Celebration 2017 Speculation
Time

The problem is that taking action doesn’t really show a mass gathering, it actually just highlights how small the number of people is in comparison to those who just don’t care or can’t tell the difference. A few people demanding the OUT versus all those who just go and buy whatever edition is on the shelves; that’s the bigger issue.

What is your Star Wars?
Time

Star Wars is a cheap copied cassette tape of the ESB score, taken from a CD found in a city library. A dozen polystyrene box liners used to make everything from the Echo Base to the Death Star. Empty cereal cartons that build anything from the Hound’s Tooth to new parts for used Kenner Y-Wings. Re-enacting the death of old Ben with bathrobes and cardboard tubes. By the time Dark Forces II came out it had solidified into an entire media library complete with posters and flight sticks. It was rekindled by Tazos and then again by Phantom Menace stickers, in a time when teenage brain patterns cancelled out rational critiques. It’s just a movie I guess.

How to turn the Phantom Menace into the Phenomenal Menace
Time

Well on a serious note the whole thing needs re-writing, to actually have continuity with the originals. Like a … prequel. So actually having Ben and Anakin as friends, having an Imperial rise to power that makes sense, and having a Clone Wars that isn’t nonsense. Sticking a band aid onto the script we have now doesn’t really help. Those “what if they were great” videos that came out a while back took a look at this kind thing.

I wish the music on Jabba’s yacht wasn’t “lost”. I really dig it. It matches the sounds the bar band in SW was playing, but it’s different enough to sound like a different band playing the same genre. Lapti Nek also works as “SW universe music” for me, even if it’s much more disco than the other “in world” music we hear.

Wait this wasn’t on the soundtrack they released? What the hell. All these versions online are Frankenstein attempts. Boo.
