I had ROTJ for Gameboy too. It was tough if I recall, but I have a feeling I finished it back in the day, if not a distinct memory of what the ending was…
Oh sure. Die Another Day is a pretty apt comparison - lazy producers, complacent film makers, reliance on brand awareness instead of creativity. It’s embarrassing and boring but whatever. But as the thread title suggests - is it that bad? Yeah, it’s that bad.
It could go either way. Avatar fans are all gonna be 10 years older and have probably moved on, 3D hype is long dead… but at the same time it will feel like something new to some audiences by the time all the other blockbuster franchises outstay their welcome.
But on topic the “it’s definitely going to be 2020” feels like wishful thinking at this stage.
See, I think that the prequels have a couple of problems.
A couple?
I count exactly 3 problems
Ewoks are not a problem in themselves. Pacing and storytelling are the issue.
Unless they rewrite the entire script and then dub every actor to match it I don’t see how a few cuts here and there would really help. The fundamentals are broken, so just leaving a few more scenes on the cutting room floor isn’t exactly going to make them work.
Okay real talk…
Where’s Lando? That better be his casino. Wedge and Prune Face can be hanging out too.
Yikes.
Your schtick?
My schtick.
I beat Super Star Wars today. The last part is a Mode 7 nightmare. The other two though, way too unforgiving.
Interestingly it’s appeared in various other places, like videogames from the acceptable Rogue Squardon titles (I forget if the third included it outside co-op) to the almost unplayable Rebel Assault. On film I think the nonsensical ending to ROTJ SE is the only example. They still producd a whole bunch of toys anyway of course.
Some of the bootlegs out there are amazing. I recommend the episodes of Ashens which feature them.
Odd they just didn’t get Morrison back again. I hope he does his best Jason Wingreen.
He was in Voyager as well apparently. He should be reintroduced into the new Star Wars lore somehow, I mean why not a Dark Forces series.
Remember when Darth wasn’t a title and Dark Jedis did whatever they felt like for saber color? Hm. I was actually looking at the old FMVs about a week ago. The actor who plays Jerec is the British agent that tries to drug 007 in the Timothy Dalton movie License To Kill.
The People vs George Lucas
So.
I was randomly thinking about how back in the day, Lucasarts would produce a lot of videogames that were essentially spinoffs or reworkings of the movies - but there were always a lot of direct tie-ins from Super Star Wars to The Clone Wars movie game. The former is now defunct of course and they took 1313 with them, but where are all the other random titles outside Lego and Battlefront? Factor 5 is also dead too I guess. But I’d probably play a random action title just called The Force Awakens.
Where’s my generic TFA arcade space shooter or third person action adventure with combo force powers and bad voice acting?
They’d be more like to release a set that includes all the original cuts including the PT theatricals, since they can sell it as a “SAGA”. That or they do nothing. I’m betting on nothing.
Eh.

It all depends on the script and whether JJ has any real powers of scrutiny when working on the story with the other writers. Star Trek Into Darkness is utter trash, and he gave a lot of odd things a pass in ST09 and TFA. The possibility remains that Johnson will produce the only above average entry in this trilogy.
I expect the latter. A Martha moment to get the Luke/Leia style twist in there perhaps.
And he brought Chris Terrio with him… hahahaha
Dare I even ask where that’s from?
It’s from a much bigger, much more NSFW, and far more insane image accusing Star Wars of being some kind of mixed race relationship propaganda. That whole TFA boycott thing.
