Did you notice that each major character got the death they deserved?

This is to all the people who say R1 is just nostalgia-exploitation and “ayteeaytees”.

You mean they deserved to die? I don’t follow you. Characters that actually feel alive and then die in emotional and truly dramatic ways would have been better. To me they were stock archetypes who weren’t developed and then just got killed off to avoid sequel inconsistencies.

people here do not know jack shit about business…this is not even close to a legal monopoly. They wont own a majority share of the market because universal and warners along with others wont let them.

they will never buy DC comics or warner bros or universal or even the inevitable newcomers

Woah calm down there Bob

What was Jar Jar’s character though? That he stepped in the poopie? What was Qui-Gon’s? He was a cheater and made terrible choices? They’re written as flat, simplistic stereotypes without any further development. You could leave them both on the cutting room floor without impacting the plot. Fabulous what now? There’s only so much you can discuss without sounding like a joke account.

Anakin appears as himself as he should have been by that point in his life. His redemption carries through to the Force-afterlife. When he was redeemed and lay dying in Luke’s arms, he was Anakin again, and Vader was no more.

In way, Vader is the mask itself. Once it came off, he was human again. So Shaw’s face is integral to the scene and the ending.

Don’t bring back any characters except Anakin, Obi-Wan and Palpatine. Avoid other OT characters. Write a space adventure story. Forget all that crap about shooting digital. Hint at a romance between Anakin and another Jedi, but don’t show it to save the ESB reveal. Think up new and actual good ideas about the Jedi order and the Force instead of making a big mess. Spell it Kloa’ne Wars or something so we can have an interesting storyline.

Okay so this may be a fake memory type of thing, but has Moff Jerjerrod ever said ‘we shall redouble our efforts’ ? I sometimes still think about this in that opening scene.

Wrong thread http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/General-Star-Wars-Questions/id/57205

Looks like this thread, only with a lack of vision.

So, double or redouble?
