Something I’ve seen mocked up by AggeIw (https://aggeiw.deviantart.com/art/Give-me-a-Hand-216238791)

It also begs to reason why Vader would even scream over his mechanical arm getting severed. Maybe there were nerves connected during Vader’s suit construction or something?

3PO feels pain when he’s banged around, burned, ect. And the droids in the stupid torture scene are all screaming in pain. If they feel is somehow, I’m sure Vader does too.

It’s a confused issue for sure. Luke’s prosthetic hand has synthetic nerve endings, but this is presented in contrast to Vader’s robotic suit, which is ‘more machine than man’. If he does indeed have feeling in his robotic limbs, it would humanize him.

Not sure I can do much about that. Chopping up dialogue to make new dialogue is always dicey.

Ha.

There is one upshot of having 3 offspring of Han and Leia - Each one can channel a unique mix of the parents’ personalities. One may be the cocksure hothead, one would be the diplomat, and one could be very different to the others in some way. Since everyone would have imagined their own version of Han and Leia’s kids, this would give them what they imagined, and something more.

I don’t remember much about the EU. I read a bunch of the books as a kid, up until I got bored in the Yuuzhan Vong war. The big problem with most of them is that they failed to translate the deep themes of the movies into novel form. Star Wars, at least in the OT, wasn’t a comic book with villains of the week with splashy superpowers. Nor was it military science fiction, despite the name. The biggest missing element in the books was that they forgot (or were never aware) that Star Wars was an epic myth about growing up in rural America. Here we have a Midwestern farm-boy forever on the frontier, forever wanting to be elsewhere. It’s about him fulfilling the old American dream of becoming a self-made man, even if the dream threatens to become a nightmare. It is about navigating the desolate wasteland that is American folklore, a strange mix of alien cultures and Eastern Mysticism wrapped in a Western religious epistemology. Finally, it is about embracing the new folklore of pulpy romance and swashbuckling adventure in the movies, and making of it something more than its schlocky origins.

If you manage to make a story that taps into these themes, or similar themes of the 21st century, it won’t much matter if the story is sufficiently integrated with the EU.

The problem is that film used as a verb is quite efficient, compared to capture with a digital movie camera or even shoot in digital 4K.

And no one has coined a similar term that conveys the technology involved. We could steal a phrase from A Clockwork Orange and say we’re viddying it? 😉

I suppose video is sometimes used as as verb, but it still sounds weird.

Alright, they’ve all been posted as of page 5 or 6, so…

There’s still quite a few TFA quotes that haven’t been taken yet. Just a look at the script furnishes some functional examples:

No, that one! No. No. The one I’m pointing to! No. NO. NO.

Get off. Get off!

You know you can’t trust those little freaks! How long’ve we known each other?

Boys. You’re both gonna get what I promised! Have I ever not delivered for you before?

There was nothing we could’ve done. There was too much Vader in him.

Don’t be afraid. I feel it too.

If what you say about this girl is true, bring her to me.

It wasn’t all bad, was it?

I get any higher, they’ll see us!

Oh really, you’re cold?

Yeah, we gotta keep hitting it!

That girl knows her stuff.

You take the top. I’ll go down below.

I have fond memories of watching this as a child, but I’ve never seen the TV cut. I’d be interested in checking it out.

Please use the appropriate thread for reporting these things:

That’s really well done!

It would be interesting to see this without the childbirth at all, since it feels a bit unfitting with the grand, sweeping Leia theme. Other than that, brilliant.

This has probably been posted before, but I find it so hilarious that I cannot help posting it again.

“Little White Cuck Ball” and “Nebbish Beta Orbiter” are perfect lurker names.

I would hope not. Cuck has way too much baggage attached to it. It’s derogatory, offensive and borderline profanity in some corners of the net at this point. We’ve already had issues with offensive avatars in recent years.

Dare I even ask where that’s from?

No idea. I can remove it if it’s a problem, but the over-the-top derogatory labels are so plentiful that I am 70% certain that it’s a parody (and I meant that they’re amusingly dumb names for the Lurkers Name Suggestions Thread, not actual lurker names). I certainly took it as parody. There’s always the chance that it’s real, but that’s the internet.

Perhaps since the solar intake shot has been cut we can infer that it uses its primary weapon as the intake, so it must complete the task of draining the sun before it can fire. Also, if we eventually include scenes to suggest that the base will fire twice, it would be more clear that there is a reserve of solar energy.

A separate and probably unrealistic idea I once had included filming Fett crashing in the sand instead of into the sail barge. We would see him regaining consciousness just before the explosion of the sail barge, and then see him take off in Slave I after Luke and the Falcon part ways. He then shows up in the Battle of Endor, intending to take out the Falcon, but Lando outpilots him while his gunners ultimately take out Slave I. Again, I doubt it would work, but it was an interesting idea to me.

The problem is that he’s ineffective in both battles.

However, I think it’s a good idea to have him land in the sand, since he’s positioned towards Luke (and the sand) up until Luke’s infamous Force Kick where he’s seen flying at the barge at almost a right angle to Luke.

It would be a task of deleting Boba from that shot and instead having either a double or a CG Boba flying above the poor kicked guy towards the camera and out of frame to the left. While you’re at it, reposition Luke or the guy so that his kick actually lands.

JEDIT: Just had another idea. At the end of the infamous shot, Luke leaps down with his lightsaber in a downswing, but it doesn’t connect with anyone as usual. What if Boba flew headfirst into that downswing, and the next shot wasn’t him slamming into the barge but his head hitting the deck of the skiff? Then the next shot could still be his body (now headless) rolling down the slope into the pit.

It’s like poetry. Brutal, murderous poetry 😉

It should consist of Jabba reviewing different pizza places, climaxing with him reviewing Pizza Hut and saying that’s the best pizza that he’s ever ate.

Take it to the Holy **** Thread.

And why is his eye open? Your first reflex would be to shut them.

The eye-laser theory is looking better all the time.

Anybody say anything about Lando jumping to hyperspace before akbar mark,

Prepare to go into hyperspace in my mark.
Lando just says OK and pulls the lever, who made that guy a general

That’s a good point, and something that always bugged me. If we see some sort of light come on in the Falcon which indicates a sort of fleet-wide signaling system, it would make more sense.

Totally agreed, Ender, and thank you for sharing. I’m struggling with anxiety as well, but I realize every day that it’s hard to change your habits alone. It takes the willpower to start the change, but it also requires the support of others to make it last.

I don’t see teal in the regrades at all.

That reminds me - shouldn’t this thread be in the Fanedits Of Other Films section?

A sobering read.

The meme is already correct by virtue of being a meme. Does anyone care about the correct pic?

WYSHS

I think he meant that Disney keeps extending copyright duration so that their old titles don’t fall into the public domain.

For V2, the light side of Starkiller Base is darkened and a new Hosnian Destruction sequence is implemented using the full track from the score. SirRidley is finalizing(😉) the Finalizer scene where Finn says ‘They’ve found us!’, as well as re-editing that scene to flow better. In addition, there are a whole bunch of new changes such as R2 looking for the map only after BB8’s suggestion, a stabilized final shot, completely reconstructed sound for the destruction of Starkiller Base, and the addition of a subplot involving Leia and the Republic. Most of these changes are available to view in the Starlight Project, a link to which is available in my signature.

By the way, here’s the Leia Deleted Scene with the aforementioned audio issue fixed:

Well, the word is that he handed a pretty solid victory to the Democrats, in that when the debt ceiling comes back up again in December, the Dems will have a lot more leverage to get things that they want passed.

https://newrepublic.com/article/144726/trump-screwed-republicans-now-what

Faced with the perennial debt ceiling problem, Trump shocked Washington on Wednesday by agreeing with Schumer, the Democratic leader in the Senate, and Pelosi, his counterpart in the House, to fund the government and raise the debt limit for three months while also providing aid for Hurricane Harvey victims. To call this a “deal” would be generous, as Trump gave Democrats exactly what they had sought. The agreement keeps the debt ceiling issue alive ahead of next year’s midterm elections—giving Republicans ample time to shoot themselves in the foot with infighting over government spending—and provides Democrats with leverage in future negotiations on key issues like granting legal status for DREAMers.

Perhaps Trump is realizing that the Democrats, despite being a minority party, can actually agree on things and may have a better chance of forming a coalition with moderate Republicans than trying to appease the insane wing of the House.

Yes, Brick is excellent. I’ve been trying to find it somewhere to show the uninitiated.
