all but the last one worked .I like the black and white noir look , also reminds me of Metropolis wwith the city scapes . some of the goofiness of the theatrical version still comes through though .If It were me doing this edit , I would completely change the musical score to something more ominous and dark to help balance it out more
yeah , I have seen a few of those , some are very good , I wondered the same thing as they use a lot of comics that are currently on sale
came across this while looking for videos of old 80s big screen tvs ,special effects tv show from the 80s includes Empire and Jedi clips …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YptS_-mCgeE
^ yes , Subotai was in those drafts , I have had the pleasure of reading one of them , he gets hung for thievery in the public square on orders of the town magistrate early in the story and Conan sneaks into the magistrates chambers and kills him , also throws a prostitute who tried to sell him out into a pig pen . Roy Thomas used a lot of elements and scenarios from his early Conan comics and later wrote the Graphic Novel Horn Of Azoth which was a much more serious version based on his early scripts for the film before they butchered the scripts . I am almost as big a Conan fan as I am Star Wars.And yeah , it’s possible.
that is awesome !
check the eggs
^you are correct , the Lore Master’s channel says 2013 was the join date and Star Wars explained was 2014 .Why did the lore master tack on the words Star Wars explained to the title of every video I wonder ?
^but which youtube channel came first ? The lore Master , or Star Wars Explained ?
password for viewing the clips ? looks very interesting , and I like how you are toning down the character of Two Face . They made him seem too much like the Joker in the theatrical release and the character was never meant to be that goofy .
^well , it IS a great D&D campaign
^I take it fictitiously
I just got an oompaloompalert on my phone .
this scene from Conan The Destroyer …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LQTS73rOP8 and pretty much any scene in that film with the character of Malak the thief , especially the Camel scene where he asks Conan if he remembers the camel . WTF , he wasn’t even there , that was Subotai the archer that was with him .
for me , it was in issue 35 of the original Marvel Star Wars comic that Vader learned Luke’s name , and in the Star Wars newspaper strip by Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson , Luke literally led the Rebels to Hoth after accidentally finding the planet by piloting a spaceship into the slip stream of a shower of meteors
^BRILLIANT !!!
synch it to a Bad Company album and it would be rock and roll fantasy ! I got my blu ray copy btw , not crazy about the choice of artwork . got mine at best buy .I like the steelbook art though , just do not want to pony up for the case . 4k does not matter to me , I am fine with 1080p and even dvd on a proper display .
I have a GOOD feeling about this !
the other side
^yes , I like the way they retconned some things into the "legends "cannon , such as the Slivilith beast from Issue 55 of the old Marvel Star Wars being an advanced scout for the Vong . I also remember in the early 90’s when The Marvel series was looked at as kind of a joke and not considered a part of the "official " canon. That is until they decided some of those stories had merit and incorporated them after all . This is a major reason why the Canon VS Legends debate does not and has never mattered to me at all . The original Marvel series was my first expanded universe , then it went away for five years , then more books and comics by other publishers came out , but I could still find that old stuff in back issue bins at comic shops and it still existed . Same as today , I can find that old “legends” material in bookstores , and still in print .

https://www.history.com/news/the-real-history-that-inspired-star-wars As per the parallels to Nixon , it was documented in Rinzler’s Making of Return of The Jedi book and is very much clear if you read the prologue to the novelization of the 1977 film that was ghost written by Alan Dean foster from story conferences with George , Foster also had story conferences with George for Splinter Of The Minds eye . In the Documentary (1983) From Star Wars to Jedi , he makes the connection between Ewoks being like the viet cong as far as primitive technology overcoming high technology ,dropping out of trees, natural traps, using their terrain etc, which was supposed to be the Wookiees in the original drafts of Star Wars .And there are dozens of such interviews from the 80s in magazines like Starlog , Fantastic films , cinefex and others , which I have read over the years , some of which I still have and will try to dig up . I suspect they can be found online somewhere as well .So while the narrative might have been embellished over time , the basic story of the political messages were still there from the beginning . My personal opinion is that they were all just part of the many ingredients Lucas drew from when making the stew that is Star Wars .
George Lucas specifically calls Star Wars a space fantasy in this Rolling Stone interview from 1977 . He created it ,so that is enough for me , and that is all I have to say about that …https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-news/george-lucas-the-wizard-of-star-wars-2-232011/
I wonder if some were in this very thread that seemed to come out of the woodwork , think I may have come across a few on Facebook as well …https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-last-jedi-was-targeted-by-russian-trolls-study-says-1148475
Unfortunately mate, even with a headline of ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi Negative Buzz Amplified by Russian Trolls, Study Finds’ for the article with the link to the study paper in, some will ignore that (and this below)…
“Among the 967 tweets analyzed, 206 expressed a negative sentiment towards the film and its director, which is 21.9% or a little more than one in five fans. This number includes all negative tweets analyzed, i.e. also those who came from the 44 accounts identified as bots, sock puppet accounts and trolls."
… and instead focus on the political aspects of the study - or have a pop at Rian Johnson at even mentioning it (who has stated he doesn’t have a problem with those not liking the film; he does have a problem with the more toxic elements of ‘criticism’ - by that I think he means the racists, sexists, bots and trolls - and likely those who post death threats and announce his death too?).
Johnson himself alluded to Russian bots being behind a campaign to ‘save’ a character in TLJ too in one of the bonus material feature on TLJ blu ray - seems he may have more of an idea what is going than some.
I’ve seen a few people cast doubt as to Russian bots targeting a film - well, it evidently does happen. It’s not an excuse - just a fact, though some people seemingly have difficulty accepting the truth of such a thing. Russian bots and trolls target this very site - frequently - along many more other popular sites.
At least there is the ‘Culture, politics, and diversity in Star Wars’ thread on here to talk about the political aspects of criticisms towards the series (or parts of it).
" Russian bots and trolls target this very site -frequently-along many other popular sites " - I had a strong suspicion this might be the case , especially when I see threads with titles in Russian language that mysteriously pop up in the wee hours between 2 and 4 in the morning and then disappear . As a former mod , I would think you would have first hand knowledge .
present company excluded , was more referring to some who came out of nowhere and never posted elsewhere , the volatile shitposters , some of the volatile shit posters who are no longer around . I could be wrong though , probably am , but was just speculating .here is a real russian bot btw …https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a22802198/russia-unveils-giant-combat-walker/
