I actually, for some reason, never got into it when it was airing. I did however catch a few episodes of the original cartoon one and it was ok with a younger Anakin. The CGI one came out and I caught a few episodes here and there and for some reason I just couldnt get behind the idea of him having an apprentice. I was dumb in them high school days

[Amelia Pritchard]

I think Disney getting the rights was the best thing that could have happened.

[Logan Greenwood]

I honestly thought Anakin was portrayed better in the late 2000's animated Clone Wars series than in the prequels. He was way less whiny, IMO. Also, I liked Ahsoka. I thought it was interesting watching Anakin interact with her.

[Project]

Agreed. He was the Anakin we wanted, not the one we got.

Nice


I wonder if she'll use a move set like that? Would be interesting if she took on a taichi like style.

Star Wars Bloodline

https://youtu.be/qd7_gAU67Hk


A novel set 6 years before the events of TFA from Leia's perspective. The video does give some interesting insights to what has been revealed about the book such as Leia and Han's relationship, Ben Solo's whereabouts and a few other things that may be considered spoilers. This book will most likely fill in several big pieces of the puzzle.

Lucas likes to say that Star Wars are "just" kids movies, but there's kids and there's kids. There's teenage kids then there's babies. In earlier interviews he said that he was making a Flash Gordon movie for teenagers, but now his idea of kids tends to be pre-school. Few advlts grow out of teenage stuff like Marvel, whereas we mostly grow out of stuff made for babies. Has Lucas' concept of what a kid is changed as he's gotten old, or has he moved the goalposts to match his writing ability? (Sorry George, but your writing ability is only fit for toddlers)

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

Every time I hear that phrase, I want to kill myself and I really mean that.

[Taylor Thompson]

Here's a vid interviewing a very young looking RLM crew back in 2002. The guy at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odJWMxjWQoo said exactly what I've been saying, that the OT was targeted at teenagers and the PT was targeted at babies.

[Danielle Brown]

Yeah I saw that vid yesterday, brings back memories. I actually saw ep II in theater with my bud at the time. Ep III I actually enjoyed, it finally got the ball rolling. Didn't like how Anakin's Fall was handled, but his acting was a bit better. Plus like I once said the movies had some high quality actors like Ian McDiarmid, Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Christopher Lee, and Natalie Portman, it was just GL's poor writing skills that killed them, except Ian as Palpatine, he nailed that role.

[Horror- Puppe]

Ep. II was a period when I was still trying to fool myself into thinking that Lucas knew what he was doing, that the PT was still good. I think it was after that, once I got it on DVD that I realised how crap it really is. Ep. III lost me as soon as R2 started to have slapstick fights with battle droids near the beginning.

[Genocidal Cry]

The PT lost me as soon as metachlorians were defined. That moment killed everything that made me love the OT. The Force was mystical and did not need to be explained. It was something that seemed like anyone could learn, not something you have to have a predetermined genetic condition.

[Crystal Birch]

I don't know what it is about Lucas that makes him think we need EVERYTHING explained to us, from the Force to how Vader got back to Executor in ESB. Does he think we're as simple minded as him?

[Isaiah Burdeau]

I feel like if the mitachlorians were explained better than simply just "having these means you can use the force" it wouldn't have been as bad.


Say for example they explained that everyone can be taught to use the force, but the mitachlorians meant that they had a natural potential to learn it quicker than others, kinda how like some people are born with natural artistic talent, while some learn it over time and can end you being better than someone who had the skill naturally because they spent more time honing those skills.


I get why they did mitachlorians for story purposes, so they had a reason why anakin was taught the force in the first place while being too old to begin training. I mean Luke was basically only taught because they had no other choice, even Yoda didn't want to because he was too old.


And because they said in empire strikes back that luke was the last hope, and then Yoda was like "no there is another", that basically implied that there had to be some genetic link to using the force, because otherwise they could have just been like "well we can just pick up some orphans from random planets and teach them".


What I mean is that line in ESB set a precedence that the force is hereditary rather than a learned skill. So it's not like the mitachlorian explanation is right out of the blue, they sort of painted themselves into that corner with ESB and ROTJ. the prequel trilogy isn't all to blame for the mitachlorian debacle.

[Sun of Sammy]

I agree that the r2 slapstick droid ddr was pretty stupid in ep3.


I'm not really sure why everyone is so outraged over mitichlorians all the time. Who cares??

[Heather Stewart]

Because the Force was cool. Lucas made it something nerdy. Took all the coolness out of it.

[Andrew Tarango]

When Yoda said "There is another" in ESB, it was originally meant to be the first lead onto the plot of the original ST, not because of anything to do with DNA. But Lucas kept changing his mind about plot, so we eventually got the mess that we know and hate today.

[Beast Attire]

I forgot about that part, it's been eleven years since I seen that movie or any Star Wars movie.

[Emily Jeffs]

I do realize this, but if the force wasn't hereditary, why does the other matter so much? Why not just train a new pupil or multiple of them if anyone could learn the force. Why is the other so important if not that he/she was a related to a Jedi.


I mean if Luke was one of the last hopes, he only had like a few hours of training from obi wan, a couple years of honing those skills and maybe a month or so of training from Yoda. What's stopping Yoda from just training another person to be a Jedi? Why does the last hope / the other one mean so much if anyone could be trained as a Jedi? Especially since luke was trained way later than he was supposed to, you'd think they could just train another person up for a couple years.


It just seems to me like back then there was a significant reason there was only one other hope left. If it was time constraint, then that's Yoda fault for not training anyone new in the 20 or so years prior.
