seriously tho i'm tired of blue vs red

like the first movie I understand, but Anakin's lightsaber doesn't really mean poo poo like it did in the first movie. If it's some relic or something, who cares, why repair it instead of crafting a new one?

What's wrong with you? You don't even have your beer goggles on!!
Somehow it seems to me that the sequel trilogy is trying to make things look as boring as possible. Everything has to look like in the OT but muddled and washed out. For example the bombers in TLJ - they resemble the B-Wings but are not as weird and interesting (though frankly i'm not sure if we saw the b-wing switching to attack position in ROTJ).

Kylo's lightsaber stands out and so does his mask but that's about it. The worst example might be Han Solo's freighter because we barely even see it.

Kylo's mask is an hilarious bit of bad design. It really doesn't seem that JJ intended it as "Vader but stupid" even after Rian tried to throw him a freebie. I can't even picture his lightsaber.

Kylo was high as gently caress on Deathsticks when he commissioned that helmet.

Presumably it's easier to repair a broken saber than building it from scratch, because most of the work is already done?

They probably had a mandate to ape the OT aesthetic as hard as they could while still changing just enough that they could sell new toys. I'm sure Disney's stance is "if the movies don't look like Star Wars, then what was the point of spending 4 billion dollars on the IP?"

Because it's a thing from the original trilogy, and is therefore special and important. Like Han's dice!

Disney either forgot that Anakin's saber is covered in the blood of space-children, or they're going to cut that part out of the prequel story when they reboot it.

Years ago there was a website called Internet Grudge Match or something similar. They would have fights between pop-culture characters (e.g. John McClane vs The Death Star) which would be decided on by fan vote and also have "humorous" entries from fans detailing how a chosen competitor would win the fight.

One time they had a Boba Fett vs Predator match and my first thought on seeing it was "...Who the gently caress is Boba Fett?", even though I had seen all three OT films many times. I then clicked on the link and seeing the picture and going "Oh, that guy! What a loser"

He easily won the fan vote because the internet makes you stupid, Predator would have kicked the poo poo out of him.

All the other cartoon to show movies were fine and typically better than the show seasons around the time the movies came out (ie. Simpsons); I don't see an issue with this.

The Bob's Burgers movie gave me an eerie sense that once superhero comics stop being the standard fodder for hollywood blockbusters the trend'll move to cartoons like Adventure Time or something

There will be a live-action Simpsons movie shortly before the collapse of civilization in 2045 or so.

I’ve got my Constable Zuvio action figure from the Force Friday event and I’m all set to see him and other exciting new characters in Disney/Lucasfilm's new Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens!

More on the apparent Luke/Leia post-RotJ flashback in TRoS:

https://makingstarwars.net/2019/05/rumor-did-billie-lourd-help-bring-back-princess-leia-in-star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker/

Wonder if Leia will have any lines. On a technical level, I'm really interested in how they might mine old lines from cut scenes or interviews to give Leia more dialogue. It's always been morbidly interesting to see how creative they can get to finish out performances. The pinnacle probably being the great work they did with Oliver Reed in Gladiator.

The one on the TLJ release? Yes, it's candid and informative. It doesn't really cover the post-release hubbub, due to when it was made and released, which would have been interesting to see covered too. Johnson explains his thought process around a lot of the decisions he made, whether they work for the viewer is another matter I guess.

I thought it was great because Mark Hamill. Also Rian Johnson comes across like a great guy who gave everything a lot of thought, no matter how you disagree with him. I really do think 8 will be seen as the best Episode from this trilogy years on down the line. It'll never be Empire, but anyone who expected that is out of their mind.
