...good film but wasn't it basically Star Wars in fantasy form thou?? :rock: ...

Other than the fact that it was written by George Lucas, I don't really see too many similarities.

 

I own the movie and watch it at least once a year. I've even convinced my fiancee to name our first daughter (if we have one) Kaiya, after Willow's wife. It fits perfect with my fiancee's traditional middle name of Jain. Kaiya Jain, it just has a nice ring to it.

I think it was the Hobbit, somehow SW got mixed in there

 

Neat name, Zep, has a nice flow to it. My wife & I kinda went different with our son's middle name, it's Aryn, slightly different then Aaron, just thought it had a nice feel to the way it's spelled.

 

Been forever since I've seen Willow, may have to see if I can find it somewhere & either buy it or rent it.

 

 

Also didn't Chris Clairmont do something with those books? I recall a ad in Dragon mag that showed armored rider from the side with that in it.

 

ps love Clash of the Titans, even had the action figures!!!!!

Dark Horse as in the title or comic book publisher?

 

Love Frazetta & older Boris V stuff

Comic book publisher. One of their comics is being released as a movie in the next few weeks. Something about Vikings I believe.

I agree with Styates. Willow was one of Val Klimer's crowning achievments. What's not to love about the story either! It's got all the things that make fantasy stories good... evil queens, two-headed monsters, anti-heroes.... brownies?

 

I LOVED those guys! Did any of you ever see the "making of Willow" special on HBO (I think it's on the DVD too) where the guys who played the brownies were grumbling about how all the other actors got nice trailers and they got Barbie Dream House?

 

While on the off-topic topic of non-Willow fantasy films, who here has ever seen Labyrinth? I never could figure out how David Bowie kept himself so slender after devouring ALL that scenery. :lol:
