RuleOfWho

I like A Vergence The Force for the prequels. It’s re-created with such a darker tone so that Palpatine’s inSideousness [lolol] and Anakin being his prey; fulfilling his destiny by returning to slavery. Even twenty years later Vader hasn’t overthrown the Emperor and thereby failed to followed the path of nearly every other Sith. This is on full display, and the tragedy of the story is central.

For the originals, I can’t stop watching Pulp Empire. It plays up everything like a mix between Kill Bill would do with the same space action concept. The resolution of the footage is also striking, and the colors of each piece on set are 🤩—especially the Vader/Luke duel on Vespin. Instead of moving back and forth between the different story arcs, it’s not timeline contingent so the scenes of each are extended which creates a lot more connection to everyone’s developments. It’s an hour and a half, but the final 20 minutes or so is an ultra-climactic redub of Luke/Vader, with all Tarantino-movie music behind it (whole movie’s this way) and feels just like the wonderment of SW I had as a kid. It’s really top notch, IMHO
