re: Chopper He'd also probably kill you if you tried to change out his speakers. He literally tries to steal new parts he actually wants, and he likes sounding like he does (the real reason for his voice is that it's funny that he's just garbled enough that his constant profanity gets by the sensors). Since this is a movie thread, Chopper talk still counts since he's in Rogue One.

The star wars clone wars cartoon does intentionally look like cheap thunderbirds puppets, which lets it get away with wilder designs for planets and monsters and colors and stuff in the long run. But it is an acquired taste.

Chopper is a highlight of the mixed bag that is Rebels but I assumed they were just lower octave R2 style warbles, it being actual literate speech does diminish it a bit tbh lol

Who cares what the base sound was to create it? Its mostly incomprehensible! I like Chopper's pitter patter  There are so many different types of droid voices in star wars, and honestly? They all gently caress.

feedmyleg posted:Clone Wars is best watched with someone telling you which 10 episodes you should watch. If you dig them, get another 10 episodes from that person until you stop digging it. If you love, like, 30 episodes despite their faults, go back and watch all of it from the top. If not, move on. That's the beauty of it being more or less episodic (in arcs of 1-3 episodes). On that note I'd recommend the Umbara arc if someone wanted to check out the show. It's a 4 episode arc about a unit of Clones during a disastrous offensive on a strange planet. It looks cool, it's narratively self-contained while having obvious thematic links to the larger goings-on and it's one of the best things to come out of the cartoons.

none of the clone wars is this bad. i think the show is at its best when it's aware of how every single thing the characters do is trapped under a thick layer of dramatic irony, because we know what happens in revenge of the sith. the consequence of this is that the good episodes are mostly the opposite of the fan suggestions, since the fan suggestions focus on interminable garbage that has implications on later shows. season 6 is basically the only one i can recommend on the whole because it's just 'the clones are hosed', 'the republic is hosed', 'jar jar dunks on mace windu', and 'yoda doesn't learn anything' as four separate arcs, with all the plot threads tied up. (i will second the umbara arc though, since that's just 'what is it like being a droid serving under general grievous')

Artoo rolls onto the scene, a completely empty hangar. He stares out into the blackness of space, searching for Luke. He sings a moving rendition of Bring Him Home in dulcet tones that would move even the most hardened heart to tears. He then powers down, never to speak again...

I would like to think that a Star Wars fan would see how that's obviously just fun poo poo because Star Wars as a whole is goofy to begin with. I mean look at the sparkly glove. Unfortunately we're talking about Star Wars fans. I mean, the lightsaber noise right as Vader raises his arm? Cmon.

Don’t they not do that anymore since Galaxies Edge opened, what with their bizarre obsession with even the drat theme park being “canon”. It’s so stupid people don’t go to theme parks to experience canon they want to take pictures of their kids with Darth Vader and ride a roller coaster shaped like an Xwing.

I was watching "The Pervert's Guide to Cinema", which has Zizek using the imagery of Darth Vader's emergency surgery intercut with his childrens' birth to exemplify the Freudian idea of the primordial father that refuses to die, and he nonchalantly refers to the droids as just "the doctors", lol. Dude doesn't miss.

So you get "Chewbacca but can be understood and has a laser staff instead of a crossbow" or "Boba Fett, but she's a girl and a graffiti artist (and now she's learning to be a Jedi)". There's this fan-fictiony aspect to it all that I find ultimately charming because the characters grow beyond those humble derivative origins. And I do like that the riffs on the characters who don't speak English end up speaking English because that's an especially TTRPG change to make. Jeff making Wookiee noises is gonna be fun at first, but eventually someone is gonna say, "Jeff, just tell us what Rargtarg is saying already!"

The comics are filling it with giant story arcs that don't really have anything to do with the events of the movies War of the Bounty Hunters started with hunters vying for Han, which was swiftly turned into a Crimson Dawn saga that only just ended, and now there's a droid...not quite uprising (yet) nor rebellion, but the droids are getting taken over by an element introduced during the Crimson Dawn also the Force got a 'stone thrown into a still pond' treatment by the Crimson Empire attempting to neutralize Palpatine and Vader, and the effects of that have crippled Luke and empowered Vader It's been a wild ride for a long while

I rag on Legends for filling every hour of every day in and around the OT with important adventures where everyone had some part in stealing the Death Star plans. But it wasn’t without its upsides. It made it really feel like there was a whole galaxy wide revolution going on. Where every planet had its own plucky squadron of Xwing pilots, crew of smugglers, and imperial defectors. It organically/inadvertently made the whole war against the empire both really feel like a team effort that had wide spread popular support, and like an actual Star War. So much of the new comics and such feel like they’re focused on only using characters from the movies instead of original characters and we get so much less in general. Video games especially.

I've not seen the cartoons before aside from some clips here and there but this is cool and I wish we could get a Mace Windu movie because I thought he was an interesting character given he was a Jedi that also used the dark side which is why he was loving up Sheev so much, iirc? Dude was cooking bacon effortlessly deflecting all that lightning and probably would have pulled out some eggs if Anakin didn't show up. Just a simple movie with Sam Jackson as older Mace that survived the fall because he's Mace and got some cyborg parts and it revolves around him going after Sheev who's understandably scared of him. Lots of fun fights with him going through various enemies as he pursues Sheev until Vader's all that stands in his way and it's where Vader earns his stripes (since dude's been a jobber for so long now he needs a win) and actually defeats Mace while defending Sheev. Maybe nobody else wants that but I think it would be a fun movie set between episodes 3&4 but idk if Mace is interesting to anyone else for the same reasons and obviously it would have a bad ending since he'd lose to establish Vader's actually really powerful. Maybe it could be more interesting if they showed him succumbing more and more to the dark side throughout the film or something and that's his eventual downfall but it couldn't be worse than any of the other movies right?

I was kinda expecting a reveal of Snoke actually being Mace since he looked so hosed up (His design looked like he'd clearly been sliced up a lot and healed previously due to all the scars?) and it sorta fit into the not really being Sith/Jedi which was the same area Mace occupied. He was a fun character too and Andy Serkis was great as him. The throne room fight was fun but I expected Snoke to live since he'd clearly been sliced up plenty of times before and I wish we'd had him force levitating his torso and just laughing while chasing Kylo around and mocking him.
