35 Reasons why "Star Wars" is better than "Titanic"
1. Titanic's big, but it doesn't have hyperdrive.
2. Star Wars has WAY cooler action figure potential.
3. Yoda could use the Force to lift Titanic out of the water.
4. Leia is a princess, a senator, a freedom fighter, and Jedi material; Rose is just marriage bait.
5. Ewoks throw better parties than either first class or steerage.
6. When flying towards the Titanic, Wedge can't say "Look at the size of that thing!" and really mean it.
7. It would be much scarier to get chased around the boat by a raving madman with a lightsaber as opposed to a handgun.
8a. Titanic is egalitarian by portraying poor people as sympathetic characters. Star Wars is egalitarian by
promoting bug-eyed amphibians to Admiral.
8b. Said bug-eyed amphibious Admiral manages NOT to lose his ship.
9. We know Cal is the bad guy because he sneers at the poor and treats his fiancee like property. We know Darth Vader is the bad guy because he strangles people and blows up planets for fun.
10. Yeah, Leo can dance, but can he fly an X-wing?
11. People have not lost their lives trying to recreate scenes from Star Wars on the bow of a cruise liner.
12. Rose braves icy water to rescue her man. Leia braves Jabba the Hut.
13. Two words: John Williams.
14. There are always enough escape pods in Star Wars.
15. Do you know what the Empire does to self-proclaimed "kings of the world"?
16. If Luke were handcuffed to a pipe below decks in a sinking ship, he would use the Force to get the key.
17. "I'd rather be his whore than your wife," just doesn't have the same sting as "I'd rather kiss a Wookiee."
18. Han is frozen in carbonite and turned into a wall ornament. Leo simply freezes.
19. Han Solo would've missed that dang iceberg!
20. We knew the boat was gonna sink. But who could've anticipated, "Luke...I am your father."
21. Stormtroopers blast big holes in stupid minor characters; everyone in Titanic was a stupid minor character.
22. Dead people have that cool glow around them in Star Wars. In Titanic, dead people just have little hungry fish around them.
23. When Star Wars was proclaimed coolest movie of all time by half of planet earth, George Lucas did not make a fool of himself at the Oscars.
24. 1977 special effects in Star Wars still more believable than those stupid computer shots of the Titanic.
25. Titanic morals = gamble, cheat on your husband, pose nude for pictures, premarital sex is OK if you're in love, etc. Star Wars morals = fight evil, do good, respect all life even if it's ugly and slithers, rescue princess, save planet.
26. R2D2 - enough said
27. Let's see, Jack vs. Han in a fistfight...who do you think'd win?
28. The shot of the Star Destroyer crashing into the Death Star outdoes the Titanic sinking any day!
29. Millenium Falcon flies through asteroid field unscathed...Titanic hits the only iceberg for miles.
30. Leia endures Imperial torture droids and Vader's mind probe without serious mental problems...Rose wants to commit suicide because she can't stand her fiancee.
31. Star Wars had sequels! And prequels! Can't really do that with a sunk ship.
32. Titanic heroes: Jack and Rose. Star Wars heroes: Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, 3PO, R2...the list goes on.
33. Titanic finale: Everyone dies. Star Wars finale: good triumphs, good guys live, bad guys die, galaxy celebrates.
34. No cool aliens in Titanic. (Well, unless you count Leo, but he's not cool.)
35. Cantina band vs. Titanic violins.
