Snowglobe of Doom posted:There should be a questionaire that people have to fill in before being allowed to watch the new film with questions like "Which is the better song: Lapti Nek or Jedi Rocks?" If they pick either one they're escorted from the building, if they have no idea what those two things are they're waved on into the theatre. The headline is rather misleading; they're only banning face masks and weapons props.

I'd love to wrap up some loose threads there. But they all, without fail, devolve into "hate on the new stuff" and have nothing to do with their professed original mission.

Yeah; I cannot hate the podrace because it's just too drat cool. It doesn't really serve the plot, it honestly probably goes on a little too long, and ultimately doesn't accomplish a whole lot...but it's just so finely crafted.

Speaking of Star Wars on the big screen, I'm not sure I've told this tale on SA before or not...but the marathon on Thursday will be my first time seeing Attack of the Clones in theaters. My mom passed away a few days before its original theatrical run and, for obvious reason, dad and I never got around to going to that one.

Also show up to the marathon late. Attack of the Clones is not worth watching. You haven't missed anything.

Sense and Motion posted:Attack of the Clones is the second best Star Wars movie, why would anyone miss it? Also, jivjov, why do you like going to marathons so much? Do exhaustion and sensory overload heighten the experience for you? I like the cultural experience of seeing a bunch of movies surrounded by other fans, plus the "catching up" before the 7th movie has some appeal. And then there's something magic about seeing childhood favorites back in theaters again. Yeah I can pop in the Blu Ray whenever I want...but it's not the same.

If I read that poo poo now I'm sure I'd burn it before I got two chapters in. Counterpoint; I started reading EU stuff when I was like 8 or 9. I revisit it frequently and still love it.

Corran Horn, Thrawn, Mara Jade, the Solo twins, and probably some others I'm forgetting. Not many people even remember what happened in the Zahn trilogy but they still love Thrawn for some reason. That's a...broad claim.

We arrived at the theater about half an hour ago, it's already about half full and it turns out the marathon is a completely sold out house. 500 people are coming to this theater to watch all of the Star Wars. This is gonna be a hell of a show.

Phantom Menace is done. Seriously I don't why this movie gets so much hate. Jar Jar is annoying, yes, but the action scenes are top notch. Good times.

And we're through Attack of the Clones. Probably the weakest of the saga. The story beats are all fine, but everything between Anakin and Padme is just cringeworthy. I can get behind their love story...but the writing and direction is just plain bad in those scenes.

Revenge of the Sith down. Easily the strongest of the prequels. I like all the beats of anakin's fall, but man I wish they had lead into them more in AotC. It's believable, but oh so very rushed in this movie. Something that stood out to me on this viewing was the fact that there are so many wacky wipes. Every single wipe uses some kind of weird effect.

Just finished A New Hope. Lots more audience engagement with his one. Cheers, laughs, clapping. The general movie going audience does seem to overwhelmingly prefer the OT

And there's Empire down. I still can't decide if ANH or ESB is my favorite of the OT. Both are so good. Once again, loads of audience reactions from this one. Especially at the Luke/Leia kiss.

And we're through Return of the Jedi. Anakin's Ghost being Hayden got a huge laugh/boo combo. The hype is too real. The next film I'll be watching, in 91 minutes, is Episode VII.

Yeah, I'm legit surprised that was a thing, but it helped me deal with the disappointment of not having it in front of VII Speaking of: It's over. It's done. I have been awake for 24 straight hours. Star Wars was good. Star Wars was great. i was sadly spoiled on Han's death, but it was well done and I'm not upset about it happening Holy shot though. X-wings are the best.

Re: World Building Heres the most important bit that the movie leaves out: The New Republic and the Empire-turned-First Order exist in a state of technical peace. As long as the First Order hangs out in their territory the New Republic won't go to war with them. But the First Order is doing stuff like terrorizing unaligned planets, building huge armies and super weapons and the like, so Leia and a few others splinter off and form the Resistance. The Resistance is not officially supported by the Republic, but a few lines (such as wishing the fleet would show up against Starkiller Base) imply that the Republic had either implicitly or explicitly promised to support "legitimate" military operations against the First Order.
