Discussion The Star Wars Thread

[zinfamous]

I called it that coz I couldn't find any old related thread, which is insane considering the huge number of techies that have watched the movies at least a zillion times with the glee of a five year old eating icecream or munching down on chocolates or brownies.

these forums started about the time the series was forever ruined by the release of episode 1

List of Star Wars television series - Wikipedia

The plot of the anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was originally pitched as an episode of the series.[163] The story of Han winning the Millennium Falcon from Lando was planned to be featured[155] and later developed as Solo: A Star Wars Story.

So one of the best and one of the worst new Star Wars movies from Disney came from what Lucas had set in motion before, and they were just episodes!

Star Wars Galaxy of Sounds (TV Series 2021) ⭐ 6.9 | Sci-Fi

This is 4K TV demo material. Visuals are breathtaking. No dialogue, almost no music. Just authentic ambient sounds from a galaxy far, far away...

So this is the reason Yoda was hiding out on planet Dagobah when Luke found him instead of helping with the resistance:

Star Wars: The REAL Reason Yoda Found Refuge on Dagobah

Star Wars fans may have been introduced to Yoda on Dagobah, but that doesn't mean it was the only time he visited the swamp planet.

I think every time a star turns down a role, a new star is born.

That pile of crap made close to 1B because of rerelease?

The Last Jedi made 1.33 billion and it might have been the worst thing I've ever seen in a movie theatre, right alongside the Wing Commander movie.

 

[igor_kavinski]

I think Wing Commander was worse.

Lucky you. I saw Matrix 2 in the theater. I should have ended it all there, tbh.

If Stellan Skarsgard doesn't get an emmy it will be a complete travesty.

As someone in the comments said, "Star Wars: Abandon All Hope" 😀

People who loudly proclaim TESB is better than ANH really piss me off.

Yeah. It led to the Ewok crap. Minus the good scenes in the rest of the movie, the Ewok thing was just plain lazy writing in Return of the Jedi.

 

[dasherHampton]

I'm not saying TESB is a bad movie. It's great.

But it's the serial stuff that Lucas originally envisioned when he wanted to do Flash Gordon. Anyone can throw shit at the wall and see what sticks (see LOST). He did it well.

But ANH is a self contained masterpiece. That s insanely difficult to create.

 

[mikeymikec]

But ANH is a self contained masterpiece.

Wow, ok. That's a word I would reserve for very few movies, and no Star Wars movie would make such a list for me (as much as I have a soft spot for the franchise despite its many shortcomings and duds).

I'm not looking to get in to an argument with you about it, but I would be curious to know which/some films outside the SW franchise that you would also regard as a masterpiece.
