What can I say, I like Star Wars. There's some stuff I am not too keen on, sure, but overall, I've never gone into an autistic rage and hated anything Star Wars. Nothing has been that bad yet.
Reminder these Tone Poems are beautiful and we should get more for the new trilogy.

Sabine is 16, she got no tits either mate
>>77585468
You could show a 5 second clip of Lucas staring at the screen and Star Wars will still sell millions and be hyped to shit. It's Star Wars fer christ sakes!
>>77585473
And the stuff I'm not keen on usually falls into "so bad it's good" territory for me. I mean Lucas wasn't trying to ruin anything, he just made the movies he wanted to. He made some mistakes, he should have help. But he had good ideas and intentions.
So why get mad about the cheesy romance? Just have a good laugh about it and enjoy the parts that are enjoyable. It's just a movie.
>>77585520
Don't start this shit again.
>>77585387
>>77585535
Because Episodes 1-3 were cinematic abominations that completely ruined the legacy of Star Wars
>>77585535
You summed it up well. I'll never understand people who get angry at Star Wars. They're leagues more enjoyable than the average blockbuster no matter how much they hold up to other Star Wars movies.
>>77585478
I love these. Definitely a unique marketing idea, that's for sure.

Tarkin doesn't rise to anything.
>>77585596
Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper? It'd be genuinely hilarious if they instead say Kanan is too tall.
>>77585632
That's not what Daala said!
>>77585583
I respectively disagree. The PT coupled with the canon slate being cleared last summer are the best things to happen to Star Wars since ROTJ came out.
So, how did the SNOKE IS PLAGUEIS!!!! people react to Serkis talking about Snoke apparently being really huge?
>>77585596
Kanan is actually the only Ghost crew member I like. They should just kill off the other protagonists and make him the new main character.
>>77585621
not him, but i'm somewhat inclined to agree. I would say that they "ruined" the legacy of star wars, but the negative outweighs the positive. each prequel film had it's good moments, but the CGI and terrible dialogue stick out like a sore thumb.
I'm glad TCW happened, because it did justice to the prequel era where the movies did not.
>>77585632
Hey, there was that one time Aresko gave him head, that was pretty arousing.
>>77585659
Daala is a stupid bitch that couldn't do anything right, except fail.
>>77585596
They finally let the fanfare play during the ending clip of Rebels Recon. I'm glad that's over, that used to trigger my autism,
>>77585679
I don't think any of them have said anything, but knowing them it won't deter them one bit.
>>77585679
They said that Plagueis as a Muun isn't canon anymore so he could basically be anything. I swear, they will never give up, not even when we've finally seen TFA.
>>77585679
There was a probably fake screenshot leaked showing Snoke as a Muun but I am not buying it. I don't even think Plaguise is going to be a Muun in Canon.
>>77585686
Ezera should turn evil, Zeb dies, and Sabine goes solo.
Then the show is exclusevly about Kanan and Hera being rebel mercenaries, traveling from rebel group to group trying to help wherever they can.
>>77585500
Ventress is the best TCW girl.
>>77585673
>PT Generation detected.
Boy I think you should be in bed right now and not shitposting on 4chan. Tomorrow is still a school day.
>>77585722
>>77585731
Plagueis as a Muun was something straight from George and LSG is mostly respectful of his ideas.
>>77585734
>Ezera
>Ezxa
>Erea
>>77585722
>They said that Plagueis as a Muun isn't canon anymore
Was this confirmed, though? I knew his status as a Muun wasn't definite, but I hadn't heard them confirm outright that he wasn't one.
>>77585774
Plagueis as a Muun in nucanon hasn't been confirmed or denied yet.
>>77585749
Why do you have to turn everything into an argument rather than let people have opinions? Christ. I'm not even that anon btw, It's just annoying seeing pointless posts like yours that can do nothing but cause arguments.
>>77585759
>Plagueis as a Muun was something straight from George
In that case, he will probably stay Muun. The LSG are indeed very faithful to Lucas and don't stray far from his ideas.
>>77585749
Phantom Menace was 16 years ago. Generation that grew up on the prequels is mostly in their 20s now.
>>77585815
What if I group up with the Prequels but still think the Original Trilogy is superior in every way?
>>77585842

Fuck me senpai
Why are these ships the sexiest?
>>77585842
Then you are like me. I loved the prequels when I was a kid, but now I couldn't even watch them anymore. Whatever, I'm still very excited for the new trilogy.
>>77585842
Same case here.
>>77585842
Then you haven't been brainwashed by our mass media.
>>77585842
You'd be part of a majority. PT fags aren't common, it's just that younger generations don't hate the Prequels as much as older ones do.
>>77585583
> Disagree
>its been over 10 years and people are still bitching about the prequels
Really starting to believe Star wars fans are worse than WH40k fans
>>77585923
Well I think that they still have elements that are good even if the overall package is flawed.

>>77585842
>>77585881
OT is better, but I still enjoyed the prequels. Hatred for them is super overblown. Besides, the real franchise-ruining cinematic abortion of the late 90s wasn't Phantom Menace, it was Roland Emmerich's Godzilla.
>>77586052
SW holds a special place in many people's minds.
>>77585697
Nah man, just nah. Kids loved the prequels and TCW just we loved the OT. At worst the prequels add nothing to the OT and you can discount them. If that's your choice, fine.
At best, if you allow yourself a different perspective, you can find things in the prequels that really enhance and build up the story of the OT in interesting ways. No, it may not change the legitimately bad parts, but you can at least appreciate what George was going for and how it connects to the OT.
But to say it "ruined the legacy of Star Wars" is just ridiculous. It's sensationalist.
>>77586033
This is 4chan, hating things comes easy, but talking about things you like is hard.

The sad thing is this is still a better place to talk about Star Wars than most places on the internet that i know of.
>>77585874
Pellaeon is no longer canon.
The Empire deserves an officer that actually knows what the fuck he's doing.
>>77586080
And if it holds a special place in your mind but you're not a petulant child about the prequels you get yelled at.
>>77586084
I have to disagree. Making Vader the person who built C-3PO was just ridiculous and made the galaxy so much smaller than it needed to be. And then there are other inconsistencies like Obi Wan not recognizing the droids or Leia remembering her real mother. Makes me think that George really didn't give a shit and just ignored the OT when writing the prequels.

The thing about 4chan that's great for discussion is the anonymity, you don't see people sucking up to a single person with a cool profile pic and name like most places, unless they're drawfags or writefags.

>>77586174
>kickass cartoon out of it
I'm glad someone else remembers the animated series. I miss Saturday cartoons.
Wait, people are actually enjoying and discussing this?
What's there to discuss?
The patently retarded dialogue intended for 6-year-olds?
The sickeningly oversimplified episode plots intended for those same 6-year-olds but too simple to be enjoyable even to them?
The disgusting censorship, like how they pan out entirely from someone being impaled by a light saber, despite total lack of blood?
I mean, there is literally nothing that this series has going for it, especially compared to its immediate predecessor: The Clone Wars.
Disney is a plague, and now it's taken hold of Star Wars. Depressing. So depressing.
>>77586154
You're not looking at the big picture at all if you think those minor things in this ridiculous 9-part poetic space opera monster somehow ruins the originals forever.

Are you done whining like a melodramatic bitch? Honestly, this is becoming pathetic. Yeah, I'm not too happy with the writing all that much either, but being associated with a neckbeard like you that sounds like he got sand in his man-vagina is even worse.
>>77586154
>Makes me think that George really didn't give a shit and just ignored the OT when writing the prequels.
Yes he pretty much did.
That is where you get stuff like Padme dying in ROTS or Palpatine and Yoda being skilled lightsaber duelists. Or the idea of the rule of two or Palpatine being a Sith Lord at all.
>>77586208
Why would you post here? What's the point? Do you go into the threads of every show you dislike just to inform people that you think it's shit?
Just leave, god.
>>77586207
Judging from the Godzilla threads lots of us remember that fondly.
It was one of three great Sony shows in the late 90s along with Men in Black the Series and Extreme Ghostbusters.
But to get back on topic, will Rebels eventually expand to have OT Luke and crew in between the movie releases?
![latest[16].png](https://i.imgur.com/RCvNWYH.jpg "latest[16].png")
You know who's the best droid ever? C1-10P. You guys should totally post more Chopper.
>>77586237
At least TCW had better visuals (why Rebels lacks them is beyond me) and didn't censor everything.
Also, with TCW, we only got one Children's Morality Tale episode per season. In Rebels, it's EVERY episode.
Also, Grievous torturing jedi via holocom with the entire Jedi Council watching... vs ...the Inquisitors chatting up the rebels like they're at a galactic diner and happen to have looked at each other the wrong way.
I mean, TCW could've been better for sure, but Rebels is just... I can't imagine how it could be worse.
>>77586264
Wanna take Disney's cock out of your mouth before posting? The cum is drizzling all over the keyboard.

Stop this. There's a long history of stories of this nature having a lot of connective tissue. That was something was important to Lucas' vision. It's not supposed to be realistic, Star Wars isn't realistic in the slightest. It's over the top and archetypal by nature. You can't say it's bad just because you would have done it differently.
>>77586292
You've been getting enough episode time Chop! Stop baiting the thread!
>>77586292
You're not wrong, BB8 is shit for normies, C1-10P is GOAT
>>77586295
Basically Rebels is Filoni minus the Lucas influences.
>we only got one Children's Morality Tale episode per season. In Rebels, it's EVERY episode.
I think we can say who is responsible for shit like the Great Divide in ATLA Book 1 now at least.
>>77586287
>Men in Black the Series
Damn that was good too.
>Rebels eventually expand to have OT Luke and crew in between the movie releases?
I think Many of the writers were wary of having too many OT/PT characters show up in Rebels and sort of want to keep it to a minimum.
>>77586292
Fuck Chopper, I like Gonk better.
>>77586313
But anon,. the scene with Grievous and Eeth Koth was from a season 2 episode of TCW.
>>77586271
Yeah man I'm sure you know way more and have put way more thought into these movies than the guy behind it all.

>>77586271
>Palpatine being a Sith Lord
I think Return of the Jedi is more to blame for that.
Though, I do recall that Filoni once mentioned that George was more of a "big picture" guy. He didn't sweat the little details, as long as everything fit together on a macro level. Filoni being more of the opposite was constantly worried about the little bits of continuity, and George told him to chill the fuck out, because you limit yourself when you're a slave to canon.

And yet people still complain about Lucas being "cancerous" to Star Wars, and how much better the prequels supposedly would have been without him...
And we sure as hell will never have an episode like Massacre in Rebels.
>>77586327
Please stop repeating this bullshit. Campbell and Lucas only hooked up AFTER he finished the SW trilogy. The influences of Campbells ideas of repeating archetypes are way overblown. Campbell and Lucas co-opted each other for their mutual advantage. Campbell to take advantage of the popularity of SW to advertise his theories and Lucas to give himself an air of further legitimacy.

Because Disney is being stingy, how do you not know this by now? George isn't giving them his own money, and Disney is giving them the bare minimum.
But seriously man, why are you watching something you clearly hate?
>>77586174
GINO single-handedly destroyed Trendmasters. They built their empire on the original Godzilla and they went bankrupt when nobody wanted to buy the Super Iguana toys. This is what killed the actually good cartoon show alongside the Pokemon craze.
The giant monster genre was functionally dead in America for almost a decade in the wake of GINO and Godzilla in the west faded into a niche DVD market.
There's a lot of countries that never had exposure to the original franchise. GINO was their introduction to Godzilla and in fact, there were people bitching about Gareth Edwards Godzilla breathing fire in some of those countries.

>>77586295
>At least TCW had better visuals (why Rebels lacks them is beyond me) and didn't censor everything.
Rebels has a lower budget. And if you've been paying attention this season, it seems they have a budget increase because the visuals have been getting better.
>Also, with TCW, we only got one Children's Morality Tale episode per season. In Rebels, it's EVERY episode.
Surely you're joking, right? Every single episode of TCW had some sort of moral at the beginning.
>Also, Grievous torturing jedi via holocom with the entire Jedi Council watching... vs ...the Inquisitors chatting up the rebels like they're at a galactic diner and happen to have looked at each other the wrong way.
Did you miss Kanan's torture by the Grand Inquisitor last season? Or the double beheading of two bumbling imperial officers?

Source? Besides, we aren't talking about the OT, we're talking about the connection later established by the PT with the OT. Whether or not he planned it before the OT is irrelevant to the discussion. I think if you go back and look at the history of Lucas' approach you'll find that he's always been the type to change things and reshape them as he goes along.

Anakin didn't BUILD C-3PO. He rebuilt him from parts in Watto's Junkyard
>And then there are other inconsistencies like Obi Wan not recognizing the droids
He only says ""I don't recall ever owning a droid." Which is true. He didn't own Artoo or Threepio. And his astromech from AotC/TCW/RotS was owned by the Republic, not him.

Yeah, it needs the benefit of ROTJ in order to be appreciated, since not only does ROTJ wrap up a lot of the threads that were left dangling in ESB, but the contrast in tone between the two makes ESB seem even darker than it actually is. Being followed up by Ewoks, burping Sarlaccs and slapstick Boba Fetts will have that effect.
>>77586567
It still is by some people.

I mean, the other explanation would be that Leia thought Luke was referring to Bail's wife, and that Luke was just wording the question weird.

Godzilla 2000's dub release was successful enough that an American produced sequel to be directed by Joe Dante was pitched where Godzilla goes to Hawaii and fights a lava bat. Could have starred Bruce Campbell, Leonard Nimoy and Christopher Lee.
Sony execs didn't go for it and they weren't really interested in Toho's productions either. Really, the one motivating factor they had for bringing the rest of the Millennium series here was to make some dosh from the 50th anniversary.
>>77586566
It's easy for me to ignore hostile shit in this fandom. Though it could be because a lot of this took place before the internet. Now everyone can whine safely with many excuses. It's why fandoms for new things are such a warzone.

Apparently Leia knew she was adopted though it never came up before.

This, no matter how they'll argue otherwise.

Half of it is shitposting, half of it is the usual flip-flopping parts of a fandom do when a new show comes out and they suddenly praise the older one despite shitting on it when it was new. And you can't claim /co/ didn't shit hard on Clone wars in the begining of its run.
I guarantee you if a new show comes out based on the new movies they'll start praising Rebels.

You make some valid points, I think we'd all be happy if they had done the Underworld Tv show for older audiences and have made rebels for the younger fans and have them run alongside. Of course people are going to criticise it, it may be a kids show but for a lot of older fans it's the only star wars they've got right now so people will nitpick.
>>77586622
The sheer butthurt people feel is just so childish though. I was raised on the OT. It's literally the earliest thing I remember latching onto after Sesame Street. Star Wars totally stole that top spot and I've loved it ever since.
But some people act like Lucas fucking killed their family because he made a couple subpar movies. It's embarrassing and a good sign the person has poor critical thinking skills.

Then you maybe should stop trying so hard to fit among people you don't know on the web.
While OT has tighter plot and less cheesy dialogue, a lot of its special effects really show their age. It is remarkable that many of them still compare well to movies of today, but there is no question than PT is simply visually better, from grander, much more detailed battle scenes to wider range of fantastic worlds.

I think a lot of it stems from how over-protective Lucas was about Star Wars. I mean for years he's said ESB is the worst Star Wars film, the one he didn't direct. I don't think anyone can deny how bitter the fan reaction to the prequels made him, and I still do this day think that him shoving in PT characters ( I.e Watto in Jabbas palace) in the OT is him trying to validate the PT.
I for one don't have that strong of an opinion on the prequels, it's not like they were done maliciously, but Lucas continuing to not release the original edits of the OT is childish, and inexcusable. There's just no other way to put it
>>77586292

this is the sames harebrained Lucas philosophy that gave us the prequels.
>>77586065
>Besides, the real franchise-ruining cinematic abortion of the late 90s wasn't Phantom Menace, it was Roland Emmerich's Godzilla.
I prefer Matrix sequels as an example of what shitty franchise-ruining movies look like. While PT caused a lot of butthurt and backlash, its commercial success, particularly if you take into account the massive overall boost it gave to SW media, including books, comics and cartoons, is undeniable.
So can I just skip the Clone Wars "movie" and start S1E1 of SW:TCW? Been wanting to consume as much SW as possible before the movie and people say the later seasons of TCW are boss.
>>77586795
>should stop trying so hard to fit among people you don't know on the web.
pls stop
It seems like another popular thing when it comes to TCW is to shit on the first season. But I thought it was great, better than rebels so far imo.
Each episode or arc was like a wartime serial chronicling adventures of jedi, clones and others across the galaxy. Each had the production value of a mini movie.
I was disappointed by the lack of side character stories that we got in s1. s2-5 shoehorned the leading cast into every plot where there could have been leeway for new faces.
But season 1 got a lot right I think. It may not have got too dark yet but it captured the wonder of star wars perfectly and made me watch the show until the end.

Nah, Empire is still the best looking Star Wars film.
A lot of shots in the PT are composited weird, and despite what some people will tell you, the CG really isn't that good, and it is noticeable.
>>77586839it is true
>>77586896
Cad Bane was created as a replacement. They considered reworking Durge into a human character, but they instead chose to make a new character all together.
Anyone have that Sabine cosplay that everyone thought was terrible? Her hair was really sloppily done with the colors making it look rediculously greasy and she was VERY asian. It was a close up of her face if I recall correctly.
I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me
>>77586909
Probably because I've only seen the Blu-Ray releases once, and in my minds eye it was Watto.
>>77586845
CGI and greenscreen are superior over models and "practical effects". They are also cheaper and way less labor intensive. The weakest aspects of TFA will undoubtedly by the "practical stone age effects".
>>77586860
You don't need to watch the movie at all. It's not worth your time
>>77586835
He didn't direct Jedi and he respected Kershner enough to defer to him in many cases and let him and Kasdan have quite a lot of leeway especially with the Han/Leia parts. He was one of Lucas' mentors! Why would Lucas have any antagonism towards him?
You have to remember George has a different perspective because he's the architect. He sees the whole picture. Guys like Kershner and Kasdan see the smaller picture. And that's good, it's guys like them who helped feel out the details and give the movies the critical human element that people love about the OT. And yes, this is one of the bigger flaws about the PT. George focused too much on the broad overtones and forgot to humanize the characters in important ways or wrap the loose ends of the plot details that he deemed irrelevant. That's a byproduct of the way he approaches things I think, he was similar with the OT and that's why he handed off the director responsibility. He's really not a great director.
But I don't really think it's fair to fault George for having an opinion, or to assume it's malicious just because the crowd accepts ESB as the best. It's not a perfect movie, none of the OT are despite the worship they get. And I seriously adore the movies.
>but Lucas continuing to not release the original edits of the OT is childish
I don't disagree with this but I can see George's desire for what he feels like is the optimum consistency. Doesn't mean they can't coexist though.
>>77586860
I think it's unnecessary. It introduces Ahsoka, and that's about it. Watch it if you want, if you skip it, nothing of value was lost.
>>77586870
I was disappointed by the lack of side character stories that we got in later seasons I mean. We never got that bail/Obi wan arc that established why they're close allies in IV. "You fought alongside my father in the clone war" assuming she meant bail and not anakin.
>>77586961
Actually I should say that he's not a great actor's director. The prequels still have some really great imagery. George is good at envisioning a story in picture. But you can't just cling to silent films, dialogue is important to western audiences and you have to work with that.
>>77586941
Compare the start of Battle of Endor to some of the scenes from ROTS, and you will see this isn't always true.
>>77586896
Probably too OP for Lucas. They could've just sized him down though or at least referenced him. After all he and ventress first appeared in the same comic working together.
>>77586850
It wasn't the effects, it was Lucas' warped focus. Lucas has always said the effects are just a tool to tell a story and that's no different in the prequels. Really sounds like something you just cribbed from RLM rather than something you gave any kind of thought too. There is a story in the prequels whether you like it or not.
>>77586937

>>77586973
I think that's what the Stealth Ship episode was meant to touch on with the supply run to support Bail. Even had him going "Help us Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope"
>>77586941
Both are good, anybody who denies this is retarded.
>>77586973
This is something that should have happened in like the PT given the thread is in ANH!
>"You fought alongside my father in the clone war"
In one of the shooting scripts, it's actually: you served the Republic in the clone wars, which imo is more serviceable.
>>77587025
Thats not it but I appreciate the effort. The cosplay itself was very dark looking in terms of theaming.
The first film was a huge success because of everyone, Lucas included. But it was people like the DP who lied to Lucas and didn't shoot in soft focus and his wife who won an Oscar for her cut of the film (the original cut was apparently very long and considered boring by those who saw it) that kept him in check and helped make it a success. With Empire Lucas clashed with Kasdan and the director Kershner over the film, but it all worked out in the end. When RotJ came around, Lucas decided he was a fan of the studio system, as he wanted to be the overlord producer. He wanted a director who would do what he wanted. With that began his resentment. Star Wars became his thing, that he was responsible for the success for. He discounted all the artist and crew that made it come to life. It should be noted he was going through a divorce at the time, and I don't like to get in to the particulars about that. But he changed quite a bit at that time, and it could be seen in Temple of Doom and RotJ.
When Lucas came back to Star Wars, he asked Kasdan to return, and Kasdan refused. Why? Speculation is abound, but my opinion is that he knew George would no longer listen. This seemed to play out, as Lucas surrounded himself with yes men (watch or listen to any of the prequel special features or commentaries) and had no one to challenge on the prequels. He wrote them himself and directed them himself, with very little input and apparently no push back.
Now no matter how you feel about the prequels, they have taken a lot of criticism, and this has hurt George. He considered the prequels his sole vision and thus the criticism against, especially when compared to the OT, made him look, well wrong. But his reaction has gotten worse over the years. He won't release any version of the OT that isn't the most recently altered because it is "his vision". Even though he didn't direct two of the films. He has taken shots at fans over the OT and the prequels.
>>77586515
There are dozens of movies that do literally nothing right from america and countries the world over, so saying TPM is among them is like saying goodfellas is shit because citizen Kane is better. It's a retarded statement meant to get a reaction, the alternative is that the one saying it has only seen a handful of good movies so comparably speaking they think one of them is the worst ever, but in reality it's no where fucking close.
Would you rather watch TPM or fucking Salo, 120 days of sodomy, an old dubbed Italian film about fucking and mindfucking 12-15 year olds in ww2 Italy?
Perspective man, Star Wars is good at its worst, divine at its best.
>>77585478
Obi Wan should have gotten one.
>>77587098
Where do you get all this resentment from? That he intentionally "surrounded himself with yes-men?" I think it's just as easy to believe that everybody trusted him to do it on its own and didn't challenge him, and George being the beta that he is just went with it since everyone was telling him they're just at his behest anyway.
I mean, Spielberg told him to do it himself and he made TPM, probably the most divisive movie. TPM reeks of unrestrained George. It's all of his good qualities and all of his bad qualities at full throttle. It's a mess but I like the good qualities and I admire his vision. He just needs helpful peers to translate his vision for normies.

What the fuck? Is this really how Western comics operate?
>>77587188
Yeah. They provide some neat insight for the characters and Obi-Wan could have used a bit more. I still think his relationship with Qui-Gon and how it affects his training of Anakin is one of the best undertones of the prequels. Honestly Obi-Wan needed more time period but TPM is a long and dense movie anyway and I like that Qui-Gon is the dominant character in the Anakin plot.
>>77587199
> I think it's just as easy to believe that everybody trusted him to do it on its own
I'd believe that too, if it weren't for the fact that everyone continued to just say "yes", even after TPM came out and was as divisive as you said. People should've definitely said something after AOTC, but they continued to stay silent.
>>77587098
I don't think you appreciate the behind the scenes production shenanigans that happened in ESTB and how they lead to actually effecting his health, his marriage and how he had to go to Fox to get more money. It's why he wanted to centralize power and not delegate too much for ROTJ and get someone that would follow his directions.
>With that began his resentment. Star Wars became his thing
You have to understand. Hollywood operates under the auteur. Everything is the director's vision according to that school of thought. Of course that was far from the truth for ANH. It wouldn't take much for him to buy into the partyline when everyone around him believes it already.
>>77586835
I think he's embarrassed by the ancient fucking effects from the original releases and doesn't want people to see his old stuff he feels isn't up to snuff.
I get it, it's like a cartoon creator not wanting to release the pilot episode they made to pitch the show years after the show took off. It's early, rough work, that doesn't reflect who they are now.
It sucks people forget George isn't above humanity, he's a person like anyone else. He at least seems happier not having to worry as much about Star Wars anymore.
>>77587199
im curious,what parts of lucas's vision did you like in TPM?
imo i like TPM simply because of the podrace.Thats one of the best moments in SW.
>>77587216
Vader Down is an "event" comic that will cross over SW and DV.
>>77587240
I still don't see that as conclusive evidence that George maliciously wanted to take full control.

I want to see Leia be a Jedi so badly
>>77587216
Vader Down is a one-shot, not an on-going. So it's really just two series. It really isn't that hard to grasp.
>>77587025
She's not great but by no means the worst. She did a decent job on the armor. Just keep the helmet on more, it's a good helmet and looks better in picturesIf I was going to go full /cgl/ on her, I'd say helmet on at all times, get several pieces of shapewear as well as wear some tight garments underneath to smooth the actual outer layer of clothing, either do away with the scratched paint on the armor or make it look more deliberate, get some actual belts instead of sewn pleather, paint the ammo belts so they look less like they're from nerf weapons, swap the slouch boots for straight leg, and overall for the pants just go for 'serious fabrics' like twill, canvas, etc rather than what looks like regular cotton
But honestly it's a solid attempt, and without me being overly critical she's fine as is.I want to see the really bad one

While I agree with you on a level, you're kind of being a faggot pulling the "YOU HAVE TO LIKE EVERYTHING IN A FRANCHISE OR ELSE YOU'RE NOT A REAL FAN" card.
>>77587261
I like that George decided to blow the doors wide-open in terms of new content. It's a roller-coaster of really awesome visuals in my eyes.
I like that he wanted to homage other things in the art direction rather than just retreading the OT visuals. As other people have said there are so many visual influences that are a joy to look at if you're familiar his inspiration.
I appreciate the complexity of the working parts and angles, even if he didn't always consider every detail and neglected to present them clearly to the audience.
I really like some of the things it added and reinforced to the mythos, specifically concerning the Jedi and the state of the republic in the senate.
I like a lot of the overtones, from the wide range of symbiosis symbolism, to his decisions regarding Anakin's childhood and how it affects his journey, to the nature of the Force and how the Jedi perceive it. I feel that most of these overtones lend interesting ways to look at the saga rather than taking away from the independent story on the OT
I appreciate the pottery as always, from the bigger story parallels to the smaller things like some aspects of the camera work
What I take away from The Phantom Menace is that it contains a lot of great ideas and had a lot of passion poured into it but it's too complex for its own good and fails to tie everything together in a satisfying way.
>>77587414
>you're kind of being a faggot pulling the "YOU HAVE TO LIKE EVERYTHING IN A FRANCHISE OR ELSE YOU'RE NOT A REAL FAN" card

CGI is good for space battles and vehicle chases. Practical effects are good for characters because actors look awkward when they're interacting with something that isn't there. Sets can be in between but anything actors interact with (doors, buttons, etc) should be real.

No, you don't understand, in order to extend his life after Sidious's attempt to kill him, Plagueis had to immerse himself in a nutrient tank, which caused him to bloat to enormous proportions. Remember those dog warrior guys from the old Clone Wars cartoon who get turned into fat cyborgs? That's what Plagueis did, except the cyborg part, but he was in his tank for 50 years so he's 50 feet tall and 200 feet wide and really spongy but his powers are as potent as ever!

George does not seem very happy about TFA (this is separate from the Vanity Fair article). seems particularly bitter about the story treatments being tossed out and said that Disney wasn't keen on him being involved
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/george-lucas-on-why-he-is-done-directing-star-wars/
>>77588200
Well if the rumors about TFA is true, it also kinda undermines the happy ending he wanted for the characters after ROTJ with Leia/Han having a family and Luke rebuilding the Jedi. Neither of which are fully realized.
>>77588200
I can kind of see his point in that it does feel like TFA is being done with a lot of OT fanservice in mind, to the point of having a lot of the same plot elements as ANH.
I don't think that necessarily means it won't be good, but I think we'll be able to feel the absence of Lucas's touch. I don't want him writing or directing but his core ideas tend to be really good (obviously his track record isn't 100%), we just have to see if Abrams, Kennedy, Kasdan and crew can make it work.
>>77586581
>Anakin didn't BUILD C-3PO. He rebuilt him from parts in Watto's Junkyard
Incorrect according to Lucas.
>He only says ""I don't recall ever owning a droid." Which is true. He didn't own Artoo or Threepio. And his astromech from AotC/TCW/RotS was owned by the Republic, not him.
He would have remembered that droid, anon. This was obviously something he came up with much later and was never intended to be connected, you can't dispute that.
>New canon is hinting that she has some sort of force memories of her mother
The whole thing still comes off as awkward since she wasn't awakened in the Force, remember that Vader never says anything about even though she's Luke's equivalent. Only thing of note was that she resisted a interrogation probe and Vader decided to take a break and not bother using the Force to read her mind for some reason. (Hadn't been thought of yet most likely)
Look, there's one simple truth: Lucas came up with stuff on the fly. None of these things were intended from day one, remember that Vader's name is actually Darth for instance in the original
>I remember very early on asking who my parents were and being told that my father and Obi Wan met Vader on the edge of a volcano and they had a duel. My father and Darth Vader fell into the crater and my father was instantly killed. Vader crawled out horribly scarred, and at that point the Emperor landed and Obi Wan ran into the forest, never to be seen again.

It's just one of those things that is used immediately forgotten about like Force speed in Episode 1.
