It's kind of stupid to just bring him back out of nowhere but to be fair Palpatine is usually entertainingly hammy and was probably one of the few good things about the prequels, so more of that should be fun if nothing else.

Off the subject, is The Madalorian any good? I don't really know much about it other than the Baby Yoda memes and the fact that it apparently takes place post-ROTJ.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Aris is technically right in one sense: Leia leans toward the rightist fringes of the Republican party. She and her followers share much of their neofeudal ideology with Count Dooku. What Jedi though? By the end Rey's the only one left and she winds up loving off to Tatooine to become a moisture farmer or something.

Pretty good posted:"23 years after release", so the bad one. Wasn't ESB probably the least edited of the three movies though (aside from reshooting the Palpatine scene with Ian McDiarmid in place of the original actor which I'm personally fine with and changing Boba Fett's voice to match the prequels which I'm less fine with)? Unless there's something I'm forgetting that is. Larryb fucked around with this message at 10:15 on Jul 15, 2020 |

Though on the subject of CGI Tarkin, why couldn't they have just done the same thing for Carrie Fisher in TROS? Also out of curiosity, how were they able to recreate Peter Cushing's voice for that?

thrawn527 posted:No, but you don't really see any big games based on movies anymore. Especially for Disney owned properties. You'd think the MCU movies would be a potential cash cow for video games, but they only really had the one Avengers game that just came out, and it tries it's hardest to make sure you know it's NOT based on the movies. Ditto for the Spider-Man games. The Arkham Batman games all pull way more from the comics and 90's cartoon show than they do any of the movies. Well as mentioned there was a Lego adaption of The Force Awakens and another one coming out next year that covers all 9 films but otherwise fair point.

Also in regards to the end, if they weren’t going to use the young Palpatine actor that was rumored why not just have him turn back into pre-makeup Ian McDiarmid instead?

The guys playing young Han and Lando (I forget their names) were pretty well cast anyway. It’s not a great film in my opinion but I would at least call it a watchable one with some fun moments.

I would actually call the Clone Wars series to be one of the best things to come out of the prequels and Rebels is decent as well. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for Resistance in regards to the sequels.

Ah right, there’s also Star Wars: Resistance which I believe takes place just prior to The Force Awakens. It’s not great though and only lasted two seasons. Come to think of it, did that show even get a proper ending or was it just cancelled prematurely? Larryb fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Dec 3, 2020 |

Basebf555 posted:Up and down, but when it's good it's as good as Clone Wars was. There are some really effective and memorable moments, and just like Clone Wars it does manage to create and make you care about a bunch of new characters. I’m also impressed they managed to get some major guest stars like Frank Oz and Billy Dee Williams to cameo in an episode or two.

The interesting thing about that is both Christensen and Portman are decent actors in other productions they’ve been in but couldn’t do much in the prequels (though that’s probably more the fault of Lucas being a terrible director if nothing else).

Robot Style posted:That was actually something he explored early on when deciding the episode number for The Empire Strikes Back (A New Hope didn't get a number or title until it was re-released in 1981), and one of his early ideas actually had the Star Wars trilogy as Episodes 6 to 8, with Episode 1 being a prelude, 2 to 4 being the Clone Wars Trilogy, and 5 being an epilogue/prologue between the two trilogies. Also wasn’t what eventually became Return of the Jedi originally going to be like 2 or 3 separate movies?

2house2fly posted:Doesn't Vader still know right from the start of the movie? He says "Skywalker is with them" when he tells the generals to go to the rebel base, unless the special edition cut that out Also isn’t it literally stated in the opening crawl that he’s become obsessed with finding Luke? But yeah, as for the Emperor I personally think the change was for the better (I don’t see the original actor doing Palpatine’s later scenes nearly as much justice as Ian did).

Hell, Tony Daniels is a fellow Brit and has voiced Threepio (and more often than not was literally in the suit himself) in almost everything he's been in (don't remember what else he's done besides Star Wars though).
