Well, the difference is about 7 seconds on a two hour movie. If you want to cut out those extra 7 seconds, go for it. Others might not see it as a worthwhile endeavour.
A story of Obi-Wan doing what he can to keep Luke, the single most unlucky kid on Tatooine, alive, while having to prevent his and Luke’s identity from being revealed. Hijinks ensue when Luke inadvertently walks into a den of some of Jabba’s worst smugglers and hitmen.
I just previewed a bit of the TN1 v 1.6 and was wondering what audio track they used? The reason I ask is I noticed a scene which I havent heard in many years. The chasm scene and the echoes of Luke and Leia. I know this has been mentioned in other threads, but I have no idea where, so I thought Id ask here. Is the delayed, extreme echo version what was in the theatres or was it a TV thing? I just cant remember. But I do distinctly remember hearing it many years ago and then noticing when it was changed.
I listened to Despecialized, and the echo is on the 5.1 recreation, the Stereo recreation, and the both of the laserdisc mixes.
Notably, it is not on the mono mix, which as I understand is what the special edition based most of its sounds on.
EDIT: As for what SSE used, if it’s similar to the 1.0 release, it uses the '93 laserdisc, best as I can tell.
That’s going in my signature, thanks for finding it.
Huh, I got the impression it was. Might be just be some misconceptions from where I’ve been listening around.
According to the official databank, the deformation is purely because of lightning melting his face in the current canon, not an ulterior method. http://www.starwars.com/databank/palpatine-biography-gallery (The image with Palpatine’s “Unlimited Power” face has the caption you’re looking for)
That leaves the method by which Luke didn’t get deformed a mystery, but for that:
You’re all thinking too hard. By which I mean you’re trying to impose logic on GL’s prequel thought process. By which I mean you’re attributing a thought process to the making of the prequels.
I think there’s a point where we’re just not going to get it, regardless of if you have every detail right or not.
“Pretty Nice,” if I recall.
You see, this is why I don’t like A-wing fans. The ship is alright, but the fans just get so up in your face about it, especially if you mention a preference for other Star Wars ships.
I haven’t touched the aftermath stuff, but I loved Bloodline (I listened to it as an Audiobook.) Casterfo is a great character, Leia’s disillusionment with the Republic is given plausible reasoning, the fact the First Order was able to grow to the size it is in the movies is given a decent explanation (Though I do not know how plausible the scheme is). That it helps set up what the OT characters were doing before everything went South is a nice plus.
I honestly believe this book should be read by everyone who wants to understand the direction the Sequel Trilogy might take, and why things are the way they are. Supposedly Rian Johnson helped set up the Centrist/Populist divide, so how it plays into Ep VIII remains to be seen.
I mean, I’d love for it to be a battle of words, rather than action, but “We stand here shouting for five hours to charge our Force Ball so that we can crush the enemy,” would be a bit much.
My preference for Palpatine would be to use the Mind trick more frequently, using others as meat shields, forcing them to fight each other instead of him. It’d be a great sign of just how proficient he is with the force to show him controlling those we normally believe to be strong minded.
Things not to get into a debate over: What a fight between Palpatine and Yoda would look like if they didn’t use lightsabers.
Somebody said it’d kind of look like Dragonball, or something close to what we actually did get in Revenge, minus the lightsabers. I suggested it’d be more of a battle of wits, with a bit of mind control, and somehow that evolved into “But the entirety of Revenge showed us that drawn out chess game between Yoda and Palpatine”.
So on Rian Johnson’s twitter feed, he’s said that apparently his source of creative inspiration was Spielberg movies, Raiders in particular. https://twitter.com/rianjohnson/status/756798427242135553
Could be interesting, could be a terrible idea. Might mean we get another storm trooper that tries to baton Finn a la FN-2199, only to be shot.
I know for distance traversed there was going to be a deleted scene of them using vehicles to get from point a to point b on SKB (said scene is on the Special features in the official release, as we presumably know)
I don’t see why Hyperspace death rays are shocking, We could simply assume it’s a recalibrated version of the technology used for hyperspace holotransmissions.
So on the rogue one spoiler thread somebody posted the celbration exclusive posters for TFA. As I had not been to Celebration events, I didn’t see them until now. And I figured here was a better place to talk about the TFA posters than on the RO thread.
for reference, this is the specific poster I’m referring to, but there is another.
I kind of wish this was the official theatrical poster. It fits the art style of the other Star Wars posters better than the one we ended up getting as the official poster.
He says what we’re all thinking.
Why is the Ugnaught willing to break a deal because he couldn’t have a double chair?
EDIT: Or am I mishearing and he said double share?
Is that sabre sinking into the ground?
Is it just a mechanical device in the blade causing the illusion, or is the sabre actually sinking into the ground as it looks like it is?
I didn’t say the name because I wasn’t sure if this was the right thread for it, but yes. That is his name.
It’s not the worst name in Star Wars history. I could see someone being named that. Mind, I personally would’ve enjoyed a scene where it’s revealed that his first name really was General.
Aftermath: Life Debt revealed Hux’s first name. I wonder if we’ll see it used or not. I doubt it, personally, but it’d be neat to see.
The way they tried to blend Anakin’s face and Darth Vader’s Helmet leaves much to be desired, as well. You get very little of Vader, half of Hayden, and then that weird kludge in between the two.
that R2 unit looks uncomfortable in that socket.
If it wasn’t for R2-D2 leaving the jedi starfighter when they boarded the cruiser in RotS, I’d rather believe they simply detached and reattached the head of their astromechs in flight. It’d make the design make some sense while still allowing Artoo to follow them around in space.
Bringing this back to its original topic:
I want a scene with the Falcon fighting alongside X-Wings, if only to hear the fusion of the rebel motif with March of the Resistance that would surely result.
I used to like Star Wars only for the jedi, but as time went on, I realized I much prefer the space dogfights.
