The decision in regards to the EU was purely an internal one and Disney had no part in it.

 Stop defending Di$ney. 

 Thank God we can still put dollar signs in these words!

 Yeah. I used to love Disney, but thanks to people putting dollar signs in words, my opinion really changed. There's nothing like a revolutionary and creative act of rebellion to force people to rethink their views. What a great idea.

Episode VII Cast List Announced
Time

No Billy Dee Williams??

And yet Mayhew's in, despite being in a wheelchair. I don't understand how that will work. Did he get those knee replacements? Can he still play Chewie?

I guess they'll have Baker show up for a day or two, squeeze into the can, rotate the lid, shake a little bit, and then remote-control the rest, like the prequels. Please let me know if that's an inaccurate description of his involvement with the prequels.

Of the new folk, the only name I know is Serkis. Guess I need to read about these people.

EPISODE VII

THE FACIAL FOLLICLES OF INFINITY

Many years have passed since
the fall of the EMPIRE, and a
NEW REPUBLIC now flourishes,
with justice and freedom for all.

But a new threat has risen on the
trading world of CORELLIA, in the
form of a terrible PLAGUE. Its
spread is rapid, leaving citizens
with BIG BUSHY BEARDS.

The NEW JEDI ORDER led by
LUKE SKYWALKER now seeks the
source of this whiskery menace,
so that chins may be clean again...

If Lucas was going to nitpick the framing of shots 17 years later, maybe he shouldn't have hired a director and just done it himself to begin with. That's disrespectful to Kershner's original vision of the film HE directed.

 Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

 Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

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

Mithrandir said:

I guess it's allright as long as you fear this stormtrooper.

I actually see what you mean here.

Or even if you don't see how obvious the scale issues are in this image

No, that seems fine to me?

Even here, while a classic angle from the movies, it's completely unjustified for a 3d animation series. I can understand there were issues with the perspective back in the 80's that made them force it in order to have an easier composition, but it's not the case today, and it's completely wrong to still have the TIE fighters be so big next to a cruiser.

Given that, once animated, it'll be in motion, I don't understand your issue here.

Damn those last few screenshots make me so mad!

It isn't just the cropping, it's the messing with Kershner's perfectly composed shots. When there is a shot of Lando mucking about with some Falcon panels, why would you crop out half the panels?

(ESB:R recolouring looks gorgeous btw)

 I completely agree - every frame of this film is masterful composition. Breaking the 4th wall? I completely disagree - it's the inside border of the cockpit (?!), and with the composition intact, it in fact feels more cramped than the cropped shot, because uncropped we can better see the round shape of the cockpit. Oh, and it should go without saying that this is MY OPINION...

 Yes, we're discussing each other's opinions. I hope you don't think "opinion" means we can't criticize it.

Also I agree.
