The Dreaming Jewels by Theodore Sturgeon
The first novel by Theodore Sturgeon. A little rough around the edges as is to be expected of an author’s first work. But an entertaining read with interesting characters.
Are the stormtroopers still going to say “Knights of Ren… Ghouls” or are you planning on making them silent and just look at each other? Seems like half of us thought they were saying “cool”.
I would love for them to be silent and just have that look of unease. We don’t need them to give us story details.
Sounds like Hal’s already decided but I just wanted to also voice my strong dislike of the ghouls line. Took me right out of the movie in the theater.
If we do it’ll be years down the road. Investors aren’t biting anymore and I think it’ll need time away from the popular culture to distance itself from the last few attempts. The current series aren’t helping that matter.
Or you could show it heal in Ben’s hand when he shrugs. You could do it with the audio and e visual of The crackling could just fade out back to normal.
Or like right before he shrugs.
He pulls the blade out and it’s still crackling, it transitions to normal and the audio is where most of this happens. Some sort of healing sound? Then the knights reaction then the shrug.
That would make it seem like Ben healed it. This is all starting to sound very convoluted. Having it crackle the whole film seems to be the best option.
Andrew Wilson the CEO of EA referred to Fallen Order as the "first title in an entirely new franchise” in a recent conference call.
I’m on board for option A.
I kind of get the feeling he originally intended Hosnian Prime to be Coruscant but LFL stepped in on that.
That would have felt more like a middle finger to the prequel era than a wink to the fans lol
That’s what I’m saying. He’s never been a fan of the prequels.
I kind of get the feeling he originally intended Hosnian Prime to be Coruscant but LFL stepped in on that.
I’m confused why the First Order would still have a presence at Jakku after Rey and Finn left. It’s even more remote than Tatooine.
I really like that last mock up Hal. The only thing I would recommend, if it’s possible, is to rearrange the battle so that the first shot of Kylo isn’t that close-up shot. It feels jarring to cut from that long shot of the troops to a sudden close-up.
Everything else felt spot on.
My concern is adding all of these new blasting into hyperspace while in atmosphere shots. The Falcon does it at the end of the film and now Ochi’s ship will too? Atmospheric use of hyperdrives is something that has started to slip into new canon but it still feels wrong and certainly not something that should be overused.
I’m thankful any and all reference to lightspeed skipping are excised just for my own sanity.
Poor Boolio, I just don’t get the hate for him.
I can try to remove “they fly now,” lol.
Oh please do, I thought that removal was a given.
Don’t know if you guys realised but Coruscant has twin sons, not shown in Prequels but its in Return Of The Jedi and Clone Wars.
I’m not seeing any evidence of that.
To add to that:
I prefer to emphasize names and voices that we came up with ourselves. Ideally, it would be a bunch of fan edit enthusiast inserting themselves into the universe directly.
Was it this one? I saw that the other day when I was looking up an airing order list. It intrigues me and I might give it a go someday.
As for the concept of escalation with Batman, I’d say that dates back to the original Batman: Year One that follows the start of his crusade. There’s actually a great list of the comics that continue on from there here. The Archie Goodwin run of The Legends of the Dark Knight was phenomenal.
I think the added glow draws too much attention to them and brings out the seams. They don’t blend anymore. It was much more affective when they were more faded, almost a whisper. It was perfect a couple iterations ago.
I think it’s fine to keep the Burning Homestead cue. It’s perfect in the moment. None of the other alternatives pack the right punch for that scene.
I always thought it must have been recycled footage from a different project.
Or better yet… hold out hope that @jonh can make a Shaw-version of his amazing scene!
I’ve secretly been hoping this is a possibility but I know it’s highly unlikely.
That’s really only true of that first two-parter and that was due to Fox meddling. After that they kept to the intended original airing order. You could easily just watch both parts to that first arc and then continue on with the list without rearranging anything else.
The production order really irks me because Joker’s Favor is such a better introduction to this iteration of the Joker over what you’d get from starting with Christmas With the Joker.
I hope you’re watching Batman in airing order and not in the ridiculous production order that it has always been released in ever since.
I’d prefer it stay blue for consistency’s sake but I haven’t seen the yellow variant.
Sorry if this has already been discussed but have there been any attempts to cut out the Goonies-esque dagger sequence?
I was wondering if it would be possible to edit that scene in a way that she has a vision of the throne room while looking out at the wreckage and then a camera zoom to the specific location.
