David Fincher & Jon Favereau interested in directing one of the films
http://www.slashfilm.com/david-fincher-the-latest-name-interested-in-a-star-wars-directorial-job-jon-favreau-also-in-the-mix/
Fight Club, Se7en & The Game are some of the few DVD's i've upgraded to BD....can't begin to imagine what a Fincher directed Star Wars would be like
J
Yes thats what i thought....I wonder what thoughts the Father would have on this?
J
I knew it.....I knew it!
J
Just maybe.....he escaped
J
Empty Space Wars......cool

Started this thread because there seems to be a load of 'What if" threads.

What would Darth Vader have been like as a ruler, if he had overthrown emperor palpatine and became the emperor/ruler of the galaxy himself??
I think he would be alright, like

Isn't Furious Gods only available on the mega huge 3D Blu set?
I do think the CGI Fifield was better than the practical one but that's more because the rubbish design of the makeup more than anything.
At least the CGI one looked on it's way to becoming alien and not just Oddbod Jr.
Yeah thats the set I got
I agree that the design of the CG Fifield looks a lot better & in keeping with the Giger look than the make-up version, but when you see the completed shot it does look.....CG.....maybe the graphics team were told to halt where they were when Ridley decided to go with a practical effect....perhaps they couldn't refine it.
I think overall the decision to go practical was the better solution, I watched the film again and I can't fault the imagery....nothing stands out as obviously CG, which is sadly what the general public scrutinise for....Recently a work colleague saw Skyfall and the only negative thing they said about the movie was the CG Komodo Dragons....I could'nt believe how that stuck in his head.
If Ridley had done the practical effect based on the design of the CG and enhanced it with CG, it would have been perfect

I hope the Daemon will not return, in a way I hope Ridley doesn't either, watching those documentaries he doesn't seem to have a clue when it comes to science.
Did you get the BD/DVD? I watched the huge documentary The Furious Gods, and I was really impressed on how he (Sir Ridley) insisted on practical effects supported by CG and not the Prequel style of effects, the sets & design were breathtaking.

This should please you Bingo.....if it's true (Aug 1st)

Indeed, but there is a plethora of EU stuff dealing with them chasing Boba around the galaxy.
The Marvel comic extended the pursuit for obvious reasons, but they did manage a flashback story or two with Han.
Hmm, I faintly remember all that....but really that was them just selling comics for the 3 year gap....dunno, I just fill in the gaps myself

I believe the EU states that that year was spent looking for Solo, as well, so no time to visit Yoda.
At the closing of Empire Luke agrees to meet Lando on Tatooine, it seems to be knowledge to them & the audience that Fett is taking Solo to Jabba....so a year looking for Solo doesn't sound right.
For the gang to meet up on Tatooine soon after Solo was delivered to Jabba to perhaps test security....then set up infiltration, perhaps they had to be pulled into another battle....but there was plenty of time for Luke to revisit Yoda

With the recent news that Glen A Larson is to produce the next 3 Disney Star Wars Films, heres a loose framework of the New Trilogy
Episode 7: Ric Olie in the Next Century
After the celebrations on Naboo at the end of the first episode The Phantom Menace, N.N.S.A launches another of it's communication probes. In a freak mishap Prominent 3 and its pilot captain Ric Olie are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit which freezes his life support systems, and returns Ric Olie to Naboo 55 years later....
Join Ric as he continues to point out the blatantly obvious to a whole new generation of starfighter pilots.....but attitudes have changed in his absence....his comments now border on condescending and patronising....it's a steep learning curve if Ric is to survive...
Episode 8: Jedi-Knight Flyer
A shadowy flight into the dangerous universe of a Jedi who does not exist. Abel Starkiller: a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a galaxy of criminals who operate above the law
Episode 9: StarDestroyer Galaxicon
The BattleDroids were created by Trade Federation. They rebelled. Fifty years later they came back. They evolved. They rebelled. They look and feel Human. And they have a plan.

Episode 7: The Return of the One Eyed Snake
After his miraculous escape from the Original Death Star, your friend & mine, Diaoga returns to terrify our unsuspecting heroes all over again with side-splitting results......not one for the faint hearted

Episode 9: Going Solo

Luke says to Artoo when heading towards Dagobah "I have a promise to keep to an old friend". No, this is clearly meant to be his first visit since he left in ESB. They might have spoken over the phone in the last few months though. ;)
C'mon......phone?.....huh?
They're bound to have Skype :)
J
ESB was 1980.....ROJ was '83.....um....3years ;)
No, I think it makes sense that Luke returned to Yoda between ESB & ROJ....the way he asks Yoda, "Is Darth Vader my father?" sounds to me like he had asked Yoda before, but now was pressurising him on the subject now that Yoda was on his death bed
J
"He's making it up as he goes along!"
The Treatments.....Ummm blank

Such Luddite thinking. The CGI in the prequels was staggeringly good, raising the benchmark for the industry. Consider: Jar Jar Binks was the first completely CGI main character in a movie (who cares if he was loved or loathed, the technical achievement of that character is something to celebrate and paved the way for Gollum in LOTR); the land battle between battle droids and Gungans was unprecedented and again pushed the envelope; AOTC was the first movie to be made digitally so again that broke new ground, as divisive as that move was; the CGI in ROTS built on the advancements made by the previous two films and raised the bar even higher.
Yep, Lucas has been constantly paving the way and changing the film making process...also pushing for digital projection.
But there can be too many green screen sequences....eventually it overloads and can spoil the film.
You should watch The Furious Gods: The Making of Prometheus Sir Ridley made a conscious decision to support physical effects with CG.....

A 'first' timer review of ROTJ (& links for ANH, ESB and ep 1)

I remember the cheapness of the film, a lot of the matte paintings were obvious, filming in a forest, Gammon Guards looked rubbish with their rubbery fingers bending back as they pushed Han & Luke before Jabba......but I still prefer ROTJ to any of the Prequels.
