Well that or Obi-Wan http://omegaunderground.com/2017/04/21/exclusive-mr-robot-creator-sam-esmail-might-pen-star-wars-anthology-script/
Having to sit through the prequels after the cliffhanger in Empire… now that’s something you need hospital drugs for.
The other one is probably the Boba Fett movie right?
I do think people don’t give the prequels enough credit. They’ve given me a lot of material to work with in writing academic papers for my film major, and while the crux of film studies and theory is over-scrutinization and analysis of what is essentially entertainment, there is a lot of stuff in the prequels that I’ve found has been significant and/or subversive to film form, production, and storytelling. Not in the context of Star Wars for original trilogy fanboys ofc, just in the context of film history. Obviously only in the last 20 years, and much quieter than the original’s immediate cultural phenomenon status.
Well it may be subversive to avoid giving your actors direction, or sets, or making concept art and models before the script is finished… I don’t see it myself. Entertainment doesn’t have to be massively intellectual, but it’s not always an exercise in blowing millions on a slapped together project; most cultural touchstones are a bit more meaningful and well planned. The cultural status of the PT is questionable at best. People know Jabba the Hutt, Princess Leia, Lando, Chewbacca. There isn’t anything to be said about Mace Windu, The Trade Federation or Little Ani…
Overall I’d like to see more new stories with Anthologies instead of exploring the backstory of a bunch of OT characters. There’s a lot of risk of de-mystifying characters in a bad way (See PT for a zillion examples of this)
Yep.
New stuff please Disney.
In a few years there will essentially be two prequel trilogies. Not a pleasing thought.
Beyond the apparently endless debate about resolution and film formats, this thread is basically in hibernation again right now. There has yet to be any real release details for any kind of restoration at all beyond the ‘yeah but I know a guy’ type of comments.
The only ones that make sense are where every line is dubbed. Which is why I can only watch the Auralnauts version.
The Empire Strikes Back (10/10)
Star Wars (10/10)
Return of the Jedi (8.5/10)
The Force Awakens (8/10)
Rogue One (6.5/10)
The Phantom Menace (2/10)
Revenge of the Sith (1.5/10)
Attack of the Clones (1/10)
Oh now your talking my language
Can’t find this if it’s already been posted. I thought this was interesting and I caught most if not all of the cues and callbacks he discusses.
Oh yeah we talked about that one. Somebody was like fuck that guy. And I was like eh maybe.
As for the whole repeat viewing and score listening sessions, I just don’t feel it. Star Wars is a perfect film. Or movie if you’re so inclined. But this is just sort of vaguely entertaining but mostly slapped together and not quite there as an average movie for me. It doesn’t have any Binary Sunset moments or even any Cantina Band type sequences.
???
Well then it’s time to put that to the test and throw the 6 year olds in the deep end 😛
Only you know your kids, you can’t really take advise on the internet about it. Some will see all the gruesome moments and really get into it, and their love of movie violence will flourish there. Others will shrink away from it and never be horror movie fans etc. Your call.
Darth Vader was supposed to be his first and last name right?
I should have expected to find you holding Vader’s leash
I don’t think these mildly perturbed images are working
LOL.
Okay so back to reality, I find it worrying that the headline says “triumphant return”. Meaning they think it ever returned. This with SE scenes being in the latest EA moneyspinner signals two instances where they have ignored there is such a new version, and would rather just forget the OOT.
I wonder how the article itself will describe the 1997 re-release…
No hate, just things that bugged me the first time around I’ve realized actually are rather large problems that I can’t quite ignore on repeat viewings.
The things that bugged more were harder to overlook a second time
I don’t think anyone here is as old or senile as George to be making offhand comments about slavery relating to a movie franchise
I genuinely wanted this to be the case for me.
From what I can tell it’s all just one big publicity machine. It’s hilarious how much he complained last year, and now he’s back.
How can we get people talking? Oh let’s drop George’s plot ideas, publicly, then have him bad mouth us, publicly. But what now? Let’s get him back for a mutual ego boost to get people talking even more! He’s an embarrassment, but we promised people surprises and have nothing up our sleeves, I guess we gotta roll him out. What else is he doing, small personal movies? Hahahahaha sure.

The CinemaSins people will hopefully be doing their take on Rogue One soon 😃
Eww
I like to think that the dialogue in the trailer is probably so out of context that it’s meaningless as this stage. If it even makes it to the final cut.
Ugh that Ronto scene.
Hah they didn’t pay all that money for it just to be passive
