I wonder if having him meet Mandolorians who take off their helmets (and showing an armorless Boba Fett) was written in so there can be an excuse later on to show Pedro Pascal's face more often in the show.

I enjoyed the episode a lot, and really liked the samurai film homages. Though as someone who's seen the OT dozens of times, but only watched the prequels exactly once when they came out and never watched Clone Wars, season 2 definitely lends itself to fanservice way more than season 1. Other than cultural osmosis I wouldn't know who Ahsoka was, and until looking it up I didn't know who Bo-Katan or Thrawn were, so even though the episode was really cool and a lot of fun, a lot of the references and big reveals are lost on the casual fan. Like I said I enjoyed it, but if they're going to lean hard into the extended cinematic universe, I wish they'd set it up a little better with more in-show exposition or context.

Rochallor posted:Rian Johnson honestly did Disney a massive favor in having Yoda contextualize the whole Star Wars saga as being about failure and learning from your mistakes. It's a wonderful idea from an artistic standpoint, but it also makes it super easy to make the next trilogy start with Rey and Finn and Poe having hosed things up majorly. RoS had to mitigate Carrie Fisher's death while trying to wrap up a 9 movie franchise and another director switch, so I can't fault either director - that's on Disney. They should've filmed all three together, LOTR style. Galaga Galaxian posted:Nah, Bo isn't what I'd call a good person, but I wouldn't consider her "evil" either. She's just driven to do what she thinks is best for Mandalore and will do whatever it takes to see Mandalore prosper. So maybe "Amoral".

For a minute I thought their solution to the Dark Troopers was going to be just airlocking them over and over. Get behind a door, depressurize. Get behind another door, depressurize. The only thing that really weirded me out about Luke is that he didn't blink at all. CG models often have trouble with eyes being too shiny, joints not moving properly with little movements, and subsurface light scattering on the skin. But if someone doesn't blink, they just feel robotic.

Even having the death star plans be a minor plot point in AotC was dumb as gently caress, then actually showing it half constructed at the end of RotS to really set off those member berries - what the hell were they doing in the interim 20 years until A New Hope? Did all the workers go on an extended tea break?

VinylonUnderground posted:The Phantom Menace is the best of the Prequels by far. To the point where it is the only one I'll watch . . . but they all suck rear end. I can't decide whether I dislike the ST or the PT more because they are both just completely awful but in very different ways. The ST is pretty, and has some great moments, but overall it's pretty mediocre. TFA is a so-so rehash, TLJ is flawed but it's gorgeous and has good themes, ROS is an editing mess that I can partially forgive due to the filming circumstances. But I'll take pretty & mediocre over ugly & bad writing/acting any day. [edit] \/\/\/except no lol sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Dec 22, 2020 |

This is something that's stuck with me for a while now, but I swear the main melody in the Mandalorian theme (about 1:10) is a deliberate homage to John Williams' Temple of Doom score. It's different enough to not be a direct ripoff, but I think of Indiana Jones every time the Mando theme kicks in.

VinylonUnderground posted:If she's headlining one of their shows, which seems likely, then yeah. No poo poo. The company is on her side because they want the show to be a success. It's the equivalent of Rock Hudson and Ramon Navarro being real men's men with a softer side. As a studio, you get out ahead of that so when photos emerge it's, "Here is a photo of Rock Hudson, a longtime practitioner of FKK, a German exercise tradition that has found some adherents in LA, practicing stretches with his trainer" My point is that they didn't need to focus on her as much as they did if their intent was "See, she's not all bad!" If you've already made up your mind, spending that much time on her is a glaringly obvious and shoehorned face-saving tactic. Like they didn't even have a Giancarlo Esposito interview segment - they just had a couple people talk about him for half a minute - and he's the cast member I'd be most interested in hearing from.

So many people grabbed the free Battlefront 2 that it crashed EA's servers  Arquinsiel posted:At least in the game it kind of implies that you managed to avoid noticing any of the bad stuff in the Empire, so you can at least plead sheltered cluelessness. In the supporting novels it's made clear that Inferno Squad know exactly what their job is. I'm actually pretty surprised at how good the Luke and Leia voices are. Matt Mercer does a good Hamill impression, but Misty Lee does a really good Carrie Fisher.

Luke's direction made sense to me. He was a beacon of hope for years, but the ethos he followed failed him, so he became a hermit just like Obi-Wan and Yoda, who also realized it was better to fade into obscurity instead of constantly being pigeonholed into this perfect savior that the legends make you out to be. We don't usually get to see big epic heroes living through the aftermath of the repercussions from their actions like toppling an empire; they just get a "happily ever after". Frodo got his, Harry Potter got his, but Rian Johnson knows heroes are more complex than straight up good vs evil. The only problem is, Star Wars isn't more complex than that. If TLJ wasn't smack in the middle of a blockbuster popcorn trilogy, he easily could've made an awesome and beloved standalone film in the same universe.

Has George Lucas or anyone else close to the design team ever talked about the colors of blasters vs lightsabers? It always seemed weird to me that blasters were always an unconventional "red = good / green = evil", but with lightsabers it's always "red = evil" and the main good guy has a green one while the rest vary.

Epi Lepi posted:I feel like you’re getting worked up over a lot of assumptions in when each show is filming and what you think will happen with the focus of Mando. Yeah, gone are the days where the biggest shows on TV are network shows with 24 episode seasons that film year-round and air the same time every year. Streaming shows with 8-12 episode seasons that can be filmed all at once and air 16 months apart don't monopolize actors' schedules nearly as much. A lot of them even schedule to film around each other, both for actor availability and so they're not directly competing for subscriptions and views at the same time.

I wonder if they'll pull/edit the making of season 2 special, since it was clearly going out of its way to mitigate the anti-Carano sentiment by focusing a lot on her positives, to the point where they glossed over several other cast members.
