All Things Star Wars Thread (Spoilers)

Yeah who TF asked for a young Han Solo movie?

I don't mind the idea, but casting young Harrison Ford was a tall task, and I'm not sure I feel confident with the guy they picked. I'm sure costume and makeup will make it seem "okay," but it's just a leap to go to a different actor and it kind of turns me off knowing it's NOT Harrison Ford. I know that wasn't possible, duh, but still... just won't live up to source for me because of how perfect Harrison Ford was.

The rest of the cast has me excited. Can't go wrong with Emilia Clarke or Donald Glover.

Also curious as to how/when Chewie gets thrown into the mix... mid-movie? Post-credits?

Also, Paul Bettany is a boss.

Emilia Clarke is a trash actress. You know there won't be any bewbs in this movie, right?

Donald Glover as Lando is perfect.

She's not there to act, she's there to have pretty eyes and make me rewatch season one of GoT.

I hope for three things:

Han makes the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs,
they address how Han and Chewie hook up (life debt)
and
how Han wins the Falcon from Lando (beating him at Sabbacc).

That brings up an interesting question... how did the word spread about that event? After Luke saves the day, the Resistance hits hyperspace in the Millenium Falcon. Were they beaming out transmissions of what happened? And if so, how do the slave kids hear about it?

That could have been a year later for all we know.

FASCINATING theory on the Holdo hyperspace jump. What if she didn't actually crash the Raddus. She jump to hyperspace and is now somewhere safe. The thing that rekt the Supremacy was the lightsaber explosion in Snoke's throne room.

Then Rey and Kylo would be 100% dead

Please God no. We don't need her in the next movie.

Not necessarily. The saber could have exploded in a straight line or even a two dimensional plane between Rey and Kylo. It's unlikely that a kyber crystal would explode in a sphere.

I think we would have noticed the destruction in the scene where Kylo chokes Hux

Screw hyperspace physicists on here, we got ourselves a real life kyber crystal physicist in the house!

Rogue One was excellent and all haters of it can kindly go die in a fire. Amazing set pieces, convincing storytelling.

It had pacing issues in the beginning and a few too many Easter Eggs but it has been, by far, the best Disney Star Wars movie.

A+: The Empire Strikes Back
A: A New Hope
A-:
B+: Return of the Jedi, Rogue One
B:
B-: The Force Awakens
C+:
C: The Last Jedi
C-:
D+: Phantom Menace, Return of the Sith
D:
D-:
Kill Lucas: Attack of the Clones

In ROTJ, if the Ewoks were Wookies it'd be believable that they could take on an entire legion of the Emperor's best men, the cheese factor would be gone, and it'd be an A movie.

If Rogue One made people care about the protagonists a bit more, it'd be an A movie.

If the Force Awakens was an original movie, who the hell knows.

I love this (partially related)

 

[Buster Bluth]

Do you guys think it'd be possible, since Jar-Jar is CGI, to change his clownish appearance and (racist) voice? If Jar-Jar could be fixed that's really not a terrible movie. The world building is A+, Anakin is still bad but not enough to ruin it.

Do you guys think it'd be possible, since 100% of Attack of the Clones is CGI, to have a do-over? lol

They could change him and all of the Gungans to literally any generic, boring alien race with normal voices (or have them speak their native language and use subtitles!), and that movie would be 100x better automatically.

 

[IrishLion]

Also, had no idea that Death Star 2 was so much bigger than Death Star. Where the fuck have I been?

It was never explained in the movie so again bad writing and lazy... lol

Ha, I figured it had been mentioned in ROTJ and I just missed it.

I've heard that the best version of the prequels is the Vietnamese dubs that someone took and changed all of the English subtitles. Basically rewrote the entire trilogy.

 

[Buster Bluth]

I guess I'm just saying The Phantom Menace is salvageable. Hear that Wiz, tell your Disney bosses to rework it for a re-release and collect a free billion dollars.

Kill Lucas: Attack of the Clones

Speaking of...

Here's a short documentary called "How Star Wars Was Saved in the Edit":

Helps illustrate how it was Lucas' supporting cast that reined him in and made the original trilogy such a classic. He didn't have those people holding him accountable for the prequels, which is why they're complete garbage.

Agreed. It’s firmly in the top 3, with ESB and ANH. And the score, especially during the climb in the data tower on Scariff.... goosebumps
