Star Wars Universe Thread: May The 4th Be With You

[lamekilla]

Prequels aren’t bad, they’re just made for a different generation. The Star Wars elitist who stood in line to watch Empire will never let you forget it. It’s gonna be the same for the sequel trilogy as well

 

[Mark Antony]

Ain't it like 50-60 years later? Which old *** character are you looking forward to?

 

[Mark Antony]

The prequels were bad. Not the premise, but the bad acting (from good actors), bad directing, extreme reliance on green screen, some awful characters, glaring potholes etc. I've noticed in bad movie discussions some people legitimately can't recognize these things, but don't be upset at the ones that can organically.

It's tough for me to watch Ep. I & II.

Th only part I like from TPM is the final duel.

The only parts I like from AOTC are the Jango Fett parts and anything from Geonosis on, so the last 20 minutes

I'm fine with everything ROTS and after though.

Got Columbia jacket email this morning. They did a Rogue One series last time which was decent. This is Empire Strikes Back-Echo Base series:

I liked the battle of Geonosis, until Yoda started jumpin around vs the 82 year old Sith, then I was just annoyed.

But the start of the war itself was pretty cool. Seein the army of Jedi was pretty cool. (I'll try to pretend I didn't see dozens of them die at the hands of worthless bugs, cuz, ya know, well trained Jedi direct from the academy are that easy to kill, but whatever.....)

The first movie was just Maul, the second was Jango and some of Geonosis, the third was the opening scene, the Obi-Wan/Anakin duel, the Emperor vs Yoda was pretty good, seeing Anakin placed inside the suit was breathtaking, and some of the Grievous stuff was pretty cool. Basically about 2 hours out of the 7 or so is all I can live with. And almost all of that 2 hours is in the 3rd film.

Any info as to what the jackets are going to look like? I was upset I missed the Cassian Parka because it sold out really quick.

 

[shogun]

Those jackets were cool.

 

[Sinner]

Didn't know there was gonna be a new collection...

this take is so terrible it's comical. TFA alone was >>>>>>> The prequel trilogy. And The Last Jedi is definitely going to be thru the roof.

Just made for a different generation.

A person who weighs getting the characters right over plot most likely they won't like the prequels.

If you enjoy plot more than true 100000% accurate characterizations, most likely you can sift through the crud and see the beauty in the prequels.

I'm still trying to track down that Deathtrooper jacket

 

[CP1708]

Anyone ever see, or get ahold of a Darth Revan or Admiral Thrawn Black Series? I haven't seen a single one, anywhere.

 

[...So]

[jaypesoz]

Elaborate on this.

Spoiler

His Pops found Phasma and became his favorite Soldier. Phasma always cleans up loose ends though and didn't want anyone to know where she comes from, so she kills him on the low anyway. Some guy finds out and tells Hux and he pretty much knew but didn't care.

I'm just curious to see what his motivation is, especially since he only answers to Snoke

This was the text/pics in email:

I'm still trying to track down that Deathtrooper jacket

Thought about it at the time and passed cause jacket was only a plasticky raincoat fabric. Sat for a long time on website. The Cassian one was definitely more hyped. And looked nicely made as the Jyn one.

 

[vegetaray123]

So probably a quilted vest women, a faux fur lined vest for men, and a parka for men...

All in for the Han parka...Any idea on price?

Man, up to a point this year I knew where it could have been had for retail. I wasn't too much a fan seeing how it looked more like a raincoat.

I got both, Revan from Dorksidetoys (I preordered the entire wave), and Thrawn from Target. Haven't picked up any BS in a while though unfortunately. I'm behind, and there are a lot that I've missed out on that I really want.
