Right. Trying to change the numbers later at the studio stage is just like a band aid. Is that the word? A sticking plaster! Looking at the current statistics the wrong approach.
Anyway … Jon Favreau XD
Is he a good writer? I didn’t see Chef.
Unless this is part of the story it’s all just pre-release clickbait though.
Sometimes I feel like it doesn’t even matter. You have a whole generation of fans who grew up on the SEs and that’s all they know. They are lost.
But Fang Zei is certain it’s gonna happen!
The thing is that the only way to properly assess skills when it comes to filmmaking is prior work. And it’s harder for non-white males to get that kind of work.
But again it comes back to a cause being why they don’t have prior work, which reaches back to why the school didn’t tell everyone about what is possible in whatever the example career was. Certain groups are pushed to certain things early in life - realising you’re not getting a certain job when you’re 25 is too late.
The Invisible Enemy, which shows how vicious the Ewoks should have been.
Is there a version that isn’t jittery 360p?
Ewoks are jittery little things at any resolution.
In a true skills first meritocracy certain groups would still be outnumbered in certain countries just because of the make-up of the population. As things are today I think white women being seen less in positions like directors/writers etc. is more to do with the number of applicants, which in turn relates to the number of people that were motivated by education or parenting to become writers/directors.
A pretty interesting video about Solo, Rogue One (and more) and what the ‘directed by’ credit actually means.
Hah that is possibly amazing.
This the spoiler thread so, shoot.
I think I know who you mean though. It sounded like a joke, so it’s probably true.
We’ll get the Caboblanco 4K restoration before we get Star Wars
All movies are unnecessary.
Hard disagree.
Spice Girls The Movie was unnecessary.
The 4K restoration will arrive before we get Star Wars
Not really, they usually have a single root that slowly grows outwards. I just wondered what that might be.
Well… Yes. What I mean is why Criterion? Are they big SW fans or fans of bad puns? You could just do it with anything.

I gleefully clicked the trending tag only for it to be nothing more than a silly game where people made SW puns out of titles of Criterion-released movies (like “The Midichlorian Candidate” or “Solo: or the 120 Days of Jabba”).
Yeah I did this too. I don’t get it.
oh yes, great idea. just when people that don’t hate the PT start not being afraid of saying it here, why not go back to being intolerable? such a clever and funny move.
Yeah alright keep your shirt on.
I recently had an argument about the opening space battle of Episode 3.
Basically, everyone thought I was an idiot for preferring the Battle of Yavin to the videogame lightshow in episode 3 where you can’t even tell what is going on.
What was going on in that battle? There was like a gag with the buzz droids and something about clone troopers being blasted. But outside the rescue mission what was the battle in aid of? All I remember is that it looked like a big pink and orange fireworks show and the battle droid voices had been changed to make them more high pitched, which is just utterly stupid.
At the time it seemed to be fine, as was the case for the other prequels until you really thought about them hard enough. I still have the Art of EPIII here somewhere. I didn’t have that immediate angry knee jerk reaction. A lot of work went into these things. Shame it was mostly wasted.
The Lion King remake is “highly anticipated”?
It will probably make a lot of money, sure. I mean when do these big Disney names not? Admittedly his Jungle Book was actually pretty entertaining. But SW on TV… I just don’t care for any of it.
To be honest I thought it was such an obvious call back nobody would bite.
Am I in that group? I’m not really defending it, I’m just saying it’s the least of problems.
I’m not really saying anything, I just thought it was funny to bring up the phrase and watch everyone blow up.
I can’t believe there are so many CGI apologists.
Never said it did.
The topic at hand though. Maybe. Maybe it’s a thing! * wild speculation *
It’s nice but I don’t know if this sort of thing means anything any more.
