Progress! Here’s the latest version of the Maz’s castle sequence. Thoughts?

As a fan of what you are all doing - though lacking the eye and knowledge for the minutia/detail - I’d say that was a pretty seemless and well executed sequence. Very nicely done 😃

Well I was hoping days or longer… ‘we’ve traced the rebel spies’ sounds like a long process not just glancing out at the corvette’s license plate. Comments floating around make it sound like the latter though. I will see how this all holds up on second viewing.

Yep you’re 100% right about that. This all Vader/Leia affair (sic) which ends the movie is a huge continuity mistake. Leia should have never been at this battle; Vader should have engaged charcaters we know and not just random rebel troopers we don’t care about. This clearly shows the limits of fan-service when it doesn’t serve (and even damage) the story. Without its “OT skin” this movie would already be forgotten.

Maybe they are random rebel troopers you don’t care about - though to me, for what they were fighting for, in the situation they were in, for the actions and sacrifice of others to get this far, knowing they were likely going to die - yet still did their utmost to get those plans out of there… I sure did care. I think probably many others do too?

It certainly didn’t ‘clearly show the limits of fan service’ or ‘damage the story’ - in fact, for me it was just the opposite… the everyman characters making a difference too, making their deaths count for something, to contribute to the cause in which they giving their lives for - along with the ‘heroes of the story’ in the Rogue One crew.

Yes, it was a great scene itself with Vader showing his prowess, but the overall message of the film - for me anyway - was that of sacrifice for a better future, or at least a chance of a better future.

Whether that be Galen working for the Empire for years to actually hinder it in the design flaw and to delay it as long as possible, the Rogue One crew & the rebel soldiers on Scarif knowing the situation was likely a one-way mission, to the overall actions of the Alliance when they decide to join the fight.

 

‘Without its “OT skin” this movie would already be forgotten.’ - well, erm… considering the whole film is set in that OT timeline and a big part of that OT story - to the point where the story of the film is embedded in the OT, it is not quite a valid criticism, is it?

You could equally say Return Of The Jedi wouldn’t have been made ‘without it’s OT skin’, no?

Isn’t it nice to see Mala’s critiques still inane as ever?

I’m sure he’ll be back with more of them soon mate 😃

I will have to revisit this when I’m an old man, but personally I would like to save that kind of leering for younger women.

Give those dames some respect!

Younger women? Are these young enough for you?

https://www.change.org/p/daily-mail-mailonline-stop-the-daily-mail-sexualising-children

8 years old, 12 years old, 14 years old, 15 years old…

Kind of a nasty jab mate, I didn’t get that from what he was saying.

I don’t see it as a jab - it certainly wasn’t meant as one - just a question to highlight some of the content of what the Mail is about. The leering about younger women, thankfully, seems to apply to over 18’s - though not necessarily in the Daily Mail’s (or some of it’s readers) case…

Being from the UK, I immediately knew you were referring to the Daily Mail’s well known reputation for leering after underage girls (while often calling for pedophiles to me burned at the stake on the same page). Outside of the UK, people might not know this paper’s rep and might think you were insulting them, which you clearly weren’t.

For those still unclear, this clip from comedy panel show HIGNFY sums it up succinctly…

That is a good point mate - which sometimes I forget posting on here (to many US users, as opposed to the UK).

I apologise to Aldreraan for any offence my question caused.

I apologise to you. I’m not as U.K. literate as those from there so I took it differently than you meant it.

😃

No apology needed from you mate - though thank you anyway my friend.

I learned a new phrase today… I like British slang!

Educational and a bit of fun too mate 😃

 

Thanks! 😃
Ever since I visited England years ago, I learned the proper pronunciation on some places/locations.
ie: Thames, Worcestershire, Leicester square.
I remember trying to find a theater in “Lester square”, but kept on finding Leicester. That’s what threw me and my family off.

Spellings and names of locations usually throw geography and English teachers too here mate 😃

Leicester Square in London? Erm… shouldn’t it be erm… Leicester? No - obviously it should be London! 😃

Hope you enjoyed your time here mate.

Alderaan said:

Thank you. Apology accepted mate.

Thank you for accepting my apology mate.

(and big thanks also to Ryan McAvoy for explaining it better than I ever could)

I’m surprised anyone takes it seriously - even more that anyone still buys it.

Don’t celebrities pay them for publicity? Whenever I’m on that site, the headline seems to be about someone and their sex tape.

I wouldn’t know - I’m rarely, if ever, on their website.

I imagine some of the celebrities’ agents are on friendly terms with the editorial staff (or those who decide what goes in or not) and spinning the mutual PR agenda to push sales/exposure further - and also that of the ‘celeb’ involved.

For me it’s on a level with The S*n, Express and Star (and Channel 5 tv) in the UK. Definitely ‘media’ to avoid.
