Star Wars - The Tosche Station scenes.
Just a casual remind that I’m working on a frame-by-frame restoration of Luke and Biggs’s conversation.
Rogue One - Vader’s assault on the Tantive IV.
Um, what? That’s the most universally beloved scene in the movie? If you disliked it for being fanservice, you’re gonna hate Solo.
I have nothing against fan service, I’m an anime fan after all. I disliked it because for a multitude of reasons:
-It presents an excessively agile Vader that fails to match his mannerisms in the original trilogy.
-Portrays Vader as a one man army that takes an entire squad by his own unharmed. This begs the question as to why they bother sending storm troopers in the first place.
-There’s an inherently artificial feel to the scene. Comparing it to scenes in similar locations in Star Wars it’s baffling how something made on a larger budget several decades later could look so much worse.
-It’s illogical, Vader could simply snatch away the plans (they’re right there!) with his powers.
