I still say they should have given CG Tarkin a practical Salacious Crumb type pet that was clearly a hand puppet.

The prequels were prescient for the current political landscape that we currently find ourselves in if you've been blind to partisan politics for the past 60 years.

Sunny Side Up posted:Everyone has the force. Rose’s twin breathing deep before kicking the ladder is a beautiful example. That’s also why Finn and Rose can redeem Qui Gon’s sins of omission passively enabling slavery. And the beautiful thing is that with the culling of the rebels, they’re ripe for rebirth from royalists to truly caring about the proles. The movie ends with a force user in slavery. Like, he's not going anywhere for the foreseeable future and is content with slave duties (using the force to grab his broomstick) and with the fact there's six more movies to fuel his escapist fantasies. What you're doing is falling for lip service from an unreliable character. TLJ is not about smashing the past. It's about perpetuating the illusion of change while blue milking the familiarity of the franchise and pulling in another wave of ticket buyers. ruddiger fucked around with this message at 12:47 on Dec 29, 2017 |

s.i.r.e. posted:Then he should have shot those scenes on Earth in exotic locals and uses color grading and minimal CGI to dress things up so it doesn't look like Earth, like how the other films did it. The problem is that the prequels only had good CGI in certain parts and they're few and far between. Some interior areas looked ok, but anything that was outside, naturally lit or any sort of organic mass (aliens or plants) it looks like complete dogshit. Anything moving outside of robots looks awful. There were a ton of practical sets and scaled model work in AoTC. https://makezine.com/2015/10/07/the-surprising-practical-effects-of-the-star-wars-prequels/ What you are doing is perpetuating an internet myth.

Which is hilarious because there is some really bad compositing in TLJ the pilots in the salt skiffs and Finn and Rose on the space llama being two sore thumb (yet not the only) examples.

Dre2Dee2 posted:The mechanical knowledge of "hit the dashboard" has been lost in the intervening 30 years... so many Resistance lives could have been saved... They hosed up what could have been a cool callback moment to this when Luke enters the falcon's cockpit. It lights up and they play it up like it's this special sacred moment. They should have had the lights blink on and off and the sound of an engine trying to rev and dying instead of the holy reverence they tried to give it in this movie.

They should be flying newer better designs by now.” But the x-wings are red now. And the Star Destroyers are slightly altered. They're totally different!

SuperMechagodzilla posted:As a contrast, I haven’t seen any reactionary Elysium or Chappie fans. Chappie's too much of a subversion of the macho male wish fulfillment trope. There's a guy at my work who was all geeked about the movie up to release and when it came out, he hated how "childish" they made Chappie and how off-putting Die Antwood were. He was expecting Terminator and got the creation of Adam story instead.

I always felt the quick embrace of the "Darth Jar Jar" meme by the fandom was a bit space racist, Jar Jar is nothing but altruistic and truthful throughout the prequel trilogy, but the majority of the fandom (including those who loudly proclaim the fandom should be all-encompassing) hated the character and his portrayal (which was co-signed by Ahmed Best, let's remember) so much, that they were quick to believe he was "evil all along" just on the strength of how much his otherness put them off.

Bongo Bill posted:Luke feels he did something wrong and could no longer be trusted. That's why he sent himself into exile. It's interesting that another poster views his retelling of events with "he simply forgot he ignited his light saber and had to be reminded when confronted with the truth" instead of "deliberately omitting an important piece of information to paint himself in a sympathetic light" It's like Star Wars fans forgot we've already been around this block with Obi Wan's certain point of view bit. Luke sees himself as Jack Torrance the ultimately altruistic and loving father from the book version of the Shining, instead of the Jack Torrance the guy was always a physically and emotionally abusive rear end in a top hat no matter how much he lied to himself from the movie version.

It reads to me more like "radicalism made this term, radicalism is bad" and that using blanket terminology might not be a good thing, no matter how angry you are (like kylo). Now that I think about it, maybe radicalism isn't the right term either. Militantism, maybe? Either way, it goes back to yoda's message, you can't fight hate with hate, otherwise you already lost to the dark side.
