Star Wars Megathread

Don't worry no problem at all. I also think in retrospect I should have put it better then 'blah here link', I just needed a vehicle to insert the link in a word for easy 1 click access because sometimes twitter embeds load buggy for different browsers and phones on this forum.

And yes so far the TV side of SW didn't hit any speed bumps yet I'm afraid for the future in that front with so many projects it is inevitable that we will find a fumble (here is looking at you Cassian show, again Solo vibes who asked for this, why are they making it and why did they fire the showrunner that used to do The Americans my only ray of hope in that project).

PS: Solo still makes me shake my head when I randomly see it on cable just because of their choice to light it so poorly.
I'm not exaggerating I always have to mess with my TV settings cause I can't stand that constant murky shade, natural lighting artistic approach my behind, how could no one speak up when they saw the daily footage watch "hey guys how about another spotlight directed at the actors". Reminds me of Alien vs Predator Requiem another 'dark' movie.

Yeah I'm a little worried about the shows too. They pumped the breaks on the movies but it seems like they didn't learn their lesson and they're just coming with one show after another. Not sure the quality control with be up to snuff with so many projects. It's not like they have a Kevin Feige there running things.

Just felt the leads in Solo didn't really have the charisma to carry a movie. I really liked Woody's crew, Thandie Newton is fantastic and I really liked Rio Durant (just found out this was Jon Favreau), unfortunately they lasted probably less than 10 minutes. L3-37 is legitimately my least favorite character in Star Wars bar none. Just made me cringe every time she was on screen. I do love the hell out of Woody and Paul Bettany, but even they couldn't save this one for me.

I liked the actors/characters no problem with them okay maybe that droid no go. Overall I just couldn't buy in on a new Han Solo interpretation. What can you do, they can't all land for me.

Regarding George's vision... he left it open to interpretation & simply said that Luke was distraught over a traumatic event or something like that.

In the movie... it was a combination of obviously the school being burned down by his student & all the people who died and his failure to bring Ben back to the light like his sister tasked him to do. However, it was also the questions the ancient Jedi text left in his mind regarding whether or not the Jedi religion was really all that.

I mean obviously the Sith Religion is fooked... anyone who's not a totally self absorbed fook can see that... but that doesn't necessarily mean that the Jedi religion is the answer. They have their shortcomings as well... & so we find Luke with no religion... & that's a weird place to be.

I'm not saying you need an "already established" religion to feel confident in life, but you at least need a personal religion... & I think Luke found himself questioning everything he's ever known while recognizing the power of the dark side & he just decided to shut it off & have a think about it for a while. Maybe he got a little dramatic about it all & accepted that he was just going to die on Porg-To if necessary... but I think a piece of him knew he would have to rock up at some point. he did leave a map to him ffs if they needed him badly. & so he just let the galaxy be what it is without his participation while he tussled with these big questions.

The point being that he was just confused. He didn't know what to do with all this power he had & he's seen that the power he possesses can turn bad, & even felt it in himself... & so maybe Yoda was right that he was too old to control it when his training started. So he just stopped it & shut it off as best he could.

He was probably also frustrated with being a virgin & that Mara Jade never made canon. :oops:

Thanks! In hindsight, I would like to have seen what George would come up with. However, after the prequels, I wasn't on board for another Lucas and his yes men debacle. Palpatine's story/duplicity is so excellent, just poorly executed!

I'm listening to the Thrawn Trilogy audiobooks, Mara Jade seems wild in bed lol. I'd love to see Sebastian Stan take up the Luke mantle and have them bring in Mara. Olson would be great

An acceptable choice.

I get it, we had words in the past... but nobody wants to listen to us bickering any more, (myself included) so I'm taking the first step & not firing back with insults.



I'm sure that is what Mark was told at Celebration Six, Aug 2012 when he, Carrie & Harrison met with Lucas to discuss their involvement in the sequel... but the writing continued for months after that. LucasFilm was sold October 30, 2012. Mark was not a writer. he had a conversation with George at an early point in production & the writing continued after that.



Point taken that canon applies to the fictional universe... but real world things being presented in those books are considered facts. I guess what you're saying is that there's a possibility Pablo Hidalgo is lying that Lucas' intention was for Luke to die in ep. 8.

What's your take on "Not My Luke" being Lucas' creation?

All these people are saying it.
  • Pablo Hidalgo head of the story group
  • Christian Alzmann The artist who drew Not my Luke...
  • Phil Szostak LucasFilms creative arts manager & Christian's supervisor

All 3 are saying "Not My Luke" came from Lucas... & it was even approved by Disney in Pablo's book. Obviously then since we know Mark talked with Lucas prior to the end of writing... it's pretty clear that Mark's character arc evolved after that conversation.

Haven't responded to this until now because I've been busy, but if the fact you consider Pablo Hidalgo to be a reliable and truthful source is laughable.

As for the rest of your post, perhaps you should watch this video uploaded by Star Wars Theory today that sheds light on George Lucas's vision of what his sequel trilogy would have been. The information in this video comes mainly from The Star Wars Archives Episodes 1-3 1999-2005 by Paul Duncan.

Spoiler : Ep7 wouldn't have taken place extremely long after Ep6, and Luke would have been the focal point in the movie with trying to reform a Jedi Order, not completely absent until the final short like in Disney's Ep7. George was split on having Luke die in Episode 8, 9, or not at all, so he was open to having his mind changed. He was in preproduction of what would have been Ep7 without finalized scripts, only summaries for what he envisioned the three movies should have been. So Disney employees, like Pablo Hidalgo, statements of it being an absolute fact that Lucas planned on Luke to die in Ep8 are disingenuous at best, and at no point did Luke abandon his family, friends, and entire Galaxy to go die on an island planet.

Why was Rogue One not as polarizing as the sequel trilogy? The main character is female and the supporting cast is very diverse and includes Asian actors.

Could it be that Rogue One is just a much more competent Star Wars film?

I don't really recall any controversy or objections to Rogue One on the level that we got with the sequel trilogy even though on the surface they look similar.

Because there was more character development, honored the source material, and was a better story.....


Most OG SW fans I know loved it.
