@MN5 CGI advances have been significant since 1977...
I’ve noticed that too, I still think they need to add a few more ships in the background for the New Hope battle scene I talked about.
Not like they haven’t done it already…..

ps://Funny thing, IMHO when Lucas did the remastered version, added stuff to the Mos Eisley scene and other stuff, to me it felt overdone and unnecessary
i didnt realise there had been that many changes (especially the han shot first scene), the Jabba scene is the one that gets talked about the most obviously
i dont have a problem with most of the changes (quality of some of the cgi aside, i think peter jackson did better in LotR than some of the 2003/2011 star wars stuff), i think in hind sight as ive got older and you learn how big the rest of the star wars universe is...seeing as this is the only normal civilian town we come across...is cloud city the only other one?.....in the original trilogy, its kind of good too flesh it out, otherwise the only normal "people" we see are in the cantina....but yeah, add some more tie fighters...weird he stopped changing things after they left Tatooine.....
Hundreds of tie fighters in the background wouldn’t take anything away from Luke’s heroics as there’s no way they could fit in the gap to destroy the Death Star.
While I’m griping…..why the fuck did Chewie not get a medal and why the fuck did Wedge ( the only other survivor if I'm not mistaken ) not even get on the podium ?
Also when Porkins got shot ( typical, fat slow guy gets tagged first ) one of the pilots tells him to ‘eject’
Haha what the fuck ? Eject where ? Into space with no spacesuit ?

Farking love Wedge. The biggest crime was him not getting his own toy at that time. Every bloody obscure alien got one, and even that fat fůck who cried over the Rancor.

Looks like the kind of alien that would order soy flavoured Jawa juice

100 years before Order 66, there was Order 66 KFC buckets.

Another one is that his BMI is higher than his Midichlorian count.

I doubt many are watching the Acolyte, plenty of stuff I can imagine people disliking
But, two things…I’m enjoying the fact it’s at a completely different time, literally only one continuity thought
And the entrance of the Stranger and the subsequent saber fight is pretty sick

I haven't heard good things. But I'm receptive to trying it

I watched the prequels twice and Rise of Skywalker once so clearly I'll watch it no matter how low the bar is.
I'm just waiting for the next season of Andor before I get Disney again.

I wouldn’t go out of your way, little to do with the “main” thread so if you think the stuff you’ve read makes it one you wouldn’t like I’d just leave it

Don’t get me wrong…a bit cringe…not where I would have gone…but better imo that what we got…and I might have done a little fist pump

@MN5 especially considering fuel and apparently the cost of living crisis is a thing in Star Wars now, how much fuel does it take to go around a planet when you could just shoot through it

Perhaps they had to conserve power with the laser as well to be fair ? Shooting at the planet might destroy it but leave the moon unscathed. They might have to recharge and shoot again.

Finished the Acolyte,
the things i liked out number the things i dislikedthere is some rough acting (most of the jedi).....but Manny Jacinto was a very good bad guy and i liked his motive of just wanting to be what he is, a dark side user....but because the jedi say he cant exist then he has to push back
there is obviously going to be more, the teaser of Darth Plagueis suggests even if he believes it he is being played
some cool fights scenes but also slightly convoluted plot i felt
i was hoping for a completely unconnected starwars story but it clear they just cant step away from connections to the originals

Princess Leia's golden bikini sells for nearly $300k at auction
Actress Carrie Fisher said she thought director George Lucas was "kidding" when he first showed her the gold bikini worn in 1983's Return of the Jedi.
Iconic piece of SW cinematic history

I always found the DM thing absolutely ridiculous. Very surprised Lucas signed off on that. You get run through with a lightsaber that has to be the end. It's an absolute pisstake now and anyone who claims otherwise is delusional.
The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together. Surely it can transform the molecules around a lightsaber?
