So here's the thing. While this is usually true, unfortunately often times the studios come between an artist and his/her vision. Probably the biggest example to this would be the Snyder Cut. I doesn't matter what your opinion on those movies are, the fact is that Justice League was significantly changed (partly due to Zach having to step away, mostly due to WB wanting something different). The same goes for Suicide Squad, only this time it was all WB. Of course both of those examples happen to be from WB and not Disney, but the concept is the same. Disney could have stepped in and told Filoni what to do. I find that unlikely, and I'm definitely not saying that that is what happened, but it is a possibility.
Alright, back to your arguing.
It's funny you should say this. I just watch a mini-vid on YT last of George explaining why he did SW the way he did it. He made damn sure that he was making HIS movies, not what some bean counting dick-tator studio said was how to follow a formula to "make a successful movie". As a result, the OT is timeless. There are a couple of rough edges that brand ANH as "made in the 70s", but the other 2 stand up even by today's movie standards. It didn't rely on popular gimmicks, and granted it couldn't rely on nostalgia since it was creating it. It is truly boggling that more studios don't use this thought process: Let the director make the thing. If he/she sucks too often, then they don't get more work. Easy. I would love to know that what I classify as "his" relentless #$%&-ups are him being bullied by the studio.....but there are just way too many for me to believe that. Also, I've given up on Disney being the source of these failings. Too many of their other properties are making money hand over fist. This is why I have taken to now just blaming the
Disney Era of Lucasfilm (Lucasfilm{D}).
Everyone assumed so and it seemed as if Disney/JJ wanted it to seem that way. Dave disagreed.
Well until he makes a story with Ahsoka
alive post-ROS, she will prolly be assumed dead.
Has nothing to do with better or worse construction. Just color. However in the old canon Mace Windu's saber Was actually more "powerful" as he used Electrum instead of a crystal.
No, the explanation within the show was that he basically tinkered with them and improved their output or something. Unless "improved" merely means he changed their color, and in his narcissism, matching his means they are improved. Which is still weak AF. The lightsaber is a highly personal item, and one of very few things that are classified as a possession. Tinkering with another's should be shunned.
Perhaps it would help to know why I don't see it as an issue. I think I've spoken before about my desire in my "youth" to enter the entertainment industry. During this time I , through the magic of the internet, was able to speak to people within it. Not big name people but stunt men, production assistants and CGI artists. I got first hand knowledge of the crap that happens on film and tv sets. So when I see something like that and the explanation is given about limitations for budget or practicality reasons...it doesn't ring false automatically for me.
Eh. To each their own. I think it was an unforgiveable offence to go with what was easy vs what makes sense.
He said "Served During Alderaan". This meant he was with the alliance during the time Alderaan was lost. Reluctant to bring real world events in but I have heard quite a few military say "I served during 9/11" as a way of saying they were in service when it happened.
Whoop-de-#$%&ing-do. Considering that there wasn't a battle, it's like saying "I was alive during the Clone Wars." Basically he's looking for recognition despite having absolutely NOTHING to do with the event. Now had the Rebellion launched an attack on the Death Star, in an effort to stop Alderaan's destruction, but they inevitably lost, then the line would make sense. He would have held a huge guilt over such a defeat as well as the burden of loss over the Rebels that died during the fighting. Now if the conversation were about Scarif, and he served during that event, then yeah, he's a big damn hero.
That wasn't a Medal..that was apparently his badge. Basically an open invitation to join the New Republic.
Ugh. Rather large for a badge. That whole scene just felt forced.
The Rumor is there is a Disney+ Star Wars Universe on the way...with Mando, Cara Dune, Bo Katan and Ahsoka all having their own shows following their own stories but connected and much like Netflix's Defenders, having them come together again to face a threat.
Ugh! Because we just HAVE to follow the almighty Formula. Honestly there is only one character in that line up that is interesting enough to merit such treatment, but she's already had the bulk of one series and a good chunk of another.
We're not arguing...we're aggressively sharing our opinions. We're Sith...its what we do.
Yes. Aggressive debates.
Sorry, perhaps I should have worded it this way.
"Alright, back to your 'aggressive negotiations'".
[mindlessly munches popcorn while watching "agressive negotiations" and mumbles to self] "I have a bad feeling about this…"
What exactly am I negotiating?
Just the greatest force user OF ALL TIME ... the best Jedi of the Galaxy EVER...
SHAAK TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII #Love
She was more impressive in TFU. NTM hotter.
I just read that the Magistrate was from Dathomir. No official ties to the night sisters as of yet but could kinda explain her ability to keep stride with Ashoka. Probably a long shot on that.
Nope. Nope. We've only ever seen Nightsisters and Nightbrothers on Dathomir, so that's all that ever live there.
Hope that they will succeed to make something great with connected shows to make me forget the trilogy that has never existed
Please. I just got done eating.
