Lets talk all things Star Wars

[batguy]

I've been going through old 95- issues of SW Insider magazine and the thing that sticks out to me is how they talked about their projects and the fans versus now. Rick McCallum, doing a Prequel update Q&A, regularly says they are making them for fans and that, usually after being asked about FX, says the story comes first. Almost all projects, be it games, books, or whatever, the people involved say the story is first. Then other articles, in particular an interview with Dustin Chin (LucasArts, about Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight) said basically that fans are loyal and fickle and in most cases know more about SW than they do, so they owe it to them to make a good product. Compared to now where actors and Lucasfilm employees regularly attack fans for real criticism.

On the one hand "the story comes first" is basically an empty catch phrase in filmmaking. A slogan. George Lucas would say it about SW but Michael Bay would say the same thing about 'Transformers.'

On the other hand, modern LFL wouldn't say "the story comes first" that often. They might get around to saying it after they were finished checking off the more important race/gender/orientation issues that actually come first in their minds.

Question: Is the era of The Acolyte “Pre-Bacta”?

Is that why being stuck with a letter opener can kill?

Maybe…

Exactly

How many lightsabers have impaled how many people, and they just slapped the wound a couple times and keep on going?

A good soak in a Bacta tank and you can cure everything, even Bespin Syphillus….

…isn’t that right, Boba??

No one's ever really gone...

I'd rather have a Star Wars where being stabbed in the chest with a knife is fatal, vs. one where being run through with a lightsaber is survivable.

Dead on as usual.

IRL you can get impaled and survive if it misses everything vital. However, the heat transfer from the blade might cause some collateral damage. We need one of our resident doctors on this.

I’m pretty sure this would cook your guts…

To be fair, that was passed on to him by his ‘father’.

Disney era lightsaber stabs are the equivalent of being shot in the stomach. Not at all a death sentence... unless you're male. XD

Anyone placing bets on who gets stabbed in the stomach tonight?

Or who DIDN'T?!

Okay while the first 4 were pretty mediocre... That 5th episode I just watched was NUTS.

I'd even say great.

Won't spoil (tho everyone here says they're not watching anyway) but just as far as the fighting goes, absolutely the most entertaining I've seen in a while.

And I love that helmet.

Yeah all around great single episode. I'm sure people will find weird things to complain about, but that was a fun 30 (?) mins.

Definitely don't need to collect any of those thick-@$$ sabers.

Also - I hated actor playing Quimir when he was in "The Good Place", but he's def killing it in this series.

Fight scenes made this episode the most watchable of all so far but I didn't care about what happened because I don't care about any of these characters. This may actually be the first time I watched something Star Wars and had zero empathy for anyone. I was hoping the

dark sider would be someone else. But no they went with the most glaringly obvious person and his justification for his life choices were mediocre. Also the helmet protects him from mind reading? Ok.

Update: O'Keefe Media Group has uploaded another video of another Disney higher up on YouTube. That's all I'll say.

 

[janglesworthy]

if that was supposed to be the episode that rivals the duel of fates...not even close. It was better than the other 4 episodes though.
