Dapper_Swindler posted:what was the one where luke went of with the crazy force lady to try to find his mom and then got some bullshit inconclusive answer. that was retconed by the prequels I think the best stuff in the anthology is the stuff from the trench run and yavin 4 towards the end. I appreciate the attempt at doing them roughly chronologically but for me the Tatooine stuff dragged enormously.

It's a shame because the Tatooine stories start pretty strong but 14 in a row is unbearable.

Have we ever had a featureless desert in Star Wars? Tattooine has krayt dragon skeletons, rocky canyons, moisture vaporators, etc. Jakku has giant wrecks of massive starships and those cool glowy eye worms.

Tatooine isn't that featureless, I remember chilling in it a lot in SWG. The Dune Sea is perhaps the only bit that is quite bland to look at.

The wildly-varying characterizations of Greedo in those stories made it all worthwhile, though. Also that crazy stormtrooper dewback fetishist Also rent-hound Bea Arthur Paragon8 posted:I think the best stuff in the anthology is the stuff from the trench run and yavin 4 towards the end. But I actually do kind of agree with this; Mon Mothma running through worst-case scenarios while escaping from Yavin was entirely my poo poo.

The Crystal Star makes perfect sense if you pretend it's a 1980s Star Trek TOS Pocket Book that sat on the shelf for a decade and then got rewritten to be about Star Wars characters, instead.

i really loved the short of the Rebel's head mechanic going through all the recent losses. Did a great job bridging Scarif and Yavin 4.

Paragon8 posted:I think the best stuff in the anthology is the stuff from the trench run and yavin 4 towards the end. yeah it did. some of the stuff worked but the mufftack and kabe story DRAGGED espcialy since they were trying to add new twists on the spice dumping. greedo is interesting(him being a weird MRA nice guy dickhead) and han shooting first. the sand trooper story sucked rear end. i also hated the portrayal of fett. while its different and kind interesting, i dont like fett as portrayed some PMC space blackwater smart rear end dickhead, it kinda works but it makes him even less interesting. i prefer the cold ruthless professional fett.

I really quite enjoyed the one about the supervisor on the Death Star. In general, the Imperial focused ones were pretty good. Especially weird dewback obsessed Stormtrooper. But yeah, everything on Yavin and to do with the Death Star attack was good. Though I thought the one about the Whills was intensely stupid.

Maybe it's Princess Bride era Robin Wright? (I suggest this because it was the 30th anniversary for that movie a few weeks ago and there's been a lot of retrospective reviews of it out.) (Also because I'm bad at recognising people.)

Recently I heard that as much as 80% of the Han Solo might have been re-shot* with a big increase in its budget. I imagine this will at least be an interesting behind-the-scenes story when all is said and done. * No word on who re-shot first.

Yeah, this should hopefully avoid any issues with odd tone changes. They'll be sticking to Kasdan's script the whole way through now.

The best writer for a Han Solo spin-off movie would be Shane Black. I think a Han Solo movie along the lines of Lethal Weapon or The Last Boy Scout would be great; I don't feel like that's the tone Kasdan would go for.

So would anyone here happen to know where I can find this one interview with George Lucas from back in the early '80s, where he clearly explained his then-current conception of how the Force worked? Specifically, it was something to the effect of (1) the Force is generated by and connected to all life in the galaxy (i.e. no mention of space germs) and (2) anyone can learn to use the Force with enough time, patience, and the right training. While I remember finding that interview via some nerd news site in the lead-up to the release of The Force Awakens (it was probably one of the same sites that posted a summary of the leaked script for TFA), I didn't think to bookmark it at the time, and I haven't since been able to refind it for anything.
