Star Wars - Part 7

[OptimusPrime114]

I just read the synopsis of "Brothers" and "Revenge".

In "Brothers", Savage Opress meets up with Darth Maul and plans their revenge by attacking the Jedi Temple.

In "Revenge", the duel many have dreamed of: ANAKIN VS. MAUL!

I might wait until this arc is complete before I watch it. That way take in all of the epicness in one viewing

I had it in my sights, my top bid was higher but my computer was running slow and my bid didn't go through........it sold for £132!

Do you think that Chris Pine would've made a good modern-day Luke Skywalker, IF he wasn't involved with Star Trek?

Or, for those who didn't like Hayden Christensen, do you think he would've made a better Anakin?

 

[Hunter Rider]

That's cool t:. Looks like Obi's going to have himself a fun time as a bad guy lol. I get the feeling it might not be fun when he has Anakin after him though haha.

I'm probably a minority, but i dont care for Anakin vs Maul, meh. I would rather have seen him face Kenobi again and seeking revenge. I wonder where Savage is in "Revenge", because they only mention Maul... and we better get ready for a cruel cliffhanger in the season finale lol

Needless to say it's a nod I love! Yeah Anakin is looking to kill the killer of his mentor, I wonder if he will sense it is Obi Wan as Yoda said he would.

I think many want the Anakin vs Maul fight because it is the closest to Maul vs Vader we are going to see.

Funny you should mention this, Pine would be my choice for Anakin Solo in a potential post-ROTJ trilogy. t:

I dunno, i love Chris but for some reason i have a difficult time picturing him dark, so i dunno about him playing Anakin. Say what you want about Hayden, but the guy did exude that cold-hearted darkness very well. Chris would be a better fit for Luke imo.

I've always found Pine similar to a ESB circa Luke.

Thanks. The reason I brought this up is because I'm making a casting call for Star Wars: Heir to the Empire.

Official Vodafone ad featuring Yoda

 

[craigdbfan]

Whoa that chick was totally digging Yoda at the end.

She wanted to "taste" him. A commercial like that would be to risque for the states.

Eh, only adults or teenagers would get that last bit. That could play in the states. I've seen worse here.

[craigdbfan]

I like the first and second one.

 

[Hunter Rider]

So Rex was in ATOC.

I like the first and second one.

The second one is definitely my favourite.

 

[Marvolo]

I don't care how much it would cost, I would've gone with R2.

http://www.**************.com/fansites/FanficTown/news/?a=53287 Hey Can you guys check out my FanFic? It's basically a Bible for a reboot of the prequels

I just watched Plinkett's reviews of the prequels for the first time. Best analysis I've seen of the flaws in those movies. Does anyone else agree with him, not only on the problems with the prequels but on George Lucas as a filmmaker?

Both that and some of the articles on Cracked have made me believe the reason the original trilogy was so much better than the prequels is because in the late 70s Lucas still had other people who could say no to his worst ideas (e.g. C-3PO as a sleazy used car salesman, Han Solo as an alien), whereas by the time of the prequels he had surrounded himself with yes-men. If the OT was more of a collaborative effort, the prequels were all Lucas, and they suffered creatively for it.

Lucas seemed so traumatized by his experience filming A New Hope in Tunisia that by the time he directed a Star Wars film he had domesticated himself. You see footage of him sitting behind the two cameras drinking his coffee, on a set that's nothing but green screen (or blue, whatever). It's not adventurous at all. You lose a lot of the grit that the OT had by filming on real sets and real locations with models instead of having everything CGI. The prequels have a very slick, cartoon-y feel because the actors are basically in an animated world and this alienates the viewer.

The prequels had a lot of very simple editing, using the most basic camera techniques. Two characters will be walking and talking about some dry trade dispute, they'll stop, then you'll have a standard over-the-shoulder shot, then they'll continue walking. It's just very unimaginative. Hearing that the first cut of A New Hope was similarly flat and dull in its editing makes me think Lucas simply isn't a very creative director when it comes to basic filmmaking techniques.

Anakin was supposed to be a fallen hero but he came off as more of a whiny *****e, at least from what we saw in the movies. His reasons for turning the Dark Side were preposterous (to save Padme from dying because he had a dream about it? All of a sudden he's slaughtering children?).

The prequels in general had awful dialogue. People are saying that now about Red Tails, which just confirms this has always been one of Lucas's big weaknesses.
