Timby posted: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. Hey! I watched the RLM reviews too!

BarronsArtGallery posted:Chewie won't die yet. He can be in the fourth trilogy whenever that happens. Disney isn't going to let that one go. Comically, if you remember the Star Wars resurgence in the 90's with the special edition. All of the marketing was of characters that wore masks or were puppets, Yoda, Vader, Stormtroopers. Almost never saw Luke/Leia/Han on a can of Pepsi or a BK commemorative cup. Likely because GL didn't want to pay any money to the actors for their likenesses.

thrawn527 posted:They wouldn't have had to pay them poo poo. GL owned their likenesses (for the age the movies were made) and could use them on whatever he wanted. Carrie Fisher told stories about it. I always wondered why the VHS:  had Yoda, Stormie, and Vader, and not the main characters. I assumed it was rights, but I guess not.

Szmitten posted:The most interesting suggestion I heard about a Boba Fett movie was to actually have other characters be the protagonists, but they're being hunted by Fett. So you have this Terminator/Predator-esque chase movie instead of actually giving him character and robbing the mystique. Come on, like they'd make a movie about Fett with any nuance.

Wheat Loaf posted:There are probably still people who are furious that we've lost the EU backstory about Han possibly being an heir to the throne of Corellia, aren't there? Is this from the Courtship of Princess Leia? I don't remember all of it but some highlights are that Solo steals a mind control gun and kidnaps Leia so she won't marry a prince from a previously unknown planet. The price, like most of the self insert EU author characters is way cool, he has a belt buckle sheild that is better than a lightsaber and in my mind I always pictured him looking like He-man, furry underwear and bare chested. He was cooler than Luke and Han had to complete with his affection for Leia, barely winning because Price Alien He-man was a massive charming rich beefcake. Oh, EU, never change.

thrawn527 posted:No, they came out and said they had changed that, and that both parts would "stand on their own". This was before Infinity War actually came out and we found out that's not loving true at all. It was done in an attempt to fool you into thinking it was a whole movie, and not just another half our move with a two hour trailer for the next movie.

Basically the ST is like if there was a Seinfeld reunion but in the episode you learn that Jerry went to mediocrity and do a couple stupid B-Movies, some poorly received TV shows, George vanishes but when he does he has a headful of hair and quickly vanishes again, Kramer turns out to be a massive racist, and Elaine has numerous missteps but then fifteen years later finds her footing.

The best part of the EU is how each author would invent their own characters, and they'd be super awesome in their books, but then the next author would come and bring in their own and be like no Corran Horn is cooler than Kyle Katarn. NO! Crix Madine is the best NOOOOOO Jacen is Dune like God emperor All culminating in this:  I'm just so sick of all these Star Wars

Wheat Loaf posted:Crix Madine was from Return of the Jedi; he's the Rebel general who explains that they've stolen the Imperial shuttle, and scenes were shot where he's commanding the Rebel fleet at Endor in case the Admiral Ackbar costume didn't work. He was actually the first movie character who was officially, permanently killed off in the EU. I know, but he's basically not a character in the movies. He becomes a super perfect everything and then he dies.

The issue I have with the new trilogy is that the main characters already when through a character arc, and their stories are done, but turns out though that right after the events of ROTJ: 1) Leia formed a new government, it failed, and now she's sad 2) Han got married, had a family, it failed and now he's sad 3) Luke formed a new Jedi Academy, it failed, and now he's sad. Basically the ST is this guy in movie format

The problem with that fight is that it's two people that no one cares about that have just killed a meaningless villain we don't know and then are fighting faceless drones that weren't introduced at all, and we'll never see again. It's basically a fan trailer on Youtube.

I'll never for the life of me understand why people will defend movies and get all butt hurt about box office totals. Right now, at this exact moment, our planet is literally dying, there's real poo poo to worry about, but people have to run up a hill to defend the bottom lines of media conglomerates that don't give one rats rear end about you. Bob Iger doesn't check twitter to see how your performance review went at work or if you got that bonus. It truly does not matter. I can't fathom getting pissed because someone dares besmirch a multi-national conglomerate that I've chosen identify with, especially one founded by an actual racist, that that has done tremendous harm to our culture and repressed nearly a century of artistic expression and knowledge through strong armed copyright lobbying. I just don't get it. But here I am posting in a star wars thread, jokes on me I guess.

They killed off Chewie in the books because he's a character that doesn't actually speak and has almost no other defining character traits besides he's big. He must have been awful to write for. Especially in thousands of books.
