Hi

Wow! I never knew that the prequel trilogy had an overreliance on underdeveloped CGI technology, or that it had questionable VFX shots. Good thread!

When Kylo Ren smashes his mask in The Last Jedi, replace his line “Prepare my ship” with “Alert my Star Destroyer to prepare for my arrival”

Not yet…

This thread loses much of its point when it’s just shamelessly biased.

This thread is rife with this stuff lol

All three sequel trilogy movies definitely use the same recording. This video has TFA’s audio playing in the left ear, TLJ and then TROS’s audio in the right ear, if you have headphones. I thought TROS might have used a different recording but this is definitely the same one.

Actually, I’m totally wrong and you can hear a drumroll right at the beginning of TRoS that isn’t in TFA/TLJ. Not that this is super important. Also, here is a video of Rian Johnson recording John Williams at work during the production of The Last Jedi… where you can hear a version they recorded but ultimately did not use for TLJ.

Now, give us a Anakin and Obi-Wan Clone Wars live-action series with Andor’s writers (I haven’t even seen Clone Wars, but I love the concept) - and let’s delve into Asajj, Dooku (recast or deepfake), young Ahsoka (i have no interest for “current Ahsoka”, the performance and characters are sleep inducing) and some of the clones and Republic Troopers. I know, i know: “it’s all there in the animated series”. I don’t care! It’s live action for me, babe.

We also need a full-scale 5-minute recreation of Anakin’s slaughter on the Tuskens as a recurring nightmare he’s trying to suppress. I always hated how it only gets 4 seconds in AotC, but we’re supposed to feel the full extent of it.

“But Anjohan, that’s kind of brutal for a kid’s show!”

• Anakin is burned to a crisp in RotS, kids scroll through creepy videos on tiktok from the age of 8, the world has gone mad and I want me some more psychological Star Wars. This is a no biggie.

Are you trolling

Star Wars was a film from the late 1970s.

I agree

Could be

The Ghorman plot line is totally leading into the Ghorman massacre from Rebels, where Mon Mothma will join up with all of Dave Filoni’s OCs… How will we feel if we have to see them next week?

And don’t get me started on the episode wasted on watching the young couple Baroque dancing for 20 minutes.

It was in fact 82 seconds

Make Cassian fat and use AI to add lines supporting an implied character arc where he loses weight. For the Rebellion.

Here’s a mockup

You could have ignored their posts, but didn’t. Maybe you can find some understanding for their perspective there?

I agree that it sounds kind of low energy, it sounds kind of like a midi to me.

They seem to have been doing an anniversary re-release every year since Return of the Jedi’s 40th in 2023, and the number doesn’t actually matter. At least they did Revenge of the Sith and not The Force Awakens.

Sounds like it could have been a cool project

Sounds like a new can of worms has been opened with these statements.

Well we haven’t had “From a certain point of view” applied to a whole movie yet…

Maybe this is better than “Here, we hired some schmuck to tell you, now and forever, how the Jedi REALLY got started!”

That would be really weird if they developed independently

That whole video is awesome

That’s certainly true.

What untapped potential do you think they have? Disney seems to be going in the direction that Rey is going to be doing all the same stuff Luke did after Return of the Jedi. I was going to say the same thing Hal said, except I don’t think there even can be an answer to those questions because they have no basis in her character in the ST. They could make something up for what Rey brings to the table that Luke couldn’t, but any answer would feel really cynical to me.

I realize I’m poo-pooing on something I’ve already checked out on anyway, but what potential do you see in this? I’m curious. Or is it just that you think they should have a shot at it?

4-6 were made entirely separate from 1-3, 1-3 builds off of 4-6. But post-TRoS necessarily has to build off of TRoS, which really doesn’t lay any groundwork for anything worthwhile.

In your opinion, was Star Wars better off under George Lucas or Disney?

Hard to come up with an answer to this one

Not fixed 😦

Can someone explain why everyone thinks Mace is this badass lightsaber duelist. He went out in a very weak way. Blown out a window due to unlimited power. After Anakin chopped his hand off.

To be fair the power was unlimited
