I don’t think I agree with any of the camo-trooper talk here. I mean we didn’t really see any sand camo-troopers on tatooine, or snow camo-troopers on Ho…oh, never mind.

But in all seriousness, why make any of them camoflouged just because you can. I mean, isn’t that the kind of stuff most of you guys here hate about the SE, that Lucas just added crap because he could. Updating SFX, and correcting continuity errors etc. is one thing, but adding stuff to the movie just to cram it in there is superfluous IMHO.

I 100% agree with this.

I can’t remember where I read this but adywan had said he was planning to use toy models or something like that for some of the Jabba’s Palace creature’s, like the Gamorreans.

Am I wrong about this?

I don’t recall anything like this. He’s modifying a toy of the Falcon for some matte work, but nothing about creatures.

It was something to do about changing or manipulating their movements.

A proper continuation after T2 would have been a backstory film showing in the beginning Skynet being developed and then becoming self-aware launching nukes to Russia and then Russia retaliating by launching nukes to the US.

The few human survivors that are left are gathered up by the machines to work in camps branded by laserscan. John Connor saves the humans from the camps and they form the human resistance with John Connor being their leader teaching them how to fight back against the machines.

The war rages on for years until near the end, as depicted in the draft of the original opening to T2, the resistance smashes Skynets defense grid and the machines become inactive winning the war for them but as a last ditch effort Skynet sends back two terminators

The resistance learns of this and capture’s the lab complex with the time displacement equipment and after Kyle Reese “volunteers” and is ready to go through John tells him to give his mother a message for him (as depicted in T1). After Reese is sent back John finds the room with the unactivated terminators and see’s the one from T2.

I have to say that the concept of a second DS is too derivative for a ROTJ:R.

If I recall correctly, there’s a possibility the Ewok victory celebration at the end won’t be kept in this edit.

If people are so intent on making suggestions or pointing out errors to an edit that’s already been verified as finished, then why don’t they just create their own version in attempting to change/fix these things?

First Marilyn Burns then Gunner Hansen and now Tobe Hooper…

As for not releasing the OT, then i didn’t know you had seen the sale contract between Lucas and Disney. You haven’t? Oh, well then, how do you know that part of the contract was that they had to agree that they could not alter his films in any way, including reverting them back to their pre SE state? That they had to remain as they are in this final versions? At least until after his death? Truth is, none of us know.

This was an animated film I had seen on TV when I was young. It was about a boy who lived alone on a planet (like the King Kai planet depicted in DBZ) that only had a house with two walls, a floor, and no roof with just a bed and stove. I vividly remember scenes of him making tea and him running then falling over hurting his knee.

He then leaves the planet by capturing a shooting star with a net, riding it through space (while a voiceover narration plays) until he arrives on a desert land and meets a moustached man who is a pilot whose plane has broken down in the desert. Another scene I recall is a sandstorm happens there and the pilot covers him and the boy with a blanket.

Sounds like a version of The Little Prince

It does sound like The Little Prince. I used to watch the 70’s cartoon version.
Here’s the trailer from the 1974 movie - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8w0iRQDAl8

I hope this helps.

It was actually two episodes of the TV series The Adventures of the Little Prince (Hoshi no Ojisama Puchi Puransu) in english dub.

If this were to happen, I’m sure they’d be called rehashes 😛

If it did happen it wouldn’t be a rehash, more of a reimagined remake.

With all the discussions that go on with fans in the SW community about how disappointing the PT is, the things it should and shouldn’t have been, and people having their own personal canons from watching the OT, it’s hard to imagine a Studio or ambitious fan filmmakers to not take a crack at it.

I’m just tired of the focus on the character in general. I wouldn’t mind some new stuff set around the same time as the prequels focusing on different stuff, but I’m too bored with the whole “Tragedy of Darth Vader” concept to want another crack at it, regardless of quality.

What if it wasn’t a “Tragedy of Darth Vader” concept like Lucas depicted it, but a backstory to Anakin, Obi Wan, the Clone Wars, the fall of the Jedi etc.?

One thing I know they’ll get right is making Anakin in the beginning an older and maturer person about Luke’s age with an actor who’ll actually know how to act the part right.

I never really liked the chorus in Duel of the Fates. It just didn’t belong for me.

ROTJ is a disappointment so many levels that I have no problem putting R1 (and even TFA, in my opinion) above it. Not sure if I agree with ROTS though.

It has a multitude of problems but it also has some of the greater moments in the Saga. And I’m talking about character shit, not spectacles like Vader butchering Rebels with his lightsaber. In general ROTJ had more substance and for that reason alone I can deal with the Ewoks because I care about the Galaxy and the characters trying to liberate it.

The excruciating 40 minutes at Jabba’s palace alone is enough to make me want to watch something else. The Luke and Vader scenes are great, but they still can’t justify me wasting my time with the parts that I don’t enjoy.

What do you think went wrong after TESB? Besides Gary Kurtz not producing it.

With the direction Disney/LFL is taking the ST and anthology film’s by so far ignoring what the PT established and by pleasing fans with OT nostalgia, do you think Disney/LFL should go through with creating an APT to not only have them line up better with the OT and their views on the ST & future spin-offs but to also please SW fans who were disappointed with GL’s PT?

Do you have a plan? Or is it just something you think about?

There’s no one currently to relate to about it. Only someone who has personally gone through it can understand what it feels like. Everyone else just goes on giving parental advice.

It doesn’t seem like a lot of people in this thread have been dealing with suicidal thoughts.

She was once Beru Skywalker, Anakins sister. She was never trained, but is force sensitive and can see things before they happen. She married Owen Lars who never agreed with such “wizardry”. She stayed behind with Owen while her brother left on an “idealistic crusade” with Obi-Wan.
Watch the films with this in mind and it works just as well as Obi-Wan’s twisting the truth to Luke.
For me, it makes the entire backstory more interesting as both Owen and Beru would be strongly connected to and involved with the plot of the PT. It would give an opportunity for a good female character and much better relationship dynamics.

This could fit well with a personal canon I have for Anakin.

Anakin Skywalker is a young star pilot who lives a regular farm life on Tatooine with no desire to leave his home planet and believes himself to be a normal person like everyone else, unaware that the Force is strong with him. He then meets Obi Wan Kenobi whose ship has crash landed on Tatooine and is able to see how strong the Force is with Anakin. He then explains to him who he is as a Jedi Knight, the Force, and his involvement in the Clone Wars. After hearing all this Anakin begins to learn about something much greater than himself and when offered the chance by Obi Wan to leave with him to be trained as a Jedi and fight in the Clone Wars he unhesitantly agrees.

His friend Owen Lars tells him he shouldn’t be going with this person on some “damn fool idealistic crusade” but Anakin tells him that this is what he believes in now.
