Farbtoner posted:Does this mean that they're going to cancel the Clone Wars cartoon to move everything under Disney's TV umbrella? My god, the tears will match the Stormtrooper cosplayers Like they did with Marvel, Disney seems to be honoring old contracts (Universal still owns the rights to theme park attractions of Marvel characters in Florida. In California, it's Disney's free game. Weird) so I imagine they'll allow Clone Wars to continue unless they really want to do something new that Clone Wars will go against, and if it's the case, Disney will have to buy out the contract. Also: Why do the tears of anyone matter so drat much to the internet. It's a stupid thing that needs to stop, but of course it's the internet so

MichiganCubbie posted:In her play based on her autobiography, she talks all about how much she hates George Lucas. She talks about him being an uncaring robot who wanted her to lose weight even though she weighed 110, and how her face was too fat, but they gave her a hairstyle that made her face wider. She also wasn't allowed to ever wear a bra on set, on orders from Lucas, because "there is no underwear in space." She was always pressured to lose weight, apparently from Lucas himself, even when she was 95 pounds. She seems to have gained a bit of a sense of humor about it in more recent years. She talks about it on the "Making of Star Wars" documentary they made a few years back and is a) a bit nicer about and b) goddamn hilarious. Her recounting her fear of getting fired as they did the jump over the trench is great. "Thought I was going to hit a wall, they'd say "Nope, still too Tubby, bring in Jodie Foster!"

Kevin is retiring from filmmaking, or at least say so. He also knows that he can't direct action worth a poo poo, and therefore would pass on the chance. I am sure he'd ask to be in it though.

A human heart posted:The Black Hole is a live action Disney film that owns(especially the completely batshit ending sequence), but it's old enough that Disney today can't really be compared to the Disney that made it. I surprised that they haven't tried for a reboot of that actually, they've dredged up all sorts of other properties for movies. They had plans to. It was going to be done by the director of Tron Legacy, but when that didn't do what Disney wanted, I think it put a stop on Black Hole.

It does capture the feel of Spielberg's work in the 80's, so it did succeed on some fronts. gently caress Damon Lindelof. (although Prometheus rules, so, I guess everyone gets ONE)

Macaluso posted:Yeah a little bit ago they revamped it so you can go to something like 100 different random locations in the Star Wars universe. It's awesome. From memory, I've been pod racing, the underwater area in Naboo, Endor racing speeder bikes, Hoth, and that big city from the prequels (you fly around all the sky cars and nearly crash several times). I've also gotten holograms from Leia and Yoda. They don't have Star Wars weekends in Disneyland, only Disney World. Fun Fact: JJ Abrams favorite composer Michael Giacchinio supervised on the music for the new version of Star Tours, taking the familiar John Williams songs and making them fit the ride profiles. Just a prelude to doing the movies, maybe.

Really, the best thing the prequels gave us was more John Williams Star Wars music. And now that this new film looks to be ready to do the same, I can say I am all for it. I also think J.J. is the best man for the job. After Into Darkness, it's clear that's all he wanted to do was make Star Wars movies.

If anyone really wants to hear Giacchino do Star Wars, just ride the new version of Star Tours at your closest Disney park. He rearranged the Williams scores to match the various different versions of the ride, and composed new music for the queue line.

thrawn527 posted:I think the point of Force lightning was that, no matter how prepared Luke thinks he is to face Vader and the Emperor, he's still a child in the ways of the Force. He can lightsaber battle with Vader and even beat him, but the Emperor outmatches him in every single way. All of his preparation, all of his skill, and there's still so much that he just doesn't understand. He thinks he has control of the situation and that there's nothing the Emperor can do to stop him. Then bam, pure unadulterated Dark Side power slams him in the face and completely incapacitates him. It was meant to be the ultimate expression of Dark Side power, and for it to come out of nowhere because we understand the Force only as much as Luke does. The only use of it in the prequels that bothers me is Dooku. Obi Wan just throws up his saber, no biggie. If that had been removed, once again Force Lightining would have only appeared in the third film of the trilogy, used by Palpatine. Mace Windu blocking it with his saber in Ep. III is shown to take a lot of effort, and he almost loses his grip several times. That works much more in like with the ROTJ Lightning power than Ep. II. Maxwell Lord posted:Nah, the OOT release was the theatrical one. Just not in very good quality. Well, yes, but there is also the fact that Fox still has some distribution rights over A New Hope, I believe. The rest of the films are essentially independent movies solely produced by Lucasfilm that Fox doesn't control, but Fox co-produced ANH.

Red posted:I'm not sure how I feel about cutting Fett out of RotJ. His presence at least counters Luke somewhat, and gives Jabba's side somewhat of a fighting chance. I think his inclusion was well intentioned. Lucas and his writers probably thought audiences would have loved to see Boba Fett get his comeuppance for his deeds in Empire, but they didn't take his popularity as a character into account.

Hbomberguy posted:Speaking of good Star Wars characters ruined by Star Wars: Dooku. The guy in Attack of the Clones seems almost like it pains him to be siding against the Jedi, like he might actually be just a guy with a different perspective on what was right and how the Jedi had lost their way. He seems genuinely upset when the Jedi refuse to surrender peacefully. This is why I don't pay attention to the EU and I am glad the new movies are mostly ignoring it. Count Dooku was a cool character in an otherwise not cool movie, and seeing the look on his face when he realizes Sidious was betraying him was actually really cool. drat it.

Bongo Bill posted:I hope this thread will provide a list of Bad Episodes That Should Be Skipped. Look at the plot description. If Jar Jar Binks plays a large role, perhaps skip it. While not as annoying as in the films, his episodes are filler. Also a three episode arc where Obi Wan, Anakin, and Anakin's padawan wind up on a planet whose only inhabitants are a microcosom of the force, acting as sort of a secondary confirmation of the prophecy. It's just so goddamn bizarre, and lo and behold, the only time George Lucas had an idea for episodes directly.

I really like Asohka (besides the movie, where she is pretty insufferable, but they realized quickly how that wasn't going to work if they were going to have her be a good lead in the series) Yeah, do not watch the Clone Wars movie. I don't know how they can have such a disparity of quality between that and the actual series, since they are done by the same people, but wow.
