General Star Wars <strong>Random Thoughts</strong> Thread

I love how Disney hasn’t announced anything past 3 sequels and two spin offs, but somehow we’re going to get 15 years of the same thing. We don’t know what else they have planned. THEY don’t know what else they’re planning.

It’s being negative for the sake of being negative, and I’ve been tired of it since the day I got here.

Does anyone realize that SW has been creatively bankrupt for 35 YEARS NOW!

Besides redlettermedia?

I was like “oh look, gf posted in Random Thoughts, I wonder if it will be a doomsaying prophecy?”

I was close.

Well the franchise is worse off than it was than in 1997. Even if Disney gives the OUT in 4K quality, we still have to deal with half a dozen films that just cover the same ground as ANH/ESB. How many times can you see AT-AT’s in a film before the audience gets bored? Disney is a far more cynical filmmaking company than prequel-era Lucas ever was.

In your opinion. Which most of the world doesn’t share.

No one has to “deal” with movies. You can ignore them (like I wish I could to you on this forum again) and the rest of us can enjoy them.

How can you ignore them when 95% of movies released today are corporate tentpole blockbusters pandering to Chinese audiences? Will anyone like it when the Star Wars franchise is reduced to two good movies and twenty mediocre ones?

Disney is not about storytelling anymore, its about EXPLOITING NOSTALGIA to make a profit.

You can find a new hobby besides not watching movies and just complaining about them.

It would be good to get at least one of as many Rebel flight suits as possible to add new featured pilots to the briefing. I rather liked the grey variant seen in Rogue One. It would nice to see that in ROTJ

I DO know there’s a difference between R1 & ANH’s flight suits, thanks to Ming instantly pointing it out on his FB.

Personally, I’m hoping that the shots from RotJ he used in ANHR won’t be in ANHRHD. It’s one of my favorite shots from RotJ, so it’s really jarring for me to see it in ANHR.

As for shots from R1 in RotJ, we’re still a while from that, and I honestly don’t think they’d fit in very well. RotJ is fairly locked-off camera shots, while R1 zooms and drifts.

Vader probably relished a chance to cut loose on some Rebel scum.

But he casually walks in and looks around at the dead troops like it’s just another day at the office. I see what you mean but the whole thing feels like the obligatory lightsaber moment. It’s trying too hard to be badass seconds after a sombre ending.

The guy lives in a big life support machine, so all that hacking and slashing probably wore him out.

My friend has a theory that the reason Vader seems less active in ANH is because he hasn’t had a chance to heal in bacta if he has to go back to Mustafar regularly, and perhaps the Devastator doesn’t have the pod thing the Executor does.
