    I find it kinda funny that there are 2 ocean planets within spitting distance of Tatooine, yet they still gotta farm the desert for moisture.

    Naboo and Geonosis? Kinda dicks

    Geonosis is a desert world.

    Now Kamino? But it isn't even on the map, and is given that it's described as "beyond the Outer Rim" may be even more remote than Tatooine, which takes some doing.

    Tatooine is located in the Outer Rim, but it's on a major hyperspace lane. So while it's remote, it's not especially difficult to access. Think of Tatooine as one of those little towns that popped up on Route 66 that everyone just drives buy nowadays and only like 10 people still live there.

    So, like Radiator Springs?

    Yeah, that one is bad.

    The Jar Jar episodes get better after the main characters begin acknowledging his propensity for destruction and start pointing him at the enemy to see what happens.

    There are even a couple episodes in the last season where he isn't 100% incompetent. It's the one time he's seemed like an actual character rather than a bad slapstick generator.

    I'm very interested to see how they deal with title card stuff in the "side" films like Rogue One. Will there be the scrolling text? The fanfare? I would personally save that stuff for the big mainline films.

    What's the in-universe explanation for the sith, and only the sith using red lightsabers?

  • manwiththemachinegunmanwiththemachinegun METAL GEAR?! Registered User regular
    Red is the color of the devil.

    No seriously, I have no idea.

  • SnicketysnickSnicketysnick The Greatest Hype Man in WesterosRegistered User regular
    iirc it's something to do with Sith using artificially created crystals for their sabres, as opposed to naturally grown ones. I'm not sure where I heard this so it might be total bollocks though!

    It's a branding issue

    /

    Sith light sabre crystals give off the red colour because most of them originate from korriban or other sithy places. Different places produced different colour crystals.

    In the old EU, that's the way it was. Jedi used naturally formed magic crystals that they found with the Force, Sith used The Force to artificially grow and shape their own crystals.
    The artificial crystals made red beams, though presumably a Sith could alter the process to make a blade of whatever color they desired, but, you know, Sith love their traditions.

    I don't think there's been any commentary on Sith vs. Jedi lightsabers in the new continuity though. Maybe we'll get some details from Kylo Ren, since his blade is all weird and crackly. Maybe find out what he did wrong/different with his.

    They don't explain it in the movies. Newu? I don't know: is it in the Clone Wars show?

    Oldeu, it was either they were colorless and when you made your saber you personally infused the crystal with your forcethat's what gives it it's glow, or the crystals were from illum and that's where the green and blue ones come from.

    [George Lucas] went back to some scenes that had always bothered him, particularly in the 1977 film: When Han Solo (Harrison Ford) is threatened by Greedo, a bounty hunter working for the sluglike gangster Jabba the Hutt, Han reaches for his blaster and shoots Greedo by surprise underneath a cantina table.

    In the new version, it is Greedo who shoots first, by a split second. Deeply offended fans saw it as sacrilege; Lucas will probably go to his grave defending it. When Han shot first, he says, it ran counter to “Star Wars’ ” principles.

    “Han Solo was going to marry Leia, and you look back and say, ‘Should he be a cold-blooded killer?’ ” Lucas asks. “Because I was thinking mythologically — should he be a cowboy, should he be John Wayne? And I said, ‘Yeah, he should be John Wayne.’ And when you’re John Wayne, you don’t shoot people [first] — you let them have the first shot. It’s a mythological reality that we hope our society pays attention to.”

    Sorry, George, you are just wrong.

  • RenzoRenzo Registered User regular
    Regardless of the thinking behind it, the altered scene looks horrible. Han's head moves like a Monty Python cartoon.

  • Mr. GMr. G Registered User regular
    That explanation actually makes perfect sense to me

    I still think it's the wrong choice, but I can totally respect that internal logic to it, that it comes from modeling him after a specific type rather than what I had assumed, which was "Han's gotta be nicer for the kids"

    The problem is the initial character COULD be compared to a cowboy. But not John Wayne. He was Clint Eastwood. He was the Outlaw Josey Wales. The hard ass, cares for no one, near criminal. Who through the course of the film changes, ever so slightly, into being what you think could be a good man. Who you think leaves when he is needed, selfishly, and because while the movie makes you think he could be a good man it still leaves the doubt whether he is or not so you are a little sad but not surprised when it turns out he really isn't.

    And then suddenly he returns right when he is needed, like the hero you hoped he was, and your heart lifts and you love him all the more because you didn't expect him to be.

    Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.

    Han shooting first never made sense to me, cause Han isn't a murderer. But him shooting first kind of makes him one. The re-done scene does look goofy though, yes.

    Han shoots first because he is a smuggler with a bounty on his head, and Greedo decided to monologue instead of doing the job.

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    Han isn't murdering Greedo

    That's clearly self defense

    Han has a price on his head, a bounty hunter has a blaster pointed at him, the bounty hunter has talked about how he's been waiting to kill him
