so your whole point is canon not respecting other canon? i don’t think this actually exists, outside of certain youtubers opinions.

-Every character in these movies is more compelling than any character in the prequels.Do you really believe that?
Well maybe not Ric Olié. 😉
More seriously, it’s not that the Ewok movie characters are more realistically portrayed or well acted (they aren’t), but rather that there is some ineffable sense of energy and earnestness in their writing and direction that has been wrung out of the prequel characters. Just look at the behind the scenes materials for Episode 2 for the sort of energy that all but disappeared when George was done editing.
I think that feeling of earnestness is the essential component in a Star Wars movie, which is why the sequel trilogy has worked so much better than the prequel trilogy in my opinion.
Wow, I can’t believe that you hold that opinion. Earnestness is all well and good, but it can’t save bad characters. By the end of TFA, I felt like JJ had not done the work to get me to like Rey, but rather took shortcuts like having Leia and Han be too eager to help/like her. For example, when Leia walks past to Chewie to hug Rey, and THEN sends Rey out of all the Rebels to be the one to find Luke, their only hope.
I don’t feel that GL took those same shortcuts with PT characters. I think he knew that aging up Anakin in TPM would have pleased more of the audience, but he didn’t do it for reasons he saw as logical (Leaving his mother at 9 instead of 13 is going to do more damage, 9 year olds are more innocent than filthy teenagers, etc.)
Also, TPM Anakin is plenty “earnest”.So yeah, i’d say that earnestness is way down on the list of what makes a good character, since the main character of the ST sucks, despite being more earnest than PT characters (according to you).
I’m also not above speculating that JJ counted on her gender making it easier for him to take investment shortcuts and still get good audience and critic reviews.
Take Rey vs Ahsoka. It takes Anakin 3 whole seasons to stop trying to hold Ahsoka back. Filoni did not count on Ahsoka’s gender/is not a lazy enough filmmaker to essentially try to “force the meme”.And don’t even get me started on how Kylo Ren is about ten years older than AotC/RotS Anakin and is STILL more of a whiny petulant baby than Anakin ever was, despite coming from a loving household (barring TLJ Luke style OT3 character assassinations.)
And finally, I think what people don’t like about the PT is that it’s actually TOO earnest. It doesn’t get more earnest than Anakin’s fireside monologue, or the Tusken confession.
suggestion, leave the TLJ and TFA bashing in the review threads for those movies.
if anything is just trolling, i am tempted to believe it is this topic.
I call my inferiors by their first name.
Ok Carl.
but the real question in all of this is , why is six afraid of seven ?

From John Kasdan - co-writer of Solo…
‘In honor of the digital release of #SoloAStarWarsStory & in lieu of a commentary, here are 53 random factoids & notes about the making & writing for anybody who’s interested. If you haven’t seen the movie yet… maybe watch it before reading? Anyway, enjoy the movie & #MTFBWY’
This is great.
Finally got a chance to watch 4K77 and the new sound is absolutely amazing. I’m loving it!
Does anyone know if this will sync to Despecialized 2.7?
Despite how good the DNR version looks I still prefer the Despecialized for my go to version of Star Wars and I would love to mux in this audio track if at all possible.
Thanks
yes it will, as both are GOUT synched
i call my teachers by their first name,
insolent child! back when i was in grade school, this was a big no no.
i’m pretty
i won’t argue that, but it doesn’t really have any bearing on this discussion, so …
i’m going to call my superiors by their first name too.
ok, i agree. if i meet any superiors i would probably do that too. our (western) culture is very informal these days (in almost all spheres).
I’ve taken the 4k edition with dnr, but there is an issue with vlc accepting the format (the soft crashed after a few seconds). Any advice on how to play it with a computer ? Thanks in advance !
Seems this thread exists just to express your low opinion of the ST, and hopefully find an echo chamber.
Seems the members at OT aren’t having it.
But good news. You can join us, and we can enjoy the cohesive universe together!
Ah, okay, that makes much more sense!
My hovercraft is full of eels.
LOL
Ok, now I want to watch with the Tamil dub!
The English insults are in Empire, the weird dubbing of people that don’t need to be dubbed are in Jedi. The heavy breathing is, thankfully, everywhere. Sadly, though, I don’t believe there ever was a Tamil dub of Star Wars, and both the Empire and Jedi tracks are cobbled together from torrents that didn’t have the complete dub to begin with, so there’s English bits filling the gaps.
Good to know. I think I have a new quest…
Ok, now I want to watch with the Tamil dub!
when will we start seeing ISOs for this? I do not know how to burn an MKV video (with all the audio options included) on a disc.
Hopefully a Blu-ray iso will be released soon ish (but it might be a few months), but all you need is tsmuxer to create an iso.

Crazy if it actually works. But kudos for trying.
holy hell ash, that is nuts. I hope you don’t get any felonies. but yeah, next time try to not get blackout drunk (It sounds like you understand this yourself, but it is worth reiterating).
Drinking should be done responsibly!
I’m more curious to know what Dom and I will do to get our bans. Assuming my theory is correct, which I assume it is.
The 3 most recent threads in the feedback forum are all from banned users.
It probably doesn’t mean anything.
…
.
So currently is myspleen the only way to get the dnr version?
Hopefully it will be on a.b.starwars eventually.

Okay, that definitely makes sense, but from a pacing standpoint I always thought that the amount of things on the wall that they were shooting broke up the action a little too much.
I agree.
Quite the necrobump. The OP had me scratching my head until I saw the year. LOL.
