if I bought SW, either in 2012 or today, first thing I’d do is give the OOT (and maybe the 97SE) a proper remastering/re-release. Then I’d cancel all copyrights and release everything Star Wars into the public domain.
Writing this answer. Now I’m done.
Considering that Palps had a clone body in TROS, the way he died in ROTJ doesn’t matter.
Killing him differently couldn’t prevent producers and script writers bringing him back by cloning.
I dunno. Can an evil ghost escape the event horizon of a black hole?
Yes, but only if I’m the one to do it, and only if I’m allowed full creative control.
Prowse would have worked fine as Anakin’s ghost, but not as unmasked, dying Anakin. He would have looked too strong and healthy.
With the right makeup/lighting, I’m sure he could’ve pulled it off.
“Boba Fett” is a stupid name. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kershner or whomever realized that during production of TESB, which is why he’s only ever referred to as “bounty hunter” in the final film.
Donald Trump will cum
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.
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. Ghost Shaw worked well in 1983, but It doesn’t anymore.
True — if you accept the PT as valid. If you don’t…
But like I said before, it should’ve always been Prowse.
The ST has more missed opportunities than you can shake a stick at.
The Future Coda ending of Terminator 2 is a better ending than the theatrical ending. It prevents lots of terrible sequels, and it ties in to the film’s themes of “no fate but what we make for ourselves” by preventing the nuclear war from happening.
Though I agree, I guarantee Hollywood would’ve used some timey-wimey bullshit to negate that ending and make terrible sequels regardless.
Also, Superweapon VII, what the hell is your new avatar?
Doesn’t discrimination against the neurodivergent fall under ableism?
A movie must have characters that I can relate to or/and can get emotionally attached, has to have a great narrative, a very well put beginning middle and end and acting has be at least subpar. If a film lacks any and or all the movie will fail.
Damn. When did this become unpopular?
If you’re a fan of Surrealist film, this will be unpopular.
I curse ALL of the big companies (Google, Amazon, Disney, Facebook/Meta, ect.) with very bad luck.
I’d start up a film production worker co-op.
I tried watching Star Wars Resistance. I had to switch it off. Didn’t even finish episode 2. I know it’s meant for a younger audience but it’s really bad.
So bad, you had to post twice. 😃
I genuinely hate that Rey
i think it would have been better if Darth Vader Origin story and Luke future were a mystery
While I’m not so against the exploration of the post-ROTJ universe, I’ve come to feel that Lucas should’ve abandoned plans for a PT and put the kibosh on the EU ever touching that era. 60-16 BBY should’ve remained a big blank slate for the fans to ponder over.
I think this is a very valid point of view that I tend to agree with. I’m sure people will chime in arguing which interpretation is the right one, and it may be right, but it definitely feels like it has been muddled, arguably by Lucas himself as time went on.
But I personally think the ambiguity feeds into the Force’s religious connotations in-universe pretty nicely, since religions have fought wars over which interpretation is right, with either side claiming theirs is the Truth.
Very good point. For better or for worse, and like a real religion, the Force and the Jedi have so many different interpretations.
Somewhat of an aside, but I always felt it was a missed opportunity that multiple Jedi sects/schools/denominations weren’t much of a thing. Yes, the EU did have Corellian Jedi, gray Jedi, etc., but for the most part, the Jedi were treated like a monolithic whole.
Random thought / observation …nearly every prequel rewrite or idea I come across still uses characters that were created for the movies that came out between 1999 and 2005 . Darth Maul , Grievous , Dooku , Qui Gon, etc . Be nice to see a rewrite or idea using original characters as well as the ones from the OT that would logically carry over …
I’m not a fan of soft prequel rewrites, but is there any constructive reason to completely eschew those characters? If your story calls for the inclusion of a Qui-Gon or Dooku-type figure, why not just use them? Filing the serial numbers off seems more like an exercise in contrarianism than anything else.
