Calaveron posted:Now I kinda want the climax of ep 9 to involve the falcon getting completely loving obliterated There has been a lot of speculation about that. Episode 7 - Han dies. Episode 8 - Luke dies. Episode 9 - Leia di... oops. With Carrie Fisher gone, there goes Leia's grand death scene. So who do we have left whose death could resonate with the old audience? Speculation I've heard in various podcasts points toward either Chewie or the Falcon. Or both.

Chewie won't die yet. He can be in the fourth trilogy whenever that happens. Disney isn't going to let that one go.

R2-D2 will be indestructible forever because he just beeps and boops but C3PO might eventually die when Anthony Daniels retires.

Comically, if you remember the Star Wars resurgence in the 90's with the special edition. All of the marketing was of characters that wore masks or were puppets, Yoda, Vader, Stormtroopers. Almost never saw Luke/Leia/Han on a can of Pepsi or a BK commemorative cup. Likely because GL didn't want to pay any money to the actors for their likenesses.

bring back Lando and then immediately kill him.Introduce him for 5 seconds just so the audience recognizes it's Lando, have him get shot right after, and then just linger on his corpse for another 30 minutes or so

GL owned their likenesses (for the age the movies were made) and could use them on whatever he wanted. Carrie Fisher told stories about it. It's why the Bantam book covers started looking ridiculous as they went on. They couldn't age the characters up the way they now knew the actors were aging. They could only take the likenesses they owned already and "old age makeup" them up, causing horrific poo poo like this.  This took place 45 years after ANH...like 4 years from now, compared to when the movie came out.

I had those when I was a kid, and Yoda seems especially weird to me, because he's not really a substantial part of that movie. It seems like the thought process was like this: Episode IV: "Alright, first movie, what's the most iconic character from the movie? Clearly Darth Vader. Boom, book it." Episode V: "Okay, Empire is striking back, so what image symbolizes the Empire the most? Darth Va...poo poo, we already used him. Okay, Stormtrooper it is." Episode VI: "It's the return of the Jedi, so we need a Jedi. Using Luke would be weird, as we haven't used actors up until now, so...I guess Yoda? He's in this movie, right? I think? For like 5 minutes? Sure, whatever, no one really cares anyway, and people like Yoda."

Another likely reason for the Vader-Stormie-Yoda set is that they wanted a uniform set of three photographs, and they are all masks that can be pulled out of the closet or remade (or rendered these days) to be photographed for stylistic uniformity. (and if you dont like the Yoda one you'll have to take that up with John C Reilly in Step Brothers)

Well, it was alright. A ton of dumb things which I could nitpick, but there were some good bits too. I wish they went more western with it though, cut out some of the characters and one or two locations and strip it back a bit. It was pretty great to have Maul be the ringleader, but the cgi work on him was pretty awful (colour holograms = terrible) and a bit cheesy, but Witwer was good with the voice. Polo-Rican posted:it turns out that the yellow STAR WARS logo, as well as every single story crawl, are actual physical objects floating in space. The Millenium Falcon, piloted by John Williams, Chewbacca, and a really bad CGI Leia, blow up the story crawls with lasers and then kamikaze into the Star Wars logo. Smash cut to the closing credits (times new roman on white background - no music) It is actually a hologram floating above Coreilla. At least the SOLO logo is. Cross-Section posted:Reminder that the Falcon is only slightly less hosed up than the Resistance is at the end of TLJ: Way more hosed up near the end of solo. crash lands on a landing platform and bits are falling off... yet lando still somehow takes off again in it. drunkill fucked around with this message at 18:24 on May 23, 2018 |

Yeah true, but snoke hologram was dumb anyway. The red really stands out because the rest of the hologram is blue, so when he takes off the hood of his black robes (with blue highlights due to hologram) and you see his red face it stands out a bunch. Then the bright red lightsaber is even more contrast-y. Voice by Sam Witwer, like in Clone wars and Rebels. Ray Park is shown, but given it is a hologram with facemakeup and added cgi, it looks a bit weird and stands out. He is older and ugly. Infact, here is a screencap I found on reddit of Maul: https://i.redd.it/g9lmt5u49lz01.jpg There is a war scene in this, sorta Starship Troopers infantry-rush style war. Dark, very muddy, trench warfare-like, which I think some people were expecting RO to be, instead of a tropical and bright battle. This is muddy and gritty but basically 100% infantry focused and no enemy is really seen except as silhouettes. AT-AT dropships, ISDs hanging around in-atmosphere in the far distance, imperial army assault on some random planet.
