loquacius posted:Grint too. That motherfucker is a Ron if I've ever seen one quote:When Alfonso Cuarón signed on to direct “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” he had an unusual assignment for his young stars. The director charged each one with writing an essay on their character: Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger.

skooma512 posted:No, the same emperor, again with no explanation. Luke, and it'll always be OT people because nobody else in the whole galaxy does anything, will enter the chamber and be confronted by another set of the Tampon Guard and find Palpatine is once again alive and building death stars. There's always Skywalker, there's always Palpatine, there's always a lighthouse. Constants and variables IIRC the beginning of Rise of Skywalker shows Palpatine literally growing clones of himself in jars. I don't think it comes up again after that opening scene. Farm Frenzy posted:its always 'they owe so much to rowling how dare he!!' as if he wasn't cast when he was 9 It's quite the reversal of fortune that the kids cast for the Harry Potter series all(?) turned out to be totally normal and well-adjusted adults, while the creator of the work went absolutely crazy as it became more popular. Feels like that usually happens the other way around.

indigi posted:lightsabers are one of the coolest things about Star Wars and there should be more of them without worrying about Jedi/Sith nonsense. the one animated short about the person hunting saber users was awesome, sword fights are cool, laser swords are cool, the force adds a whole other dimension to fight choreography, get some good combat actors and just go to town If you haven't you should watch the crummy Italian Star Wars knockoffs of the late 70s/early 80s like Star Crash and The Humanoid, lightsabers and kit bashed ships and lovely composites and uh David Hasselfhoff in glam makeup.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:Owns, also the art direction in the first two was never matched by the rest of the series I vaguely recall Alan Rickman desperately wanting to exit the series after the first few movies because the latter ones turned to crap, and only reluctantly getting talked into it by having his role in the ending spoiled for him by Rowling. Or something like that, I think.

maybe netflixs stock wouldn't be tanking if they were capable of doing something other than garbage assed stand-up comedy specials (Jim Gaffigan RELOADED: Hot Pockets Edition) and shows with laughably bad writing and cgi

Honestly the whole cast throughout the series was pretty stacked, better than an eight-film YA book adaptation deserved.

Nix Panicus posted:In fiction theres all kinds of dumb reasons why only force people use lightsabers, like talking to the rocks inside them or some stupid poo poo. The only one that ever made sense to me was that you needed magic space powers to not fumble the massless, inertia-less sword that effortlessly cleaves flesh and accidently cut your own head off. I could see having a pocket saber that only comes out two or three inches though, that would be cool. Han literally used the lightsaber to cut open the animal corpse just fine, the whole 'literally only Jedi can use lightsabers' thing was always stupid and not canon More that a lightsaber is just a big glowing 'shoot me!' stick unless you literally have the superhuman reflexes and precognition to deflect the blaster shots.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I already included the original emperor with no explanation. That said, perhaps the twist could be that the new evil emperor is also Palpatine. Actually, that does make a lot of sense as commentary on US politics if it's literally the same guy being lauded as a responsible and sensible elder statesmen and also an abhorrent madman - by the same people. A small-time director named George Lucas already had the idea of putting a Palpatine on both sides of the conflict. He made a whole trilogy out of it
