>>77533280
thank you for no using a feet pic in OP
>>77533280
More shit fetish stuff?
>>77533280
i don't like this pic
>>77533320
Nice double standard, faggot
This show is terrible.
>>77533430
The new comics leave something to be desired too.
But hey, it's something to watch.
>>77533478
The ones which aren't the main comic are pretty good though.
So, in the new Canon, the Empire isn't speciest anymore?
>>77533516
They aren't, though. Not a single one of them has risen above the level of 'eh, I guess that was okay'.
>>77533478
Oh no its replacing the shitty sotme book in canon. You do realize Vader and Luke had already net each other before empire before Disney took control right?
>>77533516
When is this meme going to end?
I've just started watching this show, pretty interesting so far.
Also the fact that they've put David Niven in space has already put me greatly in it's favour.
We're off to a great start.
At last the OP didn't post shitty giantess/feet "art".
>>77533404
Nah', it's pretty clearly much better than feet/giantess shit.
>>77533589
No one said anything about anything being replaced or Luke and Vader meeting. Just that the book sucks.
You always get this triggered when someone calls out your shit taste?
These threads have always been uncomfortably sexual, but why the hell have the OPs been stepping it up lately?
>>77533658
You missed several shitposting threads about that image whining how it ruined empire.
>>77533478
The Darth Vader series is fantastic
>>77533568
Not against humanoids.
They seem to dislike furry species a lot still though.
>>77533631
The double standard is strong with this one.
>>77533631
It's literally the same thing and you're only okay with it because you're a "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE" faggot. Please fuck off and stop shitting up what was once an entertaining thread to post in.
Holy shit this place brings out the idiots.
>>77533719
And you clearly missed the actual book, because it sucks.
>>77533578
>>77533603
Opinions. I like em.
>>77533724
>They seem to dislike furry species a lot still though.
Who doesn't?
>>77533674

You a prude?
>>77533724
>They seem to dislike furry species a lot still though.
As they should.
>>77533760
Nah, I'm enjoying them all. You're welcome to your opinion though.
>>77533589

>>77533773
WELL I THOUGHT EWOKS WAS A PRETTY GOOD CARTOON FOR IT'S TIME
>>77533860
That was my time, and no, it wasn't.
>>77533578
Seriously? You and I disagree. The only one I didn't like was Leia.
>>77533603
When it stops being true
>>77533829
>>77533829
>Nah, I'm enjoying them all
That's too bad. You should read this.
>>77533860
I kinda like the ewoks in ROTJ, but it became a bit too much to have them in anything else. Also the tone in the cartoon was wildly off for Star Wars. It was essentially just a thinly veiled Care Bears cartoon with magic and monsters.
>your show is shit
>your comics are shit
why are these shitposters allowed to post on /co/? Surely going to a board/posting in threads to do nothing but shit on the subject/content is ban worthy, right?
>>77533899
EUfags everyone
>>77533907
Calling it a Care Bears cartoon is a bit harsh, it's more a generic fantasy show to be honest. However I do appreciate the fact it along with Droids tried to expand upon the Star Wars universe.
>>77533916
oh no! people don't like what I like! My hugbox is ruined! Somebody ban them!!!
>>77533083
>Kylo Ren is this universe's version of Jacen and Rey is Jaina.
>Or they better be, or I'm fucking done with Star Wars forever.
Why? The Solo twins were among the most awful things in the old EU.
Also, Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley are like a decade apart in age. There's no way they can be twins.
>>77530161

>>77533997
You're right man, imma be just like you. brb, imma go post in a couple dozen threads to shit on the topics! I don't even have to bother watching them!
>>77533978
Yeah, a little too harsh, I agree. But it had a very whimsical tone to it. But yeah, it did at least try to expand the SW universe early, and in fact was one of the first "Expanded Universe" things (only preceded by the Marvel comic, Splinter of the Mind's Eye and possibly the Han Solo novels, I think).
I don't think the future EU writers ever did a lot with the stuff from Ewoks and Droids, though. The Dark Horse comics were related to the shows in name only more or less.
>>77534011
Driver and Ridley are 8 years apart, Hamill and Fisher were 5
>>77534053
I've watched every episode of Rebels. I'm a fan of Clone Wars, of Greg Weisman, and I even know people who work on the show.
It's not a very good show. Even when you try to go "It's just Star Wars! It doesn't have to be good!"
nth for Sheev and his fully operational fresh moves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84YXPw4htnQ
>>77534082
Well I think the Dark Horse comic did a pretty good job, obviously the tone for the show was more kid friendly but then there were moments like these freaky things...
>>77534011
Mark Hamil and Carrie Fisher aren't the same age either.
People in their 30's continue to portray high school students. Do you know anything about how stuff actually plays out on screen?
>>77534127
I'm not saying you have to like it or that it's good. But dont waste your time being a shitter and coming to a thread just to shit on it. It does no good for anybody.
>>77533899
Hands down my favorite Star Wars comic and I'm enjoying A New Dawn
I hope Miller gets another Star Wars comic
>>77533320
nth for B-Wing being made by a manlet
>>77534213
You're right. Better just talk about how we love this show so this fucking guy stops his tantrum.
Star Wars Rebels is a masterpiece and I enjoy it so much! It's SOOOO GOOD U GUYS OMG
fuck off.
>>77534213
You don't have to act like the show is perfect either, 2bh.
>>77534279
That's what we're missing from Marvel currently, a long, ongoing comic about a character not from the films or showsI miss the years when We had Legacy, KOTOR, and Dark Times ongoing at the same time
>>77534305
It was?
>>77533280
That's lewd. More Padmae ass.
>>77534213
How butthurt are you? This is a thread for discussing the show. That doesn't mean we only talk about how much we like it.
>>77534391
I doubt we'll get an expansion on the Star Wars universe for a while. They've taken the internet too seriously and now they think the only thing that could possibly interest a person is the OT and related shit.
God forbid we tell stories of the Old Republic or even get the fucking Clone Wars era in Star Wars Battlefront.
>>77534213
>muh safe space
Get bent
>>77534499
I'm fine with them staying in the movie era for now, and even mostly the OT because that's what's hot at the moment, I just hope they move on to non-movie characters eventually. What we've gotten out of Marvel so far is
>Vader
>Lando
>Chewie
>Leia
>General Star Wars (aka Luke)
>and Kanan (which was the best one imo)
I know how it works. Whenever a company gets its hands on the IP, they go to the staples first. Hopefully after TFA drops we'll see them widen the scope
>>77534641
>Hopefully after TFA drops we'll see them widen the scope
It'll widen. To TFA stuff. And nothing more. No the focus isn't to build a universe. It's to cash in.
>>77534705
Honestly that's fine. I don't dislike the OT era by any means, but it's by far the most overexposed time period. Books and comics about the new era beats another story of vader being vader
>>77534705
They're more interested in building a post TFA canon they control 100%.
>>77534797
We need adventures from the Old Republic.
has anyone posted up Insider 161's short story (Inbrief) or the most recent Rebels magazine comic (Assessment) yet? I saw in the previous thread that someone said a few threads ago someone else posted some Rebels magazine scans but that they didnt know if they were the most recent and i couldnt find anything
Why did Jj forget that this new star wars movie is a sequel and not a reboot
>>77534851
What leads you to believe it's a reboot?
>>77534166
So this is the kinect game that everyone was all riled up about? This is fucking hilarious. I don't understand why Star Wars fans are so sensitive.
>>77534864
>empire in charge
>jedi dead
>fucking death star
It's the exact same as episode 4 just replace Luke with a black guy and Ben kenobi with Han
>>77534840
I don't think anyone posted any scans of anything. As for insider, no one has said anything about that either.
>>77534913
So? It's like pottery.
>>77534840
>has anyone posted up Insider 161's short story (Inbrief)
Nope, there is a delay on Insider 161 due to some sort of error on the Zinio's side(the company that publishes the digital version)
>or the most recent Rebels magazine comic (Assessment) yet?
Don't think so.
>I saw in the previous thread that someone said a few threads ago someone else posted some Rebels magazine scans but that they didnt know if they were the most recent and i couldnt find anything
I posted links to Issue #9 and #10 a few threads ago but not sure if #10 was the latest.
>>77534918
I've actually updated several times the status of the digital version.
>>77534913
Then don't watch it, and go cry in a corner with your Vong books.
>>77534913
>empire in charge
Of what? For all we know it's just one sector. The Empire was never going to vanish when the Emperor died. It instead fractured into a bunch of sub factions each led by the Moffs.
This has nothing to do with JJ.
>fucking death star
Yeah I don't like this one at all. Got me there.
>>77534831
Agreed, but I don't expect anything besides passing references for years
Besides, as far as i'm concerned everything self-contained in the pre-TPM EU still happened until contradicted, especially stuff so long ago it has no effect on the film eraI;m aware it's just headcanon bs, I just figure there's no hard so long as it's in an untouched region
>>77534960
Better the vong than more fucking empire and death stars and sith
>>77534960

>A lightsaber crystal is colorless until first attuned and connected to a Jedi -- at which times it glows either blue or green, or in some rare instances, another shade. From that point on, it retains that hue.
What are your thoughts on this?
>>77534934
>>77534960
I'm actually curious.. Do you guys want Episode IV Part II or new plot development?
>>77534960
>don't like, don't watch
Wow, really? Did I click on a Youtube comment section?
>>77534992
The fact that there are stormtroopers everywhere and Han said the jedi are dead makes it obvious that they still control the whole galaxy
>>77535035
You know what I really want to see?
More Tyber Zann
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRyNLNf9BMA
But in all seriousness, wait until the movie comes out before complaining about it.
>>77535048
Not really. Seeing a few hundred troopers doesn't indicate they control the whole galaxy.
All signs point to it being a small sector in the outer rim that the New Republic politically doesn't want to get involved in, hence the separate Resistance faction
>>77535024
Meh, it's whatever. Just means Jedi don't pick their color anymore.
Also in the new canon does Luke still use a synthetic crystal for his second saber?
>>77535024
That's fine with me. The crystal and the Jedi are bound together with the Force.
>>77535035
New plot development and less OT pandering to generation-x.
>>77535024
pottery
>>77535024
When the explanation for something is space magic, they were probably better off not not explaining at all.
>>77535130
You know, the whole midichlorians thing would have gone down a lot better if it was just force gamma radiation or something.
>>77535035
New plot development.
Nostalgia pandering isn't healthy for the creative industry nor movie goers. The bubble will pop eventually.
>>77535035
More PT pandering to Generation Y
>>77535130
Dude. It's fucking Star Wars.
>>77535067
There's a reference to the Zann Consortium in Uprising.
>>77535196
Shut up
>>77535222What's Uprising?
>>77535067
I remember the first time I heard this. Gave me chills. Tyber Zann may have been mary sue as fuck, but he was also intimidating as fuck.
>>77535240
TOMORROW SHALL NOT COME
>>77535130
When your protagonists are samurai warrior psychics, space magic has an explanation makes sense.,
>>77535024
I'm cool with this. Though I guess it isn't the same color with every crystal. Ahsoka had a green one and a slightly yellow one.
>>77535094
>Also in the new canon does Luke still use a synthetic crystal for his second saber?
Don't think it's been brought up as far as I know. Didn't even know he used a synthesized crystal since I thought those were all red. Also what second lightsaber? I thought he only ever had one. Unless you consider his "first one" to be Anakin's, which I don't.

A pretty good mobile game.
>>77535067
I want an underworld comic now.
One that focuses on the shitflinging between the major underworld powers. Black Sun, Hutt cartels, and yes lest throw in Tyber Zann.
The focus should be on underlings rather than the big bosses themselves though.
>>77535235
mobile game taking place after RotJ
>>77535222

>Mace Windu
>blue
>Ki-Adi-Mundi
>purple
Wut
>>77535289
The real thing that makes lightsabers hard to wield is big fucking buttons protruding from the handle. Anyone who owns a replica Luke or Vader saber knows it.
>>77535117
>Less OT pandering
So you want shittier stories about LOOOOVE and POTTERY?
>>77535297
>>77535303
Is it some 'free' to play stuff or actually well thought out?
>>77535301
I'd read it.
>>77535303
Some of the members of your crew belong to the Consortium, I think there's also a few references in crew missions, they also referenced Grievous' lab in Belsus.
>>77535323
That's actually the color their sabers were shown as in comics before AotC
>>77535164
Honestly, the movies may not be the best but the PT inspired a LOT of great Star Wars stuff. That deserves more spotlight.
>>77535380
Oh yeah, now I remember. Plo Koon's lightsaber used to be yellow.
>>77534957
thanks for the info. disappointing that neither has been uploaded yet but i suppose they'll show up eventually. i'm really interested in Assessment since Zare apparently shows up in it and it's probably the last time we'll see Aresko and Grint
>>77535357
>So you want shittier stories about LOOOOVE and POTTERY?
If those are done well, then sure. But mostly I want something new instead of OT 2.0.
>Edgy kids on /co/ trying to act cool saying they like the prequels
>>77535373
>>77535301
>>77535067
I always wondered why Tyber Zann never really made any appearances outside that game. He and his organization, however you feel about them being overpowered, were pretty cool.
Is there any in-universe reason why the Rebels shoot red lasers and the Empire shoots green lasers?
>>77535325
Can confirm. With Anakin's I usually just lay my right thumb on the button and wrap the rest of my right hand around from there. Luke's green saber is stupid uncomfortable.
Obi and Qui-Gon TPM are most comfortable by far IMO. Most elegant as well.
>>77535289
In Legends Luke had a synthetic crystal. I think the giveaway was the consistently different noise it made, but IIRC the other Jedi lightsabers in ROTS spontaneously use that noise as well.
>>77535436
Wait, Assessment has Aresko Grint and Zare in it? As the main characters and not Cameos?
Who makes these comics again?
>>77535441
>Some oldfag who's still butthurt that the PT wasn't just more of the OT like he envisioned it would be and it killed his hype back in 99.
>>77535444
Tradition. Well till the Rebels storyline creates rainbow lasers for the Gay characters.
These last few threads are been terrible and filled with shitposting. Guess it's time to start the TFA blackout early.
>>77535035
new plot development of course
the plot of TFA is essentially the three OT movies smushed together to make the ultimate nostalgia wankfest, with some interesting twists. it's disappointing. i know that in the end it will probably be very enjoyable and pottery will be abundant, and that the plot is really merely there to drive the characters, and that execution is more important than originality. i get that.
but the prequels showed - whether you like them or not (and i do like them) - that star wars can and should be more than just what the OT was, and that the underlying "poetry" doesnt literally have to be the same thing repeating
>>77535536

>>77535442
Likewise, I really liked the Zann Consortium but in retrospect a map-based RTS game was probably the wrong genre to introduce such a character. As the general nature of the genre's gameplay favours factions that can muster huge forces. Thus leading to his OPness.
Even so, I do like the idea of these powerful crime lords operating small planetary empires out of sight of the big players...

>>77535790

>>77536068

In all seriousness, I take your point. Though I'd argue bird aliens are less common that fuggin catgirls.
>>77536135Shit, forgot to post my hilarious same name different people image.
>>77535923
Worst things you can say about TPM (IMO) is that some of the delivery can be flat, especially Portman's (and George's trademark clunky dialogue doesn't help) and that's it's a really fucking convoluted movie. There are a lot of things that add up and make it hard to follow if you're not paying 100% attention, like the lack of a central protagonist, the very shadowy nature of the plot, the editing, clunky yet vague dialogue etc.
It really is a very George Lucas movie. All of his strengths shine through but so too do all of his weaknesses.
You're all arguing against brick-walls.
This was supposed to be a cool place. A place where we could talk about giving C-3PO overt glaring sexual organs and constantly teasing him about them in public.You were supposed to be the chosen one.
>>77536079
There's a good Clone Wars total conversion mod.
There's another one called Absolute Corruption, which is nuts. Other than that, I've played the Mass Effect and Star Trek mods, and they're pretty cool.
>>77534866
In fairness I don't think there was an even decent star wars game between the first force unleashed and that
when that's literally all you've got after quite a lot of nothing it's understandable to be assblasted.
In the grand scheme of things I also find it fucking hilarious though.
>>77536223
I hope you're just referring to games in that generation/console, because there are a *load* of good Star Wars games.
>>77536210
>>77536079

>place that you can't film on earth
>why the fuck wasn't it filmed without cgi
Dude.
What the fuck would be done otherwise?
Matte paintings?
Using cgi to impose them on a miniature set, which they did a fuck load of times in the PT anyways?
Some unrealistically dangerous/expensive alternative?
Or just change the story because some nerds might get salty you couldn't find an active volcanic hellscape to film your actors sword fighting in?
And then there's Coruscant, Naboo, geonosis, etc, which either don't have somewhere like them on earth, or you can't really film there for one reason or another.
And he did film in a desert when they were on tatooine since that was easy enough.
I mean at least be fair in the criticism dude.
What's your mindset?
>no the writer should change their story and passion because IIIIIII don't like how it looks very much
I mean that's what I see, but please tell me what it is so I can understand and not be frustratingly confused by your issue with cgi.

He did say "between TFU and that", and he'd be right, it was a dark age for SW games, a dark age I'd argue isn't over yet.
>>77536103
I guess he should've found a real Lava Planet.
As much CG was in the prequels, people need to stop pretending that's all there was.

Oh yeah, they never built a thing.
Dudes, Lucas sent a crew to an actual erupting volcano to get footage for the battle on Mustafaar. No one actually knows what they're talking about when they try to argue this. They watch a RLM video and think they know everything already.

Hollywood uses CG as a crutch instead of a tool to actually make movies. Lucas relied on it way too fucking much for the PT. Moviemakers have made movies for a long time without using CG. Lucas only did it because it was the new shit.
People like you probably love every fucking movie hollywood makes now a days. CG is literally ruining movies, but no one cares because "Oh it looks pretty!"

Tfa hype ain't helping, but this has been an issue for months. It's not just /tv/ or a Wook editor, either, though they don't fucking help.
I think it's a dual victim complex.
Think about it:
>both see the other as the oppressive group trying to silence them, so they don't think reasoning with them is worth much effort, since it'll only be a pause before the other tries to shut them up again
>both can react negatively to suggesting we drop the subject and not get up in this argument again, saying such actions are just giving in to a hugbox or being a douchey nerd/fedora lord, etc
>but both hate a real oppressive group like Wook mods or the monthly /tv/ raiders
We're like Rex's clones and Waxer's clones. Our really asshole adversaries are our Krell. Stop firing anon's. We're all brothers here.
>>77536426
Technically, the used real lava, fake lava, AND cg lava.
>The volcano erupted during filming of Episode III and Lucasfilm sent camera crews to shoot several angles of the eruption; footage was later composited into the background of the scenes set on Mustafar including the lightsaber duel of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.
God all this talk about Empire at War is making me want to reinstall it.
It's on Steam right?
>>77536455
You didn't address my main point. What's the alternative when you're trying to set a scene or scenes somewhere that doesn't exist on earth?
Surely you can't expect no one to ever go beyond such a limiting boundary.
>>77536502
Yep. Mod that shit up. As was said, Absolute Corruption gives you some fuckhuge ships.
>>77536506
It's called a movie set. There's many ways to make a good movie without spamming CG everywhere. CG is just the easy way out.
>>77536455
Lucas used green screen heavily in the PT partially for cost reduction measures because he was funding these movies out of his own pocket. does everyone forget this? the PT movies were generally made on about $150 million budgets, while modern blockbusters that started to come out after the PT can go way above that, or at least to $200 million
he was pushing the boundaries of technology but, being the guy putting all the money up front, wanted to try to keep it economical. he wasn't just a film maker but also a businessman and he had to think about the cost of things as well. and within the constraints that he dealt with, he did a remarkable job with the special effects. of course it looks outdated now, but if you are honest with yourself and not just jacking off to nostalgia, the untouched OT (if you hunt downt he VHS's) looks like garbage too. the Death Star assault is laughable. the vaseline-under-the-speeder is garbage. Greedo looks like a joke. we can accept these things as "real" because they were physical and as whimsical because we already enjoy the franchise, but to be 100% objective it looks terrible now.
but in both cases, both trilogies were stunning for their times
>>77536501
That's.... That's actually incredible.
Man fuck anybody who talks shit about the Mustafar duel.
>>77536536
Right on.
Also, Rebels seems pretty gud so far, not the best show but I'm a sucker for this era. Plus the whole 'what regular people are doing' thing.
>>77536538
okay dawg riddle me this
how are you supposed to convincingly portray a lightsaber duel on a lava world WITHOUT CGI or endangering your cast
>>77536538
CG is a legitimate tool and it has been perfected to such a degree that it is often just not even noticed, like in Zodiac.
there's a difference between "CGI" and "bad CGI". are you the kind of person that hates all electronic music too because it "doesn't use real instruments"?
>>77536554
>Lucas used green screen heavily in the PT partially for cost reduction measures
You mean the shit that is MORE expensive than using real effects? CG is a fucking money sink, but hollywood uses it because it's easy and fast. It's a fucking cop out.
>>77536538
Again, you pretend to know everything, when you clearly know nothing about how the movies were made and how people in general make movies. More and more I'm thinking you just saw a RLM video or some buzzfeed list and took it as gospel.
>>77536455
>Lucas relied on it way too fucking much for the PT
Each of the prequels alone have more practical effects(models, sets, props, etc) than the ENTIRE OT does combined.
His use of CGI and digital effects(like digital mattes/cameras) allowed the medium as a whole to advance. We wouldn't have films like we do today without the work in the prequels.
>Moviemakers have made movies for a long time without using CG.
So what?
>>77536538
Explain how to realistically build a movie set of a FUCKING LAVA PLANET.
>>77536597
CGI ends up costing less in the end.
>>77536283
not him but
>matte paintings
easy choice, really
but Lucas was obsessed with making it a spectacle, instead of legitimately putting soul into it, we got no story at all and only cgi bullshit...sorry it's true, Lucas fell to the darkside, chose the quick and easy path, he really didn't care about starwars anymore.
>>77536538
So how would one do mustafar with out "spamming cgi", but still have it look no worse or no more limited than it is in episode 3?
If there's no such thing, then you're being a bit of a dick. If there is, you might have a solid point.
>>77536554
Both trilogies still look stunning today, especially the blu rays.
>people will get mad at this fact
>>77536591
>there's a difference between "CGI" and "bad CGI".
This. You only really notice CGI when it's bad or outdated. I guarantee you that you have no idea just how many of your favorite shows are shot with green screens. See >>77536438 That's a fucking ABC show from 2006.
>>77536591
No it's not. CG ruins real movemaking and ruins the immersion for the audience, and cast. It's also destroyed real animation. CG is a fucking blight on movie history. But you fucking kids love it because it's all you know.
>>77536606
>More and more I'm thinking you just saw a RLM video or some buzzfeed list and took it as gospel.
Fuck no. I've hated CG since they started using it in every fucking movie. I've grown up watching Hollywood destroy itself.
>>77536623
>His use of CGI and digital effects(like digital mattes/cameras) allowed the medium as a whole to advance. We wouldn't have films like we do today without the work in the prequels.
Great. Another fucking thing to hate Lucas for. He killed movies.
>>77536173
As a kid seeing it for the first time I didn't understand who was attacking who and why, and why the Senate didn't stop the bad guys and what the Jedi were even doing mixed up in everything. Queen Amidala was boring, Jar Jar was annoying, I didn't like kid Anakin, and Darth Maul was barely in it and it wasn't very clear what he was up to so I never thought he was all that threatening. The only characters I liked were Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan but in retrospect they were pretty flat.
You can argue that I was young(er) and I didn't appreciate the complex and nuanced story of The Phantom Menace, but just because it's too complex for a kid it doesn't mean it's well-written.
Btw, when people complain about Star Wars CG I think they're complaining about the obviously shoe-horned in wacky creatures, the non-used-future gleam of the ships/buildings/vehicles, and the comparison of how much is happening on screen verses how little they feel invested in it.
>>77536606
The worst part is these people completely trivialize all the hard work and time hundreds of people put into the PT effects
>>77536624
yes, background matte paintings will surely provide the dynamic appearance of an active lava planet with which the actors will interact
>>Moviemakers have made movies for a long time without using CG
they also made movies for a long time without color or sound or widescreen or or animatronics or however many other innovations. i guess those technological and artistic choices are fine though?
>>77536682
Making CG effects is not hard work or something to be proud of. It's a cheap way to throw out a cash grab movie in a short period of time. Sitting at a computer is not making a movie.
>>77536709
>i guess those technological and artistic choices are fine though?
They are because they advanced movies. CG is like 3D, it ruined everything and dragged it down.
>>77536713
Well it is even without CG since editing is a thing.
Why does the b-Wing have a Death Star laser? That was never in episode 6.
>>77536623
>CGI ends up costing less in the end.
Only by way of schedule. Time is money, and it can take less time to fully computer render a scene than it can to plan it out, build a big set, and coordinate the stunt, etc. CG is fucking expensive and practical effects are not as expensive as everyone thinks.
Though it can take a while to do CG too. I think I read something about it taking two days or something for them to render like one second of an action scene in Transformers.
But I digress, no one really knows what they're talking about here.
>>77536713
>Making CG effects is not hard work or something to be proud of. It's a cheap way to throw out a cash grab movie in a short period of time. Sitting at a computer is not making a movie.

you sound like a 16 year old who just started learning about how movies are made. did you want Gollum in LotR to just be played by a midget in makeup? because they could have done that, but it wouldn't have been as striking as Andy Serkis' mocap performance.
speaking of, LotR is a good example of the "good CG vs. bad CG" thing. the Hobbit movies are filled to the brim with useless, pointless CGI that does nothing but pad things out. LotR uses CGI as a proper effect for backgrounds, armies, characters like Gollum, the fell beasts, etc.
do you want giant monsters to still be stop motion or something? do you hate Jurassic Park? there are absolutely times where CGI is legitimate.
>>77536713
THIS
This is why we need a return to pure practical effects. George Miller got it right when he went old school on Mad Max and didn't use a single bit of-ohwaitaminute
>>77536665
i always loved this shot but thought it was a rather funny place for a picnic because realistically there's no way anakin and padme would be able to hear each other over the crashing water
>>77536743
>That was never in episode 6.
We never see B-Wings in action in episode 6 ya goof. All we hear is that they took down a Star Destroyer.
straight autism
>>77536665
>You can argue that I was young(er) and I didn't appreciate the complex and nuanced story of The Phantom Menace
Oh lord no, I don't mean to say that it's complex and nuanced. It's just dense as hell. Like, that Rick McCallum quote perfectly encapsulates The Phantom Menace. If you're not paying attention constantly it definitely comes as off not making any sense because every scene is crammed full of shit you need to pay attention to. And George, bless his heart, doesn't care for dialogue, so it's flat and clunky and boring and that means you have to really scrutinize some aspects to pick up on a lot of the subtext. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan for instance, there's quite a lot there under the surface if you look hard and relate it to other shit but you wouldn't know that on the surface because they just come as vaguely uninterested weirdo monks.
I won't call it a good film on the whole because it's so dense but I do think it is a good story, or at least I think there's quite a lot to chew on.
>>77536737

Well actually Star Wars revolutionized the expectations of the genre.

Hollywood uses color as a crutch instead of a tool to actually make movies. Flemming relied on it way too fucking much for Oz. Moviemakers have made movies for a long time without using color. Flemming only did it because it was the new shit.

No, the cowardly execs that currently run Hollywood 'killed' it. Because these days it's better to be safe and sterile instead taking risks and losing money.

I like how Ian McDiarmid called Ian McKellen a baby for his green screen tantrum.
In the theatre, you play pretend with shit that isn't there all the time, and that's what McDiarid did when playing the Emperor. IAN MCKELLEN of all people couldn't recall his theatre training.
>>77536709
it's something called
>Suspension of disbelief
Christopher Lee said the job of an actor is to make you believe he is the character, we all know he's an actor, but if he can convince you for a moment that it's real, that's the purpose.
The same logic should be applied to other areas of movie making, people in the Korean War felt connected to MASH because it captured history and feelings, but also they tried as hard as possible to make it AUTHENTIC to what it was supposed to be, they went to tedious length to make sure it was done right, and it was, many veterans felt emotional about it, it's like common sense though, people can tell when something has effort and soul put into it, or when something's forced or faked.
