droids. And no questions asked..."

[Darth McBain]

193 days left...

"You came in that thing - you're braver than I thought..."

[Jedieb]

192 Days Left

"I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board."

[Jedi Master Carr]

191 or maybe less but I will wait until Lucas makes it official

"No! Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try."

[Champion of the Force]

Maybe it's just me, but it looks as though we've jumped ahead a day again (points to McBain's posts). :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

Oh that was because of mixup with a newbie. I had posted right after midnight and I guess the next person that posted must have lived in central, or Mountain, or Pacific and didn't know I had posted for that day. Mcbain just corrected him/her so I think we are right of course we might have to skip 7 days shortly.

[Darth McBain]

Are we at 190 now? I think... (at least according to our original number)

"Stay in attack formation"

[Jedi Master Carr]

I guess the time has come to change the date. We now know that it May 16 or is it?? I guess we have 183 days until AOTC. (Somebody might want to double check my math)
"Told you I did. Now matters are worse."
"That Boy is our last Hope
"No there is another."

[JMK]

If we are counting today, and the day of release, there is 184 days left. If we are counting starting tomorrow, and the day of release, there is 183 days left. If we are starting tomorrow and counting the day before as zero, then there are 182 days left. I don't really care which one we use....

[Jedi Master Carr]

I guess we will let the next person pick it, too bad I don't have a chance cube:p

[Darth McBain]

I could be wrong, but I would go with your middle number JMK, so that would put today at 182 days to go. If we need to adjust we can always do that.

"I shall assume responsibility for losing, and apologize to Lord Vader. Meanwhile, continue to scan the area."

[Darth McBain]

Actually, I just counted and I believe we should go with JMK's first number of 184, therefore there are now 183 days to go.

[Darth McBain]

182 days...

"...and now I sense you wish to continue your search for young Skywalker"

[Jedi Master Carr]

182 days to go and since the new trailer came out I want to put a line from it here but I will use spoiler code for those who don't want to read it
Someday I will be the most powerful Jedi ever.

[Jedieb]

I'm guessing JMC meant 182, heaven help me if we're still in the 200's!

181 Days Until AOTC

You haven't learned ANYTHING Anakin!

[Darth McBain]

181 LONG days to go...

I finally saw the trailer - thank you E! news. This is so gonna rock... In my opinion, this is where the countdown really gets going.

Sorry, but I am just so excited for this - I CAN'T WAIT!!!

[JMK]

180 days to go. Try to enjoy the wait, after episode 3, there's no more anticipation. It's over. :lol

"You're not all powerful Ani"
"I should be."

[Darth McBain]

179 days to go...

She's a politician, Anakin. They are not to be trusted

[Jedieb]

178 Days To Go

It's all Obi-Wan's fault!

[JMK]

177 days left!

"Cover me Porkins!"

[Jedi Master Carr]

Looking over the thread I realize I messed up the other day when I did. I posted 281 and I mant 181 :o Doing that confused Jedieb so now it should be we have 175 days to go. One thing that I must say that is the last time I posting when I am half asleep. So 175 days to go.
"I'm on the leader."

[JMK]

I trust your math!

[Darth McBain]

Wow - something screwed up pretty weird... The days remaining should be 172... Post count should be 352 I think... Mods, do your thing with getting rid of the dupe posts...

"OWWWW... Phooey!!!"

"Prepare a boarding party, and set your weapons to stun."

[Jedi Master Carr]

Darth, there are some extra posts some people were conversing about things related the date, etc but I think it would take a while to get rid of them and I am not about to volunteer for the job. 170 days to go.
"Oh you can get your ship out."

[Darth McBain]

169 days to go...

Don't worry about the posts, they have been cleaned up...

"Will somebody get this walking carpet out of my way?!"

"Hold them in the security tower. And keep it quiet..."

[Darth McBain]

163 days left, although on the main page, it claims 149 days left... Until we figure out what gives, let's stick with 163...

"Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold..."

[Jedi Master Carr]

He changed it now says 161 but we can leave it till tomorrow when he confirms that it is right. I pretty sure it is because he used a java script with the 15th as the date so I guess we must have been off 2 days. Oh well at least now we will never be wrong.:)

[Darth McBain]

According to my count, there are 162 days between now and 5/15...

My guess would be to stick to our guns for now with our number of 163 (putting that on the 16th...)

"There's something not right here..."

[Darth McBain]

162 days to go...

"Imperial Troops have entered the base. Imperial Troops... *crackle* *hiss*"

[Jedieb]

I just double checked the dates with a spreadsheet and we're right on target. I think the confusion may rise from the counter actually counting the 16th as day#1. The last day that should get a number should be May 15th. If you start counting backwards from there then you'd get to 162 for today's date.

[Darth McBain]

161 days left...

"Sir, if I may venture an opinion"
> "I'm not really interested in your opinions Threepio"

[TheHolo.Net]

I adjusted the counter on the front page to coincide with Jedieb's calculations. :)

[Darth McBain]

Cool thanks... It was getting kinda confusing there...

[Jedieb]

We're depending on MY calculations? THAT'S MADNESS! We could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end our trip real quick!

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist geeking out for a moment.
:D

[TheHolo.Net]

...fate is in your hands. :p

[Jedi Master Carr]

Jedieb, your man we all trust if your wrong though there will be hell to pay:p Well 160 days left
"The force is with you young Skywalker, but your not a Jedi yet."

[Darth McBain]

Man - I wouldn't trust that counter on the main page - now it says there are 148 days to go... :huh Stick with Carr's number - 160 days to go...

[TheHolo.Net]

McBain: Is the clock on your PC correct in its date display? Because the counter on the main page reads 160 days as it should for me. That counter pulls the current date straight from the PC you view it with.

[Darth McBain]

Hmmm - it is on my home PC, I'll have to check later - I think it is right, but maybe it is off. What's up there now is correct with 160 days... Thanks.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away...
It is a dark time for the Rebellion. Although the Death Star has
been destroyed, Imperial troops have driven the Rebel forces from
their hidden base and pursued them across the galaxy.
Evading the dreaded Imperial Starfleet, a group of freedom fighters
led by Luke Skywalker has established a new secret base on the remote
ice world of Hoth.
The evil lord Darth Vader, obsessed with finding young Skywalker,
has dispatched thousands of remote probes into the far reaches of
space...

139 Days to Go

It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy....

137 Days To Go

Turmoil has engulfed the
Galactic Republic. The taxation
of trade routes to outlying star
systems is in dispute.

Hoping to resolve the matter
with the blockade of deadly
battleships, the greedy Trade
Federation has stopped all
shipping to the small planet
of Naboo.

While the Congress of the
Republic endlessly debates
this alarming chain of events,
the Supreme Chancellor has
secretly dispatched two Jedi
Knights, the guardians of
peace and justice in the
galaxy to settle the conflict....

[Jedi Master Carr]

136 days to go and one more day left of 2001 Woo, just think we now got about 4 1/2 months until the madness begins.
