I really look forward to that script.
Yub nub is okay, but I can't stand "CELEBRATE THE LOVE / CELEBRATE THE LIGHT / CELEBRATE THE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE"
Yeah, I really do like the 97 or 04 versions of the ROTJ ending.
<p>You don't need the knighting scene at all. Anakin's dead, Palpy controls the galaxy. Credits. Opening Scroll of ANH introduced Darth Vader and BOOM there is the new bad guy. Obi-wan blames Vader for Ani's death and the viewer sees Obi lying to set Luke up to want to take out Vader - which, given Yoda's reaction to the news of Luke learning the truth, seems like a reasonable guess at their plan.</p>
<p>I do like keeping in delivering the babies to Alderaan and Tatooine, so that we know who Luke is when we see him. The bro-sis reveal in ROTJ is not that great, is it?</p>

Akwat, are you sure NBC wasn't broadcasting game of one of the other channels it has be using during the Olympics?
Akwat said:
their online streaming site requires you to have cable service, which I don't.
He's only using broadcast TV, which means he only has the one channel, not the extra ones (MSNBC, etc).
Star Wars quote...
Would the time travel elements of the story allow them to write-off the existing X-Men films (excluding First Class, obviously) as alternate universe, ala Trek?
People have noted this, but others have explained it away. I don't recall how.
Yeah, I don't see any meaningful difference there.
<p>Yeah, I dunno what's going on with the editor.</p>
<p>That being said, if we're talking about ROTJ Wishlist (which...we are), I'd put back in Moff J's later scenes.</p>
<p>Because the scene on the shores of the river is pretty good. Or, at least, it's pretty good for the PT.</p>

<p>I <em>still</em> think that you could just cut out Vader's arrival in the beginning of <strong>JEDI</strong> and just start with C3P0 and R2 walking up to Jabba's palace, and leave the reveal of the Death Star 2 when the Emperor arrives. Vader's arrival to the DS2 adds nothing and is redundant, as we're reintroduced to the DS2 with the Emperor.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Disagree. Vader's arrival and conversation with Moff J sets up the ominous news that "The Emperor is coming here?!". The fear in J's voice, followed by his immediate, trembling resolve to redouble his efforts, tell the viewer a <em>lot</em> about the Emperor.</p>
<p>What if it's okay for everyone to be tan in this movie?</p>
I still don't see why they can't make sequels with different actors, where Bruce returns to Gotham and reunites with Robin. Seems obvious to me.
How are you accomplishing this? Does it mean you'll be able to release audio tracks with all of Anakin's dialogue silenced, for other actors to give it a try?
If Batman went into politics, I hope his first act as President would be to make laws forcing Ridley Scott to make Prometheus make sense!
So, I've read that a short film (now unfortunately lost?) was shown in front of ESB in 1980. What else would have been shown? If you saw Star Wars in 1977, ESB in 80 or ROTJ in 83, what was shown before the film? I assume trailers, but I'd like to know which.
Oh man. I missed that.
Welp, I feel dumb now.

Huh?
Sorry, I was needlessly obtuse, probably because I deal with computers all day.
When you have 10 kilobytes, you don't have 10,000 bytes. You have 10*1024 bytes. Because 1024 is a power of 2, and that's binary and that's how computers work. So 2K is gonna be a multiple of 2...because computers. It doesn't really need to be that way, you could obviously make 2000 the standard if you wanted...but old ways die hard. It's probably that the cost of the difference between 2000 and 2K is minimal or 0, so why not extra pixels.
Ah, but you forget: Computers.
Yeah, that's the dummy that they used for the pyrotechnics of his death. Its visible for ~1 frame intact and looks, as you can see, a bit funny.
And yeah, these do seem over sharpened.

Second, film has infinite resolution.
Oh really?
Information on film goes down to the atomic level.
Oh, so not really. Cool.

if he intends to do that, why'd he make it look like Batman is dead? No, it is clear that Bruce intends to give up Batman forever and that is not the Bruce Wayne we know and love.
I'm not even saying that Bruce, when choosing to fake his death, intends to return as Batman. Bruce intends to be done with it...but that doesn't mean that in a few years, he won't get that itch and come back. Nolan leaves the door open for either possibility.
it was clear in Begins that he is dead.
He was dead the same way Ra's al Ghul is ever dead. Yes, we last saw him a in fiery train crash. Does that mean that members of the League didn't extract his body and plop it into the nearest Lazarus pit? The fact that we never saw his corpse has left this open since Begins came out, and Ra's appearance in Rises only continues this.
nothing, my point is there is no way a Bruce would go away with a criminal, especially one that set him up with Bane and is partly responsible for all the death and destruction he caused.
She set Batman up to get his ass kicked by Bane.
Like I said, she turned around, changed sides, redeemed herself, etc. It's character development.
But is Robin really as good a protector as Batman?
Bruce seems to think so, enough to restore the signal. Heck, given that he's not insane with grief and knows how to handle emotions, maybe he'll be better in some ways. Until the end of this film, Bruce is a deeply flawed guy with serious problems (see: 8 years as a recluse).
