I think it’s childishness is made up for in some of the character moments, the space battle portion of The Battle of Endor and the Luke, Vader and Palpatine conflict even though of course as I do have a couple of issues with that conflict. All in all I still think it’s a very solid film even for all it’s flaws.

The Leigh Brackett draft of TESB didn’t have Vader as Luke’s father. That’s a strong enough indicator to me that Lucas hadn’t thought the idea up yet.

Well that draft was obviously written post STAR WARS so it’s possible he could have strict orders not to include that bit.

Also this is pure conjecture but perhaps the “No, I am your father” plot twist was a throw away idea that he had while writing STAR WARS and revisited the idea while making ESB.

EDIT:

Density beat me to it dammit

and revisionism begin with TESB

Elaborate please.

In SW, Darth and Luke’s father were two separate characters. In TESB, they’re retconned into being one and the same.

Is there any definitive evidence that George didn’t plan for Luke and Vader to be related?

and why does he do a “hand-boner” ?..

I don’t have a fucking clue.

Either that or he is in the midst of clenching his fist which complaining about that is like calling someone ugly because you’ve been shown a photo of someone in the middle of saying something.

I think this may have been posted already but I’m posting it anyway. This is too ridiculous not to be from the 90’s.

clever, but not asking for love. this is a good post.

Well he’s getting it whether he wants to or not. Accepting my love and letting it fester inside him is something that’s within his control.

lol. you know, after i posted this i realized that it looked like i was dissing your post somehow. i wasn’t. but it did obviously affect my wording.

I actually didn’t fully understand what you were trying to convey. I just picked the most likely scenario and ran with it 😄

Well I go to on my Youtube feed to see that Migos is still making music. As if I haven’t had enough soul crushing disappointment this week.

Also I can’t watch Rogue One until another month and some change…just thought I’d throw that in there.

Not only does the franchise’s long slide into universe-shrinkage

I don’t think one should blame something good for how it was used in future installments or other franchises. A good example is the fact that Vader was such an awesome villain that George literally made him Space Jesus in the PT. Should we blame Vader being awesome for that?

and revisionism begin with TESB

Elaborate please.

but TESB is very different in tone and feel from SW; many fans may have fallen in love with Star Wars for the optimistic, swashbuckling nature of the original film, and may have found the grittier, grimmer nature of TESB a harsh, unwelcome departure from that.

I can see that but there were plenty moments of levity and STAR WARS was clearly made to be the 1st act in a 3 act story. To go in another direction would have been George not staying true to his original vision. That’s just how I see it though.

If she was maybe she’ll reappear later in the film and fight Vader though I doubt it because she’ll probably get smoked shortly after talking to Jyn. I still hope that’s not the case but that in conjunction with Harloff saying someone in the Force Sensitive (I very much doubt he meant Vader) makes this very possible.

I think the line about taking chances should have been saved for the movie. It was a pretty strong line of dialogue.

EDIT:

Speaking of Jyn, I really think I’m going to like her. Having her family ripped away from her, her saying she’s not used to people sticking around when shit hits the fan and her overall demeanor in the scenes where she’s rallying the troops are all things that will make me certain that this is a character I can get emotionally invested in.

I almost made my father crash the truck on our way home from work because I screamed “IT’S VADER! IT’S DARTH FUCKING VADER”. He yelled at me but I didn’t care because holy moly this trailer is amazing and I couldn’t be any more hyped for this film.

I get it when it’s folks who were around for the original releases.

Yeah, maybe some people were so blown away by STAR WARS that literally nothing can ever top it in their minds. I’m always wanting to experience the next best thing so my mindset doesn’t allow for such mental barriers

You (I’m assuming) and I grew up with an OT box set.

Not exactly. I watched the OT in it’s entirety for the first time when I was 16. I had seen TPM, AOTC, ROTS, SW and the end of ROTJ (my Mom really fucked up with this one) when I was younger) before I had seen ESB and the entirety of ROTJ.

We first saw them in rapid succession and they’ve always seemed like parts of a whole. I imagine living through a three-year gap between installments gives you a much different perspective. I can definitely see how people might only dig the original, especially since it functions so well as a standalone story.

^Anchorhead doesn’t even care for Empire.

I know that at 22 I should be less sensitive about this but for some reason I feel weird when someone likes other Star Wars films but not Empire. I think my brain just can’t comprehend the shit.

You are correct so I guess I should have stated he didn’t care about album art that can only be viewed with technology. My B.

The fact that Microsoft hasn’t fixed the read only folder issue is absolutely deplorable. It’s been around since the XP days and somehow has been ignored.

I’ve never heard of this issue.

You must not care too much album art then.

EDIT:

Or proper song tags.

Darth ID made a funny. I’ll be damned.

Kristian Harloff tweeted that it is revealed someone in the Catalyst novel (who will obviously be in Rogue One) is Force Sensitive. All I hope is that character is not Jyn.

Do you watch the show he hosts? Collider Jedi Council? It’s awesome. I listen to it in podcast form on my iPhone. And on the topic of Jyn possibly being force sensitive, I would HATE it. Would bring down the movie a whole level for me. One of the big points Lucasfilm has said about Rogue One, is that it will be more grounded than any of the other Star Wars movies with no force users other than Darth Vader. This would really piss me off.

Yes but I watched less frequently after the TFA buzz died down and information was scarce. I initially knew him from the Schmoes Know channel

The 1977 theatrical version holds a special place in my world, but the contamination of the franchise has ruined my enjoyment of it. I last watched it ten years ago.

It’s still weird that some haven’t over the PT yet. It’s been so fucking long.

Of course but Gungan and Womp Rat mating habits are a completely different matter 😉

I actually used SweetFX during the early days of the GTA V PC port and luckily wasn’t banned. Them being assholes about MP modding shouldn’t affect the SP mods so long as they aren’t (somehow) intertwined. But then again I’m no expert on modding.

How cool would a nature show set in the Star Wars universe be? I can’t think of anything better.
