You can imagine how cool it must’ve been for audiences to have each character slowly be revealed to them after not seeing them for 3 years.
Twelfth Night - 1996
The wife and I attempted this one, because she remembered it being good. The source material is good, as is the cast…but we gave up after a half an hour. It was neither funny nor engaging, and suffered from so many bad-Shakespeare-adaptation tropes.
Surprisingly, I think Darth Vader never sits down in Return of the Jedi. Objectively.
WRONG! If you watch the deleted scenes, he CLEARLY sits down right after arriving on the Death Star in order to contact Luke and persuade him to join the dark side. You utter imbecile. You should be ashamed of yourself. 😉
You’re right.
I guess the only time he sits in ANH is in the TIE Fighter? I’m pretty sure he always stands in the conference room
Was the shoe erased in cleanup? Or were the Battle scenes recomposited at some point and the shoe omitted?
Most, if not all, of the effects shots were recomposited for the Special Edition. This allowed them to fix problems like TIE fighters appearing out of nowhere or transparent spaceship parts (and many more) but also lead to problems like omitting flying shoes
Not for ROTJ. Not a lot of the shots were recomposited. The TIEs still appear out of nowhere. The shot with the shoe was the famous one where the TIEs go through the Falcon, so this was recomposited. But most of the shots in ROTJ were left alone
Oh! My mistake!
As an adaptation/modernization of the old books… a series would be wonderful

To bring it back to this film, I wonder if the “New Jedi Order” label on this film’s timeframe is indicative in any way of the larger story they’ll be looking to tell post TROS (much like all the pseudo-Zahnian stuff going on w/ Ahsoka & co). They’ve already taken the general idea of a mysterious figure corrupting a student (Kyp Durron/Ben Solo), so… I dunno, I guess we’ll see.
I have to say, having someone say the words “Heir to the Empire” is a little on the nose
If they’re smart, they’ll do it essentially like a soft reboot, in that all the questions fans have about Palpy, the Force Dyad, Rey’s power-level, etc will be secondary to basic facts and there will be no expectation that you need to have seen the Numbered Episodes recently to follow the story. Basic facts would be:
And then, if they’re smart, they’ll never make another Numbered Episode again
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!
Maybe he thought Obi-wan had learned the power of shrinking
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.
