Luke choked out a couple of Jabba's guards

I thought this was absolutely brilliant- Luke was learning parts of the Light and Dark sides because insert Zen koan. Dude was dressing in black and everything. Then of course I learned that the entire EU was completely against this because cartoonish bullcrap where if you ever do anything bad ever then you're a Space Dictator forever. Not as cool.


THE BAR posted:

Vader choked people with the Force, because he was an instrument of terror. The Emperor could cast spells of lightning, because he was an evil wizard.

Kylo can freeze blaster bolts, because he's.. a procrastinator? A man wary of letting go? Is it simply the new trick all the cool kids learn at Badawan Academy?

The original scenes mostly happened in context. Some douche was all "Jedi aren't even real" and Vader goes "you feel a little tickle in your throat there buddy?", it plays on stage material like people getting poisoned at a banquet. The Emperor was no seriously a space wizard. The weak one of course is Vader stopping lasers with his hands, you can just hear the conversation the script writers had. Well why doesn't Han just shoot him. Um. Vader grabs the bolt out of the air. Problem solved. If Stormtroopers weren't made out of tissue paper it wouldn't be so bad, but we know the Imperials can't make armor. If you're going to do that scene, then at the end of it Vader needs to open his fist and let the bullets fall on the table. I guess you can't do that with blasters.

Kylo can stop a blaster bolt because here on page five we need a cool visual effect, like a force power that's never been seen before. Ask the art department if they've got anything for us.

Otherwise why for instance didn't the script have him slap the bolt out of the air? It's a callback so that's a bonus. Poe is still frozen from fear when it happens, so it does the exact same job in the script. It establishes another link to Vader too. Oh hey I know- it's the only shot Finn fires, he gets so scared seeing Poe on his knees that he accidentally pulls the trigger only to have Kylo slap the blaster bolt away. Now that's script writing!

Anakin's Magical Aptitude stat is higher than Yoda's, but since he's only lvl 1 his base damage is so low that it doesn't matter. Because he has the Chosen One background his Dexterity and Perception modifiers should kick in during mid-to-late-game but only if his mentor has a high Intelligence and levels with him instead of grinding for levels.

i hate myself for thinking about this or talking about star wars on the internet but a choke would not be a "special move" for people who can move objects with the force. lightning is the only special power imo. *kills self*

Maybe one of the things that makes the first Star Wars movies better than all the other Star Wars stuff is they didn't treat the force like a set of superpowers you unlock as you gain levels

If Disney had half a brain or if they ran out of ideas they could just reboot the prequels out of existence. We've had 3 Spider-man reboots in 15 years, so why not?

What kills me is the prequels really made a genuine attempt at distancing themselves from the OT and tell their own stories. I'm almost tempted to check them out again because they aren't rehashed OT crap. The ships, planets, landscapes and environments are so lovingly crafted and gorgeous and distinct, yet for some reason the stories and characters were hot garbage. I rewatched the ending of Attack of the Clones the other day because it came up on my youtube feed and holy crap. Padme, loving SMILE, it's your WEDDING. Jesus Christ. Then there's the cartoon clone troopers and politicians standing around.

Me personally, I loved the prequels. Beautiful vistas, marvelous landscapes, and the action, lots of sweet action. Trade talks!!! Who doesnt love lots of sweet trade talks. The political discussions were the best. Thats what Star Wars is really about, politics. Its a kids movie afterall.
