Episode IV: A Ridiculous Hope
Time

•Ford-Solo does not have a clue about how to pilot the Falcon, or ships in general, so Chewbacca constantly helps him.  When they reach Alderaan's remains the heroes (and Chewbacca) think Han has taken the wrong route.

This could have potential. Maybe Han keeps ending up at the wrong planets?

-Make one of the characters have obsessive-compulsive disorder.  For example Luke: he opens and closes the Death Star's doors several times, fires his blaster a few more times after a battle, etc.

This could also be quite funny.

-When Luke asks Obi-Wan about his father, put some awkward silence, or maybe a few flashbacks of Anakin being... Anakin.

 I love the awkward silence idea. He could abruptly change the topic. Either that, or he adds "from a certain point of view" after each point in the story.

*cough* *cough* This scene, despite the censoring, might make the movie, uh...slightly less watchable with some members of my family. :P

Ah, well. I can't expect you to remove it for the benefit of one viewer.

However, some of those censor boxes could stand being extended along the bottom a little. ;) Perhaps you could add more and more black boxes as the scene progresses until you've blacked out the whole frame...

All the other videos that you've posted since are great, though. I love the one with Anakin and Padmé (the one with them together, not the song), and I love Obi-Wan's luck dragon. :)

Is the Hobbit prequel trilogy suffering the same problems as the Star Wars prequel Trilogy?

That's why I had a sinking feeling for a lot of part three: so much of the stuff I didn't like was integral to the story. Stuff like Bard's son acting as his bow, Thorin dying on ice away from the rest of the action after a drag out fight with Bolg Azog, etc. I was feeling pretty good after part one which had most of its junk fairly segregated from the good/important parts.

 How the heck did that work?

Episode VII: The Force Awakens - Discussion * <strong>SPOILER THREAD</strong> *
Time

I plan to avoid more and more spoilers as time goes on. I haven't bothered reading a lot of rumours both because it's possible some of them are accurate, and also because its probably a waste of time, being that 95% of them are probably complete nonsense, and really good ideas might just end up making me disappointed in what we end up with.

Ways to Do the Prequels with No Spoilers for the OT.
Time

Of course, that would mean that the episode numbers of the OT would have to be changed to I, II, and III, but it's an intriguing idea. The sequel trilogy could have intertwined a new sequel story with the story of the prequels, showing the latter in the form of flashbacks or something similar. That would allow for a presentation of just the main story of the PT and make it possible to keep a lot of the mystery of the Old Republic and the Jedi that the PT as we have it failed to do, but still spreading it over three episodes.

Doing the above homework reminded me of the line in Groundhog Day about studying 19th century French poetry, as I was doing just that. :P Until six months ago I never would have considered that I would possibly be stuck doing such a thing....

If I'd learned to read French much better than I did in school, I'd be going straight out and buying an original copy of 'The Incal' (And it's sequels/prequels).

It's a primary influence on Star Wars but I often feel the English translation that I own is suspect. I'd be ordering a lot of other un-translated Moebius stuff in fact... plus the new issue of Charlie Hebdo ;-)

 Presumably, however, the translation was the influence, not the original...or does George Lucas read French?

But yes, a lot can be lost in translation. I plan to never again read a translation from French to English now that I'm mostly able to read them as they are.

Time

I haven't been around for a few days thanks to French homework. I had to analyze a poem in French, and was supposed to create explanations for two others, memorize another, and prepare to read another expressively (though I'm marked on how well I read them all). I was given a week to prepare all that, but it's finally over (though I didn't finish everything I was supposed to do :P). And at the same time, I was given seven pages of Science homework.

All of the above was in French, of course, which increases the difficulty somewhat....

Seemingly it has led you to a missing king...

DE is now in a rotten mood because he no longer has a king either so he does something unexpected (well, maybe not quite so unexpected):

G k10 x k9

 I figured I'd lose the king anyway, so I thought it better to let it go and get another one instead of wasting time letting myself be chased around in circles.
