I know this isn't exactly the right thread for it, but the only thing that Disney has in the works TV-wise from the Lucasfilm IP catalog that I'm looking forward to is the Willow TV show. That was a cool, goofy universe, and I'm glad that Warwick Davis is involved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGr9eD1Y4OQ

nine-gear crow posted:My disappointment is palpable that Disney didn't have the balls to just make an adaptation of Shadow Moon: The Sequel to Willow: The Novel co-written by George Lucas himself. Yeah, the Chris Claremont trilogy is kind of weird. When I found out he was the guy who wrote X-Men's Days of Future Past a lot of the things in that trilogy started to add up.

If you're feeling down right now might I suggest "An Idiot Abroad Season 3" starring our friend who may be short in stature but large on life. Life's Too Short is pretty incredible as well, even if it does have the stink of Ricky Gervais in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjGL-8qzJUA

Still, thank you for introducing me to some TV I've never seen before! Yeah, Ricky and Stephen Merchant are both in it playing themselves. There's a lot of them in it if you're done with them. However, here is a clip that is just Warwick and his idiot assistant installing and disposing of a washing machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTxL-7atnGE

Imagine that Leia chase scene, but instead of having medium sized humanoids chasing her she's fleeing an Ugnaught, a Jawa, an Ewok, and Yoda's mobbed up second cousin Yuigi.

My Top 5 Star Wars Moments: 1) Battle of Endor (all of the storylines) 2) Death Star trench run 3) Battle of Coruscant 4) Rescuing Princess Leia from Prison 5) Escaping Jabba's Clutches If I had more space, I'd include: 6) Maul vs. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan 7) The Pod Race 8) Battle of Geonosis 9) Battle of Hoth 10) Anakin and Padme in the Geonosian factory

Uh, NO! The Battle of Endor has three action storylines interwoven together: Lando & Co. fighting in space, Luke versus Vader, and the Gang fighting on the planet surface. Each part is perfectly scored by Williams, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. It's the last act, which means that any of the heroes might sacrifice themselves for victory.

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to the Disney edits of the classic trilogy where a CGI Princess Leia sends a new message to Kenobi that starts off with, "Remember those times you rescued me from getting kidnapped and told me never to let it happen again? Well, about that..."

tsob posted:Didn't the prequels also use a lot of the musical suite as a leitmotif to create similar musical themes that'd call the original trilogies music to mind, while being a little different? I wouldn't think that's really any different. The Imperial March is embedded in Anakin's theme, just like the Emperor's theme is embedded in the final celebration theme (it sounds very different because it's in a major key).

There was once one Babu Frik. That Babu Frik got bisected by a vibrosword. Rather than drop dead, Babu regenerated. Much like a flatworm, each half regrew into a new Babu Frik. This is how Babu Frik transformed from a person into a species.

No Mods No Masters posted:Having bad instincts about who could be recruited into the resistance still seems a few orders of magnitude off of the other three. There are also no particular consequences to her mistake, in a way it's just upside since it gets the much more competent snoke killed and it makes her present to save everyone afterwards (though I think the lack of consequences is also a problem finn's failure has). Anyway if failure is the greatest teacher, as yoda says to the camera, rey's education seems borderline nonexistent  Take Luke's failures and the consequences he faces. Luke gets his rear end kicked up and down the OT. First, he is constantly getting owned by Uncle Owen. Can't even get those power converters. Next, he gets beat up by the Tusken Raiders and needs Obi-Wan to save him. Then he nearly gets killed in Mos Eisley's tavern because he's not careful enough. Chewie almost rips his head off when he tries to put the binders on him in order to rescue Princess Leia. He nearly goes down in a blaze of glory until Leia shoots open the garbage shoot to get them an escape route. Then he nearly gets eaten by a trash monster. He stands by helplessly as Darth Vader cuts down the last person he knew who had a connection to him. He almost gets shot down several times before managing to blow up the Death Star. In TESB, he gets punked by a wampa and nearly eaten. He nearly freezes to death until Han rescues him. He gets shot down during the Battle of Hoth. He gets clowned on by Yoda, and fails most of his training (from lifting the X-Wing to entering the cave). He runs off to Bespin and fails to save his friends. Instead, he gets his rear end kicked by Darth Vader, losing his hand and his lightsaber in the process. He nearly falls out of Bespin until Leia and Lando grab him. In ROTJ, he fails to convince Jabba to let Han go. Joining his friends in the "lets blow up the shield generator" mission lets Darth Vader know he's there. He gets caught in the Ewok trap along with the rest of the gang. He first fails to convince Vader to abandon the Dark Side. He fails to stop the Emperor, nearly kills his own father and turns to the Dark Side himself, and then gets caught by surprise by Palpatine's sparklefingers. He survives only because Darth Vader, seeing his son getting tortured by the person who turned him from the heroic Anakin Skywalker into the monster he has become, snaps out of it and throws Palpatine down a massive shaft*. Despite all of Luke's failures he perseveres throughout the trilogy because he cares. He cares about his family, and he cares about his friends. That's what I have always loved about Luke Skywalker. He's not cool or suave. He's a hero who cares, who believes in the good of people and brings that good out in them. That's what happens with Han Solo, who throws away his chance at paying off Jabba to do the right thing. That's what happens with Yoda, who has all but given up hope in stopping Darth Vader and the Emperor. That's what happens with Anakin Skywalker, who after decades of doing evil and reprehensible things, does one final act of good before he dies. I think that's a beautiful message, and I've probably made this effortpost before. However, I'm doing it again because I care. It is a stupid thing I care about, but I am a very stupid goon. *Palpatine doesn't die, of course, continuing the proud Skywalker tradition of failing at things.

That DICK! posted:i just don't think carrie fischer had it in her to deliver at the level they needed for that to work (and god bless her, drugs rule, not giving a poo poo rules, star wars is stupid, she made all the right moves) and their failure to adjust to that fact, even after she died, was a big problem for the ST. the shoehorning of leia into the kenobi series feels like a pretty blatant attempt to get "the IP" back on track. The Obi-Wan show was a mistake. I appreciate that it redeems Hayden Christensen, it's just dumb. That being said, a Young Leia show where she's helping Bail Organa set up the Rebel Alliance (kind of like her Rebels cameos) would be pretty awesome where she clashes with arrogant Moffs while collecting information to pass along to the Rebels.

Just Chamber posted:Yea she's the dullest character in the ST, propped up by a good performance by Daisy Ridley and great performances by the supporting cast. I think there's very little interest in the continuing adventures of Rey. Something always irked me about Rey and Daisy Ridley, and I finally realized why after watching Deep Blue Sea. She looks like Saffron Burrows.   Why should that matter? Well, Saffron Burrows was ALSO in Wing Commander!  And I loving HATED her character (and that movie) and the whole "THE PILOT WHO DIED DOESN'T EXIST!!!" thing that was her squadron's mantra. It's an irrational connection, and once I recognized it then that "irk" went away. It's not Ridley's fault that Croberts made the shittiest movie I ever paid good money to see in the theater.

Why does Poe Dameron go from being one of Leia's most trusted pilots, who she sent out to make contact with Max von Sydow in their search for Luke Skywalker, suddenly transform into an unreliable hothead in the only Star Wars movie that takes place immediately after the previous one?

Jerkface posted:Poe's whole thing is like: a hot, dumb himbo that is really good at killing stuff in a space ship. He is like that in the comics that run up to TFA, and he is basically like that in TFA. Sure he blows up starkiller base and the resistance ultimately gets the map key but most of the rebel pilots die, han dies, max von sydow dies, the republic blows up, etc. The whole himbo thing is starting to become a tired trope.
