The point of the movie isn’t “Lifting rocks isn’t cool” it’s “Lifting rocks is hella cool, Luke’s just too old and jaded to see it”. Was she lifting rocks, or was she pushing down the whole planet?

It's it known how much time elapsed between Han's rescue from the barge and Endor? Luke had time to visit Dagobah, I suppose he could have hung with Yoda for a bit, did learning of the second Death Star or the dead bothans necessary happen right after he got back?

Something im curious about is if the show will talk more about Mandalore the planet. Since the Covert are more fundamentalist Mandos and Keldabe still technically exists in Disney Canon, maybe they operated out of Keldabe instead of Sundari when the Empire cracked down on the planet.

I think it was on the scale of a few days. If you count the cut scenes, I'm reasonably sure that they mention going to Sullust in the sandstorm scene. That'd be pretty close to the battle.

I just love how I don't remember those even if I was a semi-avid fan of the prequels back in the day. I'm probably not gonna forget them now, because in my mind they are the good doggos that were happy to see Din and that was so cute

skasion posted:In old canon, Weequay usually went by “Weequay” to outsiders because they didn’t have names among themselves owing to the fact that they don’t really talk and do most of their communication by pheromones. Oh interesting. My knowledge of Weequay is quite limited to "the guy who got eaten by the sarlacc with Boba Fett" and Hondo, so that actually helps it to make sense.

I think you forgot how many eye-poppingly bad lines he has in the Geonosis ring dogfight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ME5jhsgmB4 It's like he was taught to act wrong on purpose, as a joke. The number of times can probably be counted on one hand that a single actor ruined a scene so effectively when on camera.

They got better performances out of him for Clone Wars, which I think is mostly just Dave Filoni being a better writer than George Lucas was.

Literally every actor who turned in a weird or wooden performance in the Prequels under Lucas has given some pretty banger performances elsewhere under other/better directors.

If you want evidence of what a poo poo director Lucas is, compare Liam Neeson's performance in the Phantom Menace, to his first performance as a leading man in Darkman, where the Director, Sam Raimi, is also directing his first big studio production. I'm not calling Darkman an example of cinema mastery, but it's better than what was created 9 years later.

Liam Neeson is good in Star Wars. I never thought that was an unpopular opinion before. Isn't he one of the things basically everyone likes about the prequels?

I like the peace orb in episode 1. People are like "Wtf there is just this glowing orb for no reason this movie just makes poo poo up as it goes along" But listen to me, I don't need a loving expanded universe novelization to tell you that's The Peace Orb. Glowing orbs loving rule. Tusken Raiders know it. Gungans know it. Jawa know it. Get with the program.

Literally every actor who turned in a weird or wooden performance in the Prequels under Lucas has given some pretty banger performances elsewhere under other/better directors. Yeah, Lucas is pretty much only good for big ideas, I think one thing that's very much a point in his favour though is he does budge when he gets pushback, that's why the original trilogy turned out so well. Filoni always comes across very well in terms of connecting the dots of what Lucas would do, but actually doing it decently. His reading of the Duel of the Fates ascribes much more meaning to it than I think there honestly is in the film itself, but he executes on all that and then some in a much more understated final showdown between Maul and Obi-Wan in Rebels. That's very much how Mandalorian feels too. cargohills posted:Liam Neeson is good in Star Wars. I never thought that was an unpopular opinion before. Isn't he one of the things basically everyone likes about the prequels? Neeson's performance was pretty decent, but the script definitely didn't help him, and it was very phoned in outside of line delivery. He's not very celebrated because he's stuck in the Jar Jar and midichlorians movie.

Neeson is fine, but Qui-Gon is a super boring character. He's supposed to be this rebellious grey Jedi that doesn't get on with the council, but that never particularly comes across in his dialogue. The only reason he's fondly remember is down to Neeson's innate charisma.

I think how well an actor fares in a George Lucas movie is directly proportional to how much they're willing to make the character their own and take initiative. Harrison Ford basically created Han Solo, and, from what I've seen, was kind of backseat directing scenes with Hamil and Fisher. McGregor and McDiarmid are so beloved because they 100% realized what kind of movies they were in and went full-on ham and cheese with everything.

Necrothatcher posted:Neeson is fine, but Qui-Gon is a super boring character. He's supposed to be this rebellious grey Jedi that doesn't get on with the council, but that never particularly comes across in his dialogue. Eh? Sure it does. Virtually the first scene of the movie has Qui-gon telling Obi-wan that he should spend less time listening to Yoda’s mystic visionary stuff and more time focusing on what’s going on. There’s a couple of occasions on which Obi-wan is being snotty and doctrinaire and Qui-gon tries to broaden his mind a bit. There’s a prickly scene between the two of them before Anakin’s test where Obi-wan reproves him for not being a team player and alludes, in usual Star Wars fashion, to past events that we haven’t seen to back up his argument. Qui-gon responds by pretty much telling him he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Of course what Obi-wan is saying is true, the council won’t let him train Anakin, and when this happens he stops just short of telling them to sit and spin. Literally his dying words are him making Obi-wan promise to ignore what the council explicitly told them. The idea of Qui-gon the maverick can be taken too far. He’s a dissenter, not a revolutionary. But he does dissent. He’s just low-key about it and not an aggressive jerk.

cargohills posted:He actually just straightforwardly describes what happens in the movie. What happens in the movie is a cool fight. Filoni describes an emotional core that should exist in a movie that utterly fails at establishing it, one that should represent the emotional core of the whole prequel trilogy and is only even slightly approached by that one really good poster for the movie. I'm sure it's what Lucas had intended, but that's exactly my point, he's awful at execution, just concept.
