That is far and away the best fan film I’ve ever seen.
Are you saying it isn’t a lightsaber duel in search of a plot?
I gotta admit this aspect of it is pretty impressive. Was this story ever told somewhere in the old EU?
It is extremely interesting though, isn’t it? How some fans now would be begging for George to have a hand at the script, when that idea would be a joke 10 years ago.
Since ROTS the prequels have slowly mutated from just movies, into ideas of movies, to ideas of memes. Now the internet has absorbed the whole thing and slowly spews out Palpatine image macros that have no relevance to the actual reality of movies that are below average at best. Meanwhile George’s position as “genius creator” remains unchallenged in a way that many will believe his now Disney branded version of events. Interesting? Maybe. But not surprising. People are weird and fickle.
Budgets and opportunities to use them aren’t handed out to risky ventures… but it’s better if there is some risk allowed.
I don’t think that the “Ruin Johnson” crowd are that big to be honest, and looking at the Blu-ray sales I think it’s all blown way out of proportion. He was clearly brought on board as the Irvin Kershner creative type to create the “new ESB”, and while that kind of corporate think tank approach is questionable I enjoyed the results. They’ve given him more to do within the franchise because they must like the results, and people at LFL must like working with him. And he didn’t get fired or questioned before the final cut.
I cannot speak for everyone.
Uhuh. Yeah?
It’s a cool choice, they have a nice profile that adds to the lines in the composition.
Yeah I think we talked about that before, it’s really tinny for some reason.
The Last Jedi soundtrack isn’t as bombastic as the OT or PT, but it’s really atmospheric and moody.
Rose’s theme is solid and everything from The Battle of Crait to the end is amazing.
The overall number of standout themes was mediocre for TFA but there was some new material at least. TLJ barely changes up what came before. Rey’s theme is pretty good but the tunes for the Resistance, Kylo Ren and Rose are just lacklustre at best. In the original trilogy the variety in each film was incredible (especially ESB which is one of my favourite scores of all time) so I don’t get it. The standout themes in every film since TFA are always the OT music. At the Battle of Crait it’s so dull until TIE Fighter Attack kicks in and the whole sense of action in the scene is immediately boosted.
Does anyone else watch Boundary Break?
Anything from Christmas in the Stars puts a smile on my face
It’s… fine? There’s a lot of jarring moments that highlight just how disjointed the old and new is personally.
Is Tunisia even viable for film crews these days? As for this (vaguely rumoured) show I can’t imagine them spending a lot on location shooting of any kind. The Mandalorian is just being shot in California from what I’ve read.
What’s the TL;DR version
I hope we never see anything prequel or Special Edition related. But a Disney push to sell the whole thing as one big product wouldn’t be surprising after the nonsensical Maul scene in Solo.
Wish there was a way to do a poll on this site.
Do we think that’s:
A. Jakku
B. Tatooine
C. Jedha
D. Some new desert planet
I’d put money on not only it being Jakku, but someone will say something like “Why does everyone want to go back to Jakku” to wink at the audience.
I like that the Dark Jedi from DARK FORCES II: JEDI KNIGHT had some color variety.
I love those guys.
Maybe it will intentionally divisive so that nobody ever stops talking about it.
I just want that title drop. That’s all I need to feel whole again.
STAR WARS: A STAR WARS STORY
Vader was redeemed by his love for Luke… cheesy and unearned as that might be.
Kylo currently hates everyone? Really he needs to have a major new characterisation moment or realise he screwed up before falling into a hell of his own making. Something like that.
That’s not true. He cares truly for Rey. Just like how Anakin’s love for Luke brought him back, Ben’s love for Rey will also play a key factor to his redemption.
“You have no place in this story. You come from nothing. You’re nothing. But not to me.”
- Kylo Ren/Ben Solo (The Last Jedi)
Sounds like bad guy manipulation to me. He needs to fall down a mineshaft pronto. Hopefully in a haze of despair as he sees the faces of all his murder victims.

If a bunch of people online can stitch together a watchable version I’m sure a huge company like that can manage it. They probably just don’t want to.

It’s what I think is called a “living nightmare”

They’re talking about “the original”, but is it the original original or the SEs?
Probably the latter.
Why does the Death Star have all that red plumbing though
