FogHelmut posted:I just want a two hour movie of the Darth Vader scene in Rogue One. Just non stop intensity of a relentless Vader completely wrecking his way into a spaceship. Just give it the plot of The Raid: Redemption or whatever, who cares. Same Some people in a different thread recommended the Darth Vader comic series made by Marvel, I got a chance to read them last month and they own. Some of them take place before A New Hope, some after. There's plenty of stupid poo poo but the focus is on Darth Vader being an intense unrelenting murderer

They're going to tease the Emperor coming back, only to hint that he was too old to survive falling into the core of an exploding space station. Then the orchestral music picks up and he dodders up a hill to be reunited with the storm troopers.

skasion posted:this is bad faith argumentation basically. People got buttmad about Phantom Menace being not as good as their own idea of Star Wars and began to say things like “Lucas is an idiot/incompetent” and “Lucas’ movies were only good because of [other person conveniently not working on these movies]” and then started out looking at the other prequels in a way that would support these prejudices, instead of paying attention to what is shown on screen and trying to understand it. I haven't seen the movie in ages but, at the time, I thought it was implied that the Emperor killed her, and he was just blaming Vader to push him into the Dark Side even further QuarkJets posted:Same It's very good for like 5 issues, then it slowly decreases in quality until in like issue 18 you realize you're reading the bullshit adventures of Dr. Jafra and her 2 sarcastic murder robots who are mirror dark side copies of Threepio and R2, and they're trying to turn Darth Vader into an anti-hero and then it's time to put it down for good Comfy Fleece Sweater fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Apr 19, 2019 |

Vim Fuego posted:Ok, where does it say the emperor's name was Sheev? And, is it short for Sheeven? nope what happened was, George, Brian DePalma and Francis Ford Coppola were in an Italian restaurant in 1975 and they were talking about George’s idea for a space movie. Francis says “But who’s the main bad guy Georgie?” they all lapse into thought, while at the next table Marty Scorsese offers Steven Spielberg a meatball with the now legendary “Steve, polpetine?” mystery solved.

SciFiDownBeat posted:I don't think you understand. The logical inconsistencies that people on the internet cite as what's "wrong" with the prequels--they aren't what makes them bad. A child destroying a large space cruiser single-handed in TPM, the clones arriving 10 minutes after the jedi in AOTC, how Padme actually dies in ROTS, it doesn't matter. Even if you logic them out, it doesn't change the fact that, from a filmmaking perspective, the prequel trilogy as a whole is sloppily written, weakly shot, and relies on a glut of CGI that aged poorly. I think it is you who misunderstand. It is pointless to try to convince someone they should like a movie when they don't, but you can still point out when their criticisms are kind of weird (even if you don't particularly care for the movie).

Was he ever called Palpatine in the original movies? I liked the movies when I was a kid but wasn't crazy about them and I thought his name was just The Emperor. I also thought it was Obi One, Hand Solo and a light saver because I was like 4 when Jedi came out.

Nope, just The Emperor. Also Anakin was only named in Return of the Jedi in a single line between Luke and Vader. I thought it was Light Saver up until I played the Game Gear game and finally saw the word in writing.

Anakin is first named earlier in Return when Luke is giving Ghost Ben poo poo. He’s also named in the Emperor scene in Empire, but it’s one of the subtler special edition retcons — the og version just says “son of Skywalker” there. Of course the name predates the character by quite a bit, “Annikin” was the name of the more-or-less Luke character in the early drafts.

Why the gently caress is Rey standing in the middle of a huge barren plain while (presumably) Kylo hauls rear end at her in a TIE fighter other than "let's make her do a sweet backflip" God dammit I am tired of the Star Wars sucking so bad

Although it's not and it's just literally "Kylo Ren tries to run down Rey with his TIE Fighter in the middle of a salt plain" then lol.

skasion posted:So she can dramatically turn, and then dramatically turn the other way I think the running is what ruins it. If she just stayed still until the last second, then did like a crouch and swing to slice the whole spaceship in half in a single stroke, then launched straight into a lightsaber duel with Kylo as he leaps from the two dividing halves of the spaceship, I might be like "ok that was p. cool."

I hope the shot of the chunk of Death Star is a scene from Endor and that all the Ewoks died from a months-long rain of Death Star debris.

The Death Star ruins are just going to be a big old product placement thing for the new theme park. Rey and Co. are going to walk into it and find themselves in Orlando or California or wherever Disney is. Oooh what are these strange aliens?? They’re obese white Americans.

Torquemada posted:It’s a visual mess, she turns around like 4 times and pointlessly runs away. The "quick cuts" to try and show immediacy/action/suspense are getting out of hand. Watch any Chinese show/movie with a romantic scene in it where the two main love interests reconcile, run up to each other, and then embrace. I've counted up to 5 difference camera cuts in less than 2 seconds of initiating a hug. If your 2h+ movie has more than 4 instances of a shot lasting less than 2 seconds, then you're directing/editing wrong.
