A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

No, they DO have Star Traders in Tatooine! You just thought it was "only" a gift shop! ;)

Here was the thing about the "original": You started off outside on Endor. But, you were on a flight to Endor. You arrive at Endor finally, disembark from the transport and then... you're on Tattooine... Figure that out.

Psh, yours made it to Endor? Every damn time my pilot kept overshooting into this damn asteroid field. Then there was some Star Destroyers, another Death Star, and all this commotion.
Trip was cancelled and we crash landed back at the spaceport, narrowly avoiding a fiery death. Last time I ever let Expedia pick one of those "unadvertised specials" ever again! :mad:
RIP Bud Hurlbut.
You will be missed.

I know, which is not only appropriate, but completely awesome. I need to go over to our friends house, he has a Naboo fighting in his garage I want to check out.

We'd need to engage George Lucas to patch up that hole...

I always book direct with the transport agency, however you do get what you pay for...

The water heater? ;)
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Well, I got to ride sooner than I thought;
Yesterday I was at Disneyland and they were having previews. I rode a few times.
The ride is AWESOME! I love the new storyline.

Possibly, I haven't been over yet to check it out.

By the way, I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say that while underwater on Naboo, the Starspeeder almost hits Jar Jar.

I'm now getting this picture of passengers moving to one side of the speeder to try and get it to change course just enough to hit him. Ether that or people demanding to go to "manual control" to take a crack at him...
