Keldroc posted: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. From all the docos and behind-the-scenes specials I've seen it's pretty clear that once the cameras start rolling the scriptwriters usually get shoved to the side and ignored as much as possible. The film now belongs to the director and he can make all the changes he feels like and if the scriptwriter is hanging around pointing out that things don't make sense then that's just going to start arguments and waste time & money and piss everyone off so they'll maybe be able to visit the set a few times and hang out in the background if they're lucky. If the studio decides that films with an action sequence at the 12 minute mark track better with audiences then someone better start shooting at someone else at 11.55. If the guys in finance decide that it'll be cheaper to film in Tunisia than in Florida then all the swamp scenes suddenly get changed to desert scenes. If the editor decides that the middle third is too slow then that scene where they explain the maguffin (and thus the entire plot) gets replaced with a wacky fart joke. If actor X's current TV series suddenly gets huge ratings then his cameo appearance will be expanded to 15 scenes, or if he gets drunk and posts an angry tweet about the director his character will be cut entirely. If an A-list movie star feels their character works better with a Russian accent and a limp then they usually get their way. If the scriptwriter isn't cool with adding all these changes to the script then it's super easy to replace them with another writer who can follow orders. Sometimes the studio will hire a director who has his own favourite scriptwriters so the original guy will be kicked out straight away and the script he poured his heart and soul into will be completely rewritten. Sometimes the studio will hire one director and spend a year or so prepping a film but then for some reason they hire a new director who wants to take the film in a totally different direction but they've already spent X million dollars on pre-production so the new writers have to figure out how to fit a bunch of scenes from the old script into the new script. Sometimes marketing discovers that test audiences don't like the ending so the studio will insist that it be rewritten. Basically that one guy who put a bunch of words onto some pages 5 years ago was the only one who was primarily concerned about everything making sense and almost everyone who touched the project after that was WAY more concerned that everything looked cool and would sell a bunch of tickets. I'm surprised that Hollywood films end up making any sense at all.

Fetus Tree posted:wtf book is that from He's originally from the 1970s Marvel comics:  Note that he was apparently inspired by Bugs Bunny and appeared 7 years before Bucky O'Hare, that other green gun-toting spacefaring rabbit. quote:After his appearance in the Marvel story arc, Jaxxon went unreferenced for over twenty years. He was brought out of obscurity in the 2001 Star Wars Gamer 4 article The Starhoppers of Aduba-3, by Pablo Hidalgo, Cory J. Herndon, and Michael Mikaelian. This article gave background information on Jaxxon and his species, as well as summarizing his actions in the Marvel run. Akin to the creators of Jaxxon, Hidalgo drew inspiration from Bugs Bunny in his choice of Coachelle as Jaxxon's homeworld. In the 1953 short "Bully for Bugs," Bugs asks, "Excuse me, can you direct me to the Coachella Valley and the Giant Carrot Festival…therein?" Hidalgo carefully mirrored this sentence during the article, also ending his in "therein." Additionally, Hidalgo drew references to another Looney Tunes short, "What's Up Doc?," when mentioning Jaxxon's former mercenary group, the Boys of Corus. These references to Bugs Bunny were not without precedent, as Goodwin also played up this relationship in Star Wars 16: The Hunter, naming two bounty hunters that were trying to capture Jaxxon as Dafi and Fud. These names were references to the Looney Tunes characters Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd, who were constantly trying to capture Bugs.

Do Sith ever make deals with the Jedi/Good Guy forces to further their own goals, by acting as an informant or something. Their philosophy says power is the most important thing, so that should mean team loyalty could take a back seat, right? Or does this break the "no moral ambiguity allowed" rule.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:Return of the Jedi is awesome and anyone who doesn't like it is an rear end in a top hat. Acknowledging that it's incredibly flawed and very prequel-ish in its structure and writing isn't the same as not liking it. It's most certainly not "awesome" except in specific places, though. It contains the god tier chorus music cue when Luke makes his final assault on Vader, but it also contains the belching frog, who is also apparently an assassin or something. And really the horrible handling of Han Solo's character is unforgivable. I realize Ford didn't want to do it anymore, but there's just no effort whatsoever going on there.

Keldroc posted: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. Agreed 100%. All the so called flaws in the PT first appeared in ROTJ, and of course in the subsequent "Special Editions". So, much like the idea of the Borg in Star Trek (who were in fact only truly cool for their first couple of appearances and then quickly got ruined), George had already succumbed to madness back in the early 80's. We should take the Prequels as the work of a man who's gone crazy some time ago, and not merely in 1999. Your childhood was raped before you were born. Also, as an answer to the details your provide above, like anything and everything in Star Wars that doesn't make sense, the answer is: The Force. And it works within the movies. For example, say Luke has a vision of Jabba's yacht exploding and everyone on it dying and all his friends getting away safely. He may not know exactly how that's gonna happen, but he knows its going to happen, so he just comes up with some half-assed plan and goes for it, trusting in the Force that it will all work out as he's foreseen.

Action fleet toys were the #1 coolest Star Wars toys ever and they're the only ones I'm not selling I never had hoth, but I had the death star. Had most of the ships too, even the really rare ones like the TIE Defender, E-Wing and StarViper.
