So the vespa gang of misfits with inspector gadget gizmos should have been a rabble of dirty, dingy gear-head youths with cobbled together speeder choppers. They should have been introduced in background establishing shots of Mos Espa in Episode 1 or 2 and shown to be trouble makers and generally up to no good. This would help to establish a sense that Mos Espa has become somewhat lawless and less safe following Jabba's demise and introduce us to these punks ahead of time.

Jerkface posted:They really need to do something with Fennec and Boba, theyre both being played really taciturn even in private - they should have some arguments or something. Or delve into when Boba found her. They need to do something with Fennec at all because so far it's only been Boba, his daily constitutional down main street in Mos Espa, and then back to the REMEMBER WHEN tank for the rest of the episode.

It doesn't jive with the diversity/inclusion objectives that Disney have set out for the wider brand, mmmkay? https://screenrant.com/star-wars-boba-fett-ship-name-not-slave1-reason/ I suspect that Boba will actually rename it the Respectful Rancor by the end of the series.

LividLiquid posted:Why don't you go ahead and tell me why reminding people still very much affected by the act of slavery about it in the most kid-friendly franchise of all time is essential to the experience. From the article... quote:In the original interview with JediNews, however, Frederiksen claims that Slave I is a name "Disney doesn't want to use anymore," which suggests a wider-reaching directive. Although Disney hasn't officially explained the decision (or even confirmed such a decision has been made), the shift could be due to negative connotations of the word "Slave." Compared to 1980 when Slave I first roared into theaters, the world is far more attuned to racial issues, and the world "slave" is, understandably, not used as casually in fictional media. Despite the acquisition of action-based franchises such as Star Wars and Marvel, Disney remains a family-friendly company, traditionally eschewing any potential for controversy or offence - more so than another studio might. This likely played at least some part in Slave I being renamed "Boba Fett's Starship." The name change on Boba's ship seemed relevant to the overall conversation about Disney's influence on the franchise and the quality of the show. I'm not like... supporting actual slavery though. My roommate put it best when he said this iteration of Star Wars feels thoroughly "PG" by contemporary standards while the Original Trilogy had an edgier 1980's definition of "PG" with creature horror, etc.

Morrow posted:TLJ is the only sequel that attempted to do something beyond commercialize nostalgia and I'll forgive it any sins for the Luke vs Kylo fight alone. My favorite part of TLJ is when the heroes leave the epic space chase because it's getting boring so they go have a side adventure on casino world where they run into Benico Del Toro and he tells them that, actually, the military industrial complex and the one percent have been behind everything all along. Then everyone learns a special lesson about how alien horse dog racing is morally wrong. Then they return to the movie for a battle on not-hoth. It's truly visionary.

nine-gear crow posted:This is why Luke vs the Dubstep bots at the end of Mando Season 2 felt so weird to me. It came across as another personal hand written apology to all the people who didn’t understand what the Luke/Kylo fight was supposed to be doing and got mad about it. I feel like the same people that decided to add the Vader hallway smash to the end of Rogue One are the ones that wanted this scene. They did all of this build up with the killbots only to have our main characters sit in a room and watch grainy parking lot CCTV footage of Luke's stunt double hacking them apart and it felt like it went on for ten minutes. Lightsaber pew pew action is cool when done correctly but nobody wants ten minutes of drum solo.

Anita Dickinme posted:If Disney hadn't decided that Luke needed to die for some reason and just made him the protagonist in episodes 8&9 I would have been so much happier but uh, for some reason I guess we weren't allowed to have our childhood hero be the hero. Luke and Han did not fit into Disney's greater Star Wars vision. Disney has carefully and meticulously discerned that a Star War can be boiled down to these essential and immortal ingredients: The Millennium Falcon, a guy in the Chewie suit riding shotgun, R2-D2 in a non-speaking role in the background, and a fresh faced young up-and-comer at the controls. Rinse and repeat until the heat death of the universe. I think the reception of the sequels has caused them to shift gears somewhat which I'm really happy about. Honestly, I would love if they just pulled the trigger and re-cast Han, Luke, and Leia and wove them into the Disney+ TV shows. Penitent fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Jan 29, 2022 |

Stabbed and left for dead, she finds Organa's message - at this point Vader is on his shuttle heading to pick up the chase on the Star Destroyer. Then she has to find a ship in this abandoned planet, crawl aboard, fly to Tatooine, land etc - and the chase between the Pathers and the Star Destroyer is still going on; have they really been evading Vader for multiple hours? I thought maybe they were doing some slipped timeline stuff, but nope. The whole show made flying between places feel like a short car ride and it made the Universe feel very small and cramped.

Love Rat posted:I hate the utter willingness to just destroy the republic again for story purposes. It's like, great, you basically undid everything the rebel alliance was supposed to achieve, all in the name of going BIGGER and BADDER. You thought the death star was bad? Now we got one laser that can destroy all the core worlds. You thought the empire was bad? Check out this fleet of a million star destroyers, each capable of destroying planets. That whole escalation approach to this stuff is just inane. They could have created drama and action around smaller scale stuff and made it work. But no, let's retread everything but BIGGER. The prequels are inept at best, and yet still much better than that goofy poo poo. And like, destroyed it off screen as well between films... all because their writers can only envision Star Wars as bad triangle ships chasing underdog scrappy heroes in x-shaped ships. It was like someone fed all of Star Wars into a machine learning algorithm and had it regurgitate a script.

Cheesus posted:Given that Lucas claims that he only would have used Han, Leia, and Luke in somewhat more than cameos and what Disney decided to release as the sequel trilogy, I daresay Lucasfilm could still use those treatments to tell a great story, possibly even with the sequel trilogy principal actors (if they were so inclined). Don't even call it episodes 10, 11,12. Luthen is too good for the sequel era. I'm so tired. I just want to stay here with Andor. Why can't we just stay here and be happy? No more space wizzards, no more laser swords, no more death balls.

My big fear is that making Luthen's identity meaningful at all will lead to a dumb reveal like... he's Sheev's brother, he's a jedi, etc. His character is fine without us needed a backstory. Ratjaculation posted:Rouge One's final act nips it imo My only criticism about this battle is the way it's structured and directed. The battle of Endor felt like a furball the entire time with Wedge, Lando, and Ackbar developing tactics and strategy to unfolding events in real-time. All of the ships were in motion at all times and it felt like an evolving, moving frantic battle. The battle of Skarif felt weirdly like a CCG round between two static players. Rebels cast X-Wings - some x-wings appear and go fly into the shield. Imperials cast Tie-Fighters - Tie-Fighters appear and start attacking the stationary Rebel ships. Rebels cast Y-Wings and Y-Wing Bombers appear and disable a Star Destroyer. Rebels follow up with Ramming Speed! A hammerhead corvette appears (kinda out of nowhere) and rams the Star Destroyer.

Feels kinda frustrating that despite all of the care, scheming, and sacrifice that Luthen, Mon, and co do to get the Rebellion off the ground, it will come down to Tatooine farm boy, rando smuggler guy, and retired space wizard intercepting the death star planes by happenstance with a little dash of space magic at the 11th hour to actually seal the deal. ... and then they get a giant celebration medal ceremony.

Wait, was Sabine being detained and having her personal rights curtailed by doofus New Republic space cops because she didn't go to some ceremony? Feels like the New Republic is more fascist than the Empire tbh. Also, Sabine sliding underneath the E-Wing on her speeder bike would probably have been a lot more cool if it wasn't telegraphed for almost a full minute of the E-Wings pilots back and forth dialogue and the dreamworks smirk on her face: "Commander, stand down!" "What is she doing?" "Commander, stand down" "Is she going to stop? She isn't one of those young and headstrong, march-to-the-beat-of-their-own-drum types is she??" "Sabine!" "She's crazy!"

After Sheev/Napoleon lost the first time, the restored monarchy just wanted to go back to the way things were and were helpless during the 100 days/triumph of the first order. It took a savior (Wellington/Lando) to actually end Napoleon/Sheev before said savior left the second republic again Doesn't Disney's decision to write-off the New Republic as incompetent and easily toppled by the time the sequels roll around just undermine the drama of the original trilogy era? It is hard to get excited about the efforts of the fledgling Rebellion when I know that the Republic they are fighting to restore is going to end up being shown as hilariously unstable and incompetent in every single appearance until they are unceremoniously wiped out between sequel films.

Did the First/Final Order actually like... administrate the galaxy though? Sheev seemed to woo Kylo Ren with the promise of a fleet he could use to pacify the galaxy and ensure his rule. I got the impression that the First Order were just a very fascist looking bicycle gang bullying everyone in their little corner of the galaxy when they weren't throwing stones and one-shotting the New Republic's capital.
