I'm glad that the Prequel "it's bad" cycle is still in full effect. A: "It's bad because the mountains and lava are all just CGI." B: "It's actually a practical effect." C: "It's bad because it's badly composited." etc.

It doesn't matter whether the sand was practical or CGI. It looked like poo poo because it was poorly production designed and composited. The whole Tatooine section of A New Hope was basically art directed as "make the sand get everywhere". It would have been a lot more tense had the sand actually ever felt irritating or if there was anything on the planet other than course and rough sand.

I just want to meet the ad wizard who built a successful business on apparently packing and shipping lava to rando places around the galaxy.

George knew things would come full circle, like rhyming poetry: Mustafar is a Disney trademark, isn't it?

The way you know the Prequels weren't that good is the level of penetration they've had into the broader culture. Like, everyone knows what a Wookie or a Yoda is. What the gently caress is a Toydarian or Jem'Hadar Shapeshifer?

I dunno what the deal is with people and how much they hate the holiday special. I had a fun time watching it! Granted I was stoned as hell with a bunch of friends but that’s how you should watch Star Wars stuff anyway.

Prequel memes are making all of these things more memorable, though. Like, I think General Grievous is pretty recognizable from stuff like the “Hello There General Kenobi” meme. Seriously, do a GIS on that phrase. It’s crazy. I half wonder if Disney is pushing these memes to make the prequels have a kind of renaissance. But it’s more likely that kids who grew up with the prequels are just making memes from their childhood. Because yeah, the prequels are nostalgic now. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Feb 28, 2018 |

Disney made a point to provide a clean image of that shot from the film as a response/promotion of that meme.

Real talk, though, the original trilogy alien names being so well-known is incredible. Do they even say the word "Ework" in Return of the Jedi?

OR and this is where poo poo gets real cray because of when somebody first watches a Star War, they see Stormtroopers and Boba Fett and recognizes them as Clonetroopers and Jango Fetts. Also, "General Public" should have been a character in the EU.
