Filthy Casual posted:If Greedo shoots and misses at that range, it eliminates him as a credible threat...he's right across the table. If Han has the reflexes to dodge a point blank shot at his head, he's showing straight Jedi skillz. In the original scene, Han says "I bet you are" and blasts him, which flows a lot better than a retaliatory shot. If Han attempts to jump to light speed and fails, it eliminates him as a credible pilot -- his ship has got a lot of custom modifications. Not having anybody fail at anything flows a lot better.

I do too and honestly it's kinda mixed. A lot of them love clone wars but are more mixed on the prequels themselves. My 11 year old sister was unsure about seeing TFA because she loves the originals but didn't like the prequels. Clone Wars seems to be largely the way to go for prequel stuff for kids I've noticed though. A lot of them like Clone Wars more than they like the OT. I think Clone Wars probably is the definitive Star Wars for a lot of kids. I won't say it eclipses the films but I suspect that a lot of younger folk's idea of Anakin Skywalker is Skyguy and Ahsoka.

Red posted:At least the medals made sense. Is the orb a gift to the Naboo from Nass? Is it a gift from the Naboo to Nass? Is it a gift from the Jedi to both? Is it a thing Nass won in a crane game? Is it the power core from the droid control ship? It is absolute guesswork to figure out what it's supposed to be, and nothing hints at what it could be. It's lazy as poo poo, and it's only there because George Lucas likely said, "They should have an orb to hold up at the end to signify their relationship,", without actually clarifying what it is or does. He had the foundation of an idea, but never fleshed it out, and no one bothered to ask him.

My son and his friends (14, 8th graders) grew up on clone wars, and can tell you all about all the episodes, but gently caress if he can't keep the OT and PT separated after I've explained it 20 times. And they love the PT. Sadly, they are the future. Honestly I hope, more than anything, that this sequal helps put the poo poo in perspective for them.

Sure it'd be nice to have access to the original theatrical cuts—they have archival value if nothing else. And the frustration of trying to crystallize, preserve and subsequently reencounter works that are important to us in the exact form we first found them is pretty universally understandable. I'm just suggesting that said impulse is at the root of original-cut demands rather than anything intrinsic to the quality of the SEs.

Kaiba posted:In the previous star wars thread, Cnut explained how it's based on the Frog Prince fairy tale: The twist is that - and I believe I wrote something about this in the previous thread - the natural love interest for Padme (in a conventional romance, with a love triangle) should be none other than the bumbling but kind-hearted Jar Jar Binks. We've all seen romantic comedies, so we know how this goes. But after the 'harmonious' ending of Phantom Menace, with the two cultures united through the expulsion of the foreign invader, everything is thrown out of balance by Padme's rejection of this 'natural' outcome. Instead of remaining partners with her fellow senator Jar Jar, she is seduced by Anakin. Now, at the end of Attack Of The Clones, she and Anakin are united through the elimination of the foreigners. They get off on being the invaders now - and the Geonosians receive graphic, bloody onscreen deaths. This is why it's the saddened, defeated Jar Jar who votes Palpatine into power. He's trying to bring back that harmony that was lost - but that harmony had always been an illusion. SuperMechagodzilla fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Jan 6, 2016 |

I want a hybrid of the original cuts and the special editions. The cleaned up mattes and stuff are good. The more jarring, obvious additions, like CG Jabba, dinosaurs romping around Mos Eisley, or Jedi Rocks, I would prefer to have the option of not seeing.

I watched the SEs over the week before TFA came out and the cgi additions aged really badly, and that's why the originals should be available as blu-rays. Also Darth Vader shouts "noooo" when he tosses the Emp in ROTJ.

It's a hit or miss show especially in the earlier seasons, but in the later seasons it's surprisingly great at times. It's also very approachable - most episodes are in 1 to 3 episode arcs that are loosely connected so you can pop in and out of ones that strike your fancy. Way more watchable as an adult than you'd think, and pretty grounded most of the time. The new Rebels cartoon is more consistent but way goofier.

I could kinda understand the Emperor saying that while falling to his death, but sorta recall him being vocally silent during that last bit. Just his force lightning hitting stuff on the sides of the pit. EDIT: feedmyleg: right on, I could get down with that. Also handy that its on Netflix.

It's the same scream they used when Luke fell down the Cloud City shaft in the first Empire Strikes Back special edition.

The "nooo" in Jedi is 100% Lucas trolling 'Han Shot First' types with an essentially neutral thematic change which nonetheless eternally taints the film with prequel stink.
