If you have an extreme distaste of the PT, you should not watch it at all, theatrical AND fan-edited versions.
Every great empire reaches a point where going backward can seem more appealing than going forward. When the world is changing so fast, it makes us yearn for the old ways when life seemed simpler. But it doesn’t mean those old ideas are good for us now. We have to face one hard reality as a country … the new Star Wars was not as good as everyone thought it was.
Interesting.
I have never seen Star Wars and I’m proud of that accomplishment.

they went to see if the 3D was any good. And then in six months’ time they had largely forgotten it.
Just for the 3D (which was awesome and the only good 3D I’ve seen with Gravity and The walk) ? Not because it was James Cameron ? Not because it was the man which previous movie was Titanic ? The movie had an impact, people still talk about it (geeks mostly hate it for reasons I don’t understand). The only issue is that it’s taking quite a long time to get to see the sequel(s). We’ll really know what the Avatar cultural impact is when the second one is released.
A new generation has grown up watching interminable (piece of shit) movies such as Pirates of the caribbean and Transformers (or Harry Potter and the endless story, or The Hobbit goes for a 9 hours walk), perhaps that’s why under 150 minutes is considered “too short”…
I’ll check the exact timeframe.
edit: ok, it begins at 01:23:47 and lasts something like 15 secondes.
Since you’re at it, I have a little suggestion: when Anakin takes the Naboo ship the sound volume suffers a significant drop that makes the audio cuts a little bit obvious in this segment. It’s only a few seconds and it’s quite easy to fix (I did it myself with audacity as a matter of fact). I don’t remember the timeframe exactly.
The blame is on Canada.
You’re just jealous 'cause we have poutine.
Not at all. We have Hollande and quite often Merkel comes to visit, so… hum… yeah, I’m a little bit jealous about Poutine…
A. You’re a prick
Then just call me Mr. Prick.
B. Why do you even read this topic? You obviously don’t like this tvseries.
Right question, wrong thread. Re-post it here.
So you’re on a SW website to… talk about politics ? You deserve your new name…
You know I’m french, I don’t see the difference between moron, prick, douche, etc. So I picked one which seemed suitable to the guy; I use the same with you, my little frinkette. Now, if you don’t want to talk about the tvseries you can go **** (could be “read”, who knows ?) yourself (or duramachin) elsewhere.

Well I think I mostly agree. Like I said I hope the season proves me wrong in the end. But season 2 kinda had the same narrative issue that was hidden by very good stand-alones and the residual TCW sequel that was infused in it. So far, the season 3 stand-alone episodes are just ok and Maul’s caméo appearence is mediocre (imho).
Why do you even watch this show? You obviously don’t like it.
A. He’s a masochist
B. He wants to fan the flames of his hatred

By the way, aren’t the recently released LP based on the original LP ? “Ewok Celebration and Finale”, is it the 1983 cue or the 1997 one ?
Yeah I understand that, but the fact is that twice in a row he could have easily destroyed one rebel captain and two Jedis as well as one of the most efficient crew of the rebellion and he doesn’t for a “master plan” we - as the audience - have no clue about (not even a hint of some kind, just “they shall see… they… shall… see” stuff). This is why I don’t like the way it’s written because there is no real contruction of the main season plot yet, things don’t add up so far, so it doesn’t work well (but it seems I’m the only one bothered by that). When Vader in season 2 or Tarkin in ANH lets the rebels go away we quickly know why; here it’s just “yeah they can go away, I want the entire fleet”. Thrawn reminds me of Maul (series version): (very) talkative and smart ass but in the end everything falls apart for every possible reason. But again I would be pleased the show proves me I was wrong.
How I am supposed to know in advance that the third season of a show I kinda like is going to disappoint me ?
The blame is on Canada.
Why did you fell in love with half finished movies ? The blame is on you.
So Thrawn basically gets own by childish tricks for the second time since the beginning of the season ? With a master plan that no one gets ? He seems pretty sure of himself each time but we never see in what way he puts the heroes in real danger. At least season 2’s Vader had a quick plan and within a single episode narrative destroyed half the rebel fleet. Quite disappointed by Thrawn. A weak vilain. I don’t like the way season 3 is written. Weakest season so far.
It’s pretty clear in ANH that Bail Organa was supposed to get the plans. And we know he’s in a caméo sequence with Mothma when the mission is discussed, so I guess it was Captain Antilles job to get the plans so that as a diplomatic ship he could avoid further Imperial investigation… but Vader couldn’t care less about diplomatic regulations and attacks the ship. The fact is that Leia was also supposed to meet with Ben and ask him to get involved. We might get some more info about a “hidden Jedi Knight who could help us”.
[I also wouldn’t mind at all a scene with the Imperial Senate, since we’ve never seen the Senate in the Imperial era; could be quite fun to see PT and OT visual styles colliding in one sequence]
After all the things we’ve been through ?
And what’s wrong with Worf/Klingons stuff ?
Rewatching TNG, hitting season 2. Way better than season 1. Measure of a man is a masterpiece (I love Data-centric episodes; Worf/klingons episodes are also great).
Or Daisy Ridley, just to feed my personal nightmares.
The surprising part of the trailer (for me) is the huge space battle. We really need a good space battle: TFA space battle wasn’t very imaginative, TPM’s was too short, ROTS opening was not really a space battle and AOTC only had a short asteroid chase. The cgi models for the x-wings seem too “clean” in the trailer (and there is a weird ornage color on the walkers), so I guess there is still some work to be done on the effects before the release of the movie.
Ah ok, it’s cool. Never really noticed that. Great work ! Just a little something: Vader does no longer look at Piett when he walks back the bridge. Vader should be “reversed” as well, shouldn’t he ?

By the way why is the footage changed here ? I don’t remember there was an issue with the theatrical version.
We shall see… we… shall… seeeeeee…
