He was starting to narrate his holo chronicles and was leading into a story about Sharu when he was interrupted Pretty sure that story he was using to hit on the woman playing sabaac at the end was referencing the one with the space whales as well

Trump posted:Solo massively underperformed. Rogue One made almost twice the money in it's 3-day weekend as Solo and 50% more even if you include Solos 4-day weekend. It's bombing harder overseas, and with the mess that was production... We're actually looking at a Star Wars film losing money. Yet let's be content, and the times lament, you see the world turn'd upside down.

This will all be worth it to cut to George Lucas pulling a black robe hood over his head cackling that all is as he foresaw it.

And it was apparently even George's idea to bring Darth Maul back from the dead...

darth maul was an extremely cool design and character with a pretty cool EU backstory. they probably shouldn't have killed him off in 1 and kept him around til 3 instead of recycling through boring rear end dooku and grievous. i was down with the idea of bringing him back but from my youtube research most of what he was brought back to do (other than his fight/final death against Obi Wan in rebels) was loving dorky and lame. also his hammy cartoon voice is terrible and it's even hammier and more terrible superimposed over ray park maul in Solo

CheesyDog posted:He was starting to narrate his holo chronicles and was leading into a story about Sharu when he was interrupted From what I caught, he actually name drops every one of the three adventures from that series in some way. The crystal skull from one of the covers of the Han Solo Adventures shows up in Vos's menagerie of display items as well. As in, it's the same exact skull, not a reference to the Indiana Jones skull. Though the Raiders totem shows up in the display too. Teek fucked around with this message at 06:03 on May 28, 2018 |

psyman posted:The sound effects really let this film down I think, I’m surprised at how weak and anemic the audio was. I’m convinced it’s part of why people are saying they found the experience a bit bland. I actually found the dialogue incredibly hard to hear in this movie - I haven't missed so many important lines since Interstellar.

Darth Maul was redeemed big time in the shows and I was pleasantly surprised to see him in this (altho spoiled by it but still felt cool for them to bring that to the big screen). Also this movie is boring.

Does Darth Maul even speak in The Phantom Menace? I remember there was a scene of him speaking in the original trailer but then it was cut from the film.

Ray Park had his lines cut and Peter Serafinowicz came in to voice: Maul: Tatooine is sparsely populated. If the trace was correct, I will find them quickly, Master. Maul: At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gug3R-bKt9U

The design was badass to me when I was 7, and was badass to my dad who watched the original trilogy in theatres, and by all accounts the character is popular. As in, the only prequel character you can meet at disney world popular. It might just be that teenagers are dumbass douchey contrarians and citing your teenage opinions makes you sound stupid as all gently caress

Maul was very different when he came out. I remember when the star wars fan magazine came in the mail and it the cover was his face. In some way he was kind of a teaser for how much the prequels leaned into unique and crazy designs for characters. In the originals all the villains were old white guys. Jabba I guess. I'm always surprised when people think Maul should have been kept through the PT though. He was so unappealing, I think somewhat by design. Even when I was a kid I thought it was weird that he was just kind of Sheev's dumb attack dog, and despite all the years of establishing him as a spooky 3D chess crime master, it's still hard for me to square with how he's presented in TPM. Just kind of a blunt instrument. As far as all the bad and good warrior-monks in these movies go he always seemed all warrior no monk. eh

Maul didn't need to be kept around for the other movies but I think Dooku should have been in Episode I.

Wheat Loaf posted:Maul didn't need to be kept around for the other movies but I think Dooku should have been in Episode I. Agreed, it would have been cool to have him around earlier since the seeds of Palpatine playing everyone against each other are planted in Episode I. By the time he and Obi-Wan meet he's already just telling them outright that they've been duped and is hesitant to even raise his hand against them at first. It kind of put them in a corner too because they needed him to be on screen with Anakin for a while but magically suddenly decide NOT to reveal any of the truth to him even to the point where it probably would have saved his life (Anakin's still at the point of errant force users being brought to trial rather than executed at this point in the story)
