If he’d directed ROTJ, the film would’ve actually been good.
well it’s official, a kind of ANH/ESB hybrid. And yeah, the stuff sideshow had at SDCC was definately the RO Vader.
While I’d prefer a really accurate recreation of the ANH suit, I think this is probably he next best thing, and it looks pretty great. WAAAAAAAAY better than ROTS! Thank goodness!
I’m glad the cool gloves from SW are back. I’ve never cared for the TESB + ROTJ gloves.
David Lynch’s films are simply awful. Nevertheless, he is a genius. Not in terms of film making but in terms of being able to convince so many idiots that his crap films are something special.
Get bent and stuffed simultaneously, asshat.
While I saw the SE once on VHS It didn’t take and I didn’t see what the big deal was.
That explains it.
I doubt him watching the OOT would’ve made any real difference. If anything, I bet he’d have been even less impressed.
To me if someone tries to do something for you, you should never then repay them with endless hate no matter the end result!
I’d hate anyone who fed me a diarrhea pie under false pretenses.
I wasn’t that interested in seeing the old movies until the new ones started coming out. While I saw the SE once on VHS It didn’t take and I didn’t see what the big deal was. It was episode 3 that got me to watch and rewatch the whole series.
I’m shocked – shocked, I say.
And yet they still lack anti-aging medicine …
If you want a movie about anti-aging remedies in space, go watch Star Trek: Insurrection.
Actually, don’t do that, you’ll wanna tear your eyes and ears out and shove them in a blender.
Done, done, done, and done.
Lucas talking about the Force is the most interesting part to me;
At first he just talks about how lightsabers are just regular weapons, but that they are preferred by the Jedi and he gives a pretty standard description of the Force. However when he talks about how “certain creatures are born with a higher awareness of the Force than humans”,he mentions that they have “more midi-chlorians I their cells.” So yes, Lucas did in fact make up midi-chlorians long before the PT, however here it’s a bit vaguer. And it’s interesting that it originates from this “improvisation” session.*
He also talks about how Luke needs “another twenty years before he actually begins to cope with [the Force] on a real level.” He also states that the Force can be learned by “anyone”.(*EDIT: Seems like Lucas has been tampering with this particular part in Rinzler’s book.)
I wonder if that last bit of info will ever make its way here. I’m doubtful, but it may happen.

Relevance, your Honor?
I wish there was a way to find out which images have/haven’t been posted without having to look through every single page of the thread.
Yhwx, can you please make an index post/thread that lists and links to every gif in this thread, with a simple explanation for each. Thank you in advance.

cmon, they talk about tapes but that dont look like a tape leia sticks in r2. So why can’t they just call it a data disc or data card?
Yeah, It’s almost as if Star Wars all happened in the past and in a galaxy that doesn’t match up with our own.
A Long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… If you will.
Oh…You must have missed the part where I said that they still could have redubbed the lines in 2004 or 2011.
The actor was probably still alive then so they could have used him still and it wouldn’t have to sound very different. GL probably could have got him for cheap too cause I don’t think he became a big actor or anything.
The movie taking place a long time ago don’t have any bearing cause Leia clearly wasn’t inserting a tape into R2. It was either a card or disc.
Now I wish they’d called it a wax cylinder instead of a tape.

I’m sure this guy counts.
Never thought I’d see an actual Angelfire link in 2016.
Yeah, I did a double take on the URL myself. I thought they had gone the way of geocities. 😉
I feel the same way regarding Tripod.
Most of the Imperial astromechs in Stars Wars were pretty colorful:
I suppose these “clear dome” astromechs are supposed to be newer, more advanced models than R2 & co. Why haven’t we seen more of them in the franchise?
I want a portal to open between the Star Wars and Dune universes, allowing Rey & co. to visit the planet Ix.
Amityville II: The Possession (1982)
The Killing Joke is the most grossly overrated Batman/Joker story ever told.
If the exact same story had been illustrated by a lesser artist than Brian Bolland – Klaus Janson, for example – no one would remember it, let alone revere it.
