News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

[Professortango1]

thank goodness for miraculously changing clothes man!

I did concede it was a different man, didn't I? *Scrolls up* Okay, yes I did. I'm not sure why you're still hammering that point. It's the same ship. The film shows it and Wookiepedia shows it.

This is all pointless squabbling

of course, of course

Disney Star Wars isn't canon as it strays from George Lucas' original vision.

i've enjoyed sporadic eu thoughout the years and totally dug on the kotor games, but...
tfa and tlj were surprisingly stark realizations to me that, as far as movies go, i dearly miss george's involvement

still trying to figure if it's been the content i've been served or actually the man himself

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Disney = white slavers.

I'm not going to argue with a man who sits on a bench alone outside The Haunted Mansion.

Just to add to that since this is the only point I will take issue with. Has no one seen a diplomatic spy movie in the last 60 years?

A diplomat that is a spy is NEVER going to admit they stole xyz. And will ALWAYS claim being on diplomatic business even when being caught red handed.

Usually in a spy movie, if they are caught red handed, they don't just give a lame lie. If somebody saw James Bond steal something, pursued him immediately, chased down Bond, finally got him stopped and out of the car; Bond isn't going to say "No, that wasn't me. I was driving to afternoon tea." Denying something we saw you do is what children do. It makes Leia look pretty dumb and immature trying to pass off that excuse.

Bond isn't going to say "No, that wasn't me. I was driving to afternoon tea.".

i dunno...
that might be exactly what he'd say before spraying them with cyanide from his cummerbund

So admittedly most diplomatic spy movies show the diplomat as the bad guy. But almost all of them have the diplomat at one point try to claim diplomatic immunity when caught. And isn't until they are interrogated that the diplomat admits to the wrong doing.

I know Fresh Baked isn't everyone's cup of tea but fun to watch their "breakdown" of the drone footage - Fresh Baked Review of New Drone Footage

Of course they are creating products for mass consumption, Star Wars is a business like any other. When has Star Wars not been that? These are not pieces of fine art. These aren't Tarantino films. They are sci-fi popcorn flicks, cinematic thrill rides. You're fooling yourself if you think they are anything more than that.

Tarantino movies are fine art? Anyways... I would argue the entire Original Trilogy as well as The Last Jedi are incredibly artistic. Yes, they have their silly moments (as these are children's films), there's a ton of layers, especially in TLJ.

Can someone please explain to me what a white slaver is?

I'm not 100% sure but I know it's either a white person who enslaves others or it's somebody who enslaves white people. I'm assuming the latter, but I'm not positive.

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

So much for the construction/ specific thread but I am enjoying the debate

 

[MisterPenguin]

Can someone please explain to me what a white slaver is?

A white slaver is a slaver that makes morally good choices. A dark slaver chooses evil. And a grey slaver is morally neutral.

 

[TROR]

Decided to look it up because I was curious. I guess Escape from Tomorrow was right all along.

George Lucas is a whining idiot.

How did Chancellor Palpatine go from a normal looking dude to Darth
Sideous? Am I repressing that scene or did they not show it?

Isn't the internet a beautiful thing?? How did we ever live without it??

Ah, yes. I remember now. Unlimited power.

Speaking of Mace Windu, my son thinks that he is Snoke and Snoke isn't really dead. You heard it here first.

 

[dweezil78]

Ugh... re-watching that reminds me of how fake those prequels looked. They're basically video game cutscenes.

 

[Curious Constance]

Obviously fake is pretty charming though.
