The Star Wars franchise has been inconsistent in their portrayal of Dark Side corruption.

In the OT the only instances of Dark Side corruption are Vader and the Emperor, with both having very pale skin, and in the Emperor’s case in particular, yellow eyes. Later we meet Darth Maul, who has the yellow eyes characteristic of the Dark Side, but retained his youthful appearance throughout the twenty years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Count Dooku shows no signs of Dark Side corruption implying his fall to the dark side has been relatively recent or he doesn’t draw from the Dark Side as much as others do. ROTS really screws up the whole notion of Dark Side corruption by revealing the reason Palpatine looks the way he does in the OT is because of Mace Windu deflecting the Force lightning back at him (I always assumed it was because of his many years immersed in the Dark Side), and finally we have Anakin Skywalker whose eyes only turn yellow when he’s really angry or something. Finally we have Snoke and Kylo Ren, with Snoke looking very old and decrepit but doesn’t have yellow eyes even though he’s established to be a longtime practitioner of the Dark Side, and Kylo Ren who been a Dark Side practitioner for at least ten years yet doesn’t show the slightest hint of Dark Side corruption.

This franchise seriously can’t make up its mind regarding the whole dark side corruption subject.

I will help you with that, Disney doesn’t count as cannon. Only the Expanded Universe counts as cannon in this case, cause the EU makes sense when it comes to Dark Side Degradation.

They’re both cannon because they’re both explosive and damaging.

Why so much EU hatred from you Duracell? Are you Kethleen in disguise or something?

Deepfake take on Star Wars

Harrison Ford - Solo https://youtu.be/ANXucrz7Hjs
Carrie Fisher - Rogue One https://youtu.be/RiBqZoVe92U

I see no difference between the RO one and the original.

The flickering has stopped. I think it was just my internet connection last night.

I’m trying to download the multipart files, but FRD keeps saying there’s an error. Does anyone know what’s happening?

I’m gonna pm you a faster way but still do what the actual experts on here tell you.

I put the 4:3 shot back into 2.39:1 and coloured it slightly to match.

The quality is still a bit eh, but looks better

What was with that flickering shit?

Perhaps lower it to 6 and see what happens. Or turn it off and back on again.

Luke using the dark side to choke out the guards at Jabba’s palace.

Actually, this is one of the tidbits of ROTJ I do still like. It’s morally gray stuff like that the film needed much more of.

But who is Darth Henrietta? The Emperor?

Yeah. With the makeup, cackling, and aerodynamics, ROTS Palpatine brings to mind Henrietta from Evil Dead II.

Supposedly, it was done to make audiences unsure of whether or not Luke would become like his father, or stay on the good side. If that’s the reason, that’s cool.
But still, I thought that once you start down the path of the dark side, forever it will consumes you.
If he’s using the dark side of the Force, he must have been practicing it to some degree. And it’s like, why would he do that? How can you pick and choose when you’re going to use the dark side, and still not become evil?
And I thought the Force was only for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

The Jedi interpretation of the Force is just that — an interpretation. Just because they view the Force through some quasi-Objectivist framework which recognizes no shades of gray doesn’t mean the Force is truly like that.

The greatest failure of the SW films — and the franchise as a whole, really — is this idea that the Jedi have the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth on the Force and that any path differing from theirs is deficient.

I disagree. It is Lucas who invented this universe and its rules. He deliberately opted to introduce the concept of the Force and a dark side, a universe without many shades of grey. It is not a fault, it is part of its identity. I don’t see why the Star Wars universe should be made to conform to our own real world sense of morality. In my view this weakens the mythology.

I guess you could say this is among the top 3 reasons why I’m a lapsed Star Wars fan. Not only do I no longer believe in its fundamental worldview, I find that worldview utterly repugnant.

You’re a Kreia fan for sure.

Better to be a Darth Revan fan

I want my first child to be a girl. Call me a reverse sexist if you will, but all my adult life I’ve preferred girls over boys and would prefer a daughter before a son.

So reverse Darth Vader: find daughter before son

SilverWook said:

Seriously? The thing is called the Death Star. Good luck for any of those Imperials who escaped trying that tactic in court.

Well they could say they were forced into it. I mean Vader was threatening them constantly.

Not to mention Luke sure didn’t care about the innocent workers who died on the Death Star.

I very much enjoyed The Last Jedi and Solo …Resistance I am not crazy about and will just follow the plot through online reviews . And no , Star Wars was not killed by Disney , It is very much alive and I hear they are even making books , comics , video games and a theme park .Just the facts folks .

The whole idea of this thread is subjective because to those of us who prefer and/or grew up with the EU only to see it and the original actors flipped off has killed Star Wars’ essence, now the only thing left is the bloated corporate shell.

I thoroughly hate Darth Göring and Emperor Skeletor, so I won’t mention them.

Tell me how you really feel.

I really, really wanna fuck Daisy Ridley.

Why such hate for my boys Vader and Sidious?

I draw a distinction between Darth Vader (the main villain of SW '77 & TESB) & Darth Göring (the milksop of ROTJ & the PT who gets to go to Jedi Heaven after a lifetime of mass murder just 'cause he loved his son really, really hard).

And I hate Darth Henrietta for being a dimensionless Saturday morning cartoon supervillain.

To each their own I guess.

This sounds amazing. I saw a reference to downloading it through Google Drive and Mega. I’m not having any luck though, can someone give more specifics?
Thanks!

He’s not done exporting it. He’s having errors

Fantastic! Can I come too? 🤣😉

Huba Huba!! ❤️

Someone asked about cutting down some Mustafar stuff.
I tried this, to remove the over the top fight parts from Obi Wan and Anakin’s duel. Just some different cut and a music track in the end. It doesn’t feel like SW, but I like it.
Of course it’s just a rough edit…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2gGk7Q0fWE&feature=youtu.be

It feels like SW and it is fantastic!! My only gripe is that the music covers the voices at the tail end of the Anakin duel.

Why are you acting like this?

I’m just being honest, cause Crylo will never be as strong a character as even the lamest one from the OT

Even Sy Snoodles?

Come now. She’s the best character in that trainwreck.

I did some research and I agree but I think Vader and Uncle Palps should also get some mentions.
