galagazombie posted:A big corporation doesn't want to pay taxes that would lower its profit margins? Perish the thought, it must surely be noble intentions that caused them to brutally invade an unrelated planet and put its people in concentration camps. It's worth noting that the Republic's overall reaction to this - even when provoked into actually doing something - is kind of on par with what would happen if Microsoft got caught loving up its taxes.

Preston Waters posted:literally no one wanted a Han Solo origin story. I would've wanted an adventures of Han Solo movie though. See him flying around with Chewie, smuggling, having a run in bounty hunters, pissing off Jabba, scoffing at the Rebellion and the Force. Basically, everything but an origin movie would've been more interesting.

Guiness13 posted:Oh my god, I hate you for putting this in my head when there's no way I'm gonna get it. I was thinking recently that while others may scoff at the concept, I'm actually a little disappointed that the movie centred on Mos Eisley was among the spin-offs cancelled, because "22 Short Films About Mos Eisley" done like an Elmore Leonard story where the droid-hating bartender is the main character (revealed to be a retired stormtrooper from the planet De'troi't, of course) might have been fun.

Darth TNT posted:I like how for the internet a no name stormtrooper managed to become the new Boba Fett (a character people latched on to despite having no real role or presence in the story thanks to a single line of dialog). I like how they explicitly intended for Phasma to be this trilogy's Boba Fett but it didn't happen because they forgot the most important part of Fett was that he was accidental

Phasma is literally just a shiny stormtrooper with a cape.

I still think Kylo Ren screaming Traitor at Finn in TFA is better than TR-8R or Phasma's deliveries of the same line TR-8R had a nicer backdrop though and Phasma's...well, Phasma

I never saw it though. So for me it was just the one line from Vader "No disintigrations", cool armor and him getting away on his own big rear end ship. Question Friend posted:I like how they explicitly intended for Phasma to be this trilogy's Boba Fett but it didn't happen because they forgot the most important part of Fett was that he was accidental I'm probably the only one, but I look forward to her being back again and falling in a hole one last time.

Phasma might have become A Thing if TFA didn't comically undercut her entire menacing affect by having her get literally thrown in the trash for a gag.

Phasma might have become a thing if the fight in TLJ was in TFA instead. Had her kick the poo poo out of Finn instead of TR8T0R and then get blown away by Chewies bowcaster despite the laser bouncing off.

Preston Waters posted:it kind of has been since ROTJ though. That movie has so many things that you could tear to shreds but for whatever reason nobody does. Basically everyone acknowledges that it's the weakest of the original trilogy, but they overlook those problems because it still has characters they care about and wraps up their stories in satisfying ways. The prequel and sequel trilogies by comparison are just a bunch of assholes fighting it out on the rear end end of space, who out there is honestly dying to see how any of this ends. I predict there will be more star wars!

Blood Boils posted:Yeah SMG, you trippin. Jedi is ugly, but not ewok movie ugly. I can post examples later, but you’re probably basing that on the VHS quality or maybe the cheapness of the production design. Track down an HD copy of Caravan Of Courage and it’s consistently on par with Episode 6 or better on a presumably-far-lower budget. (The d.p. was academy award-winning filmmaker John Korty.)

 It just has the worst compositions. Also this from the cinematographer. "When we saw the first test of the Redwood Forest, the director felt it looked a little bit too glossy. He wanted it made somewhat more mundane and totally believable—he really hates the feeling that anything has a studio look at all. So what I had to do was just go back and make another test and what little bits of gloss I had put into it, I took away, which made the overall job of the lighting somewhat easier, it just meant that I approached it in a simpler way, leaving it looking flat and dull. "
