GEORGE HYPE
>>83960026
If true, yay!
>>83960026
>executive producer
Literally meaningless
Comes out next week. Any interest?
>>83960179
Yeah, I'll wait for the torrent version.
>>83960179
Not really, it's part of the NuLEGO games where the characters actually talk. Not to say it won't be fun like the other LEGO games, but it's just not the same.
>>83960097
This.
It's a title they give to people who fund a project or someone connected to the franchise for legacy purposes. It means nothing.
>>83960179
Nah
I played the demo that was on the Ps4
The third person cover shooter areas are terrible, the shooting is clunky and they throw enemies upon enemies at you
But I'll probably get around playing it sometime, not just for full price on release
>>83960026
Jus a reminder the dimensional aliens who treasure knowledge and knowledge was their treasure was his idea.
>>83960026
>>83960044
>People like George Lucas now
How did this happen?
>>83960469
I kinda like him. But I'm suspicious as fuck with every project he's involved in.
>>83960469
/co/ntrarianism.
>>83960179
Will they have any OT or Prequel characters?
>>83960469
He did finance the clone wars out of his own pocket. Plus he has very good ideas and is a very imaginative worldbuilder. He just needs someone to rein him in when he goes wild with the scripts/directing
>>83960550
If I recall correctly they were going to have all previous characters(?)
Don't take my word for it though.
![Star.Wars.Episode.II.Attack.of.the.Clones.2002.1080p.BluRay.x264.mkv_snapshot_01.15.10_[2016.06.10_15.08.59].png](https://i.imgur.com/vNu7GhJ.jpg "Star.Wars.Episode.II.Attack.of.the.Clones.2002.1080p.BluRay.x264.mkv_snapshot_01.15.10_[2016.06.10_15.08.59].png")
>>83960469
What reasons are there to hate him?
Daily reminder this is best waifu
Well... he's real wizard.
>>83960659
Someone will post the pic now... I remember... I doomed her with my digits. I had the power of the dubs and I used it to make her the "not best waifu". End my life, senpai.
>>83960260
You just said it yourself. He has the money! He could ruin this movie with corporate meddling!
>>83960758
It's okay desu. No dubs can hurt love for Twi'Leks.
>>83960846
You know it, boy.
So anyone excited for the Battlefront Bespin DLC? I certainly haven't touched the game for awhile. Lando and Dengar hype!
>>83961102
No.
>>83961102
I don't even own the game.
But yeah, it looks kinda pretty, which is the only thing the game got going for it.
>>83961164
Same here. Best reason I love the game is for beautiful authenticity reasons. Some days you just wanna be a scout trooper blowing the heads off rebel scum.
>>83961209
Imperial scum!
>>83961102
Played about an hour of it.
Bespin screams "should have been Coruscant, and in at launch", but I'd be lying if I didn't say it looks nice.
The gameplay updates and changes are the best the game has had.
Finally, 8 months later, does the game feel like it has enough variety in content to warrant buying. Still has a lot of problems though, but this is the best you can probably ask for, when dealing with Dice and EA.
>>83961395
Well I'm glad you've got something positive to say about it cAnon. I'm not cautiously optimistic about getting to play it later tonight.
>>83961775
I meant to say I AM optimistic about playing it
>>83960758
>>83960659
Daily reminder that this is actualdead,best waifu
>>83961775
>>83961802
I try to avoid praising the game much because I hate giving people the impression that I am satisfied with it. I'm really not. For example, when I said;
>8 months later, does the game feel like it has enough variety in content to warrant buying
This has to be reiterated that it required a shitload of free updates, and TWO "expansion packs" to get to this state. And I still despise the Card and Customization system, among a few other things.
But, yes, the Bespin maps are a very VERY welcome and fresh change to the map variety, and it's been fun to play in the short amount of time I have had on it so far, so hopefully you'll enjoy it too.
>>83961840
Yeah, that wee droid was pretty sweet.
>>83961840
is that Thrawn rumor still holding? Hope they at least give him Kallus-level plot armor.
>>83962012
>Hope they at least give him Kallus-level plot armor.
I don't. Kill him off ASAP.
>>83961102
Not particularly, I've not really given much thought about Battlefront lately, which is nice.
>>83961840
>Shit Sister
>Best dead waifu
No. Tua is best dead Rebels Imperial Waifu and the best dead waifus in general are either Ventress, Satine or Miraj. Shaak Ti is in there too but her death has been rewritten so much I have no idea what killed her.
Why is she so smug?
>>83961395
"It's just okay" - cAnon
>>83962169
She's cuckqueaning Padme
>>83960550
>>83960577

>>83961805
Dubs 3 times and never when you wanted it? I feel for you anon...
>>83962169
She is not as smug as pic related
But she might be just as dead:^)
>>83962058
It could very well be said that Shaak Ti is not in fact, dead yet.
>>83961805
D-DELETE THIS!
>>83962313
>>83960758
>>83960659
You have a lovely waifu there Anons. It would be a shame if something happened to her...
Yep, real shame...
>>83962365
S-she'll be fine.

DON'T. BE. SO. CERTAIN.

If there's one minor thing I'd change about RotS, it'd be to add a better shot of the Jedi Temple burning. Not like a close-up or anything(like when Bail arrives), just something that isn't as obscured as what we got in Padme's apartment
>>83962444
Why was the Temple even on fire? What purpose did that serve?
>>83962444
Nice trips. Yeah maybe. Still, I wouldn't expect any closeups. There must be tons of younglings in there and Annie killed them all. He must have killed what? At least 100-200 jedi or something? Do we know the numbers? I mean they live in the temple, right? I can't remember any of this stuff and I watched TWC quite recently.
![Star.Wars.Episode.III.2005.1080p.BluRay.X264-AMIABLE.mkv_snapshot_01.24.21_[2016.06.21_17.39.43].png](https://i.imgur.com/4YFWfM0.jpg "Star.Wars.Episode.III.2005.1080p.BluRay.X264-AMIABLE.mkv_snapshot_01.24.21_[2016.06.21_17.39.43].png")
>>83962507
Uhhh.... Order 66? Blasterfire igniting flammable parts of the building.
>>83962533
There were likely thousands of Jedi in the temple that Anakin and his clones killed. The Jedi numbered 10,000 during the prequel era. Hundreds were out fighting in the Clone Wars but thousands were still in the temples.
>>83962251
Oh yeah...
Lego DLC is a thing now
>>83962627
I get that it was Order 66, but setting fire to the Temple seems pointless. More mess for Sheev to have to get cleaned up and fixed into the Imperial Palace. Just seems like a pointless addition to the slaughter.
![Star.Wars.Episode.III.2005.1080p.BluRay.X264-AMIABLE.mkv_snapshot_01.23.38_[2016.06.21_17.58.59].png](https://i.imgur.com/Weq3TUI.jpg "Star.Wars.Episode.III.2005.1080p.BluRay.X264-AMIABLE.mkv_snapshot_01.23.38_[2016.06.21_17.58.59].png")
>>83963007
They didn't do it on purpose, it just happened in the chaos.
>>83963007
Dude, blast bolts hit flammable shit, catches fire. Wouldn't be surprised if they used explosives as well. It WAS a temple full of Jedi after all. And how were any of them to know it was going to be changed to the Emperor's personal residence?
>>83963007
Sheev probably wanted it to destroyed as a big fuck you to the jedi. Only thing I could imagine him being interested in is some shit from the library, which he probably took already.
>>83962169
She learned from the best
>>83960469
The fedora tippers who hated him grew up. Source: I was one and did just that.
Even had a three piece suit, god help me, I hate old me.
>>83963124
>Lord Vader, get rid of those wannabe buddhist out of my new flat. And then we shall have peace.
>>83962169
She is no longer a jedi so she doesn't have to follow their rules, so she went off and fucked Lux Bonteri
>>83963450
>Implying she didn't go into the barracks housing the 501st Legion andsaid goodbye to a dear friend of hers
I think Ben probably got sent away because he was a little too interested in the Empire similar to the Centrists in Bloodline. It would make sense given that the reason Leia sent him to train with Luke was because he 'had too much Vader in him'.
![Star.Wars.Episode.III.2005.1080p.BluRay.X264-AMIABLE.mkv_snapshot_01.42.17_[2016.06.21_17.54.47].png](https://i.imgur.com/svu3Epv.jpg "Star.Wars.Episode.III.2005.1080p.BluRay.X264-AMIABLE.mkv_snapshot_01.42.17_[2016.06.21_17.54.47].png")
>>83960389
> who treasure knowledge and knowledge was their treasure was his idea.
There's certainly nothing wrong with that. ET running around with precious jewels is always a little odd. Aliens in modern mythos tend to be interested in turning cows inside out and probing butts, after all. Not so much knocking over Fort Knox with their tripods. They could have been obsessed with our water (Independence Day), our genetic material (X-Files), slaves (Signs). Oh, or sports teams. They taught the Mayans the secrets of b-ball and ripping the hearts out of the chests of the losing team.

>>83963926
He's the only chance we've got
>>83963007
That's what happens in a battle, you fool. Things are going to catch fire when people are waving lazer swords about. No doubt some jedi probably set fire to the temple to spread awareness of what's going on or even to destroy the systems to prevent the clones from finding the where of other jedi are located.
>>83963869
>>83963926
>>83963983
That's what everyone was saying about JJ, and look what we got.
>>83963926
>people think he will make a good star wars movie after looper
>>83960097
It varies. Executive producers can and often do have a lot of power, but sometimes they are just kind of slapped on there for legacy reasons but otherwise do nothing.
The important thing here is that Lucas is involved on some level, or it at least has his blessing. They're under no obligation to include him beyond the "created by" credit.
![Star.Wars.Episode.II.Attack.of.the.Clones.2002.1080p.BluRay.x264.mkv_snapshot_00.59.21_[2016.06.10_15.18.25].png](https://i.imgur.com/DxF8in8.jpg "Star.Wars.Episode.II.Attack.of.the.Clones.2002.1080p.BluRay.x264.mkv_snapshot_00.59.21_[2016.06.10_15.18.25].png")
>>83964045
The difference is, Rian actually appreciates all of Star Wars and likes the prequels. JJ just wanted to play it safe and make a remake of the OT.
>>83964071
He and Spielberg are literally best friends, so it makes sense that he'd want to include him, regardless of whatever bad blood may exist between Lucas and the people currently controlling his old franchises. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Spielberg's push to get him involved is specifically because he sympathized with him after the semi-falling out Lucas had with Kennedy and Abrams (and at this point we're not even clear on whether there's still any animosity or if that's all been cleared up, since Lucas said he liked TFA even though it does a lot of the stuff he had previously been against)
>>83964069
Of course! Only instead of time travel Rey gets caught in a predestination paradox due to her Force visions, leaving the First Order ahead and her uncertain if she screwed things up because of destiny, because of the visions, or because the Force wanted her to. All very beyond philosophical, anon. You have no idea.
>>83964183
I think Lucas's opinion of TFA is more of a "it was a fun movie, not what I would've done though." He probably mentally regards it the way he did the EU, where it was always a completely separate thing from what he considered to be Star Wars. He would praise stuff from the EU all the time even while acknowledging that he didn't consider any of it canon and that in his mind, what the characters were doing after ROTJ iin the EU wasn't the REAL story of what they went on to do.

It's neither canon nor not canon until someone at Lucasfilm says anything.
>>83964499
Interesting that they gave her one of Ventress's hilts for her lightsaber instead of the usual one since she has the usual one in the show.
>>83965475
Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens is totally canon. Crimson Corsair stole a First Order troop transport and danced atop it while flying in space rocking out to cantina music.Also with nucanon I believe they default to non-canon until they say otherwise.
>>83965549
I believe, similar to the movie itself, it features adaptations of canon elements
>>83965091

There's your mistake right there. While they may not be "fresh" we have plenty of perfectly serviceable older memes. They still work as good today as they ever did.

The second episode of Freemakers aired today, right?
>>83960469
>How did this happen?
I think that with him gone from the franchise we can admire what he did right without the ongoing aggrievement at what he continues to do wrong.
Also, you know... his child was sold to white slavers. There's some sympathy factor.
>>83960469
Why not? Clinging onto hate for years is just pointless. More than that Lucas, for all his faults, was a true believer about what he created. He tried, had enough faith to bankroll it and believed that people deserved the best he could provide. TCWs proves that with the right creative team backing him up he's as good as he ever was. There is absolutely no shame in being someone whose best work comes from working with others backing you up.
Funny thing is with the sequels he would most certainly not have just rehashed the OT. Whether he could make something people would accept or not, I cannot say, but he would have tried. There would have been new, visually unique worlds. There would be new vehicles that aren't just a collection of various box shapes. For better or worse there would still be a VISION behind his work. TFA is NOT bad, but it is certainly flawed in the opposite direction Lucas took the Prequels. Some believe that the Prequels lost the feeling of Star Wars, but if getting that feeling back was just aping the OT? Lucas would never have done that. Again, for better or worse.
It reminds me of Simon Pegg's take on the Prequels as trash and anyone who likes them isn't worthy of consideration. As pals with JJ I find it hilarious he'd say that given what those two chucklefucks did to Star Trek. Seriously. Do any of the nu Treks FEEL like Star Trek?RIP Anton Yelchin.Apparently they can only make something feel like the original when they blatantly rip it off.
>>83967296
I actually was still very critical of him until our old TCW threads kindly pointed out to me that I had my head up my ass and he was still very much a part of Star Wars, working directly on the episodes. He laid out the basic plot points he wanted then turned Filoni and the writers lose. He okayed their changes, oversaw production art. We certainly had plenty of weird stuff, like Mortis and that time Threepio and Artoo went on wacky adventures with fairy frogs and murdered some guys before fucking up the droid Wizard of Oz, all while driving Wolffe nuts. But overall they did a damn good job fleshing out the Prequel Era.
>>83967131
Yeah there's a reason I don't like Lucas-haters and the like.
Reminds me too much of me a half a decade ago.
Doesn't help that so many sound like old me too. I almost need a drink just thinking about it.
>tfw you wish you could literally beat yourself up
>>83967558
>Clinging onto hate for years is just pointless
You don't understand true pain, son. Some things you never forgive.
>>83967700
Yeah but hating George Lucas would be like hating your wacky senile Grandpa. Sure his stories of WWII may involve laser swords and he helped liberate France from Imperial Stormtroopers with Private Binks shouting, "WEESA GONNA DIE!" the entire time, but once you get past his funky old man smell and the notion that every time he stops mid-sentence and just stares he's probably not dead, he's actually quite charming.
>>83967700
>comparing what EA and Bioware did, and still do, to the prequels
I seriously hope you just meant as a general statement hate is ok to hold onto, because damn dude, the alternative is pretty bad.
>>83967646
TCW and basically EVERY post-Prequel tie-in prooved what a great world he'd built. It's just the stories he happened to choose for the movies themselves was terrible, and kneecapped by his desire to pick the worst takes of his actors work.
But that world -- amazing. He needs someone else to handle the details.
http://www.oldtimeradiodownloads.com/historical/believe-it-or-not/way-of-mourning-19xx-xx-xx
Interesting. I didn't realize that Lost Stars basically nicked that twin bit.
>>83964464
Why do the best Dark Side husbandos get killed?
>>83968209
I don't know if they were TERRIBLE, as such. I think all the ingredients are there, just not quite mixed properly or in the case of deleted materials that should have been left in, ingredients that simply were skipped.
The problem is the whole Prequel setup just had too much going on for the movies to properly contain. Arguably the Sequels are doing the same, for instance Bloodlines has some details that would have been really nice to know for TFA.

>Hating ME3 this much when ME2 did everything it did wrong worse but was also an unplayable mess
Is this still a thing?
I finished the Umbara arc, it was great, but I wish they never revealed this guy was a Separatist. A Jedi who fell to the dark side because of war and saw clones as cannon fodder but was otherwise loyal to the Republic and on the side of the 'good guys' was more interesting than what we got and I would have loved to see how they would have resolved that character.
>>83968599
As much as I agree with you, I also think it was necessary to show that not all Jedi just inherently believed in the Republics cause. It makes plenty of sense that there would be Sepretist Jedi. Way more than we actually ended up seeing tbhonest
>>83960240
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's bothered by this. It was fine in the Batman games because they told an original story that required understandable dialogue at times. But why put dialogue in a LOTR game or a SW game when people have already heard the lines before and know what's happening?

I still kept the fedora so I wouldn't forget about how bad I was, I even briefly planned doing a little re-do of kylo ren talking to Vader's helmet and the light tempting him, but with me talking to the fedora about a reasonable stance on 1-3 tempting me in a shitty kylo voice.

It was Disney that demanded it be more like the original trilogy
I can't wait until ep8 comes out and we can stop bashing TFA for being "too much like TFA"
We get it. I also get that it had to do a fuck ton of heavy lifting to get people to believe in SW again.
>>83971165
Yeah, though writing anything on paper is considered primitive as fuck. Like Flintstones-style hammer and chisel primitive.
>>83971518
I don't understand all this hate JJ is getting when it's clear Lucasfilm and Disney wanted the movie to be retro. I don't think he cares about the OT or PT, he was just making a movie, doing his job.
>>83971691
It seems to be something they, Kennedy and Abrams agreed on. Abrams's dislike of the prequels is pretty well known.
>>83971780
>stop bashing TFA for being "too much like TFA"
Nah, do go on.
>>83971780
>I also get that it had to do a fuck ton of heavy lifting to get people to believe in SW again.
I'm not sure I'd call taking the safe and easy route "heavy lifting."
>>83971780
I don't think anyone was upset at TFA for being too much like TFA given it was, you know, TFA. It was, however, too much like the OT but in the worst ways. It didn't capture the spirit of the OT or the feel, it captured the plot and then pretended it was just the feel of the OT.
But even putting that aside, nobody has ever stopped believing in SW. It has continued to be an unstoppable financial juggernaut even before it was sold to Disney. It, in fact, was sold for quite a hefty price. It wasn't some weak and dying beast whose sickly body was sold to Disney who managed to use their advanced technology used to preserve Walt's head to revive it. That's a meme that can fuck right off and die.
Has anyone else done psychedelic drugs and tried to meditate and 'become one with the force'? It's pretty cool especially when you take Obi-Wan's advice on meditation from Weapon of a Jedi. In a weird sort of way it makes force scenes feel more 'real' since you have kind of experienced what it's like to become one with the force.
>>83971780
>stop bashing TFA for being "too much like TFA"
I hated how in TFA, Kylo Ren had that broadsword style lightsaber. That was just a ripoff of the broadsword style lightsaber Kylo Ren had in TFA! And both TFA and TFA had a wrinkled orange midget lady strong with the Force, she even had the same goggles, is there no originality?
>>83971844
I would actually argue that the fact that they managed to sell people a rehash of a movie that came out in the 70s was, in fact, not so much heavy lifting as it was a magic trick, but of the con artist variety. But the fact that people so easily bought into it wasn't so much gullibility but people wanted to buy into it.
>>83971805
He removed the Podracing flags Easter Eggs from the entrance to Maz's Castle for stupidly petty sounding reasons. Like he thought having a few flags from the podrace there suddenly made that whole shot about podracing even though they're in the midst of a sea of old flags.
>>83971883
>if this is what sobriety is like, I'm going to smoke a big fat sack of crack
>>83971936
The funny thing was how he didn't want it to be about podracing, and he thought it was just an easter egg for the uber nerds - which it was and always would be regardless of what he stuck up on Maz's castle wall. The ridiculous thing is he said he wanted to have their own things, then proceeded to replace the flags they removed with...absolutely nothing. Also he missed Hondo's flag, which is fucking hilarious. HONDO WINS AGAIN! PROFIT HOOOOOO!
>>83971878
>But even putting that aside, nobody has ever stopped believing in SW. It has continued to be an unstoppable financial juggernaut even before it was sold to Disney.
That's why it was weird to hear people saying "Star Wars is back!" as if it had ever actually gone anywhere. Even if they're specifically referring to the Star Wars they grew up with, the OT, it's still wrong because that kind of thinking assumes that the OT had ever gone anywhere. Contrary to popular belief, the prequels didn't even dominate SW merchandise for that long- it was only in movie years (99, 02 and 05, and even 02 is kind of iffy since that year's marketing push was specifically branded as "saga" so it didn't focus solely on AOTC nearly as much as the other two movies got in their respective years). OT-related merchandise has been available and even heavily advertised, uninterrupted, for decades now.
>>83972077
That's what makes it so stupid, it wasn't anything major. It was something that you wouldn't even notice unless you were either specifically looking for those flags or were already so familiar with them that you'd spot them instantly. It was a harmless thing and he couldn't even allow that.
>>83971780
Sigh. I meant ANH.

>That's why it was weird to hear people saying "Star Wars is back!" as if it had ever actually gone anywhere.
I suppose being fair to them it was a bit background. Most people wouldn't consider TCWs as worth watching solely because "it's just a kid's show", but that's standard Animation Age Ghetto at play. Otherwise we wouldn't have had dozens of news stories when TFA showed up about how FINALLY there is a female Jedi. Because even if we discount Shaak Ti and Aayla as very minor background characters, well Ahsoka has been around for much of the last decade. And it wasn't as if they could say "theatrical main character female Jedi" since she was in the 2008 movie which was released in theaters.
But it's reporters and bloggers, you hardly expet them to do their homework.

Most: ESB

>>83972153

I am absolutely 100% not arguing with that sentiment, you are completely correct.
People argue he and his best bud Simon Pegg are avid Prequel haters. Not 100% sure about JJ but Pegg is completely unrepentent about his hatred of the Prequels and anybody who cares about them.
>I don't really have any respect for anyone who thinks those films are good. They’re not. (They’re) a monumental misunderstanding of what the (original) three films are about. It's an exercise in utter infanticide ... (like) George Lucas killing his kid.
http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Simon-Pegg-Blunt-Opinion-Star-Wars-Prequel-Fans-93467.html
The fact that he says something like that and then gleefully joins JJ in Nu Trek is hilarious, which barely feel like Star Trek. In fact if you ripped removed the names for the movie, the characters, the ship, and the technology it would just be another mediocre scifi movie. It sells itself as Star Trek but has absolutely none of the spirit or vision Roddenberry put into Trek.

>>83971936
>He removed the Podracing flags Easter Eggs from the entrance to Maz's Castle
What? Explain.
>>83972331
That's why it was bizarre that Pegg agreed to be in TCW. Sure, he played an OT character, but he was still part of a show that was literally bridging Episodes 2 and 3.
>>83972396
Several podracer (and TCW/Rebels) flags and emblems were visible in the trailer. Abrams had most of them removed for the theatrical release.
I think what happened was that he asked the art department to come up with some banners, and they decided to throw in podracer flags, which he likely didn't immediately catch and only went in and changed them when someone pointed it out to him.
>>83972405
His favorite SW is ESB so the theory I've seen from people is he jumped at the chance to play a character from that movie.
Kind of makes it all the better, since at this point he's acting like a Dengar. Not the EU version who had his good points but the kind of jokey version you'd expect from a guy who wraps himself up in TP.
>>83972458
That's bullshit that he removed them. Only the most hardcore Star Wars fans were ever going to notice them anyway.
>>83972329
>>83972344
>>83972390
>Least rewatchable: ANH
Y'all niggas must be out of your minds.
>>83972290
>least rewatchable Star Wars movie
I don't feel like this is possible. They're all fun and enjoyable movies.
>>83972547
Even then they barely stand out. Also why wouldn't Maz and her less than scrupulous customers not be pod racer fans? I'm sure plenty of people in the galaxy tune in and bet. At the very least having Anakin's banner is interesting. Given just how much she knows about the Skywalker family her having picked up that bit of Anakin memento makes perfect sense. Though I don't think she'd have it on the outside of her castle, more like on the inside in her treasure room with the sword.
>>83972356
>listened to the audio book
I can't get any joy reading an audio book. I like imaging the characters for myself.
>>83972405
I think he was cool with it solely because it was an OT character. Still kind of hypocritical of him, given that to this day he is still outright venomous towards the prequels.
Like I could understand him in 2001 when he ranted about it in Spaced. But as recently as this year he's still on this "it's all shit anyone who likes it is a moron fuck Lucas fuck Jar Jar fuck midichlorians my childhood was raped" binge that's honestly pretty pathetic to cling to for this long.
>>83972676
Yeah, Simon had a kneejerk reaction to them that still hasn't ended. I don't blame him for being disappointed, but he still thinks midi-chlorians are literally meant to be the Force.
>>83972753
>thinks midi-chlorians are literally meant to be the Force
A couple weeks ago, an anon said they believe most people new fans hate the prequel because its the popular thing to do in Star Wars. The midichlorians are proof of that. Most people spout what makes them "ridiculous" when it's clear they have no idea what they are. It's explained pretty clear in the movie they aren't the Force or ruin the mystics of Star Wars. They made an entire arc in TCW explaining they arent even close to being understood but fanboys cant think for themselves sometimes.
>>83972331
>The fact that he says something like that and then gleefully joins JJ in Nu Trek is hilarious
The fact that he was willing to include Seth Rogen in one of his movies was a big sign that he has no integrity.
This is probably super old and has been discussed already, but I just found this on the booru and it's my first time seeing it.
Supposedly Dagobah is so Force-sensitive that it exists in its own reality like Mortis. I actually really like this idea, because it explains one of Empire Strikes Back's biggest plot incongruences, and it also makes sense for Yoda to go there. What do you think?
>>83972895
Yeah it's pretty old.
>>83972356
Close enough, I guess.
>>83972895
I'm not super-thrilled with the idea, but I don't hate it either. It makes Yoda training Luke in that short span of time more logical, so that's a plus.
Was anyone else mad when they realized Snoke's size was just a result of the hologram projection?
When I first saw him I got so awed and excited. The thought of having a literal giant as the main villain was completely new to the franchise and opened up my imagination for a kinds of cool story potential
Then "lol nope, hologram sucker". The whole thing felt like one big kick in the gut.
>>83967682
If I had a time machine I would absolutely go back and beat the shit out of my younger self...and to also invest in Apple.
>>83973153
It seemed like Maz and Snoke were the same species too me
>>83973153
I was certain they would pull a "pay no attention to the man behind the curtains" deal
>>83973153
To be fair, they've said his regular self is supposed to be about 7 feet tall, so he's still big. Having him be a literal giant would've at least given him something to set him apart from Palpatine, though.
>>83973886

>Neal Scanlan, chief of creature and droid effects, told PEOPLE, "This character is much better executed as a CGI character. That's just a practical reality when he's 7-foot-something tall; he's very, very thin."
>>83975452
So just an effects guy said it and nobody involved in the actual story?
>>83975452
>>83975585
I think Andy Serkis also said the character is 7 foot tall as well.
>>83975452
My problem with that is simple: Snoke looked bad. The effects looked bad. Like incredibly bad CGI. He moved wrong, or he moved TOO RIGHT (A frequent problem with CGI characters.) Something was off, majorly.
I do believe they found it easier to just do him in CGI though. Throwing CGI at a problem usually is easier.

>>83972331
Well, I just lost all respect for Simon Pegg.
>>83976132
My thoughts exactly. For some reason both Snoke and Maz moved too slowly, it looked like it was hard for them to move freely. Maybe Maz can be excuses because of her size though. Besides from Snoke's lazy ass design, it makes no sense to CGI him at all. He can barely move at all so I doubt he'll be swinging lightsabers even at his size and if he's going to just sit around for the whole trilogy like the Emperor then you might as well just get a person in a large costume.
