errbuddy posted:Viewing order talk I think at this point the only thing that holds all 9 films together is that they make it so obvious the "Lucas had a plan" meme needs to die in a fire. Best orders to watch: 1 > 2 > 3 > done. Except the Harmy Despecialized Editions. People who whine that they were never that good are probably used to seeing the "special editions". In fact for serious film fans I'd say look for the grindhouse cut, where someone lowered the quality with scratches like a third-generation film print, which is closer to how you would have seen it if you'd been there at the time. Watching the movies in better quality than most people saw them in theaters feels weird to me. Release order, except have the Plinkett reviews handy to wash your brain out after the pre and post quels. ...and those are the only acceptable orders. Kaincypher posted:the vast majority of known world do indeed, have a singe biome (although since none of the known ones have lifeforms, I suppose that's a fair argument). False. Just to take our neighbor since that's an area we may colonize first. Luna is tidally locked with Earth so your view is non-trivially different depending on where your dome is. The lack of serious atmosphere means there's not much weather to remark on, which makes people think about a lack of biomes. But there are zones in the semi-permanent shadows of craters where water is more likely to be found, so it's possible that some colonies will live in semi-permanent shadow farming water while their neighbors spend a lot more of their life braving the solar radiation to get energy. People who live on the far side may live their whole lives without ever seeing Earth except on TV, and the surface is notably different since the far side is basically our asteroid shield and it shows. And that's just talking about the moon, which is like the least interesting possible world in terms of biomes short of coring out an asteroid a la The Expanse.

Laterite posted:So new Star Wars is out in a month, but there doesn't seem to any anticipation or major media push. No advance leaks, releases, or reviews so far. Will it flop? Does anyone care?I Pretty sure Disney is just pushing it out as quickly as possible because fan engagement with the sequel trilogy is near zero. They're hedging their bets of the future of Star Wars with TV series like The Mandalorian, the Cassian Andor Rogue One prequel series, the Obi-Wan show, and whatever else they're working on, which is a much better idea because The Rise of Skywalker is loving dead-on-arrival.

It really is telling that pretty much all material (that anyone cares about) outside the sequel trilogy itself is set in the OT or prequels. Nobody gives a gently caress about the sequel era. The Battlefront series only included as part of collection of all eras, and never expanded the small amount of release content for it, despite significant expansions of OT and clone wars content (especially clone wars). The new Jedi game by Respawn is in the OT era. Even tabletop games have focused on OT or clone content. The sequel era is a non-starter for any supplementary products. Those movies can't move any other product despite people still gobbling up OT and prequel era stuff. The Mandalorian is OT. The Cassian Andor thing will obviously be OT. The Obi-Wan show could be prequel or OT or both, but it won't be sequel. lol even Disney knows the sequel trilogy is a dead IP if they're making three television shows and none of them will involve the sequel era at all. And meanwhile video games avoid it like the plague. It is a monumental failure for the brand.

Like there's definitely a story to tell, a compelling and relevant one, about a nihilistic fascist movement cargo-culting one that was defeated a generation ago and creeping in around the fringes of a vulnerable democracy to destroy it. There's a fine line between sketching in very light worldbuilding and focusing mostly on theme and characters, and completely failing to do any world-building, and I think this is where the sequel trilogy belly-flops. It really needs something like the Death Star briefing room scene or the Vader-Bast walk-and-talk to fill in the margins just the tiniest bit for the world these characters live in (without going full on Galactic C-Span like the prequels). There's some geniunely good stuff in the sequels, actors doing their best and delivering great performances to make us care about the characters, some plot beats and setpieces that really sing like Luke's astral projection showdown. But yeah I think it was mostly a misfire. Is the "Resistance" cartoon still getting new seasons?

I'm tentatively hoping Kenobi is good, McGregor was one of the highlights of the prequels even when he was navigating clumsy as hell dialogue. The Mandalorian apparently being good raises my hopes that they can at least get the TV shows right.

The Obi-Wan series is being directed solely by Deborah Chow, who has a fairly solid resume and directed 2 episodes of The Mandalorian too, so I'd say it has a decent chance of being a good time considering they got Ewan McGregor back and seem to understand what people actually want to see from an Obi-Wan prequel series. I had very low expectations from the previously killed movie, but a TV series that lets McGregor and the material breathe seems cool.

John Wick of Dogs posted:What DO people want to see from an Obi Wan series? I have no idea what they'd do but my ideal would be like "Highway to Heaven" in space One part character study of Obi-Wan ruminating over the failures of the Jedi in general and his failure of Anakin in particular, and one part Kung Fu/Highway to Heaven where Obi-Wan wanders Tatooine helping the locals against a slowly escalating Imperial occupation. A nice mix of Obi-Wan doing cool poo poo while also getting to watch him work through what is certainly the darkest chapter of his life, and see his transition from cocksure warrior in the Prequel-centric content to wisened mentor in the OT. What I don't want: Darth Maul (this is already hosed based on the trailer so hopefully he at least gets minimal focus) or Obi-Wan swinging his laser dick all over the place every episode. IMO the less we see of lightsabers the better, because it'll force the writers to be creative about how Obi-Wan helps to resist the Empire while also not compromising his Jedi status and putting himself and Luke in danger.

they should probably just make content where the jedi aren't prats, instead of devoting time to ruminating on what prats the prequels turned them into.

I mean yeah, I'd like them to try making 100% original content too. But that's never going to happen, so I'd at least like it if their endless rehashing was a bit more interesting.

He's out there fighting the Empire, then it's back to the cave for more full penetration. Empire, full penetration, empire, full penetration. And then this goes on for roughly 90 minutes or so until the movie just sort of ends.
