To be taken with a very large grain of salt, but I felt it was worth posting anyway.

Reddit leaks always make me a little suspicious but the Tarkin one sounds the most legit in accordance with what we saw in one of the trailers and the films ridiculously large CGI budget.

When Jedis die they can reappear as visions to the people they knew. Why is that a concept that needs further analysis?

Because when Jedi’s die they don’t usually show up as ghosts otherwise there would be nothing special about it. It was Qui-gon first. Then Obi-wan and then Yoda. and then Anakin.

No other Jedi was able to achieve becoming a force ghost. But it had to do with the special teachings of Qui-gon which he had learned and passed on his knowledge. Otherwise there would be millions of Force ghost Jedi floating about.

It has nothing to do with being a Jedi.

Harmy's THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Despecialized Edition HD - V2.0 - MKV &amp; AVCHD (Released)
Time

I adore the colors of ESB 2.0 and consider them to be PERFECT, so I must say that the colors of 2.5 are a little dissapointing. It feels like a bit too much color has been sucked out of the picture. The increase in quality though is really awesome and what I’v seen so far is incredibly promising 😃 Thanks again Harmy!

That was so good I wish I hadn’t seen it. The bit at the end will be a guaranteed laugh at every viewing I go to.

The only “problem” I have with the clip is that it seems Jyn is a pretty capable combatant which means the premature Mary Sue claims will pop up again.

I made the foolish decision to look at the Youtube comments.

They already have, criticizing the fact that her comrade’s (If there’s one thing I’m bad at, it’s names) just staring while she kicks butt and how that’s a sign that feminism’s gone too far or something.

I can understand if somehow ALL of the other crew members (Droid excluded obviously) are inept and Jyn is the only competent one but we’ve already seen Magic Stick Man in action briefly along with the long haired guy who killed like Troopers in seconds so what the fuck?

I swear to God I hate people like this.

Sometimes it’s ok for a female to be a badass. Some people obviously can’t get this through their heads. I don’t hear anyone complaining about what seems to be a scene of Donny Yen kicking serious ass with a stick.

At the end of Felicity Jones’ interview with Jimmy Fallon tonight they played what I’m fairly certain is the first clip we’ve seen of the movie. It’s from the shootout with the stormtroopers in the Mos Eisleyesque location. Giacchino’s music is very recognizable. My brain lit up with excitement.

I’m sure it’ll be up online soon if it isn’t already.

ETA: Here it is:

Dang! I’m actually really surprised by how much I enjoyed this clip 😃 The music, action and comedy is great!

Get ready for &quot;Star Wars - Shroud of the Sith&quot;, a radical fan edit of &quot;The Phantom Menace&quot;

Would you rather:

  1. A screening in the next day or two with everything ready, minus the audio tracks for Jar Jar and Nass (with subtitles present)

or

  1. A complete screening with the audio tracks for Jar Jar and Nass, but not for another week or two.

I’m having a lot of issues with the audio for these two characters, which is the main reason I took some time off of working on this edit (I was just tired of dealing with it and needed a break). I just can’t seem to get it right.

If you’re cool with the lack of gungan voices, I could have a screening ready in the next couple of days, just for you to preview everything else while I figure out what to do about them.

Thoughts?

I’d definitely rather have option two, we can wait a few weeks for a more complete cut and I’m sure you’ll want feedback on the gungan voices as well.

This TV Spot really pissed me off. It’s as if they tried to cram in all the jokes of the movie into one trailer. There could have been some really crowd pleasing moments but they spoil us in the trailer. And some of the humor shown with K-2SO fell really flat for me. This is beginning to feel less and less like a unique war movie.

Yub Nub is atrocious. It’s bad for the same reasons Jedi Rocks is bad. The new song is much, much better.

Lol no

What happened to respecting everyone’s opinions? Laughing doesn’t seem very respectful.

I didn’t say you have to respect everyone’s opinions. I said you don’t have to be a sarcastic jackass about it. In the thread I said that to you, the guy you were responding to simply said that he liked ROTJ as much as the other movies and you responded in a sarcastic jackass manner, as you always do. He didn’t say anything to disparage you or your opinions. His opinion was expressed politely and it was a positive, not negative, opinion. He didn’t deserve your bullshit. This guy on the other hand went on the attack by saying something was “atrocious,” so if you ask me he opened himself up for my dismissal, which was still less dickish than yours.

Look, I know you think you’re some kind of comic genius or something, but you’re actually just another asshole on the internet. You’re maybe 1% as funny as you think you are. If you toned it down a notch and used your “wit” sparingly, instead of literally every post you make, that would be fine. Instead you feel the need to demonstrate how “clever” you are at all times, which gets extremely old extremely quickly. And I can only imagine how many people it has driven away from this site, because it confirms the impression that it’s dominated by the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.

Sometimes I consider Frink a jackass. Sometimes he genuinely makes me laugh.

I thought it was Professor Plum in the Kitchen with the pipe.

Professor Plum lives in a hut and doesn’t own a pipe, so he’s out.

StarWarsFan was just a troll who was annoying as fuck.

I prefer to take something positive from it. If you like the negative, that is your choice.

(I have one serious pet peeve but whenever I talk about it, it just turns into a joke).

You can’t just say that and not say what the peeve is.

I think we all know what the peeve is.

Which is why I’m not gonna be an annoying jackass and bring it up again.
