Milky Moor posted:how does the palpatine makeup in the prequels look worse than the palpatine make up from the OT I always assumed/hoped it was something to do with the fact that the actor is older and already wrinkly, so it was harder to apply makeup to him or something?  But yeah that always bugged me too, how the hell did they downgrade it? I'm surprised Lucas didn't just CG him. gently caress I'm surprised he didn't CG everyone Avatar style.

if you could upload your soul through sith magic into new muscleman clone body at will, why would you even bother trundling around as a wrinkled old ballsack of a creature for even a second? once you hit like 30-35 just jump that old corpse into an incinerator and enjoy the next iteration of your youthful backup hardbody.

Weird BIAS posted:There's a fan edit on youtube that condensed the three movies together. into a 2 hour 'character piece' about Anakin. I watched the fan edit, it's pretty bad because it cuts out a lot of story telling elements. For example, Dooku is only shown for two minutes in AOTC, for the typical viewers who are not assberger Star wars nerds, he is assumed to be an important character because he speaking with Palpatine about the war starting, and......that's it......we never hear from him again. Then at the beginning of ROTS, we see space battle erupting for 30 seconds only for the next shot to take place on Coruscant with Anakin and Obi Wan escorting Palpatine like nothing happened. The only thing that came good out of the whole fan edit were the last thirty minutes of ROTS , the Yoda/ Palpatine & Obi / Anakin fight was not shown simultaneously, which gave an excellent pacing , focusing on one thing at a time and also a sense of a period of time passing by ( Padme leaves Coruscant to face anakin, then it's all Yoda fights, follow by Padme confronting Anakin, suggesting the travel time took a while). Then it ended gracefully with Vader rising from the medical table, cutting to black, you hear the breathing , follow by AOTC's imperial march. George Lucas is a horrible film maker with excellent artistic imaginations, but at least he is able to tell a story. A lot of the fan edits tend to be terrible and it makes me feel appreciative that they were never involved in the making of the prequels. the guy that does Mr. Plinkett reviews should be the only one to be involved in a professionally well made fan edit project with major overhauls to improve the films.

There's only so much you can do when the source material sucks rear end and you have to work within the constraints of the main storyline. Editing can't solve humongous problems. Like, the Red Letter Media review of The Phantom Menace talked about how Lucas and Co. knew after their first screening of the first finished cut that they'd hosed up the ending real bad by having 4 storylines, but no amount of editing could undo it.

I tried watching that fan edit and it seemed like they kept some of the wrong stuff and cut some of the wrong stuff. Like, opening with the Maul fight sounded like a good idea at first but the way it worked in execution wasn't that great. You're just kind of thrust into the Duel of Fates mid-song. There's nothing really establishing the opening like there was in the first film with Vader's ship looming over Leia's. And they used the really bad prequel Yoda. And they kept the part in where Kenobi wasn't a knight even though the intro says he was. And the dumb prophecy poo poo. I dunno, I didn't make it through the thing much further than that.

Even the idea of them, because there's all these reveals in the original trilogy that absolutely won't work if the prequels are a thing. Even the Emperor up there is a reveal. He's referenced in the first one, then you sort of see him in the second but not really because he's a grainy hologram wearing a hood, until he's finally revealed in the third one except no you've seen him in the since the first first movie and even saw him doing lightsaber and electricity stuff in the first third movie so woops reveal spoiled.

It's kinda funny reading the CD thread about the prequels because they just ignore how wrong the prequels are with "everyone's lying in the OT". And yeah it makes everything so lame since you seen it "before".

My only exposure to the eu is I read a timothy zahn novel once. It was called Triplet, it was okay. I worked with a guy who was related to Garrick Hagon (Biggs DARKlighter), I want to say nephew maybe? He was like in his 30s and married when I worked with him so I doubt he would have reason to make it up. Bizarrely Porkins (William Hootkins! Lucas why make up these freakin names when nature is giving you better ones?!) was fluent in Chinese and buds with John Lithgow and Tommy Lee Jones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hootkins
