You’ve undermined your thesis that people are merely conditioned to like lower frame rates. People readily accepted talkies and color.
Not even slightly. Both colour and talkies were fiercely resisted at first. Chromophobia was the popular position among artists of the time. Of course, all three advances make the films appear closer to real life and therefore further diminish the illusion of stepping away from reality for two hours. Amusingly the same happened to a lesser extent with the migration of television to HD - people complained how sharp and fake it looked.
But I’ve probably derailed this thread long enough. Do you think we’re likely to see more weaponized hyperdrives in canon now?
You do know many silent films originally had color tinting?
And when sound film was starting to become a thing, one of its detractors was disparaging talking, but praised that you could use it to include musical scores with the film to add emotion.
‘Mega Destroyer Incursion’ deleted scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3yPL5tVo_E
What a wonderful and expansive set! Real shame this scene didn’t stay in (at least the first part until the doors close). Must have been some serious $ dollars to shoot this scene, with the scale and all the extras, left on the cutting room floor.
The Officer in the white uniform is a good British TV character actor too, he had a recurring role in Ricky Gervais The Office.
LOL! That was great. Funny and tense at the same time. Pity they cut it.
Ok, watching through it, that’s not the scene of Finn being mistaken for an officer I swore made it into the film. (I haven’t had a chance to look at the official Blu-Ray, so I can’t comment on what the scene I was thinking of was.)
