How about a thread about stabbing pet roosters?

Cocks and cutlery? Bring it.

How about a Stranger Things thread?

We would need a corresponding Strange Things thread, this would lead to not stranger and extremely strange threads and lots of tears.

If not for E.T., we wouldn’t have the heartwarming film Pod People. 😉

This is what the space jockeys should look like… Podmetheus

Space Gays and Space Whales in same episode. I tell you the Hollywood big wigs are lurkers.

I’ll sign… Doh! 😆

Personally I’m making Dooku the main villain of the trilogy, replacing Sidious in many scenes, as it fits better in canon (although that’s not relevant in this thread), and will probably be easier to pull off.

It’s a radical shift in the story content of the PT. It’s relevent 😃

I have an idea for revenge of the sith and attack of the clones I was going to do it for my edit.You can go right away you should add darth mual into attack of the clones and revenge of the sith use after effects and take out count dooku and then replace with darth mual use a green screen and add him in I thought it was good idea to give Obi-Wan and arc during the prequels.

I thought I would post this idea here because adywan is not doing the prequels

Look, we all that Maul should have been kept as the villain of the whole trilogy, but it’s to late now. What you’re asking for is just not even remotely feasible.

I feel like this is kinda the point of the thread.

The point of the thread is to post ideas that really shake up the prequels rather than nibbling off the easier to get to urksome aspects.

It’s then up to an editor to think of how they would do this.

Now it would be very time consuming and labour intensive to recast Maul, film a new actor in costume and composite them over the existing footage.

But one way Maul could be the villain of the whole piece is if his body (as per existing canon) was salvaged from Naboo. He existed as a cowled figure in the second film and is revealed to be a cyborg in the last film. that way the only new footage would be an adjustment to the Sidious footage in the second film. This is doable and not too time consuming and shakes up the story (or lack of) in the PT.

David Bowie’s Labyrinth bulge was scary when I was a child but as I grew older I began to appreciate it for what it was. It’s the Christmas tree effect: the perception of size is relative to the space you occupy so when you’re a child the Christmas tree is a towering behemoth, but as you grow physically larger it becomes increasingly less intimidating and eventually you realize you were wrong all along: It was never so huge, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

I feel my relationship with the bulge has developed along similar lines. I would string lights and tinsel on it and put a gift or two underneath it for closure but sadly his bulge is in Heaven.

It’s true. All of it.

It’s the Phantom Menace junior novelization, but I’m putting it here anyway since it’s the first image that comes up on a search for the Terry Brooks novel, and it’s movie related:

For comparison, here are the Terry Brooks covers:

As read by The Young Americans?

TV’s Frink is a mean old man and he’s short and he hates the national anthem and he’s mean and I don’t like him.

Liar! You like him really.

Everything you said is correct. Except for the deal with it part, which I most definitely will not do.

And it would run out of generals eventually. There are lots in Star Wars but not enough to sustain any bombardment.

I feel like this thread might get locked.

But why?

Off Topic

I don’t know if it was the same for all regions but while the rest of the film was pan and scanned the crawl and opening shot where squished to fit the television aspect. I thought it was kind of cool because I thought this was part of the language of spaghetti westerns and not part of the tradition of adapting wide-screen titles to fit on television sets of the day. Squishyvision still give me a wave of nostalgia.

Agreed. Alculus sounds like an Ancient Greek protagonist with a drink problem.

Right. “Babys first Zelda game” depends on the baby. My “babys first Zelda game” will be one that has yet to even come out.

Closet Queen Baby’s First Zelda Game.

I really do like myself… I mean my genius idea that Luke’s new lightsaber is green because the Kyber crystal was salvaged from the Yavin system. IMHO

Time Travel can cause self fixing paradoxes, divergent timelines, and total continuity collapse. The same technology can take you to parallel universes sharing analogues of elements from your native universe. It’s fun. Like camping.

I’m surprised this wasn’t a bigger headline than it was.
Graham: ‘The war is headed to Africa’ (CNN.com)

I like how he says follow the enemy when he really means follow the mineral resources. The Chinese will not like US neocolonial adventures in Africa. It’s been their arena for decades now. The political elites collect wealth like I collect computer games that I haven’t the time to enjoy. The world would be a better place without them

Looking up at the skiff shots I’d imagine that if you were really filming a desert moving that fast it would brighter, not as in focus as the characters and subject to directional motion blur. The twin suns hardly ever appear in this sequence either. We only see them in the saga at sunsset which I guess is also an issue for AR:SE.

I frequently have dreams that sort of overlap with previous dreams to tell a story. Often I dream that my dad didn’t die but got very depressed and stormed out abandoning us as kids. He lives on his own and barely leaves his small flat. Sometimes he has tried to reconnect with my mum but he is too proud to come back. In my dream I got on a bus with a co worker. It’s a summer’s day and children are having some sort of sports day and my coworker is wanting to pass on a message to her daughter. Up on a grassy bank I spot my mum talking to a guy. I know him from other dreams. He has a daughter and his wife died and they are both enjoying eachother’s company. I feel happy for them both but feel sad for my dad because I know he is fighting his lack of confidence to ask my mum if he can come back. This dream world is so real that when I begin to wake up and hear my partner milling around our house I think he is my dad and I have stayed at his flat. The smokers cough is almost identical. My dad died around this time of the year. He was only 50 and I am 47. It feels weird to think that soon I will be older than he ever was and I am still putting him in this unhappy dream rather than accepting he got cancer and died. Mortality is a collosal pain in the arse if you don’t believe in heaven.

Just as a test, here’s the beginning of the sail barge sequence with flipped shots put back:
https://vimeo.com/238829311
It’s more jarring than the original, without a doubt. Although, I do like that Mark Hamill’s face is flipped back to normal now. I think that’s the main giveaway.

Can’t say I found any issue with those shots flipped back, I followed along fine with where the barge was heading and the other ships location to it.

.Val

I quite agree. The viewer can follow the action just fine, and quite frankly I’m seriously struggling to see why it was flipped in the first place, as IMHO this version is infinitely superior. The only possible quibble from pedants I can see is that when they finally arrive at the Sarlacc the skiffs are now on the barge’s left side instead of the right, but since they’re all flying vehicles with vast space around them on all sides, and we don’t witness the entire trip, surely it’s not beyond the wit of the viewer to assume the skiff moved to the other side at some point before the journey’s end? Donald Trump might struggle to understand it, but regular humans with at least double-digit IQs won’t. I didn’t watch that clip and think, ‘My God! The skiff’s teleported!’

Move the models in the right direction to keep the human faces pointing the right way around.
