I like Rey’s hair.

End me already. I can’t wait.

I believe you’re already doing a Take On Me joke in your RotS edit, but I thought this was too perfect.

I did a mock up of what it might look like, but I can’t post it since it’s using a theater recording. I think it came out pretty funny, though.

What about “science fantasy”?

LOL!

Thanks. I’m glad I asked first. Those 6 threads don’t need to become 7.

Thanks for the suggestion! However, my goal is actually to make the score less Star Wars.

Very interesting idea. I might suggest watching some war movies and paying attention to their scores, and trying to emulate that style.

Is there a thread over in General Star Wars Discussion about the possibility of rebooting/remaking the prequels?

Yoda with a lightsaber is hilarious,

Is that a good thing? I don’t think it was supposed to be funny.

I’m glad I found this site.

This got a laugh out of me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beDN-q3UcbY

I love that video. Found this gem in the comments, too;

“And the winner is… Woody Allen!”

“What? How can you do this? This is outrageous! It’s unfair! How can you be a world famous director, and not have an Oscar?”

“TAKE A SEAT, young Lucas.”

It sure seems like they don’t mean anything to him, given all the disrespect thrown around in one single post.

If nothing else the avatar shouldn’t be allowed for obvious reasons.

Yeah that avatar is confusing.

I don’t understand.

It just dawned on me that Vader’s confrontation with Ahsoka is only 7 years before RotJ. He ages a ton in those 7 years.

I’m praying for no prequel references. That’s all. I honestly don’t care about anything else.

I think I’m going to judge the film on how good it is, rather than if there’s a random comment about Geonosis.

This. TFA had no PT references and it sucked. On the other hand, R1 had PT references and it was good.

After Finn’s defection, one of the New Order guys was touting how clone troops would be better.

There are a few minor references which are negligible compared to references in R1.

I count two in each film, and at least half of those barely count as references.

TFA:
• “…balance in the force”
• “…clone army”

R1
• Castle Vader happens to probably be on Mustafar

It was confirmed to be.

• Bail Organa exists

Both movies’ PT references are very minor.

Saw Gerrera isn’t from the prequels, but he’s a prequel-era character.

The flashback scene with Coruscant.

The actress for Mon Mothma.

Turbo Tank.

Nope.

Not a true fan 😛

I like that Owen and Beru aren’t the evil step-parents of traditional fairy tales. Lucas wanted to do something like this in earlier drafts, having Owen smack Luke around, etc., but it works much better as it is in the film.

The video is suggesting the opposite, though. It’s suggesting making Owen more likable.

Improving the Original Star Wars

Thought this was pretty interesting, and might be controversial around here. Not sure if I agree with all of it, but I definitely agree with making Owen and Beru more likable. I got the same feeling of ‘relief’ when they died, honestly. I felt like they were an obstacle in the way of Luke’s destiny.

DARTH MAUL: Apprentice - A Star Wars Fan-Film

Seriously though, parody movies have been dead for a while now. Gone are the days of Austin Powers, Young Frankenstein and Spaceballs, and we can thank the Wayans brothers for killing the genre.

I totally understand how a prequel reference can ‘offend’ someone who doesn’t accept the prequels as canon. But my biggest problem with the prequels is that they didn’t feel like they were a part of the same universe as the OT, I’m happy with almost anything that ties the two trilogies together a little bit more. Rogue One did a pretty good job of tying the two trilogies together, IMO.

I’m glad that I can watch the OUT, TFA, and R1 and not have to acknowledge the existence of the prequels AT ALL.

There were prequel references and callbacks in TFA and R1, but you were able to enjoy those movies without thinking of the prequels. Why not just keep going with that model? Very subtle prequel references that tie the universe together.

There are so many prequel lovers that want to see things shoehorned into the new stuff - F that. You can go watch your prequels, but keep them out of the rest of the stuff.

Don’t mistake me for a ‘prequel lover’, I’m fully aware that they’re bad movies.

I’m picking up a pervasive mindset here that the best way to go is to outright reject anything you don’t like, and I dig that that works for many of you, but I really don’t feel the need to do that with the current canon. I understand where you’re all coming from, because the NJO books absolutely didn’t jibe with what Star Wars is for me and I never felt comfortable “counting” them, but honestly nothing that’s official right now has been objectionable enough for me to cut it out. I know most of you aren’t keeping up with new books and/or comics (except maybe Haseo) and so you have little incentive to invest in the official version of canon, but one of the things I enjoy about Star Wars is that there’s always more of it, and part of that bargain is allowing the duds to exist on the timeline. I find it much easier to just acknowledge that AOTC happened even though it sucked than it is to perform the mental gymnastics required to make it all hang together when some comic references the events of that film. Doesn’t mean I’m going to start watching it all the time, but I’m fine with it occupying a point in the chronology. Part of what draws me to these sorts of sprawling sci-fi/fantasy epics is the convoluted history of it all; I get a certain amount of joy just from the way things fit together that’s separate from my opinion of the individual things. I guess what I’m trying to say is that rolling with the official canon doesn’t necessarily have to equal jumping through hoops to make yourself love everything Lucasfilm puts its stamp on.

I totally feel this.

As I said

I don’t really have a personal canon of what I think really “happened” but I do have certain pieces of SW that I like and certain pieces that I don’t. There is a distinction between the two concepts.

So there are certain SW things that I like and some that I don’t, but I don’t have any desire to make a “personal canon” out of them. Is there any chance something like Labyrinth of Evil and the original Marvel run really happened in the same continuity? Unlikely, but I don’t really care.

When it comes to canon I have no issue accepting the “official” one. Just because the prequels aren’t great movies doesn’t mean I have to strip them from the franchise entirely and scoff off any new material that references them. When Darth Vader formed an army of battle droids I thought, who cares? that’s pretty cool. Honestly, if people had never seen the offending films the concept of Vader rebooting an old army of droids would have jazzed nearly everyone.

I totally understand how a prequel reference can ‘offend’ someone who doesn’t accept the prequels as canon. But my biggest problem with the prequels is that they didn’t feel like they were a part of the same universe as the OT, I’m happy with almost anything that ties the two trilogies together a little bit more. Rogue One did a pretty good job of tying the two trilogies together, IMO.

I’m with Cobb when it comes to canon. I accept all of the movies as canon. I may like Stover’s interpretation of RotS more than the movie, for example, but I still accept the movie as canon.

That’s true, but Fake Jason™ is making a brand name. If he ends up killing everyone using Fake Jason, then he’ll have no one left to buy his killer products! 😃

I’m a fan of those memes.

Jeff Sessions confirmed as Attorney General. Disgusting.

*The distinction between Duku as a rogue Jedi and Maul as a Sith might be lost on the audience.

Recoloring Dooku’s saber might help with this.

“Only a master of evil, Darth.” Seems a perfectly fitting place to use his title, personal moment or not.

Anyway, if Lucas was going to change it to make it more “personal,” why would he change it to Anakin?

I think if Ben put more emphasis on the Darth, said it in an vaguely spiteful tone, I’d be fine with it. Almost as if to point out that he’s just another Sith Lord, his own identity has been stripped away from him. He just says Darth very casually, IMO, as if Darth were a first name. I think either Vader or Anakin would’ve worked too.
