I just rewatched The Last Jedi and this is my first rewatch since it released. I felt it was time to give it a second chance. I was surprised.

First of all, the space battles in this are great. I also rewatched Empire recently and I think that this film really does a great job of recreating the anxiety of the asteroid field scenes in a new way. I was locked for that bomber scene.

I also think that the way Luke was handled while very much a subversion of expectation was really cool. Yeah, it kind of undermines the knowledge and wisdom you’d expect he’d have gained from all of his history (on screen and implied). But it does do a great job of conveying the real world experience of failure. I especially liked the part where Yoda spells this out to Luke. It feels like a Dagobah lesson that Luke missed.

I also liked Luke’s interpretation of the Jedi Order as I think it ties really well into the plot of the prequels and strongly reflects his character. He’s a Jedi that only knew the Jedi Order after it fell apart. He knows that happened and blames their ignorance for it.

He also points out that the “force” exists with or without the Jedi (and Sith) which I think is a commentary on how real world religions have historically neglected reality and spirituality in favour of dogma. This stance makes sense for Luke as he mostly learned the way of the force independently and was never indoctrinated the same way you’d expect Republic Era Jedi were.

One thing that I recall disliking about TLJ was the amount of comedic relief. Rewatching, I don’t think it’s that bad and honestly feels about the right level for Star Wars. That said there are definitely some moments that feel a little more silly than the original saga.

There are a couple things that I still have gripes with. First, the opening pan into the upcoming battle feels rushed. I was expecting a ROTS Coruscant type space battle intro. Just as the shot approaches the ship it cuts to a different shot from the planet surface. That said, the sfx and vision of the star destroyers entering the system from light speed is dope.

The Rose/Finn plot is fine until Rose saves Finn from his Holdo type stunt. Why would you set up for Finn to attempt a bold heroic gesture just to completely shut it down and direct attention to a (what comes kind of out of the blue) romantic plot line. The high stakes are immediately ripped away from the dire situation the resistance is in.

Ultimately I feel like the film stands pretty well on its own. It will be interesting to rewatch TFA. From memory part TLJ doesn’t follow through on much from that.

Does anyone else like how they did Luke? I feel like my take is probably not the most popular, but I honestly enjoyed how he was treated here.

I’ve been watching Star Wars again, the whole thing.

Not 7,8,9 but everything else.

I just finished AOTC and I’m keen to watch clones wars, but I’ve watched it twice and I just want to kind of watch the important/best episodes so I can move onto ROTS (my favourite).

What would you say are the most important and/or best clone wars episodes? I don’t mind watching 15-20 just not the whole thing again I don’t have the time at the moment.

Thanks for the advice people

Latts Razzi as Poison Ivy, Aurra Sing as Harley Quinn and Zam Wesell as Catwoman.

Anyone wanna share what it was like living in the time of the Special Editions? For me, I didn't get to see them in theaters (even though I was old enough to by then) but I wish I could go back and relive that hype all over again!

I personally feel bad for any Star Wars fans that has never read, The Darth Plagueis novel, Labrythn of Evil or any of the "proper" prequels era content. The depth of the politics, the depictions of the Jedi order under the shroud of the sith. The characterizations of everyone is far far superior. Not to mention, that is where the only substantial content explaining the intricate politics and plot lines of the Clone Wars - the separatists, the laws that allowed Palpatine to rise to power are from. After reading Plagues, Cloak of Deception, Maul Endgame, The novelizations of phantom menace attack of the clones labryth of evil - shatter point - dark rendevous, and the ROTS novelization - dark lord - Kenobi. Can say that I deeply understand the story the lore deeper than most Star Wars fans. This is true high fantasy / science fiction. Same goes for the comics of this era - detailing the intricacies of Palpatine's plot etc. The characterization of maul etc. It's all brilliant. Not to mention James Luceno - writing rogue ones catalyst - serving as a plagueis style political thriller leading into Rogue One. These books serve as the backbone of the prequels and its actual story. I strongly strongly recommend for anyone who considers themselves a true starwars fan. To put down the flanderizations of these characters, the tropes, and to read the true story. - TRUST ME. This reading order will change your entire perspective of Star Wars. I never thought I would think that the novelizations are the only way to consume the prequels properly but it's true. These books told the story with character development and proper pacing - something the movies blazed through. When you read them in this order you realize how it's one continuous story meant to be consumed this way. ROTS would have benefited greatly from Labryth and Phantom Menace from Plagueis reframing it as the finale to that book and establishing the lore of the chosen one before introducing Anakin.

For anyone attempting this reading order: you can skip cloak of deception without diluting (in my opinion)

Always wanted the smooth swing effects and clashes as an app, so I made one! It’s called Kyber — the whole project is a love letter to Star Wars, did my best to replicate accurately the wipes, the credits, intro etc…

Sebulba's dialogue in Galactic Racer about him got me thinking about that. I imagine the grander story would be different in a lot of ways, but Anakin's own personal life feels like the most interesting aspect of this hypothetical.

Don’t get me wrong. I love this fight. I love the drama, the action, the music.

I just have always wondered why Vader was fighting so badly after Luke gave into his anger on the second Death Star.

During their fight on Cloud City, Vader effortlessly dominated the fight. On the Death Star, the two were more on equal footing (for the most part), but Vader still gave him a fight. However, once Luke gives into his anger and attacks out of rage, Vader rather instantly gets forced onto the defense and doesn’t try to take back control. He just keeps backing up and rather weakly swings his saber at Luke.

I know Vader had to lose, but is there an in-universe, explanation for why his swordsmanship suddenly turned so poor?

Been wanting to film this transition for YEARS and finally did after getting new parts for my outfit

My mistake i kept it in sunlight and it's eyes have turned yellowish brown , pls I want some serious answers

I was also thinking of adding the son, the daughter, and the father or swapping out some jedi.

I don’t even think he would make it to 70 ngl. That suit was barely keeping him alive. And honestly I think he just lost years off his life with those injuries. I’d give him 20 years at the very best. It’s honestly impressive he made it to 45. I don’t think most people would have.

I’m also curious why so many Niman users died during Geonosis it can’t just be because the blaster fire coming from all the droids made the form inefficient.

I have edited who I would choose to be a good voice actor for ultron. If the audio sounds a bit off in some clips, it is because across the two shows he is in, the computer effects on his voice changed.
General Kalani was a separatist super tactical droid which served during the clone wars. Upon being issued a shutdown command, he rejected it assuming it was a republic trick, thus surviving into the galactic civil war. I think his voice would fit perfectly for Ultron.

His voice actor is Gregg Berger, who is also the voice of Grimlock in the original transformers.

When I first saw it in the theater, I thought they were just another alien species to move the plot along, but they're really kinda funny, and they're Grogu-sized so he can have some friends and go on a rescue mission.

We also learn the Star Wars universe curse word, Dank Farrik.

My budget Luke Skywalker cosplay that I debuted at Tucson Comiccon this year

I didn't really care about Aldersaan getting destroyed in ANH and all the billions killed nor the Hosnian System ( I think that's close enough) in TFA.

Han was a little saddening maybe and I think Ben was a shock to young me 40 odd years ago.

However I think it's the Ewok and his mate trying to get him to move in ROTJ that is saddest.

Thoughts ?

I started writing my characters using ISP’s but those are for swampy terrain so it makes me wonder what would be a good alternative land craft to traverse a forestry area?

What options exist for travel besides speeders and are still somewhat fast?
