I wonder if Disney will actually have some semblance of quality control over the new EU this time around and it's okay for a while before it inevitably turns into a giant overblown festering pile of poo poo *reads some marvel comics* lol who are we kidding honestly

RocketLunatic posted: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. This theory conveniently forgets that Vader assumed Padme was dead. And if you don't want to acknowledge the prequels, then it seems like Vader didn't know about Luke until after a New Hope. Not saying Lucas did this intentionally, its probably just a coincidence that it happened this way.

Well Luke is going to have a beard in this one so maybe he turned evil in the 31(?) years between films. His first action as a servant of the Dark Side is to slam a garage door on Han Solo's foot.

He was tasked with the cataloguing of antiquities, and spent much of his time on his own. Korrin spent years researching the Jedi Order. He became a total fanatic of the Jedi, and an expert on all there was to know about them. The man began indulging in wild fantasies, and his grasp on reality weakened. Korrin was taken by surprise when the Imperial Security Bureau ordered that the antiquities section of Obroa-skai be closed down, citing a "public safety issue." The bureau destroyed Korrin's entire wing.  Lets see how Lucasarts hosed up video games. http://kotaku.com/how-lucasarts-fell-apart-1401731043 quote:In early 2009, a small team of LucasArts employees started working on a Star Wars game called Underworld, according to two people familiar with the project. Designed to complement an in-development television show of the same name, Underworld went through several early designs, including an open-world game with quests and other RPG-ish elements.

But the Marvel Movies stuff seems to be kept fairly well organized. Applying that model to new Star Wars stuff wouldn't be the worst way to go about it.

Also there was a great bit I read somewhere about Lucas dropping by Lucasarts and the team were like "So our hero is Jim Bob Whoever the gently caress-" (I forget the name) and Lucas said something like "I don't like that name, he should have a faster name like Zip Zipper or something" and everyone thought he was kidding but he was serious. edit: found it! quote:George Lucas would periodically check in on the status of the games his company was making, lending creative input and advice. The developer I talked to sighs, and agitatedly says, “In one viewing of Fracture, [Lucas] said it looked really good, but he didn’t like [Mason Briggs’] name. We’re like, ‘What do you mean, George?’ He responded to the effect of, ‘It doesn’t really fit. When he jumps on stuff, he moves pretty fast. I like B.J. Dart.’ and: quote:A similar situation arose with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’s protagonist, Starkiller. “[That name] was only supposed to be a nickname or call sign, not a proper name from the beginning,” a former LucasArts employee says. The development team hoped that Lucas would give Vader’s apprentice a Darth moniker, which at the time, was something that didn’t happen often.

You left out the best part. quote:The team threw a Hail Mary to George, saying the game would have more credibility if the apprentice had a ‘Darth’ title,” a Force Unleashed team member says. Lucas agreed that this situation made sense for Sith royalty, and offered up two Darth titles for the team to choose from. “He threw out ‘Darth Icky’ and ‘Darth Insanius.’ There was a pregnant pause in the room after that. People waiting for George to say ‘just kidding,’ but it never comes, and he just moved on to another point.” Edit: Well, guess not!

I had the suitcase shaped hoth playset from the action fleet series, along with the remote controlled AT-AT walker and several other versions of the AT-AT and scout walkers. The battle felt like it took forever. I miss being a kid. The Death Star playset loving ruled, with the spiral elevator and poo poo. My best friend had it, I had Castle Greyskull, so we would routinely have CRAZY rear end STAR WARS/HE-MAN CROSSOVERS I had a smaller Hoth playset which had a collapsing ice bridge, and Yoda's house which had "levitating rocks" and a swamp made out of foam for you to shove R2-D2 in

the cd thread is the worst thread in the history of CD "no, everything in the prequels was put there by george deliberately and it is his vision for the bad things about the jedi and the republic" *ignores the making-of footage that clearly shows that george realised how badly he hosed up up to and including wishing he could re-edit the first film*

tbqh, i find george lucas kind of sad in a way. he thought that he was the man behind star wars' success and decided he could make the prequels all by his own. and then he poured his heart and soul into the first one, and it was not received well. after that, it strikes me like he just gave up on the prequels as anything except a money-making exercise.

Little kids around 5-14, the actual target market of Star Wars, seem to consistently love the poo poo out of the new trilogy while it's entirely the lightsaber equivalent of bronies bitching about how superior the 80s movies were so actually I would say that the prequels were really good?

Milky Moor posted:the cd thread is the worst thread in the history of CD The worst ever is the old Prometheus thread, which was something like 800+ pages of the same five posting superstars having the same, single argument with 3,000 posters from outside CD as they wandered into the thread. But I will grant honorable mention to a thread where first-year liberal arts majors willfully ignore documented information about films in order to theorycraft what Marx would have thought about the movie (the only metric on which movies should be judged).

Light Gun Man posted:Marvel must have gotten some Captain Harlock tapes while they were working on Spiderman with Toei. It depends. Captain Harlock was shown on Japanese-language TV outlets in Los Angeles and New York in the late '70s, shown up on Quebecis TV when the French localization aired, and then distributed by Harmony Gold on syndicated TV in the mid-80s. And, even then, he had shown up in Roger Corman film localization of Galaxy Express 999 in 1980.

If you look at the story and themes and setting of a stupid trade dispute and galactic politics they're obviously not solely aimed at kids so this argument is dumb, they're bad movies that didn't work, kids might like jar jar and fart jokes but there's a whole bunch of boring poo poo explicitly not there for kids too which was bad.

kids actually thought the new trilogy was boring as gently caress as it veered between trade agreements and solemn stone faced jedis travelling around places for incomprehensible reasons. Also the action was bad At least this is what I thought when I watched phantom menace (more like phantom GARABGE lol) back in 99 and im pretty sure i was a kid back then
