I’m sure he would have, had he been given more than four weeks to compose the score. I’d like to hear what he could come up with given a proper schedule.
I wouldn’t want to hear the Imperial March before its first appearance in The Empire Strikes Back. Having it hinted at here is the right way to do it.
Apparently cinematographers discuss and use them all the time when shooting on film and want that green look. Here’s a photographic film guide that discusses the same thing.
You know, I might have just come up with an explanation for the green cast in that shot. What if it was lit with fluorescent lights? Back then fluorescent lights usually had a bit of a green tint to them:
Just a thought.
Love this. Wonder what else might be hidden in there…
Anyone that would subject a new viewer to The Phantom Menace as their first Star Wars experience should be locked up.
This is not the post you are looking for…
RO is now #7 all time Domestic and #28 Domestic + International.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/
Adjusted for Inflation it is #65 Domestic.

TFA is #11 on the adjusted chart, which is pretty amazing for a 2015 movie.
All eight live action SW films are in the top 100 adjusted. No other franchise has that many.
“I question the wisdom of this move. At this price, what’s left to drain from this franchise? I don’t think Star Wars is another Bond-like franchise. It’s been eclipsed by movies like Avatar. I’m not convinced (Star Wars) has the cultural force it once did.”

Yeah everyone already knows that. Are you guys trying to suggest that Fox is the reason the OOT hasn’t been released? Because boy, that’s a good one…
Think about this from a business perspective. We’ve received multiple reports that they’ve restored the OUT but there’s been no sign of a release. Why is that? Here are the two options:
Which sounds like the smarter business decision?
That’s hilarious, I just realized Reese from Malcolm in the Middle was in the running to play little Anakin!

To put things in perspective, it was 6 years between the time George released the GOUT and the time he sold all rights to Disney. It has now been 5 years since Disney took over, and still no OOT.Considering their films are barely better than the prequels, which is not saying much, this lack of action should be considered an outrage.
Here’s some perspective:
Fox owns distribution rights to the original Star Wars, No. 4 in the series, in perpetuity in all media worldwide. And as for the five subsequent movies, Fox has theatrical, nontheatrical and home video rights worldwide through May 2020.
While the rights on those five films eventually will revert to Disney, that “in perpetuity” pact for the first film appears to be an obstacle to Disney releasing a complete set – unless a deal can be made.
I mean in Rebels, which is all set before RO.
I thought the ktch noise was the other trooper initializing his radio.
Yeah, that was the other possibility but the timing makes me lean toward it being the helmet impact. Sounds just like their armor as well.
I think they might have actually added an impact noise for the mono mix. At least that’s what it sounds like. Right as he hits his head you hear a *ktch* like noise.
One thing for sure, Hollywood is unfortunately not going to give up on CGI Actors. Let’s hope Hollywood doesn’t CGI Actors just to make some stupid commercials.
Or celebrities in general…I can already picture a CGI version of Michael Jackson grabbing its crotch…
I was asked to talk about my Top 10 Movies of 2016 on my friend’s podcast, so I had to watch some more movies from 2016 before I recorded so I wouldn’t have to have X-Men: Apocalypse or Deadpool in my list.
If you haven’t already recorded, I’d recommend the following:
I think Disney should have a go at doing the prequels to RO and show the demise of Anakin (again). It needs re-doing.
I think a standalone Anakin/Vader movie can solve this problem.
If they were to do an Obi-wan standalone as well as a pre-SW Vader, we’d have enough films for an unofficial replacement Prequel Trilogy!
It’s been bugging me that we’ve never seen one up to now and yet they were so prevalent in RO.
I liked that series except for all of the cringey Huttese slang.
I think everyone can agree on the fact that this is all Tobar’s fault.
But meesa doin’ nothing!
You can ask the artist here.
…and my vibro-axe!
Uh oh…

And if what might be regarded as unseemly haste, Disney is negotiating with the actor’s estate over her continued appearance in the franchise.
They cite no source for the claim but it’s a little worrying.
