Interview with ROTJ puppeteer Tim Rose

But he looked more like his Force Phantom self in the TLJ flashbacks than he does here. Unless he’s interacting or guiding Rey through visions similar to what she had involuntarily in TFA? The possible wrinkle here is everyone percieves Luke as they last saw him?

Is this just another Jedi Temple vision though since R2 is still there

Truly chilling

So you’re saying that they were good enough for big screen projection but not for current home media standards? I don’t get the mechanics of this. Not that I would care to own them… just curious.

So are the films coming out from 2022 onwards with the Game of Thrones writers? People seem to be upset about them, but I don’t have any knowledge of the series at all. The release dates and the actual movies on the current schedule is so vague.

Edit: Right so it is theirs. Six movies with no information… I don’t know how many of them will actually become reality.

I disagree. I think the PT greatly expanded the universe and the lore, and while there are obvious issues in the execution, conceptually the PT is pretty strong, and imaginative. Lucas’ concepts combined with better dialogue and a good director would have resulted in some very good films, I believe, whereas I believe the ST thusfar is much more flawed on a conceptual level, whilst being pretty unimaginative, driven largely by nostalgia, but is able to translate what little there is better to the screen.

Eh. It’s all pretty dumb to be honest, the way Yoda teaches in a tiny room of kids, the midichlorians, the rule of two, the idea one Sith can cloud the minds of an entire Jedi council. For all the problems in TLJ it at least roots the idea of the force in ESB territory. On topic I worry how EpIX will try and connect the to disparate eras. Probably in a way that’s embarrassing.

SilverWook said:

Which begs the question of how a Jedi master teaches a Padawan to do it. Just send them into a sleazy bar and make a drug dealer rethink their life? Also, it’s weird it’s actually called a mind trick, given that cynics like Han dismissed the Force as simple tricks and nonsense.

From what we see it’s just figured out and self taught. Odd that Han doesn’t believe in it yet Jabba openly talks about the old days, but I guess that’s just sloppy ROTJ script writing.

RogueLeader said:

Legit question, what do you need to know to be able to do a mindtrick?

Since it was never taught to anyone, nothing. Beyond the knowledge that such a trick exists.

DrDre said:

Which is fine, I do to at a surface level of popcorn entertainment, but when I dig a little deeper, I get more out of the PT.

Really? I’d say they’re equally hollow except without being entertaining.

The director could be promising… but Spectre was godawful. I would have just admitted defeated and got Martin Campbell back to save them again. Also they need to get David Arnold back.

ChainsawAsh said:

I’m actually pretty sure the “what the fans want” TFA quote is a pull from a longer quote where he specifically says they decided to go in a retro direction that he didn’t want to do, but I might be conflating two different quotes there, I can’t remember.

I think it’s called damning with faint praise

Edit: okay I only saw Silverwook’s post after this.

I don’t get it. SW is full of “anachronistic” dialogue. Especially anything Han has to say when he calls Leia “sister” in a very 70s way and references things like crop dusting.

SilverWook said:

I wonder why they ditched the feather on her head? Too hard to do in CGI in 1997?

The dumbest part is that it’s visible in frame before the song starts. They spent money on a CGI nightmare and still made a continuity error. Weird tusks are still gone in the animated short though.

Why would LF give that footage to CNN unless… UNLESS! ? ! ? !

Could it be?! Could they … be transferring the GOUT… to a Blu-ray set …as a bonus feature…

go to 30 sec mark. Is that OUT footage?

Definitely YES! Is it the GOUT Version?

Seems to be, yeah. Hrm.

Sy Snootles OOT design too.

The sound effect very end?

No clue! A video I saw said it was like Tony Stark building the Iron Man, but I don’t know what that would imply.

The Uninvited, a movie about a mutant cat living inside a normal cat is on Blu-ray.

Avengers Endgame. A worthy epic finale to a decade of great superhero movies. Five out of five Rocket Raccoons.

Can anybody can tell me what small bit I missed at the end because my bladder was imploding?

If you saw the uh… “bench scene” then you saw everything.

No, what I missed was most of the…

Thor talking with one of his Asgardian pals on a beach? I got back just as Cap wasn’t coming back from his time jaunt.

The movie could really have used an intermission. I didn’t even buy a soda!

Oh right,

Thor passed the leader mantle to Valkyrie and decided to just be himself. Then he took off with Quill for new adventures. He may or may not still be an overweight alcoholic.

What are some films someone could recommend watching for someone like me who enjoyed these films?

1. Shin Godzilla (2016)
2. Daughters of Darkness (1971)
3. Possession (1981)
4. Altered States (1980)
5. Black Moon (1975)

Godzilla (1954 not 1956)
The Brood (1979)
The Blood on Satan’s Claw (1971)
Berberian Sound Studio (2012)
A Scanner Darkly (2006)

This is a lot of stuff. It should be posted somewhere more prominently, or even turned into a video series.

Our protest might turn into results.

I don’t think anything sprung from a forum like this equals the millions of sales they get from doing nothing.

Maybe we should stage a protest in front of Lucasfilm.

I second this
