Like there would be hushed whispers among the rebellion of a new Imperial super weapon that didn’t leave any survivors and left entire platoons ripped apart, like the urban legend exposition part of a slasher film. The ‘choke on your ambitions’ scene was a late add, the first time Vader shows up would be the lightsaber powering on in the dark hallway and you realize exactly what they’ve been whispering about all movie.

mind the walrus posted:Honestly the prequels should have gone: If you haven't read the Revenge of the Sith novelization, do it. Matthew Stover practically fixes the whole prequel trilogy retroactively and turns the movie into a more psychological, philosophical action thriller. He cuts out the worst stuff, fixes actors' reactions and lines to be less comical, and dedicates a lot of pages to expanding everyone's characterization and filling in plot holes so their decisions and motivations make sense. It comes out as the movie George Lucas had in his head but just couldn't figure out when he held sole creative control.

Omg yes, I would love an alien esqu slasher with this theme going. The twist ending is that one of the crew members is a fugitive Jedi in secret and Vader is killing the crew one by one to draw out the Jedi into proving he's a Jedi, or perhaps turn them to the dark side.

My favorite part in Rogue One was where Vader is slashing through the corridor then force lifts a dude slamming him into the ceiling, then on the fall from the ceiling Vader slashes his rear end in two like a serious “gently caress that guy in particular” move.

Stover missed the point of the movie and rewrote the Jedi to be cool and badass defenders of peace and justice, especially Obi Wan who becomes literally the Jedi ideal of a humble hero in perfect communion with The Force. This despite much of the plot being driven by the Jedi's arrogance and hubris and the stated fact that while sitting in their ivory tower protecting the interests of the government instead of the people they've lost touch with The Force and can't see any of the threats in their midst. And despite both actors playing Obi Wan as a showboating liar (from a certain point of view) in way over his head even after he's dead. It's less a "fix" and more "the story fans who didn't understand either trilogy wanted".

That’s the exact opposite of the plot though? He even has Yoda admit that they lost to the Sith because they had grown complacent and were unprepared for how the galaxy changed.

I love how many people confuse seeing intent with competent execution. The prequels aren't subtle about their goals-- "so this is how democracy dies..." but they suck on-toast. Yeah, yeah "but the 1977 Star Wars is so radical and betrays expectations it's true to the spirit" I bet loving all of you pissed and moaned about The Last Jedi for the exact same reasons. At this point Star Wars has become the default reference point for space opera, and while you can respect the prequels' intent it wasn't what anyone outside of George Lucas himself wanted to see.

Yeah, I have never listened to it but have heard of it. ”Zaireeka”. quote:The album consists of four Compact Discs designed so that when played simultaneously on four separate audio systems, they would produce a harmonic or juxtaposed sound; the discs could also be played in different combinations, omitting one, two or three discs. Each of its eight songs consists of four stereo tracks, one from each CD.

X-rays are not perfectly harmless at any dose whatsoever, and the risk of a single radiograph, though small, is not small enough to be negligible

I don't JoJo but are the Stands like, separate sentient creatures or are they like pets, or more like genies, or just aspects of the person who has them? Could work under any of those circumstances but some are gonna be less weird than others.

But don't do drugs and drive kids. Back in college I lived in a three bedroom house with two other guys, we each had stereos in our rooms plus there was one in the living room, so we got my roommate's girlfriend to man the living room stereo and all pressed play at once then converged in the middle of the house. It was a one time thing definitely but it was pretty cool.
