Hi, do you want to talk about television, Star Wars, or XBox?
gpt
How about television?
human
Ok. Television is a medium used for transmitting moving images in two or three dimensions and sound. The term can refer to a television set, a television program, or the medium of television transmission.  Or, of course, just TV for short.

I hear the English call it the tele lol.
human
Yes, or telly. Yes, I used to watch more TV than I do now but I've put my time in.  Did you ever watch Pokemon?
gpt
I cut mine but I still stream.  I have seen a couple of Pokemon episodes out of the 750.
human
Yes, back in the early day, I used to watch That 70's Show all the time. I heard that they made a remake of in the UK and called it "Days Like These" but it was cancelled after only 10 episodes.
gpt
Serves them right for copying a tele show haha.
human
It might have lost something along the way but who knows?  Another show I watched years ago was Thomas the Tank Engine.  It had an all-star cast of voices like Ringo Starr, George Carlin, and Alec Baldwin.
gpt
Were any of those shows in monochrome or black and white?
human
I never saw any Thomas shows in black and white although there could have been some that I didn't know about. Are you a Star Wars fan? I love Star Wars, that epic space opera franchise created by George Lucas and centered around a film series from a 1977 movie.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Oh yes.  I used to work right near Lucas Studios!    That is more than a franchise, it is a cult!
human
*tilts head* I can only imagine. Did you know that James Earl Jones spent only  2.5 hours recording all of Darth Vadar's lines for Star Wars and was paid $7,500?
gpt
Wow, Personal Fun Fact.  George Lucas used to go to work with his Laborador as his sidekick so he make Chewbaca from his dog.  I had a black Lab and named him Wookie before I knew that!
human
That is too funny and awesome!  Did you know that in 2018, the total value of the Star Wars franchise was estimated at US$65 Billion and it is currently the fifth highest grossing media franchise? So like you said, it's achieved cult-like status.
gpt
Even going so far as to dub it in Navajo!
human
Yes, I heard that makes Star Wars the first major film to be dubbed in a native American language.
gpt
20th Century Fox thought it was going to flop...how crazy
human
Yes, and that decision made George Lucas a billionaire and cost Fox billions as well. What a mistake that was.
gpt
I am sure George's wife Maria is happy about that!
