‘One of the more common misconceptions about “Star Wars” is the idea that creator George Lucas directed and wrote the entire original trilogy.

This is a rather odd thing to say, given that it literally says “Directed by Irvin Kershner” at the end. This seems like padding to make the article longer.

I thought the same in the late '90s/early '00s. I was a kid, though, and not a very bright one.

“What an incredible smell you’ve discovered!”

Didn’t like it. Thought it was quite pretentious.

As Peter Griffin once said, it insists upon itself.

You already had me triggered something fierce. Then to add insult to injury, you referenced Family Guy.

I was under the impression his head was engulfed in flame, obfuscated by poor colouring.

Coming from an anti-copyright perspective, critiques of AI art borne of “muh property” are immaterial. I do believe artists who make art as a living should be adequately recompensed for their work. But once that’s done and their work’s out there in the world, it no longer belongs to anyone but to everyone. I see nothing unethical about an AI program using those pieces to make what are essentially seamless digital collages, so long as the persons using it aren’t pulling a Lichtenstein. Anti-capitalist critiques, along with critiques pertaining to the artistic merit of AI, on the other hand, are quite valid.

I began dabbling in AI art this past September. It was a fun toy to play with those first few weeks, but it quickly lost its lustre. From the creative standpoint, I found it an incredibly low-effort, unchallenging, soulless exercise. Since then, I’ve only used AI-generated images as components in digital collages, as “pure” AI art does nothing for me as a creator.

Ugh. That die-cast Disney brand fills me with endless revulsion. Dunk 'em in a vat of acetone and crush 'em into a cube.

Not much of a fan of Vader’s deathbed conversion, so I would’ve preferred this purgatorial take. It definitely would’ve clashed with ROTJ’s ending, though.

Mandalorians wearing gender-specific helmets is a dumbshit addition to the lore. I know TCW is a kids show, but c’mon. . . .

I read roughly half of it when it was a free-to-download PDF. That would’ve been before it was published as a book. I regret not finishing it, but I have a hard time reading e-books.

I did not like the Character of Darth Maul yes he looked Cool but he wasnt too interesting except for the Action Scenes I didnt like it how Resurrected him in TCW Show it was very Forced and he was not Original Exar Kun a Character from Tales of the Jedi Comics used the Double Lightsaber first

A strange criticism. Is Lucas not allowed to take inspiration from the EU? Besides, Kun and Maul are completely dissimilar characters.

I prefer woodchipper order. As in throw videocassettes of each movie in a woodchipper and haphazardly splice together the confetti that comes out the other end.

Looks like Yoda went metrosexual on our asses. Y’all can’t tell me he isn’t wearing guyliner in that pic.

He got her to Coruscant, otherwise, they would have been stuck on Tatooine.

Which would’ve ruined Padme’s hair, skin, and makeup. And by all the costume changes she makes throughout the trilogy, you know she’s a vainglorious girl.

Interesting about being anti-copyright, VII. I would think that being pro-copyright would prevent you from watching an unlicensed edit, so I guess I’m a bit confused.

Quoting this site’s own rules:

“As far as this community is concerned, you should own the official retail release of a fan project’s source material if it is possible to do so. Content producers deserve to be compensated, so if you don’t own the retail release (if available), you have no business possessing a fan project. This applies equally to fan edits, custom DVDs and restoration projects.”

I fundamentally disagree. I could try to cheat the system, but it’s too risky, so I don’t bother. I restrict myself to edits available for streaming on YouTube, Vimeo, etc.

Also, if you’re so against the preservation of the OT, why the hell are you even here? Are you simply a troll? Well, given that your join date was 2007 and you waited 15 years to post something, I’m not entirely sure.

Like shingles, trolls can stay dormant in the body for decades before activating.

OT: There really isn’t anyone, but I guess since I have to say someone I’ll say Mon Mothma. I don’t really have anything against her, just her monotone voice is the only justification I could find to say anything bad about anyone in the originals.

She was just ahead of the curve, an ASMRtist 30-odd years before that was even a thing.

Does that mean Hux gets regular cocaine/spice injections into his butt?

Oh so it’s one of those threads now. Geez, I feel like I’m on Reddit.

I copied a picture of some pasta but I won’t paste it here.

The Italian side of my heritage curses you.

I’m never seeing Top Gun. Fuck that shit.

I don’t really like the Beach Boys all that much.

Likewise. This mashup is god-tier, though:

I thoroughly dislike the galactic celebration, though I did like how the EU rolled with it; with the celebrants on Coruscant being rounded up and put before firing squads.
