Probably Han Solo he is the worst thing to come out of star wars.

Proof that this guy is just a troll right here

Oh god, yet another PT fanboy set out to troll the “purists”. The sooner Jay gets the ignore feature reinstated, the better.

Anyone else get a whiff of a sock?

Also if any mods can move this thread to it’s proper place (if it’s within your scope of abilities) that’d be great.

probably NOT a good idea to be advertising that you are using the bootleg blu-ray rip that was leaked weeks before the blu-ray was officially released for your edit instead of a rip from your own legit copy.

It’s the only shot in the film that the light it out. in was an on set gaff.

1- ESB
2- ANH
3- TFA
4 -ROTJ
5 -Rogue One Trailer
6 -Battle for Endor

It doesn’t matter what colour the windows of the At-At’s are in Rogue One. For one, the Revisited saga isn’t meant to follow canon of spin-off’s, eu, sequels etc and the other is the fact that they aren’t even the same model as the ones we see in ESB. No red windows in Revisited

The Prequels 😉

I didn’t like the TFA textcrawl. The Star Wars logo’s yellow edges were too thick. The font for the episode title felt wrong.

Many people from this very site would have done a better job.

The logo has changed thickness throughout the saga. The OT having a thinner logo than the prequels. At least they got the lettering style right closest to that of the OT (the wider top of the “A” for example) , unlike the prequels did. The TFA title is the same thickness of the prequels but with the lettering almost identical to ESB and the colour closest to that of of ESB’s too.

(Top left =TFA, top right =ESB, bottom left =AOTC & Bottom right =ROTS)

As for the font on the crawl, well that changed too even in the OT. They have gone with the font style closer to that of ESB for the episode title (with the more rounded “R”), while the prequels went with a font closer to that of ROTJ

Abrams excels at character vinettes, but tends to fail at the greater story arc a movie or TV series needs. He is horrible with endings, which may be why instead of a real ending, we get a “to be continued” setup for the next film. TFA is rubbish in so many ways.

So you must feel the same way about the prequels then because every single one of their endings whad a “to be continued” set up for the next episode. TPM with the whole sith/ palpatine " was it the master or the apprentice" thing. AOTC with the beginning of the clone wars and seeing the ships taking off and then ROTS basically setting up for the continuation into episode 4.

Here in the UK we have the standard edition which comes in two different slip cases; black (dark side) and white (light side) and then a steelbook. No extras like the Target release or any other variations , so far.

And are german and irish people offended as well by General Hux (I mean, he’s a space nazi ginger) ? They should be I guess. Are gay people offended by C-3PO (he clearly sounds like my hairdresser) ? Or aren’t just american people getting offended more easily that europeans (swedish not included) ?

Well, as Hux was not doing a stereotypical german accent or 3P0 doing a stereotypical gay characterisation (Daniels pretty much talks that way in real life) , there was nothing there to offend people, so you cannot compare those to the uproar about the prequel characterisations.

Now you’re just avoiding making a real argument, which shows me that you have no way of arguing your opinion on the matter.

Me posting evidence of their heavy Asian accent is making a real argument unlike you who has been trying to worm your way around it and hiding in the shade of Lucas’ nutsack.

Me posting that is like me debating with a fundamentalist Christian who doesn’t believe in evolution and posting Homo Habilis or something to only meet a response of “you’re not making an argument”

Please find a video of Asians talking that way. You have 89 years of film and television to choose from. And Asian is so specific. Are they speaking with a Chinese, Mongolian, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Cambodian, or Indonesian accent? The answer is none of those and also not like any white person in yellow face faking an accent. Their accent is unique and unspecific. The closest I have heard was Reggie Nalder (and Austrian who played the Andorian Ambassador in Journey to Babel). But it is not Asian.

Having grown up with the TV of the 60’s & 70’s here in the uk with the likes of It Aint 'arf hot mum, mind your language, Benny Hill, Spike Milligan, Alf Garnet and a host of other comedies and comedians, the accents in TPM are racial stereotypes and very typical of the type of “white person doing an accent” that we use to get. The nemoidians are very much like the way the comedies portrayed an Asian accent (the Chinese being the traders). Watto is completely the old style Jew (The shop keeper and money man. Remember the hat? Well you know what that was originally based upon…) etc etc. It’s the same type of thing george did with making the bad guys (Empire) British. Was it blatant racism? probably not. More like an old guy stuck in an era past. You have to remember that these characters were based on georges notes during the design stage. he would have given the designers a full description of the character which most likely included what they sounded like. Then , when it came time to record the characters voices, george was there in the studio directing them as to what he wanted them to sound like, including any accents. the accents were deliberate.

peter Sellers Fu Man Chu is very similar to the accent of the nemoidians and the way Nute speaks.

Then the Prequels. I think the people judged fairly making them the best selling of the six films.

But they weren’t the best selling of all 6. Domestic, adjusted for inflation, the prequels didn’t perform as well as ANY of the OT and now TFA included. In fact eps 2 & 3 performed pretty badly.

Star Wars #2
The Force Awakens #11
The Empire Strikes Back #13
Return of the Jedi #16
The Phantom Menace #18
Revenge of the Sith #63
Attack of the Clones #91

Now adjusted worldwide is slightly different…

Star Wars #7
The Force Awakens #10
The Phantom Menace #17
The Empire Strikes Back #21
Return of the Jedi #24
Revenge of the Sith #56
Attack of the Clones #83

yeh, its been a while since i read the book. Its just said that she takes leia to live as the daughter of senator organa on alderaan. Ben calls him her Foster Father, so not even adpoted.

now, onto the Rogue On trailer…

Not impressed. Looks more like a TV show or quality Fan film to me. The AT-At’s are terrible. They move like their video game counterparts. No weight to them at all. They could have at least properly studied the At-At’s in ESB to see how they move and walk. The lead actresses acting is terrible too. Mon Mothma they got spot on. A shuttle that looks more like a larger version of Kylo Ren’s shuttle makes no sense in the timleine this is set. And moisture vaporators on a planet that seems has no problems with obtaining water?

Tobar said:

Mon Mothma is easy to explain.

The one that is/would be hard to explain is Biggs.

If that is Biggs then we do actually have a continuity problem on our hands. When Luke runs into him at Tosche Station he states his intentions of jumping ship and trying to join the Rebellion. He doesn’t supposedly join the Rebellion until sometime after that before Luke makes it to the Hidden Base.

Now, some will say that it’s a deleted scene and therefore doesn’t count. HOWEVER, it’s been officially stated that the novelizations of the films are canon and that scene is included in the novelization of Star Wars.

Theories?

I’ll never understand why they ever said that the novels are canon )unless its a misunderstanding and they meant the new-EU novels and NOT the movie adaptations). If they are then Owen is Obi-Wan’s brother and Padme married Bail Organa.

But that fight will be between Obi-Wan and Anakin, and therefore we know that Vader did not “betray and murder” Luke’s father, as Obi-Wan tells him later.  So tim’s right, the whole fight would have to be removed.

No, that lightsaber duel was the best of the entire saga.

oh, it really wasn’t . All flash and no substance

yotsuya said:

Plus I noticed a big gaff withe the Starkiller weapon as the rebels approach… there is no beam being sucked in. Oops.

The weapon charges in a different area. we only see the actual weapon section when they arrive

suspiciouscoffee said:

Surely there is some level where they objectively succeeded, or else it wouldn’t have as many fans as it does.

You’d be surprised how many of these prequel fans think they aren’t good films and like them just because " it’s star wars and you have to love everything star wars or you’re not a true fan". Well, until Disney pruchased Lucasfilm and now its " you have to love george’s Star wars or you’re not a true fan"

I’m hoping these features do find their way online soon. Here in the Uk we are getting no exclusives so we will never get to see these extras 😦

Welp, time for me to buy a copy of the movie from Amazon so I can get started.

Going back to my decision to replace all the music in the film, I thought I’d accompany this piece from a Quentin Tarantino interview about my decision.

https://youtu.be/vXGUEjYCybA?t=6m25s
It skips to the part of the interview I’m talking about.

Music is supposed to drive the film and really build a connection with the scene it accompanies. With The Force Awakens, I think this is universally agreed on, while the soundtrack itself isn’t bad, or even it’s pretty good, it’s use in the film is awful. It’s hardly audible.

You might want to hold off on that decision until you get the blu-ray. the mix in many theatres was horrendous. But the Blu-Ray has a much better mix, with the music clearly audible ( as it was on a couple of showings in a different theatre i went to see it at)

Plus he wasn’t trying to kill Rey. He had been ordered to bring her before Snoke for training. It does make you wonder if people actually watched the film 😉

John Doom said:

Your argument that Obi-wan was unarmed is invalid, it was a fair duel :\

How can it be invalid when Obi-Wan basically stops fighting and just stand there? his weapon is not used in any defensive form so he may as well be unarmed. Vader only killed him when he was defenceless. Not a fair fight at that point at all.

I guess you forgot about Lor San Tekka, who he killed right at the beginning of the film.

Another unarmed man, old too.

So, because he was unarmed, this made him a useless villain and not threatening?

How about we add this, this and this? Does Kylo do enough of this? That’s a constant threat, to me.

Well, for one he isn’t involved in any space battles so #'s 1 & 3 aren’t even a good argument. And if he had been involved in a situation similar to that, then you would have just moaned that it was ripping of ANH anyway. And #2 Vader fights like an old guy against an old guy and kills an old guy that drops his defence, basically unarmed. So Vader kills an unarmed old man and he is threatening, but when Kylo does it then it makes him nonthreatening?
