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.
Looks like they erased his lower torso and some parts of his legs to fit him on the poster. Jeez.
Sad, confused, angry. No reason it can’t be all of them.
But not conflicted and amazed.
It’s probably a bad idea to look at the further results.
Eugh… these gifs. I can almost hear the 16-bit sounds. Plus they are clearly riding in that floating machine Dr Robotnik used.
Maybe you haven’t been keeping up with current events.
He looked vaguely sad, and vaguely confused. Whatever the script was originally it’s not on the screen. Sorry to rain on your parade.
These things were also not in the movie.
That word was not in ROTJ.
The TFA marketing overdrive that kept going on about practical effects was actually an attempt to annoy people that loved all the gorgeous prequel vistas.
Yeah, but they’re still all distorted badly. I’m surprised nobody has remade them from scratch.

I applaud Johnson’s decision to do away with TFA’s stupid set-up and just trust his instincts doing what he felt was right. I’d like to know if anyone here
Sure. Snoke was a dead nobody and Rey was also nobody and I loved that stuff.
I hate the exhaust port complaint. People say that the Empire should’ve just covered it up, but that defeats the purpose of an exhaust port! It’s established that the port is tiny and apparently only someone with extreme propensity for the force can even hit it. Also, the port wasn’t what destroyed the Death Star. It was a chain reaction explosion caused by a torpedo making it all the way down the port and into the center of the space station. It isn’t like the exhaust port was a self-destruct button.
The funny thing is that when Lucasfilm addresses this complain, they add even more improbable and implausible stuff on top of the original plausible but improbable stuff.
Agreed. The dumb ideas added in RO are the problem, not the original plans that needed to be researched to find the weakness in 1977.
What is the problem with the RO explanation?
This is not how you do this thread right hahaha.
Ohhhhhh.
But for real, it was a top secret plan they needed to steal, in order to research a strategy. The one weakness, something the villains overlooked because they were arrogant (they didn’t consider a small fighter attack to be a threat). Now it’s because some guy put the flaw in there all along… eugh.
Chilling with Lobot probably. Both annoyed that Nien Nunb didn’t want to hang out.

That Darth one isn’t one I’ve ever been able to get worked up about either way, but I guess I understand the complaint.
It’s a small complaint, yes. But it’s one step away from making everyone who’s bad wield a red lightsaber and know how to use Force Lightning™. A further step into lunacy and you get names like Grievous and Tyrannous, and slowly it all starts to look like ideas from a 9 year old’s crayon drawing.
Kylo needs to get everything he ever wanted before losing his mind through guilt. A nice breakdown, no redemption.
That Darth is a title, not a name. I mean, why the hell not? First of all, it’s a solid portmanteau (“Dark Lord of the Sith”). Second of all, maybe this is just me, but I think Darth is kind of a funny name, but works fine as a title. Also, despite what people say, there is nothing in the OT that would suggest this shouldn’t be the case.
Disagree. At least in terms of how Obi-wan refers to him which suggests he was called Darth before he turned to evil and that was his first name. Before 1999 it didn’t show up as a title for any other EU characters. It just shows the total lack of imagination and writing skills George had when he scribbled out TPM.
There’s a lot of garbage whether it was built by hand and composited later or not. Execution is everything. The one thing that always confused me was this effect
Didn’t ILM pioneer morphing back in 1990 or maybe earlier? Why is it nearly just as bad in the third movie …in a major scene?
C-3PO spouting hacky zingers in the droid factory and subsequent battle in AOTC. Nothing else even comes close.
Oh man I had actually forgotten this part. But yeah TLJ ruined everything
It’s called The Good Side in ROTJ.
Wait what? I have to upgrade to do 3rd party hosting? Guess that’s the end of photobucket for me.
Oh yeah it’s been dead a few months. Imgur or bust.
The Japan one actually has reasonable composition, the UK just draws the eye to that giant orange glow in the left corner for no reason.
The first SNES game is the most playable but it’s still full of terrible difficulty curves and cheap deaths.
I think ROTS is probably the worst because it’s trying sooo hard to be the bridge into the OT. I don’t really consider any of the PT better or worse that each in general film terms, they all just merge together. But when you’re genuinely supposed to see characters as the same people from a few decades later in the OT the third one implodes the most.
