Making Jar Jar and the Trade Federation guys speak in alien languages makes such a huge difference, it's not even funny.

Well he was a funnier character than we've ever had before.

Hey speaking of which, in an actual canon but similar situation, why the shit did Rey know Shyriiwook?

Because of well funded public schools that put emphasis on inspiring girls that they could speak anything.

Was bored so I watched this last night. I had heard about it for awhile but not bothered until now. I remember watching the The Phantom Edit and a few other fan edits back when that stuff was originally in fashion for this movie. I remember not really liking them so much because despite their best intentions, the editing often left the movie feeling poorly paced and confusing even relative to the poorly paced and confusing original.

Despite the silly title I actually think this is probably the best cut of the film I've seen. I only originally intended to watch a few minutes of it but found myself interested enough to finish it. Obviously you can't fix the original sins that plague the movie. But you can create a path that removes some of the meandering and outright stupid random elements of the film. And this does a decent job of it.

I guess there is another cut that is also popular among the circle of fans of these things that I'll watch in a few years, the next time I'm curious.

Also this one.

Didn't watch this, but when that Ep. 1 Always Sunny video was posted I was mostly reminded of just how good Liam Neeson was in the couple lines of his that were in it. Crazy how much he rose above the part. Only Ewan McGregor by Ep.3 managed to do the same.

Saw this again today. Liked it as much or more than the first time. I didn't find the nostalgia bombs as distracting this time. Han's freighter is still stupid and ugly. Adam Driver is less ugly than I remembered. Pretty much everything flowed better than before, except R2D2.

are there any good fan edits of star wars 2 or 3? There is a nice lil thing in 2 with obi wan being a noir detective, but it's not really meaty enough to sustain itself probably, but maybe some enterprising diehard could make something out of it? I can't really remember anything nice in 3 but lots of people seem to believe it is the best of the bad ones, so maybe there is something to salvage there as well?

I haven't seen any of the episode 2 or 3 edits outside of the ones way back when but everything I mentioned in my original post has fan edits for 2 and 3.

Both seem well received by the community that are fans of these things. You just have to do a little internet searching to find them.

The anti-cheese edit versions are also up on youtube.

I also agree with you about the obi-wan detective bit. That was honestly the only part that struck me as remotely interesting and suspenseful from any of the movies when I watched the prequels originally.

Probably Luke already has a feeling that it's his daughter and will spend half of episode 8 trying to figure out a soft way to break it to her. He didn't have that privilege as Vader probably knew immediately that Luke Skywalker was his son.

Which is one of those really weird things that bothers me, why didn't "Ben" try to make up any new last names when he and Luke went to live on dusty old Tat? Leia just had all the luck.

Yeah, that sequence was exciting right up until it proves itself meaningless when the Jedi show up using the clone army which had been the entire point of Obi-Wan's investigation.

Not the worst aspect of Episode 2, but probably the dumbest. Don't think I've ever seen a movie whiplash so hard like that before, completely rendering pointless a huge chunk of its own run time.

Holidays seem more lucrative so it makes sense. Nonstop advertising during multiple major sporting events, holiday ad tie ins, lots of people off work or school, etc.

Agreed. The Nice-Guy-Anakin creepfest is the worst aspect. It's painful to watch.

"I'd recognize Chewbacca anywhere!"

I can't wait for Plinkett's take on TFA. I thought I had watched all the Plinkett prequel reviews, but I hadn't watched the one for Revenge of the Sith until a couple nights ago. Nothing is as on-point as his takedown of Phantom Menace, but it is still full of luscious and well directed vitriol.

This is the "review" -- They're going to do a Mr. Plinkett takedown, which was hinted at in recent Red Letter Media efforts, where Plinkett comes out of a coma and finds out TFA has launched. I can't find the video, but he ends up seeing the poster in his restroom after taking an explosive piss.

Re-shoots can be handwaved away but a new director is harder to ignore. The movie could still be fine, but at the very least it's more smoke from the kitchen.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #1309 on:** June 08, 2016, 12:21:59 PM »

The guy mentioned in that article, Tony Gilroy, previously worked with Gareth Edwards doing some last minute tweaks on Godzilla, so it seems more likely that he's being brought in to help out rather than take over. But there's a lot of rumors floating around right now, often contradictory, so it's hard to say for sure how big the problem is, or whether there's even really a problem at all.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #1310 on:** June 08, 2016, 12:30:28 PM »

Even if it does suck it won't kill off the franchise or even the side stories. Too bad their isn't a way for Hollywood to actually delay movies by a quarter or two - think it would lead to much more polished products.
