Started watching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qXan-dcl1E LOL, the way he talks to Spielberg is the way my son talks to me about some poo poo I don't care about. "What you don't realize, dad, is that these gloombars are not that good, so you have to actually go up to them and tell them what to do in this game... Dad, are you listening? This is important."

burritolingus posted:Somehow missed the Boba Fett talk. Boba was about as dead as anyone gets in this PG-rated movie series. I mean sure he has a mystique to him (He disintegrates people! He's a little too hardcore for Darth Vader!), but when you stop to pay attention the EU also brings everybody else back to life for increasingly lame stories too. And outside of a few cameos in video games, Boba really only shows up in the books, which range from bad to awful. It's OK though, what really killed the character beyond dead was the prequels. Now with the rest of the EU he is truly dead (until they bring him back for an Episode VII cameo because if there's one thing Abrams can't resist, it's fanservice).

Kimmalah posted:So do all the Sith and secret apprentices do this too or is there some Imperial exception? Because it seems like banning all lightsaber construction would really be a problem if Vader's ever breaks. Rule #1 of any despotic society is that the despot's men don't have to obey the laws. Also apparently Sith synthesize their red crystals because industry is unnatural and evil even though this is a movie series about spaceships and the crystal is going into a laser sword.

burritolingus posted:It's less closure for Boba and more closure for Han. Han really doesn't best Boba. He just sort of accidentally knocks him into a desert vagina with teeth. It's anti-climatic and lame. From a storytelling point, Han should have outsmarted and gotten the best of Boba in the end. Maybe not even on Tatooine, but rather on Endor (or the moon of Endor or whatever), like Boba gets out of the vag and tracks Han down there to get revenge, and they face off, but Han outwits him. Closure against the glorified delivery boy that picked him up after Vader beat him? The mighty Boba Fett who loaded and unloaded a frozen Han Solo of a ship with a dolly.

Say what you will about how silly the Ewok stuff is but at least some of them get shot so you feel like maybe there are some stakes to the ground battle. The Luke/Vader/Emperor confrontation was pretty good and Lando flying the Falcon ruled  It's still a competently executed story at least. The same can't really be said for much else that says STAR WARS on it.

dads_work_files posted:I think this one owns Ok, yeah the back story doesn't sound that bad. quote:Starweirds would typically appear to spacers repairing their damaged starship in deep space, or manifest aboard a ship traveling in hyperspace. Upon being spotted, starweirds became enraged and released a loud, piercing telepathic shriek that affected creatures within twenty meters. Due to the call's telepathic nature, it could be heard even in the vacuum of space. Their scream often caused listeners to cower in fear or attempt to flee, although some individuals were able to overcome their terror and fight back. After issuing the shriek, the powerful creature would set upon its foe, shredding them with its sharp claws. A starweird would choose one target and focus on that individual But that name.

The Luke/Vader/Emperor confrontation was pretty good and Lando flying the Falcon ruled its not like bad-bad and some of the scenes in it are the best in the series (like the luke/vader/emperor bit) but its not nearly as well focused as the other two. like for instance the whole jabba bit is good on its own but has very little to do with everything after it besides establishing that luke is now a badass and that han is now not a statue

Stuff like this... that it blows people's minds is weird. Because it's just bad writing, and if Lucas had paid attention to any of the few good ideas from the EU or gotten decent script writers, he could have made it work better. http://kotaku.com/wild-theory-luke-skywalker-wasnt-meant-to-be-a-jedi-h-1678357085 The best thing about the Thrawn Trilogy, which I think I read all three many years ago (though I only remember pieces of it), was that it said the reason why Yoda hid out on Dagobah was because a dark Jedi was killed there. And that lingering dark side presence explains Luke's hallucination or trial or whatever... and how Yoda was undetected by Vader. Cause that also explains, in a better way, why Luke and Obi Wan hid out on Tattoine and were undetected or whatever by Vader and the Emperor because of Anakin's murderous slaughter and turn to the dark side years before. To me, that seemed really like a clever idea that opened the idea that there could be other Jedi hiding in the universe and caches of knowledge and what not. But of course, you go on to read about all the other crap about Dagobah, and you realize it's all a sad mess. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dagobah quote:In a late stage of the war, and under the guidance of the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn, Yoda briefly traveled to Dagobah seeking answers to explain mysterious "voices" only he could hear. There, he was given the spiritual task of finding out how to become one with the Force and achieve true immortality. Yoda noted how strong the planet was with the Force, and learned from Qui-Gon's Force-spirit that it was one of the purest places in the Galaxy. This formed the basis for why Yoda eventually chose to endure his time in Exile there. During this short visit, Yoda entered the tainted cave and experienced a powerful vision showing him the extent of the Sith's tightening hold on the galaxy, the impending destruction of the Jedi Order, and the confirmed existence of Darth Sidious.

Say what you will about how silly the Ewok stuff is but at least some of them get shot so you feel like maybe there are some stakes to the ground battle. The Luke/Vader/Emperor confrontation was pretty good and Lando flying the Falcon ruled I would say Jedi is the first sign of incompetence in the mainline films. Almost none of it makes sense, tons of it is a retread of the first movie, the Leia-is-your-sister thing is dragged in from nowhere and isn't remotely believable, the film has no idea what to do with Han Solo throughout, the Luke/Leia treehouse scene is easily as cringe-inducing as any scene in the prequels...it's really pretty terrible aside from the space battle and the Luke/Vader/Emperor story thread. Even the initial setup makes no sense, when you think about it. Clearly Leia wasn't supposed to be captured in her attempt to get Han out of Jabba's palace, so Luke has to go in after her when she never shows up to their rendezvous. But then what was the plan? It almost makes sense but not quite. You've got Lando embedded, which gives you intel from the inside, which lets you know that Jabba has melted down his translator droid. So you send Threepio and Artoo in because you need a translator droid in place for Leia to pull the Boushh thing, and Threepio would never agree to the plan so you put the message to Jabba in Artoo. So then Leia goes in as Boushh, with Chewie as her entry pass because Jabba has beef with Chewie as well as Han. So now the plan is that Leia will thaw Han out and drag his blind rear end out of the palace somehow unseen? Why not move the whole block out, since it apparently has repulsors on it for moving it around? At any rate, let's say Jabba was none the wiser, and Leia drags Han out of the palace and they get away. Now presumably Lando can get Chewie out of the prison, but who gets the droids? How do you extract Artoo from his servant role, and on top of of that, Threepio from his position directly next to Jabba himself? Does Luke just go in and mind trick them? Does he go in and slaughter them? Clearly Luke is ready for a fight given how quickly he Force pulls someone's blaster out when negotiations go wrong. But then why stick the lightsaber in Artoo, especially when you have no idea where Artoo will be? Unless the plan goes wrong exactly how it goes wrong, Artoo's placement and possession of the saber makes no sense, and Luke's involvement in the plan is sketchy as hell. It's all just an excuse to get the gang back together and have the action scene at the sarlacc, of course, which is a fun scene but still thoughtless writing. And then of course the rest of the film is about the totally unbelievable and unearned sister thing, because "No, there is another" was meant to be a hook for Episodes 7-9 but then Lucas decided not to do them so they had to come up with something and that something was Leia being a Skywalker, which doesn't even make partial sense considering Obi-Wan apparently didn't know about her in ESB because otherwise why did Yoda have to tell him there was another? Plus another Death Star, because nobody could be arsed to come up with a new superweapon, which is pretty funny considering that's almost a full time job in the EU. Basically, RotJ has many of the same flaws that make the prequels so bad, and if we'd looked at RotJ honestly beforehand, Episode 1 really shouldn't have surprised us at all. Empire is not just the best of the Star Wars films, it's the weird Star Wars film because it's so good.
