Star Wars discussion

Is it weird that I kinda wanna watch it even more now?

And finished Clone Wars

Ah, but that is where I must correct you, my friend.  Disney did not finish Clone Wars.  Before they so rudely destroyed Mr. Lucas and Davy's plans, Clone Wars was to have an eighth season.  Funny how they skipped out on the good-natured fans who had begged and pleaded for so long.  All they gave them was twelve episodes!!!

Many uses of CGI in the prequels were necessary.  Such as Mr. Yoda himself.  If they had made Yoda a puppet for Episodes II and III, bad things were likely to brew.   How would practical effects work for a puppet battling Sith folk at high speeds?  And can you imagine using practical effects for the battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin?

They probably would have just not made scenes of Yoda flipping around screaming like a banshee. I'm not sure that would have been a bad thing.

But like the other guy said, Lucas considered himself to be pioneering CGI. That's why he talked about Jar Jar, one of the first all-CGI characters in a live action movie, being the "key" to the whole. And the movies did turn out to be pioneering and influential for CGI, just in a cautionary "how not to do it" way. Attack of the Clones is the worst looking big budget blockbuster Hollywood has ever made.

Lol, "all CGI" is quite an exaggeration, my friend.

Spoiler

Even Mr. Lucas knew when to use practical means for strange looking aliens.

[The Shadow of Korriban]

Has anyone else been viewing The Mandalorian?   So much has happened.

[Scott McLamok]

I haven't because me, Worty, my siblings, and my cousins are gonna binge watch it...But I got spoiled some of it....

[The Shadow of Korriban]

You got spoiled?  That's sad.

[Scott McLamok]

Aaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhh!

[The Shadow of Korriban]

Ugh, muffins.

Spoiler

I would call the latest episode of the Mandalorian filler, but stuff actually happened.   AT LEAST NOW I CAN BE SURE THAT AHSOKA IS GONNA STAR IN THE NEXT EPISODE, hey?

Just started the second season of The Mandalorian. Man, I am enjoying it. It feels more like an old western than a sci-fi show. XD

*SCREAMS OF HOPE AND JOY CAN BE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE LAND*  Disney better not mess this up.
