Fighting Trousers posted:It's kind of funny rewatching Rouge One after Andor, because I remember Cassian killing that guy being a shocking thing - a dude getting straight up merked? In MY Star Wars? But post Andor, it's like, well yeah, of course Cass was gonna shoot him, what else could he do? This doesn't even crack the top ten of murders Cassian Andor has committed (this week). It is fun to think about how Cass is having the absolute week from hell. Honestly he's probably relieved to get obliterated

TheDeadlyShoe posted:I was amused by the chef droid. But like... the full might of Boba Fett's galactic reputation was required to (eventually) intimidate a tiny ratcatcher droid. The show really was just all over the place and it was hard to take the main character seriously. The tone of that segment or the “riding the Rancor” simply did not match at all with, say, the entire Tuskan flashback. It’s like you’re watching Blazing Saddles one minute and the show’s trying to insist it’s Last of the Mohicans in the next. Actually, “Blazing Armor: The Book of Boba Fett” would have been great and a good match with the comedy of his “end” in RotJ. You wouldn’t even have to make that many changes to the story. Fett to Jennifer Beals, “I look forward to a long and profitable association.” Walks out. Building explodes. Fett gathers a bunch of crime lords to get their fealty: “I am Boba Fett.” “The armor guy?” “Hey, wasn’t he a clone? How do we know you’re Boba Fett and not a clone trooper?” “The clone troopers had accelerated aging and are all elderly now. I did not.” “You look pretty old to me.” “Honestly, all you humans pretty much look alike.” Meeting breaks down into chaos until Fennec points a rifle at everyone. Actually, now I really want Ming-Na Wen in the Gene Wilder role. “Steady as a rock.” “Yeah, but I shoot with this hand.”

Neo Rasa posted:Rogue One also opens up with that guy's arm being busted and just IMMEDIATELY giving up saying he'll never climb out of there and his panicked resignation sealed his fate I need to rewatch Kino Loys speech… “Wherever you are right now, get up, stop the work. Get out of your cells, take charge and start climbing.” “There is one way out. Right now, the building is ours. You need to run, climb, kill! “

It’s Marva speech! “I always wanted to be lifted. I was always eager, always waiting to be inspired. I remember every time it happened, every time the dead lifted me... with their truth. And now I'm dead, and I yearn to lift you. Not because i want to shine or even be remembered. It's because i want you to go on.” That’s what all the climb / death pairs are, it’s that literally! It’s also why it’s Nemik’s speech at Partigaz’s demise. It’s that spiritually/ metaphorically!

Doctor Spaceman posted:(This is absolutely the Australian in me but) There are non-depressing beaches in the UK? Not surprisingly for an island whose coastline is infamously impossible to precisely measure but is in any case very long (longer than Mexico, Turkey, Brazil, India and Chile), yes, of course. If you want big sandy beaches for sunbathing obviously the med is better (although we still have those) but if you want beautifully rugged coastlines with old castles and poo poo right on cliffs overlooking the beach then we've got those six ways from Sunday. My Turkish friends have all been impressed whenever I've taken them to Whitby, for example, with a ruined gothic abbey overlooking the bay where Dracula was moored in the book.

feedmyleg posted:I could see a second season of Ahsoka being better than the first. It's too bad they hosed up Sabine so bad, and I didn't even like her from Rebels to begin with. Plus they hosed up Thrawn so bad, and I didn't even like him from the books to begin with. On the topic of Rebels, diminishing returns are kicking in hard with Season 3. I'm thinking that the shift into being a Clone Wars sequel show (and Rogue One prequel show/advertisement) seriously killed what was interesting in the series. Case in point: Obiwan. It was already weak when Darth Maul showed up and you were just expected to know his whole deal. But then, at the end of Season 3, Ezra is absolutely desperate to find Obiwan Kenobi - and, like, why? I legit thought I might've missed an episode, but it turns out this is almost purely a callback to a brief cameo appearance by the character, in a recording, in the loving series premiere. They try to justify it with a lot of exposition about how Ezra understands "Obiwan" as some kind of prophesied superweapon that will 'destroy the Sith', but that's not shown. You're instead intended to just already know Obiwan's whole story from the Clone Wars cartoon and the Lucas hexalogy (while ignoring that the ST rejects this whole narrative with its "somehow, Palpatine returned", Rey Skywalker stuff). I understand that many folks like this episode, but they are absolutely just coasting on familiarity with other media. Like, fanservice. Really weak stuff.

Finished the watch of Phantom Menace with my kid. The queen/handmaiden swap totally works at the end: "Oh! The bad guys didn't recognize her because they've only ever seen her with the white make-up on!" Honestly, that's something I hadn't caught in all these years. Qui-Gon's death didn't shake him at all. As soon as the duel started, he was like "I know who's going to die! I've seen this in Angry Birds Star Wars II!" Whaddaya know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAX71GmXQys&t=230s Also, there's a scene where two Neimoidians are standing next to Darth Maul and absolutely tower over him. I'm happy to inform you that the Sith apprentice has promptly been dubbed "Darth Small". Dave Syndrome fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Jun 24, 2025 |

It's been ages since I watched it, but wasn't the whole deal that he found out about all that stuff from merging the two holocrons which prophesised Luke, but they misinterpreted it and found Obi-Wan?
