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.

suspiciouscoffee said:

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.

The Story of Turkish Star Wars

Han Solo figures through the years

Wow.

Emilia Clarke is just awful.

If we chalk up ESB Yoda to being wrong along with everything else in the PT

Where exactly does ESB match the prequels at all?

I watched this video from Wisecrack the other day by Jared Bauer regarding “what went wrong” with The Last Jedi. After Hal posted it on his TLJ Edit thread I decided to comment on it. I felt like I should post it here instead because I didn’t want to start a discussion not directly related to his edit on that thread. Hope you guys don’t mind.

I saw that video a few days ago. It makes a few good points that go beyond the clickbait title, but I think they ignore a few things. The third act doesn’t “undo” the message of the first two. It just re-evaluates it. Good and evil are necessary in the end, since grey areas lead to DJ being a scumbag. Killing the past is bad despite Luke’s best intentions, since learning is always needed. Kylo is wrong, because he can’t understand this. Yes the eternal conflict will go on forever, but making everyone a grey morally baseless character doesn’t work in a story where wars are inevitable. The Jedi Order failed not because it was “too good” but because it was dumb and blind.

Anakin’s most evil deed was building a robot to help his mom, a robot that can barely move its arms.

I just don’t remember it being that complicated. I guess I was more of a Galaxian fan.

My headcanon has long been that the slaughter was just a dream sequence that George accidentally edited as if it really happened. This makes sense of Padme treating it exactly as she would a bad dream.

Nah it’s George thinking… hmm what would a bad person do? And then child killing becomes his only character trait besides whining all the time.

Your characterization of his thought process is…kind of outrageous

If you’re joking imagine a Han Solo laughing gif here.

If you’re not joking also imagine I posted one.

Wasn’t the Atari VCS game just an endless series of walkers though?

For the second movie of a supposed nine-movie continuous narrative, TESB sure has a lot of reveals:

1. The character of Yoda
2. Lando
3. The Emperor (via-hologram)
4. Vader “I am your father”
5. “No, there is another”

This … is a ROTJ thread? I feel like I missed something.
