Groan. I get that the actor himself has seen warmer reception recently, but any new Vader stuff is just key jangling, especially in recent streaming shows. Which I guess these fans are okay with despite the same Disney source.

Dude he’s the Chosen One and he mastered both sides of the Force and can switch between them whenever he wants, he replaced the Father

Sure he did.

Poor quality CGI and CGI-affected shots &amp; scenes in the Prequel Trilogy films…
Time

Channel72 said:

I’ve actually met people that claim they can’t tell if something is CGI. And there are people who defend the Prequels saying they can’t tell that the Clonetroopers are CGI.

I assume these people aren’t lying. There’s obviously some psychological aspect to this that isn’t well understood. To me, AoTC mostly looks like glossy shit, with some exceptions (some shots of Coruscant look cool to me).

They’re definitely lying, and most of those things have not aged well. The only exceptions are things like the scale miniatures, the Italy and Tunisia locations etc. Though I’d say certain elements of TPM hold up better, perhaps because of less blue-screen stages being used? Certain things in the movies seem intentionally designed to look like CGI which is weird. Like the trooper visors are way to fake-shiny, it could have been done differently.

Unfortunately general audiences might not see it that way. Just look at how many of them seem annoyed that people even talk about their desire to get it released. Like, how dare we even think about messing with with George’s true artistic vision etc. They’ve been fed that idea for so long now; if respect is due it’s not to SW 1977 and the ground breaking award winning original film… it’s respect for George or nothing; especially in the Disney era where they can say his story has been “ruined”. Despite all of the content he added between 1997 and 2005 being utter crap.

What do you think of The Prequel Trilogy? A general discussion.
Time

Definitely. A lot of Yoda’s teachings are about being afraid which leads to poor decisions. Fear led him into the path of Vader who was waiting to twist his mind, and letting Han die might have prevented it. It’s not “if you get married you’ll be afraid to be alone, so never get married or have attachment to anybody, and don’t feel anything for your family either”. If anything Anakin’s stupid love taboo plot cheapens Luke’s arc because it’s compassion over fear that saves the day. Unfortunately now the Jedi Order looks like a real life cult that takes kids and teaches them to forget their parents.

Firstly that one Ecks guy said the new version of SW had grain, which sounds more realistic as a leak.

Second what are they talking about 8k 120FPS, that’s not a thing right? I mean I hope, the high-frame rate stuff always look like utter crap, I thought it died out.

A rumour where one dubious source is reporting from another

https://x.com/sw_holocron/status/1952757061600588113

Plans for the post-Episode IX era have reportedly been revealed

• It will be similar to the Mandoverse with multiple stories

• The first story will be Daisy Ridley’s NEW JEDI ORDER

• It will build toward a culminating event that brings back old characters

It’s got to be the Maclunkey version, especially after that Kathleen Kennedy speech about the BFI print being super rare and whatever. Even the name has been revised again! The sequel trilogy era convention of losing the numbered episode is still in effect.

Edit: the online press thing claiming this is a “once in a generation event” is weird too. Like, is it the 1977 version? If it’s not why is this such a special event? If it is are they going to put it into a vault for a few decades and not stream it until a new generation grows up? What are they talking about?
