Crazy Joe Wilson posted:Episode 6 is the best of the OT and no one can change my mind. That space battle above Endor at the end concurrent with Luke and Vader's duel... Amen, brother. The highs are so high that they outweigh the lows. CelticPredator posted:Yeah it’s pretty bad looking. I think the throne room stuff is astounding and has my single favorite shot in the saga (the dolly tracking shot as they duel) but overall just blah. A lot of the live action is not shot very interestingly, but the spaceships are on point from start to finish. My favorite shot in possibly any film of all time is when the Falcon is exiting the power core as it falls, explodes, and then they enter the superstructure. Tickles my brain something fierce.

Horizon Burning posted:Yeah, the battle of endor is packed full of fantastic spaceship shots that still feel they haven't been topped There are a few space battles in the Clone Wars that I thought had really good, dynamic action, but I dont know that I'd say they are "better." It's hard for me to separate the shots themselves from the story, the stakes, the music, and so on, so topping ROTJ is a tall, tall order.

Speaking of games, ever since I played Hyrule Warriors I've thought a Star Wars or specifically Clone Wars musou would have great potential. Playing as a Jedi mowing down thousands of battle droids, etc. It just makes so much sense it's painful that it hasn't happened yet.

Robot Style posted:Using the Rancor as an example, they filmed the puppet at 72 fps to make its movements slow enough to register to an audience as "huge creature", and would have to do something similar for a live-action Snoke - with the big hurdle being, how do you get a good performance out of an actor when they have to do all their lines at 3x speed? The only realistic way around it is to make him CG. This is one thing I really disliked about the Book of Boba Fett, the rancor was much too quick and fast.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:George Lucas is a fuckin' genius for names. Sy Snootles is the elephant man's name?!?!? It's like he plucked that poo poo from the collective unconscious. All his names feel like that. We all laugh but seriously the man knows exactly what to name this stuff. Agreed bigly; most of the post-Lucas names are pale imitations of his style at best.

Gonz posted:BoBF was over as soon as the 8 MPH hover scooter “chase” happened. A lot of the show was kinda boring, but everything with the scooter gang was just so bad. I liked the way they realized Cad Bane, a lot, but it was criminal to waste him on this and then kill him off.

Finally finished Andor. Probably could've been a couple episodes shorter, or more like shave 5 minutes of ponderous inaction off each episode with a little more aggressive editing. But that's the worst I can say about it I think. I loved that they were so committed to the grungy 1970s aesthetic that they even have the score a bit wobbly like the master track has degraded over the last 50 years.

No Dignity posted:I made a bigger post about this in one of the Star Trek threads but I really don't think you can separate Star Trek from the era it was produced in, like Ursula Le Guin said sci-fi is always kind of a commentary of the present. The main reason Star Trek feels more dystopian now is because we live in a dystopian era and it's hard to see a purely optimistic view of the future reflected in the show that wouldn't feel at least a bit bullshit. DS9 only asked if the end of history perfected liberal democratic society presented in TNG was all that, which honestly I think is a question worth asking. Boiling it all down to optimism Noted utopian era, when things were looking bright for the future, the late '60s.

No Mods No Masters posted:I mean okay, so we're changing it to "the jedi should only fight in just wars" and stipulating the clone wars were not just. (That still seems arguable, especially if our standard is the enemy wanting to enslave or annihilate, which the trade federation readily tries to do to naboo in phantom menace.) By the time of the Clone Wars it was already too late for the Jedi. Palpatine had backed them into a lose-lose situation and could work with anything they did. That's his true skill in setting up his schemes.

Mr. Grapes! posted:For my childhood at least the height of all Star Wars was the Jabba sequences. If we're going to make ten billion spinoffs about every loving thing then where is my Jabba prequel? I wanna know how a slug who loves moisture ends up living in the dry sand. I wanna see baby Jabba swimming in a pool full of afterbirth gobbling up his runty siblings. I wanna see people try to grab him and he squirms out of their grip and goes HO HO HO HO. I want Jabba strapped into a ship with cute little goggles on his lumpy gob. If they do actually make it there will be certainly a scene about him acquiring a golden bikini and having it be his life's dream to get someone to wear it. There'll also be a meet-cute with his little monkey-guy. I'll only allow it when they can get both the appearance and voice of Jabba right.

I don't know much about Ubisoft games, but I would never stop playing a Star Wars musou. The Clone Wars seems tailor-made for the genre, you have endless low-level mooks to mow down and all sorts of different tiers from there all the way up to legendary "heroes on both sides."

feetnotes posted:You know what came out the same year as Star Wars? Three’s Company. Saturday Night Fever. We need the bowl cuts and feathered bangs, speed suits and jumpsuits with bell bottoms. Make it disco as hell and filmed on real practical sets that look like the inside of a microwave. Release it in 2027 for the 50th anniversary, boom done star wars is saved. Genuinely appreciated this aspect of Andor, they leaned hard into the '70s aesthetic.

Hook energy in Star Wars is a good fit, I'm 6 episodes into Skeleton Crew and it seems to work. Also Jude Law knows exactly what kind of show he's in.
