R1 is just a fan film though.

I think murderers should die in the exact same way they murder their victims

Later in that article:

Another solution is to use CGI effects…"‘Rogue One’ is the road map," says one “Star Wars” source, referring to Lucasfilm resurrecting Peter Cushing and making Fisher young again in the current hit.

It sounds like their plan is to double down on the video game cutscenes. Maybe PIXAR can take over at some point.

Seeing as how Disney is undoubtedly not going to wait until the technology is ready I hope they at least can touch up the CGI characters in subsequent releases of the films that implement this technique…which could be every damn one of them for all we know.

Exactly. I’m of the thought that Luke had to direct Lor San Tekka there as I remember the Jakku village being close in proximity to Niima Outpost. I mean that’s a little too obvious.

And to clarify I don’t think doubleofive meant that Luke didn’t trust Leia and that’s why he gave R2 the piece of the map. If Luke didn’t trust her he wouldn’t have given it to TWO mutual allies.

Look, I’m fine with certain minor things in the Star Wars universe not making complete logical sense. I mean, it seems like it’d be a lot easier if astromech droids just spoke English (Arabesh? whatever…) rather than bleeps and whistles, but who cares?

The movie straight up tells us that the resistance does not have a map of that region of space, so the fragment from Lor San Tekka is meaningless without context. Then R2 spontaneously reactivates and reveals he has the full map minus that one fragment. It seems to me like something that needs an explanation.

I could have sworn BB-8 put the last piece in…

He did, because there was a piece missing. Like I said, R2 “reveals he has the full map minus that one fragment.”

I thought you said “plus” that one fragment. My mistake.

But in regards to:

I’m not exactly sure how it can be meaningless if that was the final piece that completed the map. That seems pretty damn meaningful to me or am is there something I’m missing?

Either someone (possibly Luke, possibly someone else) knew where Luke was going and put the map in R2 (why?). Or someone tracked Luke’s journey, created the map, and put it in R2 without telling anyone else in the Resistance (again, why?).

That entire thing does need to be explained but mostly because of Lor San Tekka being on Jakku and how that might relate to Rey. That doesn’t really coincide with your main point though.

How is not major? It’d be like if the original Star Wars never explained what the Death Star weakness was.

Not at all. It’d be like if the original Star Wars never explained why Leia couldn’t just beam the plans directly to Yavin.

Fuck, that hadn’t even occurred to me. Why would you do such a thing to me?

Cthulhunicron said:

It’s hard for me to believe that if the Empire and the First Order had a map of that region of space, but the Resistance didn’t. After the fall of the Empire, the Rebels would have had access to many imperial bases, ships, computers, records, etc.

That still doesn’t mean they would learn literally everything about The Empire. I’m quite sure Palpatine would have wanted such information to be harder to access than most information one could salvage from The Empire. Could be very few places where these maps (or the pieces) were stored and the other places could have been simply destroyed. Also I’m not sure if you’re aware that The First Order was an Imperial Remnant so they had access to archives of The Empire as Kylo said which is how they found how they recovered part of the map. The New Republic may have had access to more sources of Imperial intelligence but it doesn’t really matter as the early version of The First Order also had the means to obtain knowledge.

Also, I don’t see how R2 could have had the map before Luke left because the map has a line showing which planets Luke has been to. I mean, maybe it’s a map that Luke found, and the line is showing the migrations of the ancient Jedi or whatever, but that’s never stated in the film. I also don’t see why he would leave that in R2 before he left if he was trying to prevent anyone from following him.

Or he could have plotted where he was going on the map and given the information to R2. You’re overthinking it dude lol.

STAR WARS never explained how the proton torpedo defied the laws of physics and got “sucked” into the narrow exhaust port which lead to the destruction of the first Death Star. It doesn’t really matter at the end of the day.

I’m not so pompous as to delude myself into thinking me merely disagreeing with you would prompt you to go on this childish endeavor.

FTFY

Sorry, I have completely lost you. Could you please explain these three points to me:

1. How is asking a simple and logical question like “why not?”, in response to a comment about my ranking (i.e. “I did not see that coming”), being “pissed off”?

2. How is wondering about 1. being “childish endeavour”?

3. You disagreed with me on what exactly? I don’t see any expression of disagreement in your posts with regards to my ranking. I only see rather off-topic childish endeavour in your posts.

As for the rest of that…I’m not playing your game. Try that crap with someone else.

I do appreciate his commitment to the bit. Even if his shtick has gotten stale I didn’t think he’d be able to keep up to pretense for this long.

I merely asked why as I was genuinely interested. I do not see any pretence in that.

We must have really pissed the man off.

Don’t flatter yourself.

Actually if anything someone like Frink should have angered you more. I’m not so pompous as to delude myself into thinking me merely disagreeing with you would prompt you to go on this childish endeavor.

I would probably contemplate letting it in my house but I wouldn’t want to know what bat shit smelled like.

Literally couldn’t have said it better myself.

How do you account for the differences both big and small between the two scenes?

EDIT:

I’m also curious as to your opinion on the Rey interrogation scene and how similar it is to Leia’s interrogation scene.

The only that scene would ever really be a rehash is if Kylo and Han got in a lightsaber duel and/or Han sacrificed himself. As it stands the scene being conversation based adds a new elements that isn’t really in STAR WARS. Sure Ben and Vader talked but it was mostly taunting whereas Ben and Han actually had a conversation. Also the mindset if the characters is quite different. Vader has no qualms about killing ben while Kylo is conflicted. Ben has given up hope on Vader whereas Han still has hope his Son could go back to the side of decency and that even though his son has done terrible things his actions can be rectified.

The scene is only a rehash is you ignore certain details.

Yeah , unless R2 conveniently waking up ties in with something of major significance it probably will be glossed over. Plus there are many things Episodes VIII and IX need to explain like:

• Rey’s inherent talent for the Force

• Who Snoke is

• The political landscape after the Hosnian system was destroyed

• How Maz got her hand on Luke’s original saber

• Who Rey’s parents are

so something like this is low on the list.

Yeah, that evil plane of existence can stay as far away from me as possible.

Until he ruined it with the very next post.

Yeah, it’s hard to him even a modicum of praise when he turns around and acts like that. I think it’s gotten to the point that we need to entertain the idea of informing his mother about his behavior

You’re thinking of when Anakin goes off to find his mother.

First one made me legit giggle…Don’t sleep on Onasi.

There goes my theory on unity not being possible in the SW community. I’m glad I was wrong about that.

Updated list:

1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. STAR WARS
3. The Force Awakens
4. Return of The Jedi
5. Rogue One
6. Revenge of The Sith
7. The Phantom Menace
8. Attack of The Clones

I’m waiting to see 3rd person gameplay or at least confirmation that it’s going to have 3rd person available before rendering judgement. But boy if it’s just 1st person I’ll pass on that mod.
