They should make 3PO and R2 the lead characters of the new films. Give it a real Rosencrantz and Guildenstern vibe. That would be amazing.

And the idea that a Star Wars movie would ever have any serious trouble with marketability is funny.

C3PO and R2D2 will still be there (and possibly Chewbacca, Jabba the Hutt etc.)
EDIT: Whoa, forgot Jabba died in VI, great shame

« on: October 31, 2012, 04:03:44 PM »just don't have those characters in the movie, which would make them a lot less appealing to most people.
I think that is the only option, and it's a fine one if the movies are well written and well casted, which is quite possible with Lucas out of the way.

Also,
This would be terrible. Hey everyone, stop saying terrible things.
Just cast new actors. Other movies do this.

I don't "care" about the EU necessarily, I was just wondering if they would try to maintain any continuity with it for the new films. It's probably impossible though, given how dense the post-VI extended universe is at this point. As for the idea that "the original versions are bad", that's some insane bullshit right there.

That's not to say I agree with every single change made, but some of what folks complain about is plum ridiculous. Oh noes, the Ewoks are blinking!!!
Some of it's ridiculous, some of it isn't. I've defended some of the changes myself - I think it actually made sense to swap in ghost Hayden Christensen at the end of Return of the Jedi - but overall, I think the idea that modern CGI effects are objectively better than what they did in the original films is fallacious. I think creativity and good taste are often borne of limitation, and removing the limitations on what you can do visually has led to a lot of unfocused visual clutter in the prequels and in the special editions, as well as lots of other CGI-heavy modern films.

Updating the visuals to modern standards (aka CGI) would not make the original films better, in fact it would probably make them considerably worse. There's a reason people hate the updates Lucas has been adding to the original films over the last 15 years.

I have never watched any of the Star Wars - it's still a franchise that reached the peak of popularity about 40 years before technology allowed it to actually flourish on screen.
This is nonsense.

« on: October 31, 2012, 09:25:57 AM »So make the movies new stories that fit in or steal from the EU material. I always thought Zahn's trilogy would make a great film series.
That's great and all, but who's going to play Luke, Leia, Han etc.? Certainly not the original actors, and recasting new actors in those roles would be equally insane IMO.

Wow. I wonder if the sequel trilogy will be compatible with all the the extended universe material that exists after Episode VI, or if it will ignore that stuff completely. Lucasfilm has taken some extended universe material before - the planet Coruscant's name was invented by Timothy Zahn in his Thrawn Trilogy in 1991, at least.

Weeds S7. 6/10. Of course it's still not as good as seasons 1-3 but it's still got occasional moments of great writing, mostly with Andy. There are still some scattered pointless subplots (the polyamorous relationship, Doug Wilson taking steroids) and the season ending felt vague and rushed, but the main plot and new setting were pretty interesting. I liked a lot of the stuff with Doug's new company and the SEC. But yeah, I'm ready for this show to be over, so I'm glad S8 is the last one.

FTL is awesome. I've died many times but never thought the game "cheated". Randomness is not the same as cheating. I don't think Tetris cheats when it hands me a Z piece instead of an I piece either.

JGL and Shia probably cancel each other out.
EDIT: Never mind, for some reason I thought JGL was in this movie. Not sure where I got that idea. Maybe I was mixing it up with Looper.

Good call. Last episode was great. It had two of the best montage sequences I've seen on television. And an awesome ending. Though it seems uncharacteristically stupid of Walt to leave that book in his house. I guess nobody's perfect though.

I'd like to point out that in my experience iOS devices generally have great battery life, especially when they're running the version of iOS that they shipped with, but I installed iOS 5 on the iPod touch I sent you, and that update is notorious for killing the performance and battery life of the iPhone 3GS and the third gen iPod touch (which is what you have.) Mostly cause I think it does way more background processing than the 3rd gen hardware was initially designed for. Not making excuses, just trying to explain. Also, I have played loads of great games on iOS, and even if many of them are short experiences, I believe the bang/buck ratio is still often very high.

That's a fairly weird episode. That's in season 2 I think, did you not watch season 1? A lot of this show isn't "funny", but I'm totally fine with that. It's about more than that. The Afghanistan episodes were amazing, and a perfect example of what the show is trying to do. If you want to try it again at all, just skip up to those.

Has anyone seen Terriers? There's only one season, it's on Netflix, and I had heard good things.
