Just seen a retcon that's been introduced, sorry if this is being repeated. It turns out that this ship from Episode IV...  Click here for the full 1124x416 image. ...and this ship from Episode III  Click here for the full 1200x470 image. ...are no longer the same ship. The reason for this being that the guys in charge found it difficult to reconcile the cosmetic differences between the two (despite the in-universe explanation being entirely plausible). So, the ship you see in Episode III is no longer the Tantive IV because it looks too different. it is instead now this:  Click here for the full 1280x928 image. Sundered Heart

I wonder how many production artists for the prequals actually rewatched the goddamn movies while making the sets and CGI. Or even watched them at all. Jesus.

I don't think ICMG is something to get mad over. Its a Joke to everyone I think. I think getting mad about the serious Background entries on Wookieepedia is more worth your time.

They divvy up the Skywalker children on that ship, and what did their mother die of? That's right! A Sundered Heart! I can almost hear Lucas's self-congratulatory "Get it? GET IT?!" to the audience.

deathsuxdontdie posted:I hate the mandalorian poo poo as well. I'm not sure why people stuck to Boba like leeches. When did that start? In the original trilogy he was a lovely bounty hunter who only caught Han because Vader gave him to Boba. Then he got killed in a really embarrassing way in Jedi. Man gently caress you guys, Boba Fett was the poo poo until Traviss got to mandalorians. Read the story about him in Tales of the Empire where he fucks up a whole stormtrooper base single handedly. I'll give you that in the actual OT all he did was look cool and die stupidly, but in pre Traviss EU he was the man. The secret was that he did all the awesome stuff he did because he was personally a bad rear end, not because he was Mando. If there wasn't a PT there wouldn't be clones, and if there weren't clones there wouldn't have been Traviss and if there was no Traviss Boba Fett would still be cool. Goddamnit George...

I've been watching all of the movies on Spike TV over the past few days and wondering, do you think they will ever make more movies (the supposed 7, 8, and 9 or EU) With the way Hollywood is it sure seems likely to me. Any Star Wars movie is an instant 300 million. I wouldn't expect it until Lucas dies though.

About the harrison ford playing old han solo posts, as far as the covers for the fate of the jedi books go, he's the only one who actually looks his age. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Fate_of_the_Jedi near the bottom shows covers for 7 of the 9 books.

R2-D2 died at the end of ANH, which is why he never mentioned to Luke that Leia was his sister. R2 got loving blasted and replaced by another generic astromech, because no one could tell the difference anyway.

Also, some weird guy on the bus unironically tried to tell me that C3PO and R2D2 are the main characters of THE SAGA (There are no trilogies, only THE SAGA) because they are the only ones who appear in 6. I politely nodded and said, "I never thought of it liked that" and then got off the bus two stops early to end the conversation faster.

Locutus Of Bored posted:Threepio would have noticed. uhhh Anakin Skywalker? Anyway, in the early drafts of THE STAR WARS that were based more closely on Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress, they would have been the main characters. I was just thinking and I can't think of a single thing that would have to be changed if Threepio was written out of the PT entirely.

Fett was more of a bad rear end prior to the prequels anyways. At least then there was still a sense of mystery to him and there weren't billions of copies walking around as well. Let's just hope that maybe, just maybe, they say most of Travis's work is no longer cannon, cause that would be

That game was crazy hard, and I hated it so much, but I just kept playing it and playing it, because I was a stubborn ten-year-old and it was Star Wars, goddammit. Of course, whenever any of my friends brought it up, I scoffed and said I beat that game in, like, two hours, cuz I'm super good at Playstation, you guys.

Also a couple levels in Qui-Gon gets this rolling attack that makes just about every enemy trivial. I could beat the timed challenge bonus stage without breaking a sweat using that move alone. That game was the best one of my childhood.

Casimir Radon posted:Good for you. I had absolutely no warning about what I saw. Lucas and Spielberg ran around for the intervening 19 years between Crusade and Crystal Skull talking about how they'd only make an new Indiana Jones movie if they could do it right and not leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth, and then they did it anyway. I can only imagine how much Harrison Ford must have been paid to be in that movie. I bet he HATED working with Lucas since Ford likes to have a lot of input on the movies he's in.
