You see, he has to send in proof of purchase for all of the armour pieces he's already bought, plus three accessories from the list (in his case, Whistling Birds Wrist Launcher Action Pack(TM,) Big Game Hunter Trophy Medallion(TM) and Rising Phoenix Jet Pack(TM, not compatible with cape or serape,) and a cheque or money order for $9.95 for shipping and handling, with his parent or guardian's permission, and eight to twelve weeks later, he'll get his Jet Pack Missile Spring-Loaded Blast Pack(TM) in the mail! Very exciting.

It's great we get to see another side of Sand People, a tribe of aliens that are just trying to survive in a pretty harsh planet. Everyone else treated them like a dangerous threat. I can definitely imagine that Anakins massacre became part of some oral tradition for generations on, some mysterious wizard showed up and killed a whole tribe of them. Another thing to note is their characteristic donkey braying speech pattern is obviously them just yelling to get the gently caress out because many of them were pretty chill to Din. Maybe the sign language is reserved for neutral/friendly communication. And it's a great contrast to when we saw Din dealing with the Jawas in season one; back then it was Din being a hothead and busting out the flamethrower while Kuiil is trying to get him to calm the gently caress down. Here it is Din using the flamethrower to get the Sheriff to calm the gently caress down under a comparable level of "why should I make nice with these assholes?"

TK-42-1 posted:The sound direction in it was one of the best things in star wars. too bad it was wrapped in layer after layer of turd Agreed on the sound. I remember that one mine that nuked the asteroid from the first time I saw it and that was cool. Rewatched all three prequels not long ago and, as much as Attack of the Clones mostly bored me the Slave I chase and the first Clone Trooper Battle was cool. Even the Jedi Saber Battle was cool until Yoda started doing flips. The Annakin finding his mom and then killing the Sand People was decently done and would have been fine in another movie. Still think the movie was poorly done and uneven but it did contain some decent moments and the sound on all three movies was always decent. Hell the Phantom Menace was forgettable to kid me except that Darth Maul three way dance and Sebulba. Once that music hits I was sold. Was the only thing I could remember about the first movie aside from the pod race. Vinylshadow posted:And the winner for best ferrari of the year goes to... Sebulba was robbed.

Maverick Jedi master who is clearly super talented and in touch with the force that tells the council to gently caress off and that's the reason why they're not on the council is a cool concept. But Qui-Gon somehow ended up just being so booooring.

My own personal Star Wars canon is that the stereotypical Tusken URRRRRRRRR! UR UR URRR! Is actually just them yelling gently caress YOU! and the double hand staff pump over the head is TSL for "cram it mother fucker" which makes the victory scene over the dragon so much funnier on re-watch

I really loved the Phantom Menace as child but a couple years ago someone pointed out to me "If Qui-Gon had just maybe, you know, not left Anakin's mom enslaved on a desert planet to an evil pitlord..." and now I just watch a super-cut of the Darth Maul scenes whenever I get nostalgic for it. Qui-Gon and Obi wan could have whisked her away to Coruscant or, literally, anywhere in the galaxy... but they just left her on a hot rock to die even though it was completely within their power to do so. I can't tell if it's intentionally harsh or if George Lucas literally just doesn't think of Anakin's mom as a character until 9 hours later when he discards and fridges her...

gently caress yeah it’s intentional. The unwitting cruelty shown to Anakin by the Jedi is the root of the trilogy. Anakin got unethically adopted away from his home, figured he was getting a father figure to replace his mom, then his father figure immediately died and got replaced with a bossy, immature big brother. No wonder he got hosed up. It wasn’t completely in Qui-gon’s power to do better at the time. Qui-gon couldn’t have just whisked Shmi away since she’s got a bomb in her. They would have needed to buy her freedom which they couldn’t do on account of being broke. Remember he already had to cheat to get to keep Anakin. Maybe he did intend to go back and save Shmi at some point but just died first...but I doubt it, he seems pretty committed to the whole Jedi life of no attachment even if he has unusual religious opinions. And the Jedi as a whole don’t think it is worthwhile to go to the trouble of freeing slaves.

It goes to one of the scenes I wish hadn't been cut from Last Jedi. The "enemy islanders raid the settlement" lesson Luke tries to teach Rey in that scene is a great example of what is needed versus what the Jedi actually do. He tells Rey that a Jedi wouldn't act to stop a raid because it would cause problems down the line, and when she runs off to help anyways (it being a party and not a real danger) he actually approves of her choice because doing nothing helps nobody. When you have the power to act, you should. Worrying about what happens later should not mean ignoring what is happening now. The Jedi were too busy helping a political exile appeal to the government to help stop the injustice sitting at the table serving them dinner with explosive tracking implants keeping them imprisoned.

Vinylshadow posted:SHMI : All slaves have transmitters placed inside their bodies somewhere. "Huh. Neat. If only there were some wandering wizards who could simply close their eyes and wave their hands and figure that sort of thing out. Or, failing that, if only we were travelling with queen who, once she gets her throne back, could buy every slave around here out of petty cash. Oh well, heigh ho. Say, pass the blue milk? In any event, back to the part where we're somehow contrived to let your son perform in an action-packed death race." Yeah, the movies tried to show the Jedi as out-of-touch lotus eaters who were dangerously divorced from reality, but they just came off as assholes. All it would have taken was a few expository scenes between Qui-Gonn and Obi-Wan. QG "Padawan, the Jedi are dangerously detached. Of course, we should never act from emotions, especially anger, fear, hatred, or sadness. But we do have emotions, and they can be an important way to guide our actions. OW: What do you mean, master? QG: What should we do about Shmi? OW: I wish we could help her, master, but we can't save everybody. QG: And how do you feel about that? OW: Sad. Guilty. QG: You're right that we can't save everybody, padawan, but we can certainly try. And if feeling sad about the plight of a person standing right in front of you doesn't compel you to act, what will? If the Jedi aren't going to try to save people, why do The Jedi even exist? OW: But Master Yoda says we can't interfere with people's choices and destinies. QG: Do you believe Shmi chose to be a slave, padawan? Or that it is her fate, preordained and unchangable? OW ....no, master, but.... QG: Padawan, once the Jedi were peacekeepers and mediators, living, breathing examples for sentients across the galaxy. Now? Now we spend so much time meditating and walling ourselves away that most think we're only legends and rumors. What does Master Yoda say about the only acceptable use of the Force? OW: Master Yoda says that the Force is only for knowledge and defence, never attack. QG: And what knowledge are we gaining locked away in our temples? What are we defending? OW: I don't know, master. QG: Nor should you, Padawan. But think about it. Meditate about it. Decide for yourself what a Jedi should be. Don't listen blindly to the council.

FWIW in one of the canon Padme novels set after TPM, she dispatched her people to do exactly that. Shmi was mysteriously gone by the time they made it back. With both her and Watto (for some reason) nowhere to be found. Perhaps Watto went on a binge after Cliegg bought her freedom.
