    Isn't AI incredible ?

    Kinda scary in one sense too, the image and movement of a younger Christopher Lee isn't quite there 100% but the voice is flawless ( and what a distinctive and awesome voice it is )

    It won't be long until they make a movie or standalone show about Dooku, his character deserves it.

    @MN5 id watch it (although my ongoing preference is to leave this period in time alone)...and you know disney would have access to better tech than youre average dude on the internet, and the epidoes of "tales of the jedi/sith" with a young dooku were good

    Oh I would too, his character was never "quite" 100% sith ( didn't have the red eyes etc ) and seemed a bit of a hustler out for himself and helped hugely by Lee being his usual amazing self. He wasn't in the movies enough.

    Seeing him and Qui Gonn in their younger days could be good fun.

    @MN5 definitely, much like Qui Gon is generally accepted to be a grey jedi, almost using the jedi rather than having drunk the cool aide

    did you watch tales of the jedi?

    No, I'll keep an eye out for it. Need to finish off the second viewing of Andor first !

    Anyone caught Andor yet ?

    My boys are off on holiday so I promised I'd wait til they were back to watch it.

    Apparently nerd world is losing its shit about Mon Mothma having a rave at her daughters wedding ?

    @canefan i feel in the past shows had fewer series arcs, was more week to week, often you could miss a week and wouldnt change much, not so much anymore

    People just lack patience these days. I remember hanging every weekend for radio serials on 2ZB kids morning, they would go for ages until finished

    @canefan both can be true

    I also think we're more distracted and plots are more complicated as we've put down series for a couple of weeks (away or what every) and you come back and look at each other and ask "what happened again"

    All valid points but gee whiz you have to be careful with spoilers and the like all over the interweb.

    Apparently they successfully build the gigantic space station they’re talking about and it even blows up a few planets too

    Further to the Death Star point I made above.

    It is FUCKEN enormous and absolutely pushing the plausibility rating beyond criticial.

    But yeah, watching Andor and the intricacies of every little part you can see how the Empire had a ( massive ) group of scientists, engineers etc to make it happen.

    But in the Sequel trilogy that is not enough, they have to go completely over the top and have a laser built into a whole fucken planet which pushes the ridiculousness to new heights.

    ......and that doesn't even bring into account Palpatines secret squad of Star Destroyers each with their own superlasers. Beyond stupid.

    How did he do this despite dying in Return of the Jedi ?

    Somehow.

    @Virgil said in Movie review thread...:

    @dogmeat said in Movie review thread...:

    @Virgil I have only ever watched the first four star wars movies (by order of production). The first three were ok but massively over hyped. The fourth killed it for me. Lucas combined syrupy sappiness with fucking awful plots and characters Jar Jar Ewoks etc. Screaming piles of shit in the main.

    Dude you shouldnt be talking about this here, did you not see @taniwharugby's comment just before.
    You're gonna get us nerds in so much trouble...

    Also "The first three were ok.." ??
    alt text

    Yeah. You're right.

    The first one.

    so, i just starting playing a new (to me) game , star wars : fallen order

    dont get me wrong, my preference is to leave that period of time all together....but, so far this is done well (and you could take the story and tweak it to a different time).....how come we seem to struggle when it comes to movies?

    so far its a bit of a treasure hunt, there is parkour adventure, puzzle solving.....its fun!

    I think this is the correct thread. Does Andor (season one) get more interesting? I'm one and a half episodes in and starting to think every Star Wars movie/ tv series is just for kids (Mandalorian being the exception).
