As much as the prequels mostly mess things up thematically, I think Grievous is a good indicator that they could absolutely make Vader's body far more physically capable if they wanted to. Palpatine's whole thing is basically grooming Anakin and encouraging his worst traits until he has leverage over him. And it dovetails nicely with RotJ, where Palpatine wants to trade in for the young fresh model of Skywalker.

Chill Penguin posted:I wouldn’t say it “adds depth.” Remembering his time at war, and the accompanying PTSD/shellshock (not sure if “PTSD” was classified as such in 1975) was always part of the script, and thus the actor’s performance. It certainly contextualizes and gives us more specificity and allows us to really hone in on what was a very brief moment, but the moment was already there. The depth was already there, in his performance. Okay, fair point. I wouldn't want to sell Sir Alec short !

I finally saw the rise of skywalker. It was really bad. The only thing I liked was Rey using the force to heal the snake's wound. But then old JJ had to go and have her explain exactly what the movie had perfectly shown ten seconds earlier because he thinks the audience is dumb. Abrams is a bad film maker.

I finally saw it today too. It was bad in a much different way than I'd expected. In the end, I could only think of it as Star Wars: Episode IX: Cut n' Paste. I'm reminded of so many of the old EU comics where a decent idea could have been developed to work correctly, but given the limitations of a monthly comic book deadline and matching talent, books came off half baked and disappointing.

There was one of the books where Luke could fly, The Courtship Of Princess Leia I think. His ship explodes in the atmosphere and he floats down to the surface and his friend sees him and says "I guess that's why they're called Skywalker"

Back in the 90's, there were plans to do a book explaining the history of the Star Wars galaxy, which would have explained that the first Skywalker was a descendant of Ron Howard's character from American Graffiti who learned to levitate while leading a slave revolt against the species that would evolve into the Hutts.

Remember when the rumor was going around that RoS was called that because a Skywalker was the first force user (hence the name), having literally discovered the force and indirectly created the Sith or whatever? that would have been loving high art compared to what we got lmao

MasqueradeOverture posted:Can't wait for X, XI & XII to come out just for the internet to start being like "This poo poo sucks, the Direct Sequels were better!" That won’t happen because, first, it’s difficult to imagine a worse-made series of films. But, more importantly, consensus around the ST has been an intensified version of all previous negative reaction to the OT. It’s not analogous to prequel hate. It may be tough to recall, but the common opinion of Star Wars fans was that - although they liked all the trappings of the franchise, like lightsabers and stuff - all the movies were bad except Empire Strikes Back (which came across as “deep” and “artsy” although/because they couldn’t follow the basic narrative, and because the evil corrupter Lucas was allegedly not involved in its creation). So what you have now is this idea that Episode 8 is “the good one” because it allegedly has the least influence from Disney and Abrams, with its most vocal defenders invariably unable to even write out an accurate plot synopsis.

Even people who hate the prequels can still follow along with the basic plot progression of the movies, they usually mainly criticize the way that story was executed, or whether it was worth telling. With the sequels, I doubt anyone can really even summarize the story of all 3 in a coherent, simple way without taking huge liberties.

From what I remember of the Prequeldome thread in the sci-fi forum, people who watched the prequels have difficulty understanding a lot of the plot, including but not limited to: why Anakin turned to the Dark Side, why Yoda fought in the war, and what the Separatists actually wanted

Yeah it's kinda pointless to look at the takes from people who totally hate either set of movies, because you'll always see a lot of "this is completely incomprehensible nonsense" from people who aren't at all interested in parsing something meaningful from the movie. If even defenders of a movie can't explain it, it's a much more interesting sign.

Lord Krangdar posted:With the sequels, I doubt anyone can really even summarize the story of all 3 in a coherent, simple way without taking huge liberties. It’s not impossible: In the aftermath of Episode 6, the events of the “throne room battle” ended up widely publicized. Attempting to rebuild after the failure of the Empire, the galaxy became split between ‘Skywalkerist’ moderates and ‘Vaderist’ progressive radicals (based on who they credit with having defeated Satan). These sides formed political parties known as the New Republicans and the First Order, respectively. Despite being in power for several decades, the New Republicans are massively unpopular. Society under them is slowly collapsing, and they maintain their rule through ‘black op’ dirty tricks and subterfuge. Luke Skywalker personally tries to murder half his trainees for having communist leanings - a plot that backfires spectacularly, as those same students eventually become the Knights of Ren: the collective leaders of the First Order. To regain power, the hardcore ideologues of the former New Republic recruit The Antichrist - literally the spawn of Satan (who, as it happens, is still alive and manipulating everyone into doing evil). What actually happens after that point is entirely ambiguous.
