He lobbied to be in the suit in ROTS because it was that one quick scene. Seems way more likely he'd be Anakin in flashbacks but who knows. Seems weird to make him wear the suit for more than that - him being in Rogue One for example would be silly.George H.W. oval office posted:Imagine being part of the new trilogy and seeing Disney just memory hole the last 6+ years of your work. Just lol The star war now has a fixed endpoint (until it doesn't) and they've realized people just want to see people in vests and armor do adventures with the big war as the backdrop. And I guess fair enough

feedmyleg posted:The Mandalorian's mission so far seems to be as a rehabilitator and unifier. I'm willing to bet that Snoke or Clone Emperors or Exogol show up in it at some point to justify RoS's choices and even make a decent story out of it along the way. I mean that almost HAS to be the reason the Empire wants Baby Yoda, right? For force stem cells for Palpatine or something stupid. I'm curious how much new Star Wars stuff is gonna ignore sequel stuff and mildly rehab the prequels since the stink of the sequels are fresher. I guess force stem cells are just midichlorians whatever

I've seen Rogue One, but I could not tell you one single memorable thing about Cassian Andor beyond his name. And they're hanging a whole series off him? Also, didn't he die at the end? (Characters I remember from R1: Mads Mikkelson, his haughty daughter, Alan Tudyk robot, panicky radio guy, Saw Guevarra (?), Imperial rear end in a top hat in white, unnerving CGI Peter Cushing. And a blind monk or something?)

feedmyleg posted:I'm a firm believer that Hayden's bizarre acting choices/speech patterns in the films are due to him attempting to match the cadence of James Earl Jones to provide for a continuity of character (but failing to pull it off). Just imagine James Earl Jones' "I have you now!" or "You are part of the rebel alliance and a traitor!" in the voice of Hayden's Anakin. It's the same cadence and lilt. For me this has always been the disconnect between the Vader we know and the Anakin of the prequels, and it's more a fault of the way the character is written moreso then the acting. Vader has a rich, almost royal cadence. He enunciates each of his words carefully and with emphasis on the key words. I imagine this is James Earl Jones theatrical background coming through. It's what that Chad Vader guy could nail that every itger Vader impersonator in videogames and other media seemed to fail to do before hand, making it obviously not James Earl Jones. ROTSith makes the voice come across like something that comes about as a part of him being turned into a robot, just like how the emperor's creepy visage is because he scarred himself and not his 'true form' (which I much preferred the idea of).

This raises the question of what is meant by "true" form. Anakin being turned into a robot man is his form in truth in the same manner that the Republic becoming the Empire is the institution revealing it's true nature and Palpatine being transformed into a spidery mummy person is him showing his true colors as a politician. The progression of the prequels is that everything either chooses or is forced to drop their pretenses. Anakin's dropping his affected speech post-robot is part of that.

I still think that for Vader and the Republic, the true falls are the Tusken massacre and the approval of the clone army. ROTS is just about getting the facades in place - getting Vader into the suit and stripping the star destroyers of their republic/jedi muted red The voice thing I suppose you can chalk up to the scifi trope of universal translators or something. Even Lucas probably knew they couldn't have James Earl Jones play his one line in years weirdly

I've been reading DC and Marvel comics long enough that I feel that any character can be really interesting in the right hands. If the Disney+ series that is one of 30 accomplishes that remains to be seen.

The problem with using preestablished characters is that it very difficult to do to much new with them if you already know their end point, especially when their character growing moments were largely already done in a later film. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, Better Call Saul is the perfect example... But I'd rather see new things. Damnit Star Wars, didn't you learn your lesson about prequels?

There was something about the way Andor was described that made me think it would be a short miniseries rather than a longer thing like Mando (or Clone Wars / Rebels).

Doctor Spaceman posted:There was something about the way Andor was described that made me think it would be a short miniseries rather than a longer thing like Mando (or Clone Wars / Rebels). Yeah, a 12 episode season makes me think it'll be a miniseries in the same vein as like Band of Brothers. Kenobi was described as a "special event series" so I assume both will follow the same "one-off" miniseries format.

Of Andor runs too long he’ll age way past how he looked in R1. I don’t know how they manage that in Better Call Saul or other properties. It’s a weird conundrum.

romanowski posted:i would like to learn more about this IG-88A became the Death Star II's computer for a few minutes in an attempt to bring about a droid revolution - he's also the one responsible for the Death Star being able to hit anything as its targeting systems were terrible In the NuCanon, that plan was instead perpetrated by IG-88B, which is the unit we see in ESB and he's thwarted by an astromech The only mention of this is on a trading card quote:R2-Q5 is one of many droid attendants to Emperor Palpatine. While mainly used for astrogation and data storage, Q5 was single-handedly responsible for thwarting IG-88's software infiltration aboard Death Star II.

Who is asking for this poo poo Lightyear, at least, might find itself being good. The Toy Story short films are stronger than at least two of the movies, and the cartoon (which was also about the "real" Buzz Lightyear) was entertaining, although not really good enough to be watchable by adults, I think. weekly font posted:I mean that almost HAS to be the reason the Empire wants Baby Yoda, right?

They explicitly say that the "m-count" is involved in the Baby Yoda studies, so yes. This is a reasonable explanation for how vat grown Snokes got strong force connections, while also giving us an excuse to give Gideon force powers and have him fight Din, which I remain convinced is a thing that will happen.

I love how sad Watto is in AotC. Lucas could've had Anakin come back and hate him and murder him as part of his downfall, but instead he just made Watto into total loser who feels below Anakin's attention. It's a nice touch.
