Lord Hydronium posted:Yeah, ROTS had great transfer on the Blu-rays. Unfortunately, TPM just looks awful on them, which is a shame because aesthetically it's probably my favorite of the saga. It's a little jarring that the battle droids have such clunky voices in TPM, but are drastically improved as the films go on. In the Clone Wars cartoon, they're fantastic.

Holy poo poo, my six year old got Disney Infinity 3.0 Star Wars set for his birthday (yes, we know it's been discontinued). He's running around as Luke and starts shooting a Jawa. I told him doesn't have to shoot those and he asks, "Are those good guys?" Thinking he's still a bit young to deal with the slavery implications of Star Wars, I said, "Well, they aren't the bad guys....you just don't have to shoot them." I did not make this up, he asked, "Do they sell droids?" Me, "Yes." "How can they be good guys if they sell droids?"

The last Rogue One trailer doesn't come out until the end of the month. It's supposed to be attached to Doctor Strange. Not sure what you're watching.

Did it feature that Mummy gently caress Dengar or reused Harrison Ford dialogue from Anchorman 2? I still can't believe how many people fell for that one.

Mr. Funny Pants posted:I know I said this before, but how can that not be interpreted as Obi-Wan wanting Luke to kill Vader? He tells him he has to "face" him, but Luke obviously thinks that means kill. He doesn't say, "I can't face my own father," or, "I can't defeat my own father." When Luke adds precision to Obi-Wan's vague "face," Obi-Wan doesn't correct him or give him other options. It's, "If you don't kill him, we're done." I acknowledged and explained this in my post. Obi-Wan is responding to the fact that Luke says (emphasis mine), "I can't kill my own father." So....what? If it was just some random dude, and nothing else about the situation had changed, Luke could kill him? No, Luke's reasoning doesn't make sense because it isn't based on a solid foundation. In the initial throne room scenes, the Emperor is able to take advantage of this fact by twisting Luke's love for his father into hate for his father--which is trivially easy for him to do, since love and hate are two sides of the same coin.He did the same thing with Anakin in the prequels: Anakin's greatest virtue was that he loved people too much, and that was also his greatest vice--and it ultimately led him down the road to hate. Palpatine's M.O. never changes. If your love for someone is conditional on them being your father or your mother (or your surrogate father or surrogate mother), then all that has to happen for you to lose compassion for them is for them to let you down. Luke is reaching the right conclusion, but through the wrong method. He's making decisions purely intuitively when he should be making decisions with a healthy balance of both intuition and rationality. That's the path to unconditional love, which is what defines a true Jedi. Emphasis mine: George Lucas posted:LUCAS: It will be about how young Anakin Skywalker became evil and then was redeemed by his son. But it's also about the transformation of how his son came to find the call and then ultimately realize what it was. Because Luke works intuitively through most of the original trilogy until he gets to the very end. And it's only in the last act--when he throws his sword down and says, "I'm not going to fight this"--that he makes a more conscious, rational decision. And he does it at the risk of his life because the Emperor is going to kill him. It's only that way that he is able to redeem his father. It's not as apparent in the earlier movies, but when you see the next trilogy, then you see the issue is, How do we get Darth Vader back? How do we get him back to that little boy that he was in the first movie, that good person who loved and was generous and kind? Who had a good heart. http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,23298-4,00.html Luke begins ROTJ working purely intuitively: "I can't kill my own father, because that's intuitively wrong", and ends ROTJ working more rationally: "I can't kill Vader, not just because he's my father, but because he's a human being just like I am, and all human beings are deserving of mercy." ROTJ is the synthesis of the message of ANH: "Your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them; let go your conscious self, and act on instinct; trust your feelings" and the seemingly contradictory message of ESB: "Ignore your instincts; use your head; don't go rushing into danger based on nothing but a feeling." Obi-Wan actually synthesizes these contradictions in a very Yoda-esque, Zen way during the conversation in question in ROTJ: Return of the Jedi posted:BEN Obi-Wan isn't contradicting his advice to Luke in ANH. He's augmenting it, and forcing Luke to think about things in a deeper, more complex way, in the manner of a Zen koan. And for whatever it's worth, the interpretation that Obi-Wan intended for Luke to do what he did all along has been supported by Lucas (emphasis mine): quote:"The part I am working on now is mostly about Darth Vader, who he is, where he came from, how he became Luke and Leia's father, what his relationship to Ben is. In Jedi, the film is really about the redemption of this fallen angel. Ben is the fitting good angel, and Vader is the bad angel who started off good. All these years Ben has been waiting for Luke to come of age so that he can become a Jedi and redeem his father. That's what Ben has been doing, but you don't know this in the first film." It's also supported by Dave Filoni, the guy who helmed TCW and had countless personal, in-depth conversations with Lucas regarding core aspects of the series: Dave Filoni posted:They never tell Luke to actively go out and save his father. In fact, they say he’s probably going to have to destroy his father. But it’s mainly because they can’t tell him that which he needs to understand — the true enlightenment of “I have to save my father.” They can’t just say it. That makes it easy. Faith isn’t about knowing.

Certain types of people don't like having a shallow justification for an opinion if other people have a deeper one. So therefore certain things must not deserve a deeper opinion, and if you do have that you're just a "tryhard".

Sweet god this is an 1:45 minutes long, and where I randomly jumped into it he was babbling about how the Republic and the Resistance are different things but that that's stupid, but I didn't stick around to find out if that was a mock of the critique or a critique itself because he jumped to some other pointless comment and again, living force, this video is almost the same amount of time to watch this as would be to watch the film.

They're cultural critiques, not movie reviews. Anyway I'm only like seven minutes in but it's pretty funny so far. That's their main purpose--if you're not laughing turn it off!

Cnut, I'm not sure I agree with all your conclusions (or Lucas's, for that matter) but I really appreciate you taking the time to dig up those quotes. It's really fascinating stuff, and I really enjoy reading through it.Jedi Knight Luigi posted:On a dead gay comedy forum though, where SMG trolls/talks about feudalism every 2 pages?

I always thought you'd go to poo poo like theforce.net if you wanted to talk about how many space miles to the gallon the Slave 1 took, or what the names of all of Princess Leia's pets were growing up. Dumb poo poo that is considered part of the universe because it showed up on a topps card or on the back of a cereal box. Also, if the prequels were what changed your mind about what you thought Star Wars was, and not the Holiday Special, the Droids cartoon, the Ewoks cartoons, or any of the other countlessly bad and incessant tie-ins that came before it, then maybe you should be a little less naive about the way you approach your fandom.
