What is going on at Lucasfilm

If someone’s seriously that addicted to the internet that just going on for school or work makes them immediately go on websites where they see things they wish they could unsee, which have partially ruined their life, they have a serious problem and need some serious help. Throwing up your hands and saying that the only solution to the problem is if the internet never existed is just going to lead to you, unsurprisingly, seeing more shit that’s going to partially ruin your life. Unless they take action to change their behavior, their behavior isn’t going to change.

You aren’t seeing “horrible things you wish you could unsee” on those unavoidable parts of the internet you need for school or work though, are you? You’re seeing that because you went on websites which are obviously going to have horrible things you wish you could unsee.

2(2^(2^2+2)+2^(2^2+2^(2-2))+2^(2-2))

Spuffure I’m sorry if this comes off as confrontational, but if going on the internet causes you so much pain that you wish you were forced not to use the internet, why don’t you just choose to stop using the internet?

People here did it with “The Skywalker Saga.” That was a marketing term used to promote Rise of Skywalker. Even though most here hated that movie, they bought it hook, line, and sinker and felt compelled to make unnecessary 9 movie mega edits because of it, because you have to have the complete Skywalker Saga.

Sure, but it’s not like the only reason people see some overarching something between 1-9 is because of marketing. Although I think I agree with you that there are probably more 9 movie mega edits than we probably need.

Like a pendulum though hopefully it loses a little bit of energy with each swing

I’m extremely nostalgic for the Revenge of the Sith video game, I played the hell out of it as a kid

I like the set design a lot. I don’t think Star Wars has had set design I’ve liked this much since the OT. Feels like a weird opinion to have but I have it

Infinite poop. You sit on the toilet to poop, but the poop never stops coming out of your butt. You have to start flushing the toilet every two minutes to keep up. You try to pinch your butt closed but that makes your insides hurt. The poop accelerates. You call 911. The paramedics call for doctors. The doctors call for specialists. The story trends on Twitter. You turn down talk show appearances. Your septic tank fails. People form a cult. Your toilet is finished. Volunteers arrive with buckets and shovels. You are completely used to the smell. The poop accelerates. You are moved to a stepladder with a hole in the top step. The poop accelerates. The shovelers abandon the buckets and shovel directly out the window. The poop accelerates. A candlelight vigil forms around your house. One of the workers falls over and can’t free himself. The poop accelerates. A priest knocks over the stepladder and tackles you out the window. You land in the pile. The poop accelerates. The force now propels you forward and upward. Vigil goers grab at your legs. The poop ignites from their candles. The Facebook live event hits 1 million viewers. The poop accelerates. You are 30 feet in the air. The fire engulfs the vigil and your house. 60 feet. The poop accelerates. The torrent underneath you is deafening. 5 million Facebook live viewers. You try to close up shop but your butthole disintegrated long ago. 120 feet up. Your house explodes. The poop accelerates. 1000 feet. You are now tracked on radar. You try to change your angle of ascent but you should have thought of that way earlier. The poop accelerates. 4,000 feet. NORAD upgrades to DEFCON 3. Concentric circles of fire engulf your city. The poop accelerates. You have broken the sound barrier. 30,000 feet. You no longer take in enough oxygen to sustain consciousness. 60,000 feet. CNN is reporting on all the world records you’ve broken. 200,000 feet. You are no longer alive. The poop accelerates. Your body disintegrates but your poop contrail remains. NASA can no longer track you. You break the light-speed barrier and we can no longer bear witness. The poop accelerates. Forever.

That’s awesome

I think it might be simpler to just do it the way the Star Trek EU does and let people choose to integrate or not integrate whichever canon they want.

Well, no. Unlike most of you, I’m a person who actually cares about continuity. I would like Star Wars to be a multimedia project, a single universe made up of multiple media that’s basically consistent with itself and between the various stories, as much as possible. I’m absolutely in favour of the existence of and official continuity, I think it’s necessary. This doesn’t prevent the individual fans to create their own personal Canon, and in fact I am the first to do so. But I think the existence of a stable and consistent official continuity is important.

Why

Why not? Canon isn’t the biggest deal ever, but it’s nice to have everything in a fictional universe be roughly consistent with each other. That way, you get to avoid the confusion that comes with insanely tangled multiverse timelines, and every installment feels like it “matters” in the grand scheme of things.

I guess I just don’t see the value in that. I don’t think either Star Wars EU does anything especially interesting with the overarching history of the galaxy so I don’t think we’d lose much by moving away from an overarching continuity. It feels like more of a novelty that pretty wildly different stories have continuity between each other.

I heard all the reasons about Hayden and the Redeeming nonsense created his ghost to become young again lol,
crap…

Shaw is a bad choice as well to be honest, since Anakin/Vader died at 45

Anakin/Vader only died at 45 after the prequels made him so young. Shaw was a perfectly fine choice in 1983.

Ghost Shaw worked well in 1983, but It doesn’t anymore. Personally, as I said in my previous post, I’m in favor of replacing the current 20-years old ghost Hayden with a version of Hayden himself that’s closer to his 40s.

Okay, but that doesn’t make it a “bad choice” that they cast Shaw, like you said. You can’t fault them for not having the clairvoyance during the production of RotJ to know that the prequels would contradict them two decades later. It’s not a flaw of the OOT and it’s not something that needed to be fixed.

Yes, but we’re no longer in 1983. Like it or not, there are other films now, and we must see things in a more united context.

Which is why I don’t agree with this attitude toward the OT. The OT came first. The OT portrayed Anakin as being old. The PT contradicted that. It’s not the OT’s fault and it shouldn’t be a good thing to “fix” the OT to fit in with the prequels, the prequels should have fit in with the OT themselves.

Having Palpatine’s machinations is cool, but it shouldn’t be an infinitely complex game of mouse trap while the Jedi sit on their butts.

I like the idea that Palpatine is, as well as a Senator, the intermediary between the Senate and the Jedi. In Episode 1, the Jedi will seek the power to act militarily without the Senate’s authorization because of what the Trade Federation’s doing. In Episode 2, the Jedi aren’t able to handle the conflict they got themselves into and they need an army to defend the Republic as it turns into a full-on galactic war. By Episode 3, Palpatine’s the middle man to this huge vortex of power the Jedi are accruing, and all he has to do to take it for himself is get the Jedi out of the way.

There can be tons of manipulation and Palpatining but the central steps from Senator Palpatine to Emperor Palpatine should be more clear.

I think I would unironically hire 3 different groups to do simultaneous reboots of the entire saga

Maybe. I feel like it’s beyond the scope of Vader as a character though. His redemption isn’t just the end of his character because he should die for what he did, but because he’s just no longer an interesting character once that’s done.

It might be interesting to see Anakin have to atone or pay for what he did somehow in the afterlife, but I think he’s better off dead in RotJ.

Maybe G&G’s on to something, and the point of Vader’s redemption isn’t so much that he’s becoming a good guy, but that the small glimmer of good that’s in him (and by extension, in everybody) is showing through. By showing Vader actually put in the work to earn forgiveness would make an arc of him becoming good more satisfying, but would add a ton of unnecessary complexity to the theme Vader’s redemption is in service of.

I feel like Zuko’s not a great comparison to Darth Vader. Zuko’s arc relies on him joining the protagonists, his redemption isn’t the end of his story. This isn’t the case for Vader, and I don’t think it should’ve been either.

I don’t like that some PT fans refuse to see the OT within their temporal context of 1977-83.

I agree
