Wouldn’t audiences just put two and two together and figure out when Dooku meets Sidious that Sidious was behind Dooku’s actions in TPM?
My plan was to leave it in unaltered since Maul is still Sidious’s apprentice, but I guess you do have a point about Sidious not being established. Still, maybe it can work.
Based on my test shot, I’d say replacing Sidious with Dooku is perfectly doable, so long as we can find a good enough voice impressionist for him. Also, the dialog introducing Darth Maul would need to be trimmed to leave out the part about him being his apprentice.
Still, I can’t help but wonder if it’d be too strange for Dooku to be hooded. Oh well, I guess.
For Tydirium, I love you’ve done with the sun on the horizon!
For Endor, you tried to bring out the greens, you really did, but the result is a nightmare. It’s giving me Harry Potter color correction PTSD.
For TROS there is no way around the spirit transfer ritual. It’s an integral part of the plot, so discussion of its removal is moot.
Except you could easily make it so that sucking the lifeforce of the dyad was Palpatine’s plan all along, allowing you to remove any mention of soul transfer.
Would it be worth adding Palpatines transmission from Fortnite? That would make a good intro
We’ve discussed it extensively by now, but seeing as it’s the last film in the Saga, maybe we could break tradition the way I did with the end credits being quiet. Basically, open the film with Palpatine’s message interrupting the crawl. Wait no, that doesn’t sound good. Maybe what could work is instead of panning down to a ship or planet, the camera stays still on the starfield as Palpatine’s message begins playing. Queue a montage of the First Order, Resistance, and various planets listening to it.
But in all honesty, unless you wanna use it as a way to cut the opening lightspeed skipping scene, you might as well just do like Hal and throw into the briefing scene.
Even blue blaster-fire has been more associated with the clones/stormtroopers.
Actually, since the PT they’ve been pretty good at giving good guys blue and bad guys red. Case in point: the Resistance fire blue bolts.
I’m really debating whether I should use the purple lightsaber scene, because I can’t see the colour haha.
Personally, I think the purple saber is silly, but that’s because I like sticking purely to RGB for saber colors. Throwing random purple sabers in the mix I find confusing and visually jarring.
Idea for a way to tie the saga together: Adding audio from Jedi: Fallen Order and CW03 to the voices-of-Jedi-past scene to make Rey become a Jedi Knight.
No subtlety. I don’t like it.
Honestly, if people are so worried about consistency in Force lightning color, why not making it red in the other movies too? Oh, I guess that’d be way too much work, wouldn’t it. And god forbid we edit this site’s namesake. /s
That’s an interesting, but I’m not sure it would work. Many years ago, I tried mixing the escape from Naboo with the capture and Geonosis to have the Queen talk with Dooku, but the result was pretty bad. You really need to have shots of both parties, and cut to whoever’s speaking. The most you could squeeze in here would be Dooku saying the equivalent of “I’ll get you next time, Gadget” before tuning out.
Trust me, we’ve been all been going through a lot. Or at least I have. Gone to rock bottom, my lowest point in years, and starting to build myself up again.
And SJWs are worse than conservatives because you’re expected to take them seriously. It’s widely accepted to laugh at conservatives.
Are you okay?
Make Dooku a hologram throghout most of the movie and have him completely replace Palpatine role?
I’ve been wanting to do that for ages. Now with EbSynth and Deepfake technology, it might be possible. It sets him up as a unifying villain like Vader and Kylo. I’d actually done a test for a shot of Dooku over Sidious using EbSynth, but I don’t remember how it turned out.
Man all the pics on this thread feel so tasteless to me. Just not my type, I suppose.
I made one a while back. Here’s the link.
Add Plo Koon’s voice, Ki-Adi Mundi’s voice, Shaak Ti’s voice, Kit Fisto’s voice, and Sassae Tiin’s voice into the Force ghost scene.
The only reason they included any background Jedi to begin with was to pass the Bechdel test. It would’ve been weird if it were just male voices.
Lol, I think everyone can discuss this in circles and it will never jibe when connecting to the series as a whole since George Lucas was clear: Sith don’t conquer death, only the Jedi could. So trying to make this jive with what GL has built and shown with what Disney has done simply cannot connect the dots.
Imo, it doesn’t violate anything. Palpatine isn’t living forever, he’s just Voldemorting; cheating death in little bits at a time, slowly losing his humanity in the process. He hasn’t conquered death, only stalled it.
This is about as productive as an average political debate.
I’d go further: It’s about as productive as the Trump vs Biden debate.
JakeRyan is Trump in this scenario.
I haven’t seen the American but hearing it secondhand I remembered the last Canadian debate being much the same, like kindergarteners arguing.

Of course, given Bruno Langley is now a registered and convicted sex offender, it’d be replacing Adam with Luke instead. It would require setting Dalek earlier for timeline reasons (otherwise it would be set after The Sontaran Stratagem), and some brief acknowledgement from Luke of having met the Doctor before.

Besides, it’s not like I’m child. I guess you don’t mean literally an adult but rather an older, more experienced adult.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s darn good film, but as far as Star Wars goes, it’s fairly middle of the road. Can somebody please explain to me why it’s seemingly universally considered the best in the Saga? Hoth is fun, albeit a little meandering initially. Luke and Yoda is all well and good, but Han and Leia’s storyline besides being fairly unengaging features some really creepy romance. The finale is pretty good, but I always feel bad for how everyone treats Lando. He comes to rescue you and the first thing you do is choke him? Really?
Disney+. I have the Blu-Rays but for some reason the OT looks like a grainy mess on them (just the film itself: the menus look fine and so do the Prequels).
He prioritised looks over story at every turn, and the films are so shallow because of it.
And I bet it still isn’t particular good on mute compared to the others. RotS is probably still the best without sound.
I wasn’t even aware they were chanting actual words, but I’d be down for it to be Sidious.
Curious that Sidious got name-dropped in TLJ but was only referred to as Palpatine/Emperor in the movie that actually featured him.
It’s not really all that noteworthy since both Palpatine and Sidious are names that were only used in the Prequels, so either way it’s an acknowledgement of them. Then again, the Emperor had always canonically been Palpatine and was established as such in additional material, so maybe Abrams called him that not 'cause of the Prequels but 'cause it’s what was on the box of his childhood action figure or something. The same logic applies to the use of the word Sith.
I agree that China isn’t getting shit for how horribly they handled covid. This is by and large their fault.
Anyway, I recently had a massive falling out with some people on my Discord again. If these keeps happening, it’ll be a ghost town in no time. Why does this keep happening? I never had these problems until the past 6 months or so. And the worst possible time too, given my lack of passion and quarantine. It all compounds to make this the worst year I’ve had in ages if not ever. I don’t remember have a year that went quite this badly.
Then again, maybe I’m seeing it all black. The start of the year was pretty good. The late spring/early summer did start to show symptoms, but I thought I could still get back on track…I never did. It only got worse.
If audiences don’t question Windu’s purple lightsaber, I wouldn’t worry about it.
Anyway, I think it’s about time we moved on from this fruitless debate.
Agreed.
The way I see it red = Dark Side therefore red lightning makes perfect sense, arguably more sense than blue lightning.
