Daisy Ridley is probably the worst actress of her generation.

I was going to make a joke about getting someone with real acting chops like Emilia Clarke but then I remembered she is in a SW movie. There are many worse female leads out there so I don’t see what you mean, beyond the standard hyperbole.

Small details that took you <em><strong>FOREVER</strong></em> to notice in the <em>Star Wars</em> films

There’s the obvious of course: Gustav Holst - Mars

For anyone who has never looked into the use of temp score in any Star Wars this is very much worth its own watch as well.

There’s a channel called Sideways that talks about this kind of thing too, in how it annoys the academics in music to hear people want to be come film score composers.

If only the prequels had any real creativity in them. Instead it’s all embarrassing ideas that good editors had the sense to cut from the OOT, mixed with George’s idea of fanservice. You could argue it was at least the creator’s original vision, but then how much of the original vision is really his to begin with? After all George has always been more of an accountant than an artist. See? You can argue this either way just the same. Endless circular debates.
