jivjov posted:I'm glad to see that it seems like they'll be following up on Rey having crazy amounts of raw power. I'm not. It's lazy. It's like when a popular series regular leaves, so the producers panic at the thought of losing popularity, so they replace that character with someone who's just like them, but they overcompensate by telling the audience that the new character is even better than the last one. It's something the EU would do. "Think Luke and Vader were powerful? Well, these new characters are better than them because they're even more powerful!"

jivjov posted:It seems like its gonna actually be a plot point though. Not just upping the stakes for no reason. So was Starkiller base. "It's like the Death Star, but better!" Rey and Ren can't just be Force users, they have to be the most powerful force users, ever!

thrawn527 posted:Han and Leia were just fine when they sent Ben to train with Luke. Leia felt that Luke would be a better teacher to Ben than she could be, since he would understand better what Ben was going through. Then (spoilers for the book Bloodline) a political enemy of Leia's finds out that Leia is the daughter of Vader, and has the info leaked. This is how Ben finds out, while training away from his parents, that he is the son of Darth Vader. By a public broadcast. I bring this book stuff up because Rian Johnson had a hand in some story elements in the book, so it might come up. Can we reboot the EU again?

UmOk posted:This is a good post. Anakinds awkwardness is really only present when he is with Padme. When he is doing space knight stuff he behaves totally differently. I always like the speeder chase with Zam in AotC. You can tell his jokiness with Obi-Wan is an attempt to cover up his anger. And I like how this was edited: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i94r3-zOhoc&t=140s Lucas didn't have Obi-Wan look up after Anakin yelled, he had him look up moments before, because Obi-Wan knew Anakin had already lost control.

josh04 posted:Whether or not the story itself is true, what it tells us about George Lucas' character and approach to Star Wars is brutally accurate. I said this before but George Lucas is the best simply because he doesn't take Star Wars as seriously as Star Wars fans do. Watch any behind the scenes stuff, and he's more likely to call them "laser swords" than "lightsabers", and he freaking invented the name. I remember a couple of years ago at a Star Wars fan film convention, people got upset at him for picking, as the fan film of the year, a animated short about a child singing about getting a Boba Fett action figure. Fans thought it was disrespectful that he would choose that over something that expanded the lore and used SFX.

He took it seriously, but he was also able to poke fun at it as well. Robot Chicken, The Family Guy specials. I knew of people who were upset at these, because they felt it disrespected the story.

turn left hillary!! noo posted:That he doesn't particularly care if anyone else gets what he's doing, joke or not, is evident with the prequels; recall the stories about the panic he caused everyone around him with The Phantom Menace when they felt no one was going to go see it. Didn't he give either NSync or the Backstreet Boys cameos as Jedi that he ended up having to edit out because of the massive backlash?

Mr. Funny Pants posted:I always took it as Vader being Palpatine's muscle more than anything. He was a pit-bull on a leash to be aimed at problems that required his particular abilities. Dealing with politics and bureaucracy wasn't one of them. So he's instructed to back Tarkin up, to be the visible and intimidating face of the Emperor when he couldn't be present. What, are you trying to say Vader isn't the kind to stay late to finish up his paperwork?
