vegetables posted:I think the first 20 seconds or so of Sith is the best thing in all of Star Wars— you see this massive proto-star destroyer from above, inverting the shot from original Star Wars, over the Republic the sun is literally setting on, then suddenly the camera flips and everything above it looks just like original Star Wars for the first time. Just this effortless sense of conveying the imminence of what’s coming, wordlessly and quickly, as part of an action sequence that is still cool and exciting. Unfortunately, then people start to speak Shortly afterwards, though, comes the most pivotal line of dialogue in all of Star Wars, the one that succinctly summarizes the entire thing: "How did this happen?! We're smarter than this!"

Star Wars is cool because it's WW2 in space as fought by robots, aliens, clones, and sword fighting wizards. That is all, thank you

The best lol from the prequel trilogy, at least for film 2 and 3 is that it was shot in such a way where they cant make a 4k conversion. A proper conversion that is. I think theres some 4k out there but know nothing about it.

The problem wasn't jar jar, it was that there were also characters other than jar jar. Really needed to be a one man show of just jar jar delivering a monologue for an hour thirty seven. But of course lucas is going to be a coward and not do it.

Jelly posted:I feel like this only applies to the prequels which had exceptionally good fight scenes and equally terrible dialog. I don't remember much from the sequels, good or bad, but I remember loling in the theater when Rey and Kylo team up to fight the red guys. It was like music video levels of fight choreography.

George Lucas had some cool ideas for a movie and more than that he created an opportunity for other people to explore some cool ideas. Then he got frustrated with the whole thing and fretted as his wife edited the movie. When it came out he was convinced it was going to fail. When it was a massive success he was still unhappy because it wasn't the movie he had eninvisioned. He expected the second one to fail and when it didn't he went "Cool, we'll just keep doing this." Which is why the third one had so many repeats. (Going back to Tatoonie, another Death Star and another family reveal.)

Darth Brooks posted:George Lucas had some cool ideas for a movie and more than that he created an opportunity for other people to explore some cool ideas. Also notably he originally listened to other people and let them reign in some of his crazier bullshit. I mean that's not even a slight against him when he was working on the originals. Most good artists need people to work with to refine their stuff. He was also really lucky he was able to get such good actors to say his dialogue... he's never been good at writing dialogue. dr_rat fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Oct 16, 2023 |
