LesterGroans posted:Eeeeeeh. There's nothing wrong with the Ewoks, the one ewok trying to wake up his dead friend is one of the best parts. But the second act sucks and the Endor part of the finale is really lifeless. The effects for the Death Star run are cool but its hard to care about what's going on since it's a retread of the finale of Star Wars. A lot of the film is just shot and staged really lazily too. The three-parties-acting-at-once third act thing didn't work in Jedi, and I really dislike how it informed some of the movies that followed. Like, in Phantom Menace there was the lightsaber fight, the Naboo fight and the star war, in Force Awakens there was a similar structure. The constant cutting to Endor kills the tension.

He'll wind up casting Jackman as Boba Fett and the Internet will lose its poo poo when he takes his helmet off because it's destroyed the intrigue of one of Star Wars' "most memorable and mysterious characters" or whatever the gently caress.

Even TFA was a clusterfuck of a production and post-production, considering Abrams and Kennedy were begging to have the movie pushed to May 2016, Iger refused because it had already been delayed once, post-production was frenzied (Nyongo said she had to go in five or six times to record her dialogue because Maz's character kept changing) and Abrams did a near-total re-edit of the whole thing like a month before release. That it feels as polished as it does is a minor miracle. If anything, Last Jedi is the one that went the most smoothly, considering Johnson had the final picture locked in the third week of September.

Ema Nymton posted:No dialogue. No motivation. No screen time. Maul has always seemed to me like just another example of why the prequels were trash. And now, there's all these young folks saying that he's awesome. I guess I'm just too old. Nah, Maul's the same as Boba Fett: He's a plot device with a few lines of dialogue, but because he looks cool, he has this mystique around him.

Kathleen Kennedy has already said, explicitly, that they aren't re-casting Fisher, so if any of that is true it's from when Trevorrow was still working on it.

Yeah, Episode IX is going to open after Leia's death, possibly with her funeral. To think anything else is happening is pure, straight theorycrafting or fanwank. Lucasfilm is not going to recast the most beloved actress of the Original Trilogy and after the backlash they got with the ghoulish appearance in Rogue One, they sure as hell are not taking that path.

Hazo posted:Exactly. Solo didn’t “bomb” no matter how many times people try repeating it. It opened just as well as Rogue One. Rogue One's opening weekend was $155 million. Solo's was $103 million. After four weeks, Rogue One had made $440 million. After four weeks, Solo has made ~$194 million.

Outside of a small pocket of the Internet, I don't think the majority of the moviegoing populace is aware of, or gives a flying gently caress about, the re-shoots. The reasons for Solo's failure are simple: - Terrible release window - Terrible marketing campaign (remember, we didn't see anything, not even a promo photo, until three months before release)

Yeah, I think that art is from when Arndt was still writing the script of TFA, and the movie had a sequence in which people were exploring the ruins of Death Star II, because the Emperor's throne room contained the map with the original Jedi Temple (and hence Luke's location).

thrawn527 posted:Game. The first two games had semi animated cut scenes, but the third and fourth games had full on live action scenes with branching plot lines, and consequences for failed missions (if your wingman died on a mission, they stopped showing up in cut scenes). You could end the game by straight up dooming humanity if you hosed up enough. Yeah, IV is an odd duck, and it's an example of how lovely a project manager Chris Roberts is. He wanted to make movies, not games, so he blew $13 million on building a poo poo-ton of physical sets instead of the CGI ones they used for III, and also insisted on shooting on 35mm film as opposed to digital video. They also turned Tolwyn into Space Hitler, which was a heel turn out of nowhere. The game was also a rush job, with them using basically the same engine from Wing III (which was itself adapted from Wing Commander Armada), because they couldn't afford much development work on it because Roberts pissed all his budget away on the movie portion.

Darth TNT posted:Holy crap at that cast! I've never played any of the wing commander games. I assume you need a joystick for them? You can mouse-and-keyboard them but I really, really would not recommend that. They go for sale on GOG every few months. In addition to the cast members already mentioned, Wing III also has Jason Bernard, John Schuck (Klingon ambassador from Star Trek IV / VI), Tim Curry, Francois Chau, a very young Josh Lucas, and Ginger Lynn Allen. Wing IV adds Richard Riehle, John Spencer, Mark Dacascos (ALLEZ CUISINE!), Chris Mulkey and Robert Rusler, who you might remember from the second season of Babylon 5. They scaled back the budget with Wing Commander Prophecy (there's a part where Hamill's character is kidnapped by the aliens, the player character has a nightmare about him being tortured, and Hamill is just covered in Silly String--I poo poo you not), but Hamill, Wilson, Allen, Peter Jason, Mulkey and maybe one or two other actors from Wing III / IV return, I forget (Prophecy kind of sucks, honestly).
