First Composite… Looks Great!

How are you going to do the block slamming down??

Ahh anyway quick note which I am sure you are aware of. 2004 sondmix (not sure about Blu ray) has the sound for the the Carbonite Block slam come in late. It is in synch in the Gout. I hope you fixed that. Really sloppy sound mix edit there in the SE.

Wow…I had initially thought that this would be too grandiose for Ady but yet again he curb stomped my incredulity. Astounding work.

Even when I say it’s okay not to know super obscure characters I still get shade thrown at me…This fucking fandom

I was just looking for a reason to post a link to that article.

I’m fine with that.

The creature is in the film, its name is not. So yes, you brought it up.

And as I keep saying, canon is what you make of it, not what a corporation tells you it is.

Friendly reminder that the words “Ewok” or “Ewoks” are never said in ROTJ.

It’s a bit different than not know who Yarna d’al’ Gargan is.

Depends on who it is. Sentients like Darth Bane, Grand Admiral Thrawn or Exar Kun should be instantly identifiable names to any fan of Star Wars. Not knowing someone like Kas’im or Darth Talon IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THOUGH.

But the movies are all that matters!

I once thought as you do…

You don’t even have to read the novels/comics because there are videos on the internet covering these characters.

you can even go on a fucking Versus video and learn about different characters with minimal effort and time expended. There is no excuse.

I’m sorry, but when people say that “there’s more than just the movies”, I just shake my head.

Maybe that’s because there IS. Whether you think all of the other stuff is good or not is a different topic.

TV’s Frink said:

I’m not interested in dealing with semantics but I know this conversation came about when I responded to someone saying other people should post links because they’re not open to reading/watching/playing other things Star Wars related. That’s all there is to it.

And as I keep saying, canon is what you make of it, not what a corporation tells you it is.

I have my own personal canon but that has nothing to do with someone wanting other people to pander to their laziness.

TV’s Frink said:

You’re the one who brought it up and claimed we aren’t true SW fans, whatever the hell that means

moviefreakedmind said:

Please include links to Wookieepedia when referencing creatures/characters whose names aren’t mentioned in the films (except for the ewoks of course).

Also like I said there is more to Star Wars than the films. Star Wars is a pretty general term now that is applicable to multiple mediums.

Last I checked, this thread is still about the films. Not video games, not books

With canon being what it is it’s hard to not mention certain aspects of the EU or nuEU.

moviefreakedmind said:

I also don’t care about canon

Ok then stay away from any conversations that are about these stories and characters. Simple.

Bultar Swan is still equally as fictional as Darth Bane

I don’t remember this Jedi completely changing the order but if that’s how you feel.

I thought Ken’s thank-you was essential.
I throws the audience into thinking he might need help going home and shows Ken’s world view to be utterly twisted by his Master’s teachings.
He genuinely find’s Han’s sacrifice to be ‘helpful’ and thanks him sincerly.
That’s really F&*ked Up! In a good way.

That’s my issue: the only reason Kylo would say “Thank you” is because Han did something that was helpful. perfect line.

Han did help him. By putting himself in a perfect position to die Kylo has an opportunity to fully embrace the Dark Side. I see no issue with it.

I expand my horizons through study and travel, not Star Wars books

We’re talking about Star Wars; not the other activities that fill your days. You don’t even have to read the novels/comics because there are videos on the internet covering these characters.

TV’s Frink said:

Other than Thrawn, don’t know or care who those are.

Well you should because even though they ruined the character Darth Bane is canon and he’s the reason the Sith were only two. And even if you don’t care I’m not going to go the extra mile because of people’s unwillingness to see beyond the films.

I’ve never heard of any of those characters.

Well perhaps you should expand your horizon. Star Wars is so much bigger than the films.

similar to The Force Awakens when the Republic planet is destroyed, but that benefitted from Hux’s epic speech.

and Domhnall Gleeson’s great acting. That speech is the only thing about Starkiller Base that doesn’t revolt me.

Then show me a film with better CGI at that time…

Lord of the Rings trilogy. Minority Report. Gladiator. The Matrix. Pirates of the Caribbean. Armageddon. King Kong. The Fifth Element. Titanic. Independence Day.

Not that I like CGI and not that those films don’t have some flawed shots but there’s quite a few that have better work than the Prequels in the late 90s/early 2000s. The first Matrix especially, hasn’t dated at all (It helped that a lot was practical).

The first Matrix’s effects look awful now

I…disagree

Now post all the really dated stuff like the squidbots,

Yeah The Machines look pretty bad now. As it pertains to the other two I’d have to see the film again to be fair.

Why do some of my photos shrink for no reason?

Only that he’s a die hard SW fan who watched the OT once a day for a month straight once.

That’s still only one person’s opinion and don’t you think his love of the OT would somehow interfere with his enjoyment of TFA? That seems to be a thing with people who are fanatical about the OT.

swagmasta69 said:
The mood of the crowd leaving the theater was decidedly deflated as well.

It varied in my viewings. 2/4 times it got a nice applause and it felt cheery after it ended. The other 2 times I was either blasting Bathory or was too distracted with talking to my sister to care.

Also what does your dad’s opinion have to do with anything? He’s but one person.

swagmasta69 said:

I want to see what ps3 games you’re playing.

The same game those floor textures come from.

Shot of the Star Destroyers is nice though.

LuckyGungan2001 said:

The graphics in the prequels generally are closer to PS4 graphics. Amazing in a video game, astonishingly obvious next to real people.

Early PS3 graphics at best.

At this point George should have just drew all of the special effects.

swagmasta69 said:

moviefreakedmind said:

looked like video games.

That’s not an objectively bad thing.

I’m pretty sure he/she meant PS2 graphics. That’s a very bad thing.

swagmasta69 said:

He loks like he’s looking at him though?

I mean…he looks like he’s staring at the space between the two Clone Troopers. Close enough right?

It’s got the worst dialogue out of any of them.

Anakin: You are so…beautiful.
Padme: It’s only because I’m so in love.
Anakin: No. No, it’s because I’m so in love with you.
Padme: Then love has blinded you?
Anakin: Well…that’s not exactly what I meant.
Padme: But it’s probably true.

Yep
