The experimental poo poo will come from the one-shot movies. They're gonna play it real close to the vest with the numbered series.

Frackie Robinson posted:The prequels were all about telling the fans that they really need to grow up, get laid, and set childish things aside, so I imagine the new ones will be, "no, it's still okay to like Star Wars, you're not a man-child, this is all as cool as you remember" Actually the two people who stop being childish and grow up (Anakin, Jar Jar) ruin the galaxy, so, I dunno. If it advocates anything about lifestyle it's a balance of logic and emotion and that too much of one is dangerous.

Bongo Bill posted:Qui-Gon acts wise but speaks foolish. He parrots Jedi Order dogma but trusts his instincts and hears the will of the Force. He does his job, but when the situation goes off the rails, he starts doing the right thing instead. Keep this in mind. But he's the only one who truly understands the Force because he's the first who is The Force brings back as a ghost. He goes to Force heaven and tells Yoda and Obi-Wan how things really should be. He's Jedi Colton Burpo.

Cat Machine posted:That's because you aren't told anything about him Yeah exactly. Star Wars has always been pretty smart with their marketing of every character ever. A kid who plays with action figures can buy the entire Cantina cast and do whatever their imagination allows because they are blank slates. And hypernerds can get every minute detail of their "canon" backstories from terrible novels.

I dabbled down the fan edits rabbit hole and every one of them is universally terrible except one called the Blackened Mantle. It replaces the entire audio track with the Japanese one and uses subtitles to entirely re-write the dialogue. While it is not fantastic by any stretch it gets points for being ambitious and having the tone/pacing/editing of a samurai film and not just because of the language. The editor was clearly inspired by them in a way similar to Lucas with the old serials.

Remember these brave chroniclers of the true Star Wars vision of the fans are working with what they've got, after all. e: I want someone to re-edit the prequels into making Jar Jar the most important character.

The rear end Stooge posted:I heard that there's a scene where Luke Skywalker's head gets cut off and his body staggers around spraying blood out of its neck stump and some of it gets in Leia's mouth and she throws up and that makes everyone else throw up and they're all just slumping around vomiting while Luke's body twitches on the floor and then Rey shits herself. Anyway this movie sounds awesome. You're mixing this up with Hateful 8.

Don't worry guys, the Onion is covering this thread for us. It's also worth noting that the redundancy of a soft reboot (in some ways, ala, Star Trek 09), might be a valid complaint. But even if it is, it will be argued not with reason but either with EU fervor or the "It's like poetry" clip from youtube. weekly font fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Dec 16, 2015 |

Zoran posted:As with Darth Vader, many people approach the prequels with the idea that Yoda should be the same as he was in the later movies. Instead, we have a Yoda who uses his mundane sword and is always trying to look to the future. This is absolutely correct and I wish they would have shown it in a way that didn't involve him turning into Batman Arkham City.
