The io9 March Movie Madness Poll...
Time

I didn't like Serenity at all. I've seen some of Firefly and liked it but the movie was a big disappointment. It fell into the same trap that most Joss Whedon projects do, "Let's kill off a bunch of the popular characters for the heck of it!" I could accept losing one or two but he killed almost the entire cast in that movie! So to see that film (people should not count that vote as vote for the show as well) win out over the Empire Strikes Back is truly disappointing.

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>

Don't forget Camie and Han's girlfriend that were both left on the cutting room floor....or the twins in the cantina now that I think about it.

"Leia managed to send hundreds of people to their deaths, by having them do her dirty work, so she could have revenge for some dude blowing up her planet."

Er what? She was part of a rebellion that existed before the destruction of alderaan, I don't think revenge factored too much into it or an ability to send hundreds to their deaths for a personal vendetta. It was a war of political ideals.

 

Anyway, love the way the AT-AT is coming out Ady. Has it been hard learning to do all this prop work?

This is a little off topic, but the problem I have with most of today's menus is that they give away too much of the movie. Someone who has never seen a movie before can have everything spoiled just by seeing the main menu. The same can be said for most of the movie trailers we see today as well. It's a sad state of affairs.

Yeah the line, "a group of freedom fighters led by Luke Skywalker has established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth." Refers to the fact that he found Hoth and led the charge to establish the new base there. It's actually covered in one of the stories going on in my sig. Though I don't think that particular one hits until next year.

One thing that gets me is that they have managed to make chewies face look like he does in the OT yet lucasfilm made him look completely different for ROTS.I never understood how they could get the face so wrong in ROTS.

That's why I like the CW team. They actually care and are fans of the license. It's George that doesn't get it and has them do all the cheese. I remember Dave Filoni the supervising director relating a story about the team closely studying the dejarik holograms and how they moved so they could recreate it for a quick shot in an episode and George didn't get why they were trying so hard to replicate that when they could make them look and move better now.

Eh, I think it would work on its own. I'll be trying it out tonight.

It could work on its own but I think it helps to pre-establish the fact that they're not going to the Death Star. That way a viewer that's going into the edit without that foreknowledge won't be flabbergasted or confused by the sudden appearance of the DSII behind the Emperor. Unless that's the intended effect.

Edit: Feel free to ignore this post. It's late and I just realized it works either way. =P
