True 005. I'd still take him out of the SB battle, unless someone can make the battle unbelievable.
What makes something unbelievable is the difference from ordinary.
So these movies build towards bigger moments. That's why the climax is in the third act, not the first 30 mins.
I think that one's even above cardinal rules.
Yeah, I don't think Hollywood invented that. I think it was the Greeks. :)
Cardinal rules, not carnal rules!
(In that case it would be about 15 minutes.)
Haha! Ah geez. You know what I meant by Greeks. Storytelling! :p
Yeah I did, but I couldn't resist. :-)
You know, we sing the praises of of explorers and scientists and all the great minds in our history, but no-one ever mentions the guy who discovered that the conclusion of a story should go at the end. I mean, the guy deserves some recognition, no?
lol.

Well, we don't have hall monitors in the UK, so I guess I'm off the hook. Phew. For a minute there I almost considered doing as I was told.
I'm pleased you like the icon. It's a pretty thing, ain't it.

LOL ain't that the truth! Not sure why that pic looks so evil, but I like it.
I met Ray Park many moons ago, my sister's ex Simon used to train with him. I trained with Simon for a while, too. He was 4th dan ninjistu and fucking hell he was scarily good. Once he made me and the other four guys training get up at 3am and meet him in the woods, barefoot, to fight. What a fun night that was. And when I say fun, I mean horrendously scary.

Oh hell, I should have known that.
Ric, help. I'm having trouble with my script. Not sure where to put the opening. Any tips?
in the beginning after the crawl (if there is one) obviously!

Now shush.

deleted, but thats just class.
Man, I had the strangest dream. Something about Facebook, movie openings, and six act plays. I think Maul was in there too.
At any rate, did I mention I had the strangest dream? Well, I had the strangest dream.

Are these the cardinal rules you speak of?:
But to keep this somewhat on topic, I was wondering if there is the possibility to add lighting effects be it on Dagobah, Bespin, Endor, the Emperor's private palace and the like to subtract from the "set look (uniform lighting from background to foreground)". Here are some examples:
Now see how easy it is to post witty retorts AND comments directly related to the thread title?
BTW, is there something wrong with the forum message creator? I used to be able to resize pictures so you wouldn't have huge pics taking up half the page, but now every time I resize the pic and submit the message, the pic is resized BACK to its original size. Hmmph...

Yeah there do seem to be formatting problems, not sure what's up with it.
Cardinal rulers, I like! :-)

That mock-up is probably a little too violent for SW, but I agree that some kind of slash mark on the mooks is essential, it just doesn't look like Luke's doing any damage as it is right now.
Uh, if that mock up is to violent for star wars, then they need to go back and take out the burn marks from ROTS
Those are just some slash marks, that guy is nearly being vertically bissected. It's a lot more violent.

ESF did an awesome mockup that shows a sun behind the throne room set that creates sunrays. Or i can remember Bingo's one to the homeone briefing scenes he added some light rays from top lights.
I like the idea, i dont know if its possible to do it to set shots. You know i tried to do something in the endor scenes. much more easy.

Like the poor geonosian that cutted in half by anakin? or obi cuted violenty the legs of the alien spider? or or or..

If anything I'd love to see that scene made as violent as possible. This is Anakin/Vader at his most violent moment, untempered by emotions for Padme and Obi Wan, just hatred of the Geonosians and others. Nute Gunray's death could have been even more horrific for my eye, given how much trouble he'd caused Padme for the previous two movies.
Come on Angel, do your worst with him ;-)
Whilst still on the subject of the original trilogy. I have never understood how the OTs got a PG rating in the first place. What with all the killing and the odd decapitation here and there. All it needed was angels OB1 dialogue to totally mistify me with the cert. given.

Here in the UK the original movies got a U (Universal) rating, meaning they could be see by anyone of any age. But really, why not? There's really not anything very strong in it. By the way, decapitation? I seem to have brain fog, I don't remember any loss of headage.
I watched Willow the other night (no classic but arguably more like Star Wars than most of the PT was) and that is full of dark moments, mothers and elderly women casually slain, areas strewn with corpses, attempted graphic infanticide.
Time Bandits too has moments of gore and goo.
Making the Ewoks and the saber slashes more nasty doesn't take ROTJ away from it's family fantasy roots.
The bloody arm and burnt corpses in ANH didn't twist my seven year old mind into dreading a new Star Wars film.

For one thing, the OT pre-dated the "PG-13" rating.
Really, SW has 'damn' and 'hell' but that's it as far as language goes. It also is the only film with blood (the arm decapitation).
ESB is thematically a bit dark, but surely not "R" worthy, and the torture happens off camera.
"ROTJ" has Luke kill everyone with his lightsaber of not-making-injuries, and no one dies except one ewok and an A-Wing pilot.
*Sigh* He's getting worse. Shouldnt feed the troll..
Lets go off topic yet AGAIN. Take the bad languge from Saving Private Ryan, then the normandy landings are in the same catogory as Toy Story for my kids to go and see then?
Educational yes, but i got concerned when little Darth wanted to bomb the kids in the playground after that though.
