I’ve yet to see a reason why they were made other than to serve as New Star Wars product.
To be fair, that’s why they made every Star Wars movie after STAR WARS
Did the spider episode and the Krayt Dragon episode get a lot of views or something?
Have not watched Mando S3 and maybe never will, but the spider episode was very scary and I loved it.
Yeah it’s some combination of
Well people who hate young anakin ghost are going to hate this. In a new book they’re going to explain why he’s young as a force ghost.
Which book is this?
“From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi”
Those Certain Point of View books aren’t really canon, I think.
They are.
Not exactly

Yeah I don’t know if that was clear at all.
I wonder why we haven’t had a “Disney Gallery” for Andor yet? With Mando & BOBF we have had these a few weeks after the last episode aired, but no sign of one for Andor. There’s already a BTS for Willow which aired its last episode long after Andor.
Maybe, because they know it’s exactly 2 seasons, and because discussions of some of the story planning stuff would be difficult without getting into spoilers at this point, they’re waiting until after season 2?
And the castle concept came back for Rogue One. I’m glad there were no gremlins.
This is a bit off-topic, but the idea of Vader having a castle was used a bit in the EU: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Bast_Castle
Quoting from the other thread:
In all seriousness, I think what’s missing from the Yub Nub ending is a bit more of the underlying instrumentality that appears near the end of the scene.
100% agree. I’m not a fan of Victory Celebration, but I think the orchestrations give it that slight edge over Yub Nub, even if it is a ripoff. If some orchestra can be added to Yub Nub a little earlier in the track, I think it would be a happy medium. Up to Ady though! It’s his edit after all 😃
No, the other problem with Yub Nub is the chorus singing cheesy lines like “Celebrate the love!”. It’s just too much, particularly on top of that goofy grinning group photo.
I’ve always loved the Luke & Leia track John Williams composed for ROTJ and it’s not really featured in the movie at all. Only the end credits if I remember correctly.
Huh. I can’t believe I haven’t noticed this before.
The flip shots of R2 in the saga are not actually flip shots. They are filmed using R2’s illusive twin brother L2.
I assume he’s owned by Bigger Luke
Maybe he thought Obi-wan had learned the power of shrinking
Obi-Ant Man Kenobi!
Maybe Vader thought Kenobi had tried spinning just before striking him down? Vader does believe that to be a good trick!
He definitely already knew that

I really think that close-up of the two suns is the iconic shot and ought to be kept, at the expense of round suns in the other shots.
But at least I don’t think it should be Skymaster Purple!

Am I the only one who thought the replies sounded a bit sarcastic before actually watching the video? Like, I thought Ady added a ronto walking across the screen or something like that. 😉
Dammit, Ady, we should have waited until April 1st!
It would’ve good to hype it up. Behold the amazing visual effects. You won’t believe your eyes.
and then it’s just like…a pillar.
“Red R2” issue now fixed 😃
Oh my gosh that’s amazing. That’s awesome!
Yeah that shot is rear projection but the planet does not look like Aldetaan. And that is the reason people keep changing it and disliking it It’s totally different. Some old slide projector probably with only 1 slide loaded. I can’t imagine some cassete loaded animation on this considering crew members were shouting “Bang!” This was more likely some sort of aide for the actors nothing more.
No, they would not bother with a rear projection if they were going to replace it later - that would be very difficult/impossible in the days of optical compositing.
Why did you make the second sun more round in the sunset? Being so low, it ought to be elliptical: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_refraction
It’s the same height to the horizon as it would be in the previous shot, with it being only a couple of seconds after that one. I matched both the suns to their previous state. Both suns wouldn’t be so elliptical as they are in the original version.
Personally I’d keep the original close up and fix the previous shot to match, but fair enough either way. Thanks for explaining.

Also, I’m not sure the red Artoo recolor is a good idea. I know why you’ve done it, but it looks so similar to Artoo (because, of course, it is) that it’s really distracting. Better to allow the viewer’s eye to focus where it ought (Luke & Obiwan) than to fix a minor issue.
I must atmist I found (not) R2 distracting in that shot, I replayed it a couple of time to understand what had been done. While it does fix that small blocking issue, I’ve gotta say it doesnt feel like its had the right affect. I know its a finished shot so I get its probably something you don’t want to go back to, but if you do, you could try chaning the (not) R2 to a different coloured unit. Like seen in earlier shots. There is one with a black Body and white panels I think, and another that is yellow. But as it stands the chome dome, and white body just screems R2-D2 even if the pannels are red. The only other thing I can think of is to keep (new) R2-D2 in frame a little longer so you have time to spot him.
It’s also because the Red Artoo is so close to our heroes that he’s obviously traveling with them. It’s jarring and distracting.

Luke: It’s gotta be the flight suit: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Rebel_flight_suit?file=Luke_Skywalker_pilot.png
Leia: It’s definitely Hoth
Han: the ESB jacket
So basically just ESB
Some great B-wing footage in 4K-

It is, though I find the movement of the B-Wings, particularly near the end, to be somehow unconvincing.
To be fair, we still don’t know that it isn’t his home planet. Where did Yaddle and Grogu come from? Their people don’t even have a name! If ever there was a species whose home world would be entirely unknown to the Republic, it’s them.
The only downside to this theory is the dearth of anyone else on Dagobah. Is Grogu the last of his kind? Did some kind of catastrophe wipe out everyone on the planet sometime before ROTS? (echoes of the old “Naboo will become Dagobah” theory from the early 2000s). On the other hand, how and why did Yoda come to know of Dagobah?
I guess it can’t be entirely unknown, since Luke was able to get there after a ghost told him the name of the system (and nothing else).
I’m going to assume this is well known by now, but wow the shuttle is way too big leaving the Stardestroyer’s docking bay in the opening shot.
Oh that is weird
Apparently in the Ahsoka show we will see a glimpse of an alternate timeline where she never left the Jedi order and she’s the one fighting Anakin on mustafar instead of obiwan.
I mean that just sounds like a dream or a vision
