A fine tune from the Wurtz guy on YouTube.

I think you’re confusing this with Attack of the Clones.

I’d happily watch a movie where Jackie Chan avenges the death of his daughter who happened to be on the landing pad at the beginning of AOTC.

Thanks.

An explanation of how TLJ continues the theme of TFA in being a Star Wars movie about Star Wars.

I agree with him, and think this is the strongest theme running through the trilogy so far. If the ST is ‘about’ anything, it’s about this more than anything else. But that’s also where I have problems with the ST. Even the prequels were about the corruption of the Republic and the fall of Anakin Skywalker. If the ST is an extended exercise in navel-gazing, then it’s like a serpent eating its own tail. Here’s hoping Episode 9 proves me wrong.

The Foreigner (2017)

This is two movies. One is an engaging story of revenge through the eyes of Jackie Chan, the other is an overcomplicated and dull political ‘thriller’. Too bad that Chan is basically a side character who could be removed from the plot with no repercussions.

What a waste.

So when he says he came here to die, I assume he’s saying that even the afterlife sucks.

Who says Star Wars is uninteresting?

I’m with you too.

Quality.

Star Wars (1977)

Concluded I’ve been lying all these years I’ve been telling people The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite Star Wars movie. Peer pressure, I guess. I’m just so happy when I’m watching the one that started it all!

This one sees the truth!

Was there a reason that the updated X-wing approach shot wasn’t used?

Ugh, are you kidding me? That’d be my bad. I honestly can’t see the difference, even now, so even though I looked at everything, I did not notice anything there. I’m genuinely good with leaving it as is unless you feel like a substantial improvement is being missed out on.

Honestly it’s fine to leave it, I would just put the update in Starlight at some point anyway.

the biggest franchise of the last 100 years is probably McDonald’s.

Every post is so dense, there’s so much going on.

I’d have Leia die in the bridge explosion and remove her from the rest of the film. I’d remove Yoda. I’d have Luke burn the tree. Sensing Leia’s death would prompt Luke to confront Ren.

That’s dark, man.

Let’s say I have the SE DVDs, but not the Blu-Ray. Am I still eligible to watch Harmy’s DE? It’s an official release, but not the source.

Nope.

If they release a 4K version this year, will we all need to buy that in order to continue to have the DEs?

Yeah, the biggest problem with this film is lack of breathing room.

Either way the wiping the shoulder of dust doesn’t carry the tone.

Yes, first-world problems and major nerd nitpicking. Sue me.

Actually, based on this forum, the level of nitpicking was minor at most.

You mean the visible from everywhere superweapon superbeam that makes planets go boom? The worst bit of that doesn’t exist anymore thanks to Restructured, and for the rest…

Besides, Starkiller was a one-off dumb thing. Hyperdrives as weapons hurt my brain the same way the implications of the shield/lasgun interaction does in Dune.

I read it as more metaphorical, like the guilt would never leave.

Excellent!

BTW, for anyone who feels compelled after watching this edit, may I suggest leaving a review on Fanedit.org? There are no reviews for version 2 as of yet.

Kill it, if you have to. 😉
