So, now that we have the film in 4K, I very much hope the deepfake that fixes Leia will be redone.

I just watched the latest iteration. The mouth is still a bit wonky, but MAN does it look amazing.

It’s great, isn’t it?
I actually think the animation looks great. I LOVE that they dropped the weird smile at the end for something that looks much more like a performance by Carrie Fisher.

Without the distractingly bad Leia I noticed how Captain Antilles has the wrong voice.

Oh they have Joh. They have copyright deposits of the ‘97 SEs too. I didn’t spend much time with them but they were all very clearly brand new prints sent directly to the LOC after being struck. Pristine condition.

Horrifying.

I don’t hate them, but the pacing of their scenes kills the movie for a long stretch. It should have been tightened up, and they should be more vicious and tribal.

I think he’s a good choice for someone that would have been friends with Alec Guinness. Anything after 1983 doesn’t really matter. The only real mistake is that one shot in ESB he looks far more… fleshy?

There are many films I’ve grown to appreciate over time. But not with Star Wars, they either hold up or get worse the more I watch them until I have to stop.

Anything ‘could’ return. It’s easy to be vague, that’s part of talking to the press.

Oh the Obi-wan game… https://youtu.be/PvryRCf0-eE?t=914

They’ve given out the directing job to a few people over time. Time will tell if Johnson or even Waititi actually do anything.

Merch for something that they deny exists? Yeah I suppose that’s par for the course…

If he’s uncredited in the first place they can probably erase anything. It’s not on brand to say that originally it wasn’t Morrison.

Low contrast to match the newer spinoff movies.

^ Poor Jason Wingreen… not even a mention of him in the new ‘Under The Helmet: The Legacy of Boba Fett’ doc on Disney+.

Ugh. This sucks, and shows what they think about the OOT.

I’ll be interested to see if 3D is still a thing by that point in time.

Yeah he’s still going, he released this today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY4mNIPmNnw

Is it me or have certain SW related channels got squashed by the algorithm and have next to no views? Jamie Stangroom has the same problem, but that could be because he tried to rebrand everything and add other types of content too often.

A better movie could’ve done some cool stuff

Correct.

Luke is very Vader like when he heads into Jabba’s but that is deliberate. You see him wearing all black. He force chokes a Gamorrean guard. He is there to get revenge on Jabba for his treatment of Han Solo and to free his friend. He at first tried to bargain with Jabba but Luke was prepared to carry out murder if necessary.

Well that’s the whole point, you’re not sure if he will turn in the finale. It’s a character moment, like in a real movie.

Crazy thing is I don’t even think George watches these as much as we’d like to think he does. I think it’s just simply a case of he wants them “finished” just for the sake of them being “finished”.

Or… he’s just saying that to justify this stuff.

Obi-Wan wearing the same clothes for like 60 years is hilarious. But yes, many of us have had this gripe. Luke’s ROTJ outfit would have been the logical choice. They even acknowledge the ridiculous lack of practically in the prequels when the robes get thrown on the floor every time.

Vader was only trying to get the plans that were stolen. All these people were in his way shooting at him, it’s either sit there and let the firing squad kill him, or mow them down with a lightsaber. I myself, in that situation would have done the same thing.

Because if he loses the plans, he has to face the Emperor and the consequences for failing.

Darth Vader’s a fictional character though, justifying a story decision with in-universe facts doesn’t work. The writers could have just not had that be the case.

Imagine if a WW2 movie, which people like to reference to RO, ended with a scene in which a Gestapo agent slaughtered a bunch of resistance fighters. And then people cheered.

Palpatine’s theme plays in TLJ. It would have been easy to dovetail a third movie into what came before, in all kinds of ways. But since the writing of TROS is so atrocious the results speak for themselves.

recontextualizing the world, characters, or events of the original film in a way that makes them better in hindsight

They should make a new SW themed racing game that takes itself seriously. As for this? I don’t know, is it a real remake or a new game on top of the original bones?

Infernal Affairs II
Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me

Better Call Saul

These were referenced above–now, I haven’t really watched much of them, but are people saying them because they are good PREQUELS or because they’re just good QUALITY? What did they change about the perception of the original story?

I chose these specifically, and didn’t pick Temple of Doom or The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly for example.

Prequels barely work in general.

Can people really come up with any prequels outside of SW that enhance the original?

Infernal Affairs II
Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me

It seems even stranger in hindsight that in ESB the Rebel base is so small. Vader had to scour the galaxy for them but they had all these Mon Calamari allies from such an early date? I always presumed the largest group they had was in ROTJ.
