Is there any hope that Disney will retcon some of the worst parts of the prequels? I was - to put it mildly - disappointed in learning that behind that insane mask Boba Fett was just a chubby kid.

Spaceman Future! posted:Other than Emma Stone? .......yes? Emma Stone is the next best option. But not the best. Cast Emma Stone as Tenel Ka. Jennifer Lawrence would be able to pull off "comfortable techie that is happiest when crawling through a grimy engine". Emma Stone could pull off "young woman trying to distance herself from a privileged half of her family she can't stand by wrapping herself in the culture of other half" really well. edit: why the gently caress do I remember this poo poo?

Yeah, but that chubby kid is going to turn into a kickass-Temuera-Morrison-butterfly, so it's ok. On another note: I really hope Disney doesn't retcon a single thing. For every Jar Jar removed we risk a politically correct Solo.

gently caress HFR and 3d. It truly was a very crisp, clean way to watch 3d in the Hobbit - and it definitely was an "experience" to see just how well they did their special effects compared to the LotR trilogy, but after I saw the Hobbit on regular blu-ray on a TV that doesn't interpolate or do HFR/100hz or anything I can honestly say I enjoyed the movie better. I guess it was less "distracting" if I had to describe it. I just felt the cinematography and effects were a little more believable with that blur Jackson wanted to get rid of.

I guess it was less "distracting" if I had to describe it. I just felt the cinematography and effects were a little more believable with that blur Jackson wanted to get rid of. I felt the problem with the Hobbit wasn't necessarily with the HFR. It was that with HFR you can very easily pick out editing changes, and you can see every time some editor sped up a scene or pingponged frames or looped something. I'm surprised they didn't do some sort of resampling (perhaps it's difficult and Nuke doesn't handle it) after doing the editing. But in the very first sequence, when Bilbo opens the chest, it's obviously sped up for timing reasons. Maybe I'm wrong, and the "wrongness" is just a side effect of the HFR, but it did feel like almost every instance of jankiness happened when someone was moving faster due to time compression. I'd guess the problem is this -- when you change the timing of a shot, but don't fix the motion blur, it's going to look hosed up if you have super high fidelity. The old Highlander TV series did this poo poo all the time to have 'fast' sword battles, and it felt exactly the same.

I have not watched into darkness, but I have seen reviews and a spoiler or two. it does not seem too impressive. Before that, there was some optimism about the next star wars because the last trek movie was star wars esque, and a. lot of the flaws were eexcusable between being the first in the start of a new franchise and the writers strike. Into darkness sounds not quite as positive and does not have either excuse. Has it changed anyone's outlooks for the New Star Wars?

STID is actually really good for the first half. Then for fans it devolves into referencing and mimicking previous Trek to the point of distraction. And since the resolution is heavily telegraphed, it diffused a lot of the tension (maybe they were scared to go full bore with it). My wife say it with me and isn't a Trek fan so the references didn't distract her. However, even she felt the last half didn't build up or earn its conclusion so it felt sloppy for her too. That said, his team for Star Wars (different from the STID writers and IMDB lists Michael Arndt as a co-writer) has a story outline from Lucas and a clean slate to do whatever they want to in the SW universe. However, they could again get scared or go way to safe so who knows. Thwomp fucked around with this message at 20:36 on May 21, 2013 |

It definitely makes me concerned that the new Star Wars movies will fall down the same path of wanting to do something new then getting scared of being original at the last second and falling back on references and old stories. It's fine for Star Trek because its referencing some of the greatest trek movies but I feel like for Star Wars it will be too easy for them to fall into the EU trap and end up with anti force space lizards and bug orgies if they get scared and fall back to references. Had into darkness not been referencing those movies and instead had to fall back on nemesis era films it would have been a disaster.

To be honest, one of the best moves in the EU was killing off main characters. Say what you want, but killing characters like Chewbacca made you rethink the invincibility of main characters. This adds tension. Also, I'm not a big fan of reboots for the most part, but I'd rather the prequels get redone . Jedi's ending is a solid ending. There's a galactic resolve. The conflict is over. There's no NEED for a story beyond it. At least with prequels you can create something because the conflict still exists.

It's easy to create a conflict when an empire fails and you've got bits and pieces of ad hoc forces fighting to regain or retain power. The best way to do it would be to remove the original characters and just have their children doing stuff.

There's a different, but still very powerful story to be had there. Most of the EU's best stuff revolves around the idea that even after the Rebel Alliance takes over the Empire's old seat of power, evil comes out of the woodwork. The New Republic has to govern justly and promote peace while fending off Remnant forces. That's a story that I'm sure would speak to American and European audiences on the big screen. We live in a very different world now. What I hope is that they don't just rehash the same story of our heroes vs. the big bad guy. It was incredibly executed in the original trilogy, but there's a reason why the prequel trilogy was significantly different.

Most of the EU's best stuff revolves around the idea that even after the Rebel Alliance takes over the Empire's old seat of power, evil comes out of the woodwork. This is never ever a powerful story and the largest problem with EU stories. The dbz syndrome of more and more powerful things appearing out of nowhere is lazy and awful. On no look out the suncrusher is 100 times more powerful then the Death Star! Oh no it's the super galaxy gun that's like the sun crusher but bigger!! The best stories and sequels are never just magnitudes bigger. In a new hope they had to stop the Death Star from killing everyone who disagreed with the empire. Then in empire strikes back the conflict is way smaller with it being a personal fight for Luke to save his friends. It's a smaller and more personal story that ends up being infinitely more powerful then if the super star fucker had showed up that could blow up galaxies.
