Movies need more memorable soundtracks.
And some movies need more memorable movies.
Memorable soundtrack in need of more memorable movie: Tron Legacy
Probably my favorite soundtrack to listen to.
Now this looks like a nice and friendly thread, what’s the… Oh!

Amazingly cute. Cats should raise all sorts of animals. For science and millions of views.
Frink will… love this?

They’re cats. Would recommend.
There were a ton of possibilities in coming up with completely new stories, characters, and visuals that did not involve recycling large parts the OT, while still incorporating Star Wars tropes like the Force, lightsabers, space battles, and what not. However, the current creators chose to take the save route, and rather than take the franchise in a new direction narratively and visually, gave us a loosely based remake of the OT, and worst of all, they chose to diminish the accomplishments of the classic characters to achieve this end. That is what makes the ST far less original than any of the previous films made by Lucas.
Well said. I agree that it’s a safe route, agree that it’s less original than Lucas’ films (but more enjoyable than the prequels), disagree that they diminish the OT. I’m not bothered by this safe route, in fact when I see something called “Star Wars #7” I want more of what came before, I expect something traditional.
I think the spinoffs are a good place for experimentation and we’ll be getting new stories from Rian Johnson and others as well. Perhaps the sequel trilogy could have been more different like the prequels or something in between but I’m happy with what we’ve gotten.
Well, I personally feel, if the main focus of many discussions is, whether Luke was in or out of character in TLJ, the movie is spending too much time looking in the rear view mirror, rather than setting a course. It feels like the ST is reinventing the wheel, regressing the story to Empire vs rebels, and replacing Luke with Rey, as the future of the Jedi, and Ben Solo as the fallen Jedi student. It’s entertaining, and overall pretty well executed, but the ST could have been spent exploring new territory, expanding the narrative. I hope we’ll finally get a truly new and original story in RJ’s trilogy, or the films developed by Benioff and Weiss.
I would say the ST is simultaneously stuck in the past and expanding the narrative. In the end it’s up to Episode IX to show us what the ST lead to, at this point 7-8 feel like a setup since they both took place in such a short period of time.
And I’m sure there are more original films ahead, with or without Ep IX.

Cat acts like dog

Not sure what he will make of this:
Cat has deep voice

It’s pointless to the overall plot.
I don’t know if I would say that something is pointless just because it doesn’t affect the outcome of the plot. It did affect the outcome of the plot in this case, but even if it didn’t it wouldn’t be pointless.
You can compare it to the claim that Indiana Jones doesn’t affect the plot of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Even if he doesn’t, he’s not pointless.
You can compare it to almost any episode of a sitcom like The Simpsons where each episode ends with everything back to status quo, which means you can skip any episode and you won’t know that you missed anyhing. Still, the episodes aren’t pointless.
You can say that you didn’t like it, that’s fine, but that doesn’t make it pointless either.
I disagree. If you’re invested in the characters, yes then it’s not pointless. Most people were so invested in the character of Indiana Jones, they didn’t even notice he didn’t affect the plot. In this case I wasn’t invested in Rose’s and Finn’s mission, and since it didn’t really affect the plot other than to stop Finn from needlessly sacrificing himself (something that Rose didn’t know, meaning she would have doomed everyone, despite her save what you love speech), I watched a 30 min segment that ultimately didn’t really pay off for me, therefore it was a waste of time, and thus a pointless sequence.
I guess I was trying to say that it wasn’t pointless from a story telling perspective, but if it was pointless from your perspective then I guess there’s nothing I can do about that, fine.

So, you haven’t watched anything past the ninth season.
Pretty much. I would say that the newer episodes that do change the status quo are the pointless ones. Ironic.
Why can’t I stop watching Lenny?
Is that a problem?

Someone on reddit got the novelization early and here are some tidbits I found interesting. Spoilers.
Very interesting, thanks. Does the novelization give any insight into the deleted scenes?
I don’t understand the explanation for not making Yoda more ghostly. That was an aspect that took away from the scene for me (and the stick bop).
Seems like it was mostly an aesthetic/emotional choice, then. It does tie in to his more physical powers though. But I still think it would have been nicer if he looked more ghostly.
You’ve lost me, but never mind, carry on in your mysterious ways.

Sad to see that Ben Burtt is missing but it’s a very nice look at the sound department anyway.

I love seeing these kinds of things, very nice.
sorry for any inconveniences, i didn’t take it in a mean way whatsoever. i guess star wars is a delicate topic for all of us 😃
We need more Collipso’s in this world.
I for one welcome our new green robot overlords.
I feel like the biggest issue is the skin color is too dark, which shouldn’t be terribly hard to fix (seems like you’ve already adjusted it, though I wonder if you could go further). His eyes also seem to be a little too squinty, don’t know if that’s adjustable though.
Yeah, the eyes and skin could use some work. I’ll see what’s possible when I have the full movie to work on.
So, as one point in my “fix list” I have “fix Yoda’s face”. I think most of us agree that it was great to see the little puppet, but I’ve seen many say that there was something off about his look, which I agree with. I think it’s mostly due to the mouth which looks a bit different. So for my edit I’ll try to overlay and animate the correct Yoda mouth. Here’s a simple test image (original left, fixed right):
I’ve decided to take Solo off my anti-watchlist.
Who cares? It’s just a bulk cruiser.
Do you come with the bulk cruiser?
Do you guys see fat/obese people often?
No. I don’t see people often.
But when I do, they’re sometimes fat. But usually not.
I just want a commentary on the first release this time. Is that a thing they’ve said yet?
Rian Johnson commentary confirmed!

I have the 3D Collector’s Edition of TFA so I’ll have to wait for that version of TLJ. I don’t want to wait several months but I also don’t want to buy the movie twice, so…
This all sounds great though, excited to see all the deleted scenes (no timecode, please) and special features.
