CelticPredator posted:This is what made the prequels awesome as a kid. They even made action figures that allowed you to cut body parts off of. Like Jango Fett, with decapitation action, or Anakin Skywalker, with alternate burned, dismembered body action. Heck, even Count Dooku from ROTS made it so that you could easily remove his arms, and head just like in the film! I remember I had a Tusken Raider toy with magnetic decapitation action! And I think there was an Anakin with a magnetic hand that you could take off too.

They use remote control sometimes but he'll be the actor when R2 is walking around on two legs.

I would characterise the Kurdistan Worker's party, as very good

Cnut the Great posted:I agree. It's a decent story hook. But if they do end up actually going the route of "The Jedi really are bad on a fundamental level and need to go away" then that would be a pretty awful betrayal of what the series stands for. I disagree - if anything I think that "the Jedi are bad" could be done in way consistent with the previous six movies, as long as it doesn't act like the Sith are misunderstood or some poo poo. There's enough in the prequels to support the idea that an institutional Jedi Order is a bad idea, and it's only outwith that order that Obi-Wan, Yoda, Anakin and Luke succeed.

Cnut the Great posted:An institutional Jedi Order isn't any more of a bad idea than an institutional democracy. The point of the prequels is that institutions inevitably ossify and become corrupted over time and must periodically go through a process of destruction and renewal. That doesn't mean the Jedi fundamentally shouldn't exist as an institution. Institutions can have their downsides, but there's a reason why they spring up, and it's because they serve a valuable purpose. There's utility in bringing individuals together within an organized structure with standards and guidelines directed towards a unified goal. There's also utility in encouraging individuality and the idea of being willing to challenge institutions when they start to lose their way. I don't know why the choice always has to be between total anarchy and total authoritarianism. I feel like an interpretation of Star Wars that is both against liberal democracy and the Jedi Order isn't too far fetched.

Taintrunner posted:The Jedi robes are clearly the same visual style to what Ben is wearing. Anakin starts wearing dark robes in 3 because teen angst. None of the Stormtroopers recognize what are clearly Jedi robes. Even if the old clones died, the new ones would have "Hey! This guy's wearing Jedi robes!" programmed in their head. Stormtroopers aren't clones and the Jedi have been all but dead for 18 years by the time of A New Hope.

I love that Darth Maul bit. "Sector is clear." *Darth Maul immediately kills everyone else* "Not clear, not clear!"

The original Battlefront had a map set in the grassy plains of Naboo and they solved it by having wrecked statues and stuff scattered around. The first mission of that game where you got to play as a regular Battle Droid instead of a Super was so good and I'm already looking forward to playing Battlefront 2 and leaving whenever it's not a prequel era match.

Yaws posted:Do the prequel Battlefront maps look as bad as the prequels themselves? Given that the prequels look very good, and that the original Battlefront is a video game from 2004 and the last prequel was released in 2005, no, the game looks a lot worse than the films.
