All Talk Star Wars.

[Guntur]

Alright folks, lately I read a lot of Star Wars related thread in the "GREAT KING OF THE PAST" including the mini RP we had, I guess we all should share the love in all related star wars thread.

I have 3 question:

What do you think about Original Trilogy?

What do you think about the Prequel?

and

What do you think about the new 3 episode for Star Wars VII, VIII and IX?

No we won't do any RP this time but want to share your view on Lucasfilm property.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My view that I'm glad they making a new trilogy for Star Wars, especially when Disney takeover on Lucasfilm for the upcoming sequel, I heard a good cast and of course JJ Abrams is making the sequel.

The only downside of the whole excitement is All of the Extended Universe material are absolute and no longer canon in the timeline. It kinda sad that all the hard work that the artists and writer are water down over a sequel.

There you go, my opinion about it, no Kyle Katarn, no Anakin Solo, No Darth Caedus.

Good news folks, Disney will be release unaltered cut of Star Wars original trilogy. This would be cool, good and awesome to all the first generation of Star Wars Hardcore fans.

Sorry I didn't put another footage yesterday.

I just want to let you guys knows that there's going to be Star Wars Battlefront for 2015.

I can't wait to watch the new movie and to play the game.

[Sadiki]

I can't even say​, I know I don't really care for the newer ones that much. But from 3 original ones I can't really pick which one is the best. They all have their own charm.

[Guntur]

True, but I already added multiple choices to vote your favorite Star Wars movie. ;) I should add as the seven options: "All of 'em" :lol:

I picked the original trilogy any day, because I have a fond memory watching it during midterm holiday 10 years ago. Man there's a lot of memories with that month and the released of Revenge of the Sith. :hugs::aww:

[Dare]

I voted for Empire Strikes Back purely because I absolutely LOVE the AT-AT walkers. They scared the bejesus outta me when I was a tot, but they also fit nicely into my childhood obsession with robots/Transformers - even back then, I was contemplating cross-overs. I mean, an AT-AT Decepticon? Gah, when I get my Muses back, I gotta draw that!

But I digress.


What do you think about Original Trilogy?

Love 'em! First sci-fi movie I ever saw (that I remember).

What do you think about the Prequel?

...no comment.


What do you think about the new 3 episode for Star Wars VII, VIII and IX?

I don't know how I feel about the new Star Wars trilogy. Part of me is hopeful, but I was also hopeful with the prequels too and I'm really really not a fan of those (though, I admit that I am a trilogy purist, so there's a definite bias here).

I'm also still a bit blinded by JJ Abrams' obsession with lens flares during Star Trek so.....

Though, since learning the BB-8 droid is actually a practical effect (kudos, movie makers, for not relying on CGI for EVERYTHING), I might have to see 'em purely so I can play the "What's CGI? What's Practical?" game. Worst comes to worst, I can always headcanon the new movies into an Alternate Universe.

Hey guys, I just watched Episode 6 for the first time in 6 month, I honestly cried watching the whole Endor moon scene and the battle of Endor. After watching the whole Battle of Endor scene and done some research from the internet and the script I realized how clever George craft the back line of the whole battle. I don't think I realized back then 10 years ago because all I care on that time was a good movie.

[Azerane]

Original trilogy is awesome and always will be. As a kid, I never liked Yoda because he was boring, and all his scenes were long and boring, for that reason Empire Strikes Back was my least favourite when I was young and I think my favourite was Return of the Jedi. Now I can't really choose between the three, they all have things that I love.

I'm not a fan of the prequels, teenage Anakin is probably the worst actor in the entire series (in my opinion) and I cannot get past that aspect of the prequels. I also dislike all the heavy CGI effects for all the space scenes etc, it just doesn't have the right feel to it compared to the original movies.

As for the coming movie, I have high hopes for it. Who knows what it's going to be like, but I anticipate that it will be much better done and well received than the prequels. Looking forward to seeing it next month :)

[Guntur]

Hello folks, what do you think about the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens? discuss it here. :cheese:

[Azerane]

As a brief summing up, I really enjoyed The Force Awakens, was a great movie. There wasn't really anything that stood out to me as particularly bad. There were a few moments that bugged me, but you get that with any movie. I've enclosed what I thought about particular aspects of the movie in the spoiler button below.

OK, so obviously the biggest thing that's going to be going around is that they killed off Han Solo, which is awful. Because Han is an awesome character. I had been worried because I'd seen someone on Facebook write "I can't believe they killed Chewbacca" I was annoyed but was also hoping that it was written as a joke as I'm sure they knew how big of a deal spoilers for this movie are, and then I saw Simba04 post how he wouldn't be seeing any more of the movies because he was watching them for one reason. Then I knew that a major character had to die. So that in itself was a spoiler for me, even though it's not technically a spoiler. In regards to Hans death, while he is my favourite character. I feel like it happened in an acceptable way, and not just some random firefight. So in the moment it's not wholly unexpected.

My only real gripe with the movie was the lightsaber fight between Kylo Ren and Finn, and Kylo and Rey. Kylo is meant to be well trained and they quite easily get the upper hand on him several times. I know he's wounded, but it seemed like a bit of a miss-match to me. My other concern with Kylo Ren is that he looks nothing like either Han or Leia, which is just irritating :p I have my own theory about Rey's origins.

Overall, the movie had a great feel to it. CGI was extremely well done, and everything felt believable. There's a lot of great cameos from old characters which is wonderful. I felt the script was good, although as Pat pointed out to me after the fact, the plot is rather similar to that of A New Hope. It works, but really the giant death laser planet is a little excessive. With the amount of manpower and funding it must have cost to build, surely they could have an enormous fleet that would be just as, if not more powerful.

So I did love it, it was so exciting sitting in the cinema and having the opening music blast out with the words "Star Wars" appearing on the screen. I would love to see it again to be able to digest a little more of it, because there's quite a lot of hints and subtle suggestions at things that aren't explained, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story develops :)

Star Wars, woohoo! :kionhappy2:

[Dare]

Just got in from seeing it. I honestly can't tell if I like it (as a Star Wars flick) or not.
I think I'll have to re-watch it another 2-3 times before I decide.
;)

[Kirauni]

The last movie I watched was Jurassic World. I really enjoyed it and it felt much like the first part. And finally, I'm getting what Dare's current avatar is pointing at XD

[Kasei]

I might have a different opinion than most of the population, but I actually just thought the Star Wars movie was meh. It kind of reminded me of Jurassic World in a lot of ways, mostly because it spent a lot of time giving nods to the original movie/franchise rather than breaking any kind of new ground. Like Jurassic World, I think it's making bank because it's cashing in on the world's nostalgia for the original films. I mean, Star Wars is like the original fandom and is MASSIVE...so any new addition to the franchise is going to make a ton of money.

As a movie, it was fine. Pretty standard Hollywood epic. As a Star Wars movie, I dunno...I mean, it felt more like a Star Wars movie than episodes II and III, so I liked it better than those. But it definitely lacked something, I just can't put my finger on what. I'm not saying it was a bad movie...but I just saw it on Christmas Day and have already forgotten most of what happened. And can't remember anyone's name except for Finn and Po. I dunno, maybe it just had too much hype for me to appreciate that it wasn't awful like everyone feared it would be before it came out. I'm also not much of a Star Wars fan to begin with, so I could just be a harder sell. ^^;

I believe this is deserved to post here.

[Nit]

I've watched "A New Hope" not so long ago (silver screen edition - a scan of 35mm film).
I havent seen it since I was a child... and even then I don't think I saw the entire movie at once - I saw part of the movie on VHS and the other part later in the TV. Why? Because even though I'm a big fan of fantasy and sci-fi movies and books this franchise was never really appealing to me.
Special effects aren't holding up as well as those in "A Space Odyssey". The story isn't that great either. The music, visual design and acting (excluding Princess Leia) are strong parts of the movie for sure.
I never was a big fan of Star Wars and my opinion hasn't changed. It's an overrated (but okay, there were some cool moments) samurai space wester/fantasy movie. I understand why there's hype, but the movie wasn't that revolutionary even back in 1977.
tl;dr 6,5/10 ;)

[KanuTGL]

Carrie Fisher.

This is just too sad :sarabicry:

[Leorgathar]

...I know :rafikicry: she's gone way too soon.

[Kopa]

I was and am still very saddened by the news of Carrie Fisher. I am a huge fan of Star Wars and always will be. :tears: She will be missed greatly by millions of fans around the world. To hear her mother passed away less than 24 hours later just made the heartbreak even worse. :rafikicry: Reading most of the statements left by their loved ones and costars brought even more tears to my eyes. :sarabicry: May they rest in peace.

May the Force be with them.

[Guntur]

Rest in Peace Mrs Carrie Fisher and May God and Force be with you and your mother. :(

[Nalas]

So sad about Carrie Fisher and her Mother. :cs_sad_3: May the Force be with them both.

[Leorgathar]

The first Star Wars: The Last Jedi teaser is here!!! :D

[Guntur]

I love the new trailer, but if you don't want to get spoiled by the whole content? I would suggest hold it off until you see the movie. :cheese:

But I also believe that with the Title and the Teaser content already spoiled you, why not? ;)

Oh man, I'm going to love this movie, I hope it's Empire Strike Back vibe into it.

[KanuTGL]

The hype is on :D

[Nalas]

Looks like The Last Jedi is going to be good. I do thoroughly enjoy A New Hope, too.

[Kossu]

Aaaand the new trailer is out!

[Guntur]

Any thoughts of The Last Jedi? Any of you watched the premiere and in cinema? Be sure to put Spoiler Tag before accidentally ruining for everyone else ;)
