Give me a full-on pulp-styled Lando series with Donald Glover that just goes full-hog with exaggerated storytelling because imagine Lando not embellishing his story at every chance he gets

Good or at least okay "on-screen" Star Wars made under Disney: Rogue One. Two of the three arcs of the revival Clone Wars Season. Between half to two thirds of Rebels. Both seasons of the Mandalorian. Bad "on-screen" Star Wars made under Disney: The Sequel Trilogy. Solo. That arc of the revival Clone Wars season where Ahsoka hangs out with the "How do you do fellow kids?" hip young smuggler sisters. Resistance. That episode of The Mandalorian where he teams up with the newbie gunslinger on Tatooine. A third to a half of Rebels. Haven't watched Bad Batch.

Resistance was fine, they just never let the main character be a main character by keeping him out of his element 95% of the time, so you're really better off following literally any other character Even Buggles, whose entire character is "dog" The back halves of both seasons are great though

There are no bad episodes of Rebels. Even the whales. There’s a reason just about every character on that show is beloved by the fan base.

I think Solo is a special case because there's probably a good film there in the editing room.

Bad Batch for me is a bit too similar to Rebels, in that it's this ragtag group who are always on the run and each episode is like a forced detour where they have take on a mission to get some fuel or to buy some information to get them to the next destination or whatever. Just a very very similar formula to Rebels, but it's still good because the characters are (mostly)good.

I thought Rebels was very bad. It felt like a kids show rather than an all-ages show. That probably means that it just wasn't made for me, and that's fine, but it irks me when it's talked about in the same breath as TCW because to me the writing felt vastly inferior. e: and Solo did not have a good film in it. The entire foundational concept of the script was wrong. You should not try to turn the opening of The Last Crusade into a full movie. It was written like a Wookieepedia page checklist, not a self-contained narrative. Han's arc is also the exact same as in ANH. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Jun 22, 2021 |

I thought that the costume designs in Rebels were mostly very bad. I liked the Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper Mandalorian.

Solo is a waste of a really good cast in my opinion but I at least found it watchable if nothing else.

I mean the basic problem for Solo with me is it's hard to look at. It's so dark and dingy and grimy for no good reason. Every other Star Wars has some visual spectacle to it, or at least some pretty shots. Like say what you will about Abrams, he generally knows where to point the camera. I'm not sure at what point the decision to make the film so grungy was made, but it's a problem made worse by the reshoots on half-sets so they have to keep the camera super tight so you don't notice the backgrounds.

The plush interior of the Lando falcon is the only thing I remember from Solo probably because it was the only thing visible in the film

I'm not sure at what point the decision to make the film so grungy was made, but it's a problem made worse by the reshoots on half-sets so they have to keep the camera super tight so you don't notice the backgrounds. Cinematographer Bradford Young talks about it in some of the behind the scenes stuff. The intention was to make the movie feel like there were no studio lights used and everything was source-lit, so the characters intentionally dip into shadow a lot - though they wanted to preserve a lot of detail within the shadow. This works when you're sitting in a dark theater with a giant screen where there are no other sources of light, but absolutely fails when watching a compressed stream or blu ray of the movie that crushes all the low end tones into a gray mush. Movies are often re-graded for home viewing to compensate for ambient light, but Solo probably would have required a lot more work, and it might have broken the look of the movie entirely.

I mean I saw it in theaters and it still looked muddy and bad. By "hard to look at" I don't mean it's a problem of legibility, it's just not pleasant at all, not even in a beautifully grungy way. Alien looks good, this does not. It's not a Battle of Winterfell thing, it's just, I like the cool laser fights and spaceships going woosh and this is a bad way to present that. Solo also just feels like it should have been a fun light heist movie (especially on the heels of Rogue One and Last Jedi both being pretty dark in their own ways) but instead has a big body count and is all about how Han became so cynical but it doesn't even really convey that well.

Solo looked horrible in theaters as well (source: being dumb enough to see it), though the de rigueur argument at the time was to blame projectionists for not configuring the projector correctly for the movie. As for the extremely scuffed arcs, well hey they were absolutely certain they were going to do two more han solo movies

The episode of Mandalorian where they introduce Boba Fett was hilariously bungled, where the Mandalorian makes a series of increasingly dumb decisions. I remember joking to my friends the third time he came up to the Baby Yoda shield "imagine if he just walked at it again" and he does. Then Boba Fett just drives the car. I also got really mad about Baby Yoda eating all those frog babies. This is my Mandalorian review.

The sheer irony of the Sequel Trilogy taking so many cues from the Dark Empire Trilogy and making the Dark Empire Trilogy look good in comparison never ceases to get a laugh from me "It was not the first time I died, nor will it be the last. Such are the mysteries of the Dark Side of the Force." vs "I've died before. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural." "Surely you know that if you strike me down in anger, I will live again. Perhaps I will even live as you!" vs "Your hatred, your anger. You want to kill me. That is what I want. Kill me... and my spirit will pass into you." "The Dark Side has already won, young Skywalker. Why delude yourself; you know you belong to me. Father, son, are not two, they are one!" vs "The lifeforce of your bond... a dyad in the Force. A power like life itself. Unseen for generations. And now... the power of two restores the one, true Emperor."

Oooh boy, that last quote makes me wonder if people at Disney expect audiences to give a poo poo about who the last Force dyad consisted of.
