zetamind2000 posted:the sequels would have been better with more backyard wrestling Maybe if we'd gotten that Stormtrooper rebellion plotline... Their armor (ostensibly) deflects blasters, so maybe once they got into grab range you'd see more brawling, given bonking them on the head tends to put them out of a fight

Robot Style posted:The quote is from Dafne Keen, so it's not like it's a mission statement from the showrunner or something. It seems more like a 19 year old kid who grew up watching the prequels is now excited to be in a real lightsaber fight and is is comparing it against the one she remembers most fondly. Oh poo poo it's Wolverine! I hadn't realized that's her in the Acolyte, I might give the first episode a try now.

I have a question about Revenge of the Sith's soundtrack. I'm trying to find the alternate version of the score for Battle over Coruscant that includes the full fanfare at the beginning rather than just the isolated war drum beat. I know it exists because the fanfare has a reprise later in the film when Cody and the clones first arrive on Utapau and interrupt Obi Wan's duel with Grievous. The variant track is also used extensively in the 2005 Battlefront 2 game for the Clone Wars era levels. I swear I've seen a version of Revenge of the Sith that opens with the full fanfare but so far my Google and youtube searches have turned up nothing and I'm wondering if I've just done a Mandela Effect and remembered it wrongly and it has only ever been shown with the war drums opening.

Always been isolated drums. I remember because I listened to the rots cd every night until release and really thought the film would immediately kick in the very second the crawl faded. But no. The war drums played and I was thrown for a loop. First time I noticed drastic differences in available soundtracks vs the actual film I wanted the full version of the final duels so bad.

It's like how the latter half of the Ice Planet Hoth theme is better known from the Shadows of the Empire video game than it is from Empire Strikes Back.

I've gotten a lot kinder to the Mustafar fight over time. It's just so ludicrously over the top that it's always made me roll my eyes, but last time I watched it I managed to drop all that and just enjoy the silliness of their melodrama being reflected externally so fully.

I think my favorite lightsaber fight is when Luke goes apeshit on Vader in RotJ. That’s not a visually striking movie overall compared to ESB, but the choreography, cinematography, and score for that bit really hit hard. Seeing Vader on his heels and out of gas for the first time was also really a big moment there. Is it cheapened a bit now that we know that like 8 other people had fought him to a draw or outright beaten him over the past 15 years? Yeah, but only a bit.

Another great thing about it is that it is very satisfying to watch Luke finally cut loose on the bad guy who cut off his hand... but then you remember that that is his dad and the real bad guy wants all this to happen, Luke stop!

Still like round three in Cloud City the best. Vader has been toying with Luke, demonstrating his mastery of the Force. Then he loses patience and just turns into an angry monster who comes out of the walls and starts hammering on Luke.
