WhatEvil posted:I recently watched Episodes 4, 5, 2, 3, 6 in that order (the "Machete order") like I assume an awful lot of people did. This was the first time I'd watched them in this order or that close in time (did it over about a week) and a few things stood out: I was recently pointed to the Anti-Cheese Edits of 1,2 & 3, of which I have watched 1 & 2 so far. They are on Youtube in HD. Here's the first. Find the rest from there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfQBdRcgizc The edits include stuff like: - no mention of midichlorians anywhere - horribly racist alien voices overdubbed with "alien speech" and subtitled - Jar-Jar is never comic relief. No stepping in poop or other "hilarious" Jar-Jar moments - romance scenes between Anakin & Padme are toned WAY down on cheesiness. (Still pretty awful, but WAY better) They are still bad movies, but at least now they are WATCHABLE bad movies.

WoodrowSkillson posted:Most of this I agree with but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater in claiming the new movie is better then the original trilogy. Marcia Lucas did an unbelievable job editing those movies, and if anything, one of the few legit criticisms of the new movies is it moves extremely fast to a slight detriment to the plot a couple times. This might also be my memory cheating as I haven't seen the theatrical cuts in a while. I think the only time I've seen the original trilogy as of late is those abominable Special Editions that Lucas put out before Phantom Menace came out. I'll have to see about hunting the originals down. WhatEvil posted:I recently watched Episodes 4, 5, 2, 3, 6 in that order (the "Machete order") like I assume an awful lot of people did. This was the first time I'd watched them in this order or that close in time (did it over about a week) and a few things stood out: I like how the Machete order ignores Episode 1. I'm still baffled why Anakin had to be a prepubescent since Amidala was at least in her teens. Then again, that's more Lucas meddling to make children the main focus in the movies even though this makes very little (and very weird) narrative sense. But yeah, Episode 7 had a lot more space so you could take in everything. Lucas' second trilogy is essentially the cinematic version of those webpages back in the '90s that had nothing but gifs and sensory overload in place of....well, anything.

To get back on topic, have some fail that isn't related to a bearded director who pissed away his talent and now is bitchy about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evj6y2xZCnM

I think the most significant development of TFA is that it had more believable romantic chemistry between Finn & Rey than between Padme & Anakin over the entire prequel trilogy. Is it possible to have Shrodinger's schadenfreude over the possibility of them making the relationship official in the subsequent films? Beause god drat, the MRA/dark Enlightenment/Racist Fuckwad tears would/will be so delicious.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:Ah, yes, the 'like I sold my film to white slavers' or such line that he took back a day or so later after the film's first success weekend. Sour grapes are best when taken from the tree ala lightsaber. I still think the dialogue was one of the best improvements over the originals. Everyone in TFA generally speaks like actual people and the jokes are jokes, not slapstick comedy thrown into the middle of drama or a battle scene.

DVDs aren't HD either, and even they're superior to Laserdisc. The BluRay releases of Star Wars were HD, but they come with all the extra poo poo Lucas added.

I would assume it has to be his role, as he seems pretty useless as a fighter, or strategist, or anything else, and he doesn't have the force. I'm thinking his "mental conditioning" kicks in and he turns heel, only to return in movie three and saved through the POWER OF LOVE.

I thought it would be really cool if he became a non-jedi (or force-using in general) lightsaber expert. We saw Grievious do it (kinda), so it's possible, and I would love to see someone just be a pure sword fighter: no magic and a minimum of guns. And Finn wasn't terrible with the saber despite a complete lack of training.

Oscar Isaac kind of hinted in some interviews that his future love interest is apparent in TFA. He really only talks to BB8 and Finn, so I'm personally hoping for it to be BB8.

Star Wars is full of schadenfreude. I have never seen a film series whose creator selling the property to a third-party outright has led to a significant increase in quality across the board. And you are absolutely right: there's more believable romance in Episode 7 than there is in Episodes 1-3. It's astounding. chitoryu12 posted:I still think the dialogue was one of the best improvements over the originals. Everyone in TFA generally speaks like actual people and the jokes are jokes, not slapstick comedy thrown into the middle of drama or a battle scene. The whole tone makes sense as opposed to the Marketing Mad Libsity of the prequel trilogy. The beauty is that the two in the foreground are related. The background kid just happens to fall at the same time. Poetry in motion. Samfucius posted:Hmm. Never considered this but it makes a bit of sense. I liked that as well: the lightsaber suddenly isn't only for Jedi/Sith, but it's their preferred weapon. That doesn't mean you can't get really good with it, however, but having the Force isn't a prereq. Kay Kessler posted:"The field test is over. Cut power to the android children." This is awesome. Continue being awesome. Roro posted:"When I said to sweep them off their feet with your ice-skating, I didn't mean like this!" We need another edition of Blanka is a Jerk for this.

I remember someone linking a thread on stormfront called "beautiful white women", which was full of models. Then one dude pointed out that basically every single one of them wasn't a pure blood (some of them 100% latino or jewish), and people started losing their poo poo and doing mental gymnastics to explain why they found them attractive.

Look at the way they look at each other and interact. If they were a man and a woman, everyone would be tripping over themselves to describe why the two of them have romantic chemistry. I really hope they go full on gay with Star Wars. After making a movie with a black guy, Hispanic guy, and a woman as the protagonists, making the black and Hispanic guys gay lovers would actually kill someone on Return of Kings.
