Grouchio posted:So folks how disappointing was Rogue One? Because I've been avoiding this reboot like the plague. It was "garbage." DO NOT SEE if you don't want your childhood raped. They will do better with Rogue One Part 2: Rogue Harder. This one was just an origin story to set up the characters.

I thought the scene where Darth Vader was crying while the Emperor called him mean names was totally ridiculous, and gently caress Gareth Edwards for leaving it in the final cut.

I actually really like Darth Vader's death scene. His cry of "NOOOOOOOOO" when his tie bomber crashed was a nice throwback to the Emperors death in 1983's Return of the Jedi.

Jewmanji posted:How was the set design in TFA so boring? By far my favorite technical aspect of I-VI are the vivid and distinctly realized set pieces. I guess without McQuarrie or Lucas they're a bit lost. A lot has been made in this thread about how unimaginative the ship designs were (which is true), but the blandness of the sets really stands out as the most underwhelming technical aspect. Every aspect of Takodana was just awful. Neo Rasa posted:So I don't really mind the ships and bases being bland on the inside because hey they look like Star Wars, but the exteriors kind of let me down.

I guess we won't know how Rebel's ends but it'd be sweet seeing one of the crew in the background - even Chopper.

With Thrawn being such a major presence in Rebels, I can't help but think its inevitable that we're going to see him as the villain in an actual Star Wars film at some point in the next 5-10 years. What a world we live in.

They can easily make Lars Mikkelsen blue and give him red contact lenses and there you go, live action thrawn. Mikkelsen brothers taking over star waes.

Mads would have been absolutely perfect for it though, which is why I hate that they wasted him on this bland Rogue One role. gently caress it, just let him play multiple characters, nobody will recognize him with some blue facepaint and a few facial prosthetics.

Phi230 posted:But uh Human Supremacy doesnt really make sense in star wars. Someone helo me understand it. How many humans were with the separatists in the prequels? I'm pretty sure Dooku was the only one. Both the Supreme Chancellors in the PT are human---the most powerful alien is basically in charge of starting Senate sessions and being the Chancellor's assistant. Who are the "bad guys" in the galaxy---you know, the factions who don't play well with others and destabilize the ascendant order? Isn't it basically the Nemoidians and Hutts? What's the only explicitly human world we see? Naboo, where a rival alien civilization literally lives under the ground (implicitly because they were driven there, hence why Boss Nass doesn't want to help no stinkin Naboos). At the end of the movie when the two victorious peoples are celebrating together, Amidala hands Boss Nass what looks like a big glowing energy orb. WTH was that and could it have something to do with the royal palace in Theed literally sitting on a giant underground power plant? Anakin is the first-ever human able to pod race and the reigning champion, Sebulba, has it in particularly hard for him--why? How come the guy selling drugs in Coruscant is an alien? Why are so many of the aliens coded on real world minorities? The Republic was always speciest.. They were just more subtle about it in the old days.

For rogue one: spoiler stuff has anyone talked about the bacta tank containing darth vader in this thread yet? Somebody noticed this image: You can see a prop doll of a white dude with no arms and off to the side you can see the concept art. From this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2N0Mn4i4Dw

BigglesSWE posted:Maybe he did. Who are we to judge? I can only imagine that its tough for an actor like Mads to turn down any of these big blockbuster roles, considering he's one of the few Danish actors to even make it out of their local film industry. He's probably only been making real money(as in millions) for a few years, its not like his career exactly exploded after Casino Royale.

I was really surprised over the lack of Mads on the big screen after 2006. At least he got Hannibal, that laster for a while.

They could foster a mystique about the time between movies. Just like they did for the time preceding episode 4. It was cool regardless of how you felt about the reveals in the prequels.

Not super inspiring words from Gareth Edwards re: the diversity in Rogue One: http://www.vulture.com/2016/12/gareth-edwards-on-rogue-one-diversity-reshoots.htmlquote:John Knoll, who wrote the original treatment, has two daughters and he wanted to have a hero they could look up to. I feel like one of the most successful heroines in science-fiction cinema is Sigourney Weaver in Aliens — I love her, and as a guy, no part of my brain thinks of her gender. She's just Ripley, that character. We tried to write Jyn as neither male nor female, as just a person. Obviously, she's female, but even with the clothing, my goal with the costume department was to design clothes that I would wear as a guy on Halloween. She wouldn't look feminine, and she wouldn't look masculine — she'd be neutral. Jyn is a person who just happens to be a girl. The extent to which this guy doesn't get what diversity means isn't super surprising, but the degree to which he fundamentally misunderstands how central a role gender and sexuality play in the Aliens franchise is more or less inexcusable for a professional filmmaker known for working in the genre. This is the gender equivalent of "I'm not racist, I don't see color! I'm colorblind!"
