General Star Wars <strong>Random Thoughts</strong> Thread
Time

Saw the Clone Wars movie was on Netflix and decided it might be good for a laugh, so I turned it on. One thing that struck me is that the opening space battle shot looks practically just like ROTS and all the sets look almost as realistic as in the prequels. Basically what I’m getting at is, save the actors, the prequels are basically a cartoon.

What about Col. Klebb in From Russia With Love? She sure gave off a lesbian vibe in that one scene.

Yeah, that’s who I was referring to. She was a homosexual, Honor Blackman in Goldfinger was bisexual, and Wint and Kidd were homosexuals in Diamonds Are Forever. I’m still not sure about some characters, but Skyfall had at least the fourth homosexual and fifth or sixth LGBT character in general.

It is even clearer in the (excellent) novel that Klebb is lesbian. Her lusting over Tatiana (the pictured scene) progresses to the point where it becomes very uncomfortable.

What is your personal canon?

The concept of personal canon is such a weird and intangible thing to me. Do you guys really see all these things fit together when you consume these movies/TV shows/comics/etc.? Or is it just simply you compiling what bits of Star Wars content you like and think are worthy of existing (for lack of a better term)? Or is it picking the things you think make sense together and should be things that happened in this universe?

I agree. I love the OT and TFA. And since I like them, I watch them. I don’t like the PT, so I don’t watch it. That’s pretty much all there is to it.

Star Wars: Rogue One - * Non Spoiler Discussion Thread *
Time

I too highly doubt the production is in trouble. But I would be disappointed if the reason for the reshoots is to make it less of a “gritty” war movie and add more of the Star Wars “magic” of the episodic films. It would be interesting to experience a film of a different tone in the SW universe, and what better way to explore that than through a tangential plot line that’s not essential to the saga. It would be a shame if they passed on that opportunity.

OT Special Editions to have USA Roadshow Summer '16

More than likely even though they explicitly specify it’s the “original” '97 SE?

Maybe these are the new Reliance scans. Scanning the '97 negative is the obvious first step in creating a (long overdo) new master for the OT (OUT, SE, '04 or otherwise).

Unless they’re planning a wider, home media release of the '97 (which I doubt), if these are 4k DCPs, maybe its release in the '97 format—the current state of the negatives—is a sign from Lucasfilm to let us know “hey, we hear you, and we’re working in something.”
