Why do people rag on the prequels so much for CG? Why are they allowed to be stupid?

>>83370556
It's the worst meme ever.

>>83370556

Because the CGI looks like shit and there's a lot of it.

There's plenty of model and puppet work too, but the it's all overshadowed by the glaring, obviously bad CG. It's not my job to hunt for the nice model work when it's being drowned out by Clone Troopers and Gungans.

And the green-screen backgrounds make me want to kill myself every time they show up. It's like they're walking through The Lawnmower Man, fucking matte paintings from crappy 80's fantasy movies looked better then the CG background and environment shots.

>>83370556
>Why do people rag on the prequels so much for CG
Because honestly? Some of it was pretty bad. Rewatching it recently makes, mostly the big Naboo fight with Gungans and Droids, a number of things stick out. I never noticed, originally, that the clones were always CGI in terms of group shots and armor, but it was a little more noticeable going in with that.

But like all critiques of Prequels, it takes a pretty valid complaint, and runs it into the ground. Because implying that not everything about the prequels was literally the worst thing ever and that it had any positive qualities is verboten. So the prequels having bad CGI means the films were completely CGI and always looked terrible, despite the originals have their own, even with some practical effects, faults as well.

It's probably a scale thing. The originals are, honestly, pretty sparse movies. Especially A New Hope. A lot of scenes are constrained, the scope, despite the galactic rebellion backdrop, is usually a few dudes in a room. We know from the Remasters, which honestly probably get rolled into the Prequel CGI complaint a lot, that Lucas loved to just have shit everywhere and make things seem larger when he got the chance. CGI just wasn't where it needed to be at the time to make it not look bad.

The Clone Troopers were great CGI though.

Not a single person I have ever talked too could tell they were CGI. They were Mo-capped in Episode 3 too.

People shit on all the bad CGI, but never acknowledge the great CGI and effects. Some of which was groundbreaking at the time, and still looks great today.

Nobody shits on the obvious matte paintings in the Original Trilogy. And this isn't me doing it either. I'm just saying, there's not nearly enough bad effects in any of the movies to take me out of them. Even the Rathtars scene.

I think literally all 7 movies showcased the best special effects of its day. Some hold up better than others, sure. But I've just never thought any of it was that bad at all.

Just me though.

>>83370883

>People shit on all the bad CGI, but never acknowledge the great CGI and effects

Because most of it looks fucking terrible now, outside of the droids.

There's a lot of nice set design and location work at least. The one thing Phantom Menace has over the other two movies is some great, tactile sets, especially on Naboo.

> I'm just saying, there's not nearly enough bad effects in any of the movies to take me out of them

I tried rewatching Sith a few months ago and actively couldn't finish it because of how terrible some of it looked. That film is dripping in terrible green-screen and awful CGI.

Drew's the guy that first said there were problems with BVS and that the studio was worried about how it would perform with audiences

In the case of Rogue One, what I’ve heard is that they are not test-screening the film at all, nor do they have any plans to test screen the film. Everything that’s being done is being done because Lucasfilm and Disney screened the film internally, discussed it with Gareth Edwards, and then came up with a plan to figure out how to land every punch that the film means to throw. I hear that the film right now is good, but they want great. They don’t want to launch the Star Wars Story brand with a good film; they want to launch it with a film that is embraced warmly by fandom, a film that proves that you don’t have to tell the main Skywalker story to do something great in the larger Star Wars universe. This explains the recent announcement to push Godzilla 2 back a bit. Edwards will no doubt be working right up to the moment he delivers Rogue One for release, which isn’t unusual for a Star Wars film. JJ Abrams and his team were making pretty massive creative decisions about the movie right up until the moment the film had to lock print no matter what. In fact, every Star Wars film has taken advantage of some degree of additional photography, and George Lucas was careful to build in time for that after he finished his first cut of each of the prequels. Regardless of how well you think that worked out, Lucas did that because he could, and because he had faith that he could add value to the films using that extra shooting time.

>>83371100
>I still don't buy Deadline's version of the story, with Alden Ehrenreich shooting a Han Solo cameo for this one. I think that's Mike Fleming connecting dots that aren't there and then hoping that if he says it enough times, it comes true. When it comes to why they're doing this, though, the mere fact that they're doing it should be encouraging. If you really don’t think a film works at all, you don’t schedule this type of surgical reshoots. This is the Rogue One team working to deliver a film that rewards all the excitement and enthusiasm that greeted the first teaser trailer for the movie. I’ve embedded that at the top of this piece. Look at it again. Imagine what the best version of that movie might be. That’s the film that Gareth Edwards and Lucasfilm hope to deliver to you, and this additional photography is just a chance for them to get closer to that target.

Goddamn, we can't have a thread without trolls starting it off.

>>83371119
>all the excitement and enthusiasm that greeted the first teaser trailer for the movie
People like it that much? I thought they were a bunch of cool shots but all the dialogue and story beats came across terribly.

>>83371160

>People like it that much?

Not really. The reaction has been pretty muted, as you'd expect for a trailer that tells almost nothing about the movie.

>>83370556
Because people like to jump on the bandwagon. Some of the CGI only became a problem for me when I rewatched them in HD. Took me that long to actually realise that the clone troopers were all CGI because to me they looked more real than actual people. In the end effects shouldn't bother people this much because it's not real in the first place. People have no problem watching cartoons but lose their shit when it comes to live action films.

Dude, they're stealing the technical schematics of the Death Star to give to the rebel alliance, there is nothing fun about a movie that's going to be about it ending with the rebel crew dead and the only ones that have the plans is a couple of droids that escaped from Vader's siege.

To think, we were getting a gritty "Saving Private Ryan" approach to this movie. Tell me when the novel is coming out, that might be better than what we're now getting.

Disney can make movies that can be heartwarming and have sadness in them as well. But for some reason(Marketability and profit) they're changing a serious movie about a group of rebels stealing the plans to the DS and want the thing to be lighthearted and fits the tone of Star Wars. Whatever the hell that means, which I'm guessing more family oriented and whimsical.

Unfortunately, spy missions aren't all that whimsical to begin with, and dealing with a totalitarian government that spans the galaxy would make it even less so.

This is the Suicide Squad thing all over again.

And considering how deathly humorless both Monsters and Godzilla were, adding some humour isn't a bad idea. Though I know you're not allowed to say that on the Internet anymore, because saying "they could add some humor" is clearly the same thing as "I want it to be a MCU comedy with no stakes."

We all know there's literally no middle ground, right? It's actually impossible for a film to have some jokes but still be fairly serious. Never been made before in the entire history of film.

>>83374742
It's honestly probably different departments. Sure, there's an executive, executive group of executives who have to be "in control" of everything because of the massive amount of money being thrown around (and their Illuminati shadow masters are in control of them and all movie reviewers), but with Disney's sheer breadth of operations, there's no way the group can manage every brand on this level.

What it is, I'm sure, is there's a bunch of suits in charge of the "proper" Disney movies (the ones that count on the List) who go "yeah, yeah, okay, cute, heartwarming, sad, maybe this one is a musical again" and rubberstamp it. Depending on the execs in charge, the particular team actually making the movie, and their ability to communicate and convince the other party to change their opinion, there may be more or less "meddling." These suits are specifically in charge the Disney animation movies and not things like Marvel or their own growing Live Action adaptation brand.

Look at the MCU. Disney bought Marvel and publishes the movies, but it's also clear Feige and the rest of the Marvel Movies team are pretty much responsible for most the executive decisions there. I'm not sure we've ever heard a story about Disney coming from on high to point a finger and say "change it."

Who knows where the executive meddling is with Star Wars and Lucasfilm in general? Do they see Star Wars not as the expansive brand it is but as a simple and uniform Science Fantasy Adventure? Is it middle managers in Disney, or do the actual top execs want one of their own keeping on eye on everything? Did Lucasfilm not already have people in this position like with MCU familiar with the brand, so Disney installed their own, unfamiliar, execs to handle everything? Was Edwards actually completely cocking everything up? I'm sure the details will come out more and more over time.

Hollywood changed the game decades ago and now instead of movies being made by directors and producers, they're made by committees and execs in suits that want to make the most money out of a movie by making it easy to follow by the masses as well as keeping it relatively cheap. Star Wars IP is lucrative and they're gonna milk it until its dry and wear the skin once it's a dried out husk.

Storygrouyp is getting weaker by the day and pretty soon, Execs are going to be in control even further. But hey, Star Wars made Disney billions of dollars, let's be proud of that.

Why do you always have to be so retarded? In fact, I'm going to prove you wrong. Let's look at three things. The ONLY concern companies have is to make as much money as possible. So let's look at what movies made the most money.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films#Highest-grossing_franchises_and_film_series
Okay, the first one is Marvel, now owned by disney and the jews. The second one is YA novels, and the third one is James Bond because there's a million of those movies.
> because saying "they could add some humor" is clearly the same thing as "I want it to be a MCU comedy with no stakes."
That's exactly what it means. If x movie franchise makes money, or rather, makes the most money, other companies copy said thing. If quips, no stakes, and shitty movies make the most money, that's what they'll copy.
>We all know there's literally no middle ground, right?

Yes anon, I'm sure they went to Gareth Edwards, a man who's only two previous movies were deathly serious and dour character dramas and told him to remove everything deathly serious and character-drama related. Adding some humor is not the same thing as RUINED FOREVER

Also I know /swco/ likes to pretend TFA was the worst Star Wars thing ever made, but it was hardly quip-laden and removed of all stakes the way a MCU move was. A handful of jokes does not make it a quip-fest.

>There isn't. It's all about the numbers. They're not interested in making good movies and never have been.

Hint, it's the one with the least amount of money being thrown at it.

>>83375252
I like Rebels. It's not getting the same amount of attention that the movies are getting, which means less fuckery by Disney execs

>>83375070
Are they actually "executives," in that vague way we use to describe suits who can actually, legally, make shit happen? I suppose that's what you're saying you don't know.

My point was more that it's quite likely the headest of head Disney people aren't directly managing Rogue One, but a chain of go betweens, and they have multiple chains for multiple properties. Meaning some get lighter touches and some get more, depending on the particular dynamics of the suits and artists involved. Some have more familiar, long term relationships with a better idea of the brand, some have little idea and a constrained view. Some are more open, some don't care.

And it depends on what their marching orders from each of their heads. The top guys may just say "make us that money, don't care how, as long as dead hookers don't end up in the news." And then someone in the middle says "we make money by making Star Wars movies" and then someone below them goes "okay, we'll make a bunch of different movies to cover background stuff, so we can milk the brand without pumping out a new numbered version every year. Hire some new hit directors." Then someone below him hires Edwards and lets him do his thing. Then someone else, maybe the exec above him again or maybe just another exec with similar authority, goes "wait, we need to make this more Star Wars. Do some reshoots to add "adventure" to it." Each one reports "missions accomplished" to the dude above them, who goes "k, but if I find out you fucked this up, I'm coming for you." So they work double hard to do what they can to try and appease the guy above them.

It's a long chain of telephone and people trying to accomplish whatever odd goal they've been given to satisfy the guy above them or the committee around them who is trying to satisfy the guys and comittees above them.

>>83375252

Since the disney buyout, I've approached every individual title with skepticism. As it stands thus far, only TFA has let me down. The people behind the comics, novels have done mostly good. And Rebels has been great, and I'm a bit ashamed to have had doubt in it with Filoni behind it. I was afraid it was gonna be only 'muh OT', but it isn't. It pays well deserved homage to the PT and to TCW.

I wouldn't say that. TFA was a better actual movie than any of the prequels. For fuck's sake, the dialog in the prequels is so laughable, Ewan McGregor had to cover his mouth when he said "He... killed younglings" because it's such a dumb line who couldn't stop smiling. None of the CGI sticks out as bad as the prequels, as overblown as that complaint is (this is more due to time than anything attributable to the quality of the movie making enterprise as whole). I'd say there's about the same amount of unnecessary planet hopping, but I think they kept it to a more satisfactory degree than TPM, at least. 3 major set pieces is about usual for Star Wars.

What they are is criminally uncreative movies. Literally the only interesting thing done with them is Finn, who's just "what if a Stormtrooper got fed up and left?," which, to greater or lesser extents, has been done a lot already in the EU. Everyone else, pretty much everyTHING else, is a blatant rehash and remix of stuff from the OT. Nothing actually interesting to work with.

And what the fuck was up with Snoke? How fucking uncreative do you have to be to make a Palpatine knock off that looks like a LotR orc? Jesus fucking christ. The entire breadth of the Star Wars universe of colorful, interesting looking aliens, and we get this abortion of a design? And he has, what, the one not shit hologram projector in the entire galaxy too? It's just dumb.

I enjoyed it more when I watched it than any Prequel, but the prequels had actual cool idea and brought something of their own to the table, if terribly, terribly executed. The old, and some of the new, EU bore that out. We'll see if anything of equal quality can be spun out of TFA's retreading of ANH.

The only thing Hollywood knows how to make is Oscar-bait and Blockbusters, even then they can't get it right most of the time. Hollywood is a gilded apple full of nepotism and bad decisions. The Sony emails were just the tip of the iceberg.

Well, if you're comparing a bad movie to a bad movie it doesn't matter which one is "best" does it? In my opinion they're equally bad. The prequels just wins out because they had epic music. TFA had nothing I cared about.

It can be a war movie and still have jokes, that's not mutually exclusive. Hell, the kinds of movies Rogue One is clearly based of of, the old WW2 war films, had plenty of humor and one-liners in them.

Go watch The Dirty Dozen or Where Eagles Dare one day, you'll be surprised at how funny they are.

>>83375070
The Story Group are put together by Kathleen Kennedy, who is in charge of Lucasfilm. She's pretty much given them the thumbs up to manage the overall Canon across all the media. Each writer and director still has freedom to come up with whatever they like, as long as the LSG doesn't deem it retarded or contradictory with their Canon, which I doubt has really happened so far.

Last Celebration, some writers talked about the LSG's influence, and so far, only minor things like alien races have been altered. I remember one writer said that the LSG would ask for things to be included that wouldn't even make sense for a long time, because they want to keep everything connected and consistent.

This is showing off well in Rebels, what with it's connections to the Kanan comic, Lords of the Sith, A New Dawn, ect.

The understanding was that Lucasfilm would have the freedom to make Star Wars how they wanted, and as far as we know, there hasn't been any meddling from Disney until now. They played nice and let Lucasfilm/JJ do their thing.

So until now, most everybody looked to the Directors/LSG as being in charge of Star Wars. I think we all knew Disney would meddle eventually, but I am surprised it could be so soon. I kind of hoped Lucas would have made sure that his contract protected Lucasfilm from being raped by Disney. We don't know to what extent the r-eshoots are though. For all we know, it could have been a very willing choice from Gareth or Kathleen, and only suggestions from Disney?

But I digress.

The fact that they've cancelled an upcoming comic, supposedly because of this, feels like the LSG are damage controlling to keep Canon consistent, due to changes to Rogue One. Of course, I could be wrong there, just making guesses based on the little info we know.

>TFA was a better actual movie than any of the prequels. For fuck's sake, the dialog in the prequels is so laughable
Are you serious? I know the dialogue in the prequels were off but TFA was really bad too. "You need a teacher! I can show you the ways of the Force!" Jesus. I couldn't stop laughing because this was spoken after he got his ass kicked by a girl. Then you have Poe and Finn's chat on the fighter, the guys on the freighter, Maz's talk with Rey... I could go on.

>None of the CGI sticks out as bad as the prequels
Really? At least with the prequels it actually matched the surroundings because there was that much of it. TFA balanced it really badly like that opening shot with the extremely shiny ships boarding on Jakku then in the next shot you seen the obvious still X-wing fighter. It stood out more because they tried too hard to mix in the practical sets and costumes. That's why people complained about Maz because she was the only CGI character in the room. There are plenty of other times when the CGI was jarring, like Snoke, the final star fighter battle, the creatures chasing after the crew, Star Killer base exploding, the republic worlds getting destroyed etc.

Let's say Ashoka actually takes Vader up on his offer to join the dark side. Does Vader train her as an Inquisitor or as a secret Sith apprentice to help overthrow Sheev?

>>83377062
Yeah dude. Sure.

>>83377062
Probably a "Secret" Apprentice, but it's not like Sheev wouldn't have seen it coming though.

>>83377062
Probably the latter since Ahsoka is a great fighter and force user. Sure, she's no Star Killer but she held her own against Darth Vader.

>>83376996

She's actually a crime lord and she runs the place. Think about it. Imagine how many bodies criminals must put to the ground. But instead they give loot\bodies to Maz so she can chop them up and sell them in her butcher store. That's why there's so many flags. They're flags of defeated enemies and it's a warning to everyone not to fuck with Maz 'Orange" Kanata.

She said she was no Jedi and we DO know cultures that know of the Force, even use it, but are neither Jedi or Sith. Even Zeb's people rely on the Force and they don't even call it the Force. Turns out it has many names across the galaxy.

>I somehow have Anakin's lightsaber that was lost on Bespin for no discernable reason
She did say it was a story for another time.

>I also run a criminal joint full of retched scum and villainy. but I'm a good person
She's over a thousand years old. She did the pirate stuff in her rowdy centuries. Now she's retired runs a bar out of her place (hardly some vast criminal enterprise), surrounded by the treasures that are the memories of her past exploits. Hondo probably would have wound up doing the same if the Empire hadn't destroyed his operation and all his men.

She doesn't seem to be an active criminal. She's just running a bar out of her old castle. It's open to all as long as they leave their politics at the door (that worked wonders).

People seem to have this view of her as a Mafia Don who owns and operates a "family style restaurant for the discerning type customer" and after a big meal of spaghetti talk about who they are gonna whack and by whack I mean sexually stimulate to death. Just seems like she's just open to having old friends and new show up, enjoy a drink and stories, the more embellished the better.

>>83377594

No, they hired them because they're famous for taking doomed projects and making them work.

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs, 21 Jump Street and The Lego Movie should all have been terrible movies, but they all worked. Now they're being applied to another seemingly doomed project.

>>83377588
Where's that gif of George Lucas raping Indiana Jones? We need to superimpose the Mouse logo on that.

I'm pretty sure Maz being "in love" with Chewie is just a joke between friends and nothing more.

I mean, I have two friends (who are not in a relationship, just friends) whose in-joke is they're the parents of a ginger cat ('cause one of the two is a souless red-head), so why not.

No, but she's obviously a copy of Yoda, which is cool in my opinion, even if it's lazy as fuck. My problem with it is that Yoda was a jedi master so it makes sense he can live on his own in a seemingly very dangerous place and survive. Maz runs a joint filled with criminals and honestly, who normal person goes to a place like that unless they want to get robbed\killed? Nobody, that's who. But if she is a criminal then it suddenly makes sense.
>Just seems like she's just open to having old friends and new show up, enjoy a drink and stories, the more embellished the better.

Well she's small and old and wise, but let's be honest being old can lend itself to being small and wise.

I think she's more a pastiche between Yoda and Lando. She's old and wise, but not meant to train anyone. Just facilitate their journey. She also operates a less than legal establishment (she has no problems serving criminals as long as they don't bring their work into her place). She didn't betray them but someone in her bar did, and afterward she helps them.

Of course she's not a direct copy of either, just elements, and sometimes inverted. Luke lost his saber at Lando's, Maz gives that same saber to the heroes to deliver back to Luke.

>>83375711
Princess Leia was't great, and I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it to people, but I wouldn't call it bad either. It didn't do anything overly offputting, not in the way, say, Aftermath was.

It actually had some decent contributions to the new canon, albeit just bits and pieces here. The Alliance had other bases beyond Yavin and Ackbar was already a big man in the Rebellion. The Empire was planning on wiping out the surviving Alderaanians, all of them. Leia decides to get the band back together as best she can. There is actually a New Alderaan somewhere, or at least a flotilla of Alderaanian ships hiding from the Empire. We had Alderaanian cultural group who tuned out to be assholes and spies for some reason. Leia gave her mother's bling to Nien Nunb. Artoo got a bunch of Stormtroopers eaten by creatures who actually just wanted the minerals in their armor.

At worst it failed to capitalize on it's good points and was just boring. Shattered Empire did a much better job and it was told in single-issue vignettes each showcasing a different adventure. Really liked those creepy monk droids Sidious has spreading his contingency orders to ensure he has his revenge in case of his death.

>glaring, obviously bad CG
This is such a nitpicking complaint. I never hear people bitch about Gollum and he's extremely dated and so are the Wargs, Orcs some of the action scenes in Lord Of The Rings. It's just dated but it was cutting edge at it's release. People didn't even know the Clones were CGI.

Dumbasses think it looks like a video game. This is what videogame CG looked like at the time. They weren't fluid or filled with motion just talking blocks.

>>83379646
The fun thing is a lot of people who complain about the bad cgi often pick out the wrong parts, proving they don't even KNOW what parts of the movie are CGI to begin with. Like the columns in the Jedi Temple that turned out to be a matte painting but we've had people swear up and down were "PS2 level CGI".

I'm inclined towards the opinion here myself >>83371500 because heavens forbid the effects in the Prequels don't look convincing when shown in a video definition they weren't intended for.

People still don't know that the Clones are CGI and they believe that sets and pieces like the ships, cities like Naboo and the Chancellor's office are all CGI. What's ironic is that these people actually believe that nearly everything in TFA are practical. Remember the static X-wing and Falcon model we saw? They literally only use them in a couple of shots. The same goes with BB-8.

>>83379851

All this Rogue One hearsay has me feeling kinda dismal. I mean...if every Sequel era movie is going to follow the same formula as Ep. VII, then the future feels kinda disappointing. JJ set the tone for this new era and it makes me so damn sad that Disney is going to push the style he set down.

Not just in terms of tone, but in directing, concept, cinematography, and design. And that fucking sucks.

I can only hope that when Rebels ends its run, Filoni is put in charge of doing a show set between the OT and ST era. And that's where he puts all his old-EU love letters, as he fills in the blanks during that time period.

Or he recanonizes Shadows of the Empire. That'd be cool.

We really don't need every Star Wars movie to be like The Force Awakens.

Fine if they want to keep the "main stories" in a similar tone, but keep the anthologies out that.
Let them be their own works of arts have the directors put their own twists on Star Wars.

If you don't go see it you better work on a damn good excuse as to why not. Fanbases are rabid these days, and worse, sensible and reasonable discussion of anything popular is thrown out the window in favor of talking about the various sex/gender-politics the film is representing.

You can already see shades of it by the reaction to Ep. VII. Some people didn't like Ep. 7 because of any number of reasons, but unfortunately one of those reasons was that Rey was a flat character who wasn't that interesting. Next thing you know, a dozen or so web articles calling out the fanbase for being woman hating beta dweebs that just need to get over their entitlement. It's only gotten worse as time has gone on, as evidenced by the Ghostbusters remake.

Now with Rogue One casting a female lead, social media is going to consider any criticism of the film an attack on that one aspect which they think of as a sacred cow.

Get ready for at least a decade of shitty movies you can't say are shit in public, lest you face a social shaming. Except for maybe the Han Solo movie. That one looks like shit, and has a male lead so social media might not defend it as hard.

>>83381436
Why would that card game be canon? It's an expansion pack, from the looks, of an already existing game. It also includes Rogue Squadron in it's "super awesome space ships" role, which is no longer canon as well.

I think he'd take her as an apprentice.
Sheev would undoubtedly put Vader in the same spot he put Ddoku when he learned about Ventress.
The question then isn't about whether or not Vader could destroy Ahsoka, because yeah, easy, but whether or not he could destroy Palpatine. I feel Vader would be more likely to rally against Palpatine in that case than Dooku would.
Having said all that, Ahsoka would probably make a pretty poor Sith apprentice in the long run. We know she can tap into her Dark Side because Anakin isn't the best influence as a master but I'm not really sure that she could ever bring herself to try and destroy Vader and even if she did, I doubt she ever physically could.
Plus, if you throw Luke into the equation, Vader might toss her aside to groom him.

Says the non-fan.

Since 9 year-olds are apparently too old to be trained, what did Jedi decide to do with force-sensitives who found out about their force-sensitivity much later, like late youth or young adulthood? I'd imagine superpowered hormonal adolescents would make easy targets for dark side corruption.

If they didn't acquiesce to Qui-Gon or Obi-wan's wishes, would the council really have let the most force sensitive child in the galaxy return to a shitty life on crime-ridden Tatooine, unattended?

>>83382976

The CGI isn't quite as bad as people say, but when it's bad, it's pretty freaking bad. George has always wanted things to look exactly the way he pictures them in his head, and once CGI was at his disposal, he finally felt like he could do that.

AoTC is the worst example of Lucas' CG obsession. Remember when Mace Windu cuts Jango Fett's head off? They actually CGed the shot of his helmet falling on the ground just because Lucas wanted it to look absolutely perfect.

It looks fake as all shit.

The prequels may not be as bad as people say, but there are some very legitimate complaints, and the overreliance on CG is one of them.

According to some additional fluff, Snoke doesn't have a fixed base of operation but a mobile center of command, so a big starship of some sort may be the "capital".

A capital ship in short.

Can someone actually explain to me why Rogue One, the movie that supposedly ends 10 minutes before episode 4 has more original ship designs in this small spoiler of lego sets then TFA had in it's entire 2.5 hour run?

Is JJ that much of a hack or is this just a preview of how out of touch the Rogue One crew is with the rest of the star wars universe?

Also I'm pretty sick of the special snowflake troopers. I mean really there isn't a single OT stormtrooper in this entire wave of sets. what? But we now have Shoretroopers, for like, shores I guess?

Come back to us George, you're are only hope.

>>83389865

At least some people liked Kylo Ren's landing craft. Can't say I did, I thought the giant wings were ridiculous. I guess JJ wanted it to swoop down from the sky like a vast predatory bird but for a space ship that is a bit goofy looking.

That's odd how nostalgia is his problem when he cribbed most of the plot points from the OT, and wasn't shy about TIEs versus X-Wings all over again.

Still it would make sense they did design some cool shit again considering McCaig was on-board. One of their veteran designers who worked on the PT. I wonder how the design experience sat with the designers given how uninspired a lot of the new ships ended up.

>>83390823

TFA had a shit ton of sweet concept art that didn't make it into the movie.

>>83390889

>>83392077
>>83392099
>>83391990
I can see where they're coming from. The Death Star DID have something to do with Geonosis, after all. But they were already building something big over Geonosis in Rebels, which was likely the Death Star.

Especially since Super Star Destroyers appear to have been something spearheaded by Tagge. Might not, though, may have just been part of Tagge's initiative to bolster the fleet. SSDs WERE mentioned in A New Dawn but curiously given how they were talked about the man may have been referring to just a concept since he mentions they're building Super Star Destroyers and Super Super Star Destroyers. He may have been facetious while ironically mentioning a name that would indeed later be used. Or not.

It's always good to have more droid options. Maybe if they fucked something up with this patch and we all get a 500 crystal payout I might even spring for that card with the B2. Or not. He'll eventually get a wider release.

>>83392456
Actually looking into it Tagge already had an SSD flagship in the Annihilator. I guess he could have had it built since the Death Star was destroyed but I doubt it. I guess it just seemed odd given Tarkin had a standard Impstar as his flagship in Rebels (RIPieces). Vader had a standard one too when Leia was captured but maybe he didn't yet rate a big boy. Which they didn't even bother to send to Hoth.

>>83393974
Let's see how long before he pops up in shipments.

I'm tempted to go for the card as well, but with my luck I'll get the junk pulls each time.

To be clear, the Sidious in this scenario isn't Hillary (who, while vile, is not a keikaku master), the election season itself is Sidious.

They're quality control is usually pretty damn good. I've only ever had a few misprints and missing parts over the years.

In fact I've seen so few misprints I can name them all. I had a cyclops minifig from the blind bags where the dual sided faces weren't exactly opposite, but since he has a head piece it didn't matter. I had several Iron Man figs from Age of Ultron with misaligned eyes, weird in that it happened in several figs. And I had a Chewbacca where the black dots of his eyes weren't aligned with the plastic molded bumps. In other words he had a head sculpt instead of printing on a flat surface and the printing for the eyes had to go exactly on two tiny raised dots, and they'd missed. They sent me a new one free of charge. Not even shipping costs.

I wondered about that. I love how good the people are at Lucasfilm when it comes to recycling. Filoni saying, "Oh you aren't using that? YOINK! MINE NOW!" and so on. They did that more than once in TCWs using Prequel concepts that didn't pan out.

Of course the U-Wing in Rogue One looks nothing like the U-Wing here >>83390948 and that's arguably a better design in Rogue One. Looks like a snowspeeder on steroids, frankly.

Not really. I used to be into Gunpla and slightly into figure collecting. Lego is still plastic crack, no joke, but because of Lego's fundamental reusability and, generally, stylistically simplified nature, it ends up being on the cheaper end of expensive, addiction hobbies.

$100 divided among 903 pieces is about 12 cents a piece. If I recall, that's about the sweet spot of price per piece. I don't know how other hobbies break down, or how you'd even compare it to the ones with are just action figures or statueshit.

>>83397251
>$100 divided among 903 pieces is about 12 cents a piece.
Sorry, that's $110, not 100. The 12 cents a piece thing is still true.

>>83397251
>$100 divided among 903 pieces is about 12 cents a piece. If I recall, that's about the sweet spot of price per piece
This is a Star Wars set so it'll have a licensing markup. For instance 120 bucks can net you a Ninjago set with 1250 pieces:

Iconic? Fuck that, who wouldn't want the All Terrain Donkey Puncher? If they'd deployed these on Endor those Ewoks would have been proper fucked.

Assuming toys may or may not be canon depending on if anyone ever decides to use it in a movie or side material, the First Order likes mini-walkers too.

Yeesh, the textures in 2009 were painfully bad.

There was some lobbying from Wookie Civil Rights activists who thought that scene was in poor taste.

So if the Penguins win the Stanley Cup, will Filoni spare the waifus?

You're gonna have to make a bigger sacrifice.
