Looks like the kind of Star Wars movie I want. Sort of.

More war movie, less kids movie.

I am probably dreaming, Disney will keep it simple.

Quote from: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/aug/13/kenny-baker-r2-d2-dies-star-wars

The British actor who played R2-D2 in the Star Wars films has died at the age of 83 after a long illness.

Kenny Baker, who was 3ft 8in tall, shot to fame in 1977 when he first played the robot character.

He went on to play the character in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, as well as the three Star Wars prequels from 1999 to 2005.

Baker also appeared in a number of other much-loved films in the 1980s, including The Elephant Man, Time Bandits and Flash Gordon.

His niece, Abigail Shield, paid tribute to her uncle. She told the Guardian: “It was expected, but it’s sad nonetheless. He had a very long and fulfilled life. He brought lots of happiness to people and we’ll be celebrating the fact that he was well loved throughout the world. We’re all very proud of what he achieved in his lifetime.”

I dunno about this. The fact that the first non-main movie is based on a throwaway line of dialogue doesn't instill a lot of confidence. Like hey, let's get an indie director so we don't have to pay them anything, but still tether them to a piece of minutiae from the OG flicks instead of letting them come up with something original.

chronovore · « **Reply #1343 on:** August 13, 2016, 08:08:24 PM »

Oddly, that's all the stuff that makes me excited for it. The original trilogy was full of simple throwaway lines that made everything seem huge, the setting felt alive with its own history, a lens through which we glimpsed the current goings-on of those movies. Most of my head canon is from those little, unexplained notes. Clearly they inspire other people similarly.

I gotta admit I feel kind of the same way. The Clone Wars that we got, which came from a throwaway set of lines in the first movie, were nothing like what I imagined all those years.

It says a lot about the Prequels that the romance that GL tried so hard to establish and flesh out [Padme/Anakin] is so unbelievable that people have to make up an alternate relationship [Padma/Obiwan], that is thoroughly unsupported, in order for the movies to not be total garbage.

But they're still total garbage.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #1356 on:** September 21, 2016, 06:26:55 PM »

If you proposed the idea to me in one sentence I'd say ok yea that could have been interesting in the right hands. However because you proposed the idea to me with that shitty video I have to judge you now.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

the standard/pre-internet use of the word "toxic" in the video kinda made me giggle. I think that word has been ruined in my brain forever

It's a lot closer to the original Ralph McQuarrie art than what ended up in the movie.

One of my good friends is a Buddhist monk; he is down from Tokyo right now, and over dinner last night we started talking about Star Wars, and how much we enjoyed the original trilogy, and how dissatisfying the prequels were. (He was stunned to find out that I enjoyed Episode VII.)

We started talking about stuff that didn't make sense, including why Obi-Wan is hiding on Tatooine in what the Prequels later showed to be standard Jedi uniform. I pointed out, "That'd be like if you were on the run, hiding because you're a monk, but still wearing your monk clothes."

Then he said, "Actually, I'm a Jedi."

Good times.

I'm re-watching REBELS and eventually going to get up to s3 by the time it comes down in price. I like the show, though it's definitely targeted at kids (as opposed to Pixar movies, which don't leave adults behind).

Anyway, I liked this:
