Are all these youtube critics making money off this sort of thing? If so, maybe we should start making our own TLJ sucks Bantha balls! type videos and fund the projects around here. 😛

So what you’re saying is…

That’s how we’re gonna win. Not fighting what we hate, saving what we love…

😉 😃

We certainly seem to have enough resolute folks to achieve this if the TLJ threads are anything to go by.
 

There you go lads & ladesses - $100k is the goal. Good luck. Let the hate flow through you… (and the click-bait too)

Holiday Special Disc Art?
Time

It’s probably worth trying a few google image searches - or a few of the many cover sites listed in the Index thread (they often have disc art too).

Could also be an idea to find a Holiday Special image you like - and use that as a template for some disc art.
 

^ from http://forum.rifftrax.com/index.php?topic=6426.15

 

Good luck with it - please post up what you do find and use 😃

Couldn’t make it past 25 seconds mate

😮

Why not?

Firstly, the title of the youtube video: ‘The More Rian Johnson Talks, The Worse He Makes Things’ - not a good start.

Secondly, the opening 25 seconds: ‘… that just kind of gives more proof that this man [Rian Johnson] has no idea how to honour Star Wars whatsoever. So let’s jump right into it - this is from EntertainmentWeeklydotcom…’

I’m not going to waste my time watching a video like that - based on article which I’ve already read, where balance and insight are already in short supply (I am referring to the video, the EW article was just fine) - it’s just not something that I’d enjoy, or want to watch.
 

Fair play to you if that’s your thing and you enjoy it. Nice one.

<strong>STAR WARS: REBELS</strong> (animated tv series) - a general discussion thread
Time

rodneyfaile said:

I’ve been a big fan of Rebels and I think the finale was perfect. Rebels compliments and enhances the Original Trilogy in much the same way Rogue One does.

How long before spoilers can be discussed openly?

Change of plan mate - the thread title has been edited with a warning that this thread contains spoilers for the last 3 episodes of the show - so everyone feel free to talk about them openly.

Revenge of the Jedi (The Snooker edit) (Cancelled: *unfinished project *)

Anakin Starkiller said:

I think the Sovereign-class looks dumb, and intend to use the Eclipse-class for my edit. However, you did a nice job with the CGI of the shuttle and fighters. Would it be possible for you to provide me those with just a greenscreen behind?

If you made the effort to post that you thought the ‘Sovereign-class looks dumb’ perhaps you could also explain why? Or maybe think of a better way of saying you didn’t think it looked right, because…

I’ve been buying the Best Buy steelbooks for the Disney era Star Wars movies and will do the same with the Last Jedi. Do you think its worth it to get the 4K one instead of just the regular blu ray? I don’t have a 4K TV or player yet but was wondering if it would be a good idea to future proof.

Ignore what Collipso says, mate 😉
 

Personally, I’d opt for the 4K Steelbook version - it’s only a $5 difference, and these things should last a good few years - so will be ok for if/when you do get a 4K tv.

I think it’s a big misunderstanding to say that Kathleen Kennedy put that scene in the film but I’ve seen a few people suggest that. What Rian said was that Kathleen was interested in seeing Leia show force powers, it’s a stretch to believe that Kathy decided how they should be shown. She would leave the writing to the writer.

That section of the interview starts at about 19:20.

Nice that they gave her some Force-related scenes but they didn’t bother to make her relevant to the plot other than being an RotJ Ackbar-like character like in TFA (what I mean is: she’s the boss of the rebel band… and that’s it). These are the priorities.

Honestly, how is this a big improvement over RotJ? Or even the entire OT? Because Leia didn’t have a character arc in the OT other than a devolution of her character in the Jabba scenes (“Who cares about the galaxy? I must save my love interest!”). And the twist in RotJ had no impact to the story other than two bits of the climax (the Vader-Luke duel and solving the love triangle after the destruction of the second Death Star). And it’s quite sad how Han and Luke gets all the attention in the ST, even after leaving the rest of the galaxy at the mercy of the First Order, but Leia remains all the whole time, creates a paramilitary force and warns the New Republic and yet she’s mostly a background character in these movies.

Sorry, I’m really disappointed with how they have handled the female characters in the Disney movies. They’re not really a huge improvement compared with the Lucas era, other than being more in number, technically being the main protagonists and the lack of sexualization/forced romance.

I think Carrie Fisher is on record as saying that Episode 9 was to be ‘her’ film? (in regards of the 3 main OT cast… Han got most of the scenes in TFA, Luke had most of TLJ, and that IX would Leia’s) - obviously, and sadly, that is no longer going to be the case.
