Not sure what you are refering to helmet dork. Are you referring to Skyjedi's comments on the real novel, "Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor"? Or my joke about how similar "Shadows of Mindor" is to "Shadow of Mordor" (hence the Lord of the Rings reference)?

 

 About the idea of Lucas wanting to do this in a Star Wars story.

I think Lucas would tell you that he is "like-a-painter-who-never-feel-that-a-work-is-finished-and-retouch-it-over-the-years".

But a painter usualy don't sell his work before it's done of course...

 

(sorry for my bad english on this post, hope I made myself clear)

 Nah, I understood clearly and get what you mean.

You can't be serious in saying that that was a serious idea.

If so, let's be glad that never happened. Sounds pretty mediocre to me.

Grievous was pretty much wasted, I thought.

There seems to be no logical explanation for Yoda and Chewie knowing eachother...

But they should have had Palpatine act a bit more mature.

After he struck Yoda down at the beginning of their battle, he stood there as if he was laughing like some bratty little kid. I now laugh at that scene because it looks so screwed up.

The portrayal of Palpatine from his showdown with Windu onwards was awful. Overdone painfully. The Emperor in ROTJ was over the top, but in a way that worked. ROTS's equivalent didn't work. Painful hamming, awful makeup, ruined character. He was so fucking annoying too. The Yoda-Palpatine fight scene was thoroughly lame all around. And it was shown simultaneously with the awful Mustafar showdown, so we got a double dose of awfulness. Complete with extra-pompous music. Terrible filmmaking. So much work was put into that Mustafar scene and it was built up so big and it was totally uninvolving bullcrap. The worst part was probably Anakin ranting, which came of like a pissed off two-year-old trying to do Bad.

 

Palpatine, when he stood up after deforming himself, looked, to me, very similar to Walter Donovan's dying figure in Indy and the Last Crusade.

Right before Vader's conversation with the Emperor's hologramme/before Vader's flagship went out of the asteroid field for better transmission, there was a Star Destroyer that had one of those big balls destroyed by an asteroid. However the explosion caused looked like a dust explosion or something. What about this?

That R2 unit looks pretty spot on, and the X-Wing doesn't seem to look bad either.

I've been wondering about this.

He seems to be unable to get a movie finished before it hits theatres, resulting in edits after the film's release, he seems to have rushed the 2004 DVD releases of the 'original' Star Wars Trilogy...and he seems obsessed with putting CGI effects in older films, like in RotJ.

Does anyone know what the hell happened to this guy over the years? I used to know him as the mastermind behind the original Star Wars trilogy and loved him for that, but now I wouldn't be surprised if he hypnotised himself years ago into thinking that the opinions of those watching his films don't matter as long as he's content with his CGI fragments.

Yoda hates him for not giving him an exile scene in the theatrical version of RotS, Darth Vader hates him for giving him a pink/orange light sabre in the 2004 DVDs, Han Solo hates him for letting Greedo shoot first, and Luke doesn't seem to care about having a light sabre that seems to be able to change into various colours in STAR WARS 2004.

Somehow I think the effect that the original Star Wars had for the special effects industry backfired on Lucas' mind.

I have a bad feeling about this...

Anyone remember the scene right before I talked to the Emperor's hologramme?

A Star Destroyer got DESTROYED by an asteroid, but that explosion it made looked like it was some kind of dust explosion underwater or so. What about that?

 

i thought it was just the communication getting knocked out? wasnt it just an asteroid hitting the ball thing?

 

would be cool having a huge asteroid smashing a star destroyer up though, perhaps they could be getting really big holes knocked into them as the film progresses?

 

btw vaderios, i didnt mean to sound like i was critiscisng the matts, youve done a great job isolating them.:) i liked the previous things with the window you did too.

Maybe, but I thought it looked a bit weird.

With the success of Star Wars Revisited, is that a surprise?

The only request I'd have is make my lightsabre red, I shit myself when I took off my mask and I noticed George Lucas turned it pink.

Current state of Star Wars...

I'm not sure if the Empire can still stand long enough. The Force Unleashed, the Limited Edition DVDs and the movie and soundtrack of Episode III were the last things I recently purchased related to Star Wars.

I'm pretty much amazed the GOUT DVDs got past quality control.

Sadly, the images on the box are clearer than those found in the actual movie content.
