Luke didn't have to hear R2, a translation pops up on his console.

When he's not in his ship, he can only understand the droid thru tone.

"If you're saying coming here was a bad idea, I'm beginning to agree with you."

He understood those bleeps and bloops, he was just gaslighting R2 like a dick

Dicklighting

Hammer Smashed Bagels, Friday, 30 October 2015 01:08 (eight years ago) link

One thing about the Despecialized versions is that you can see far more errors, especially after watching the blooper reels. Fr'stance, the hooded PA crouched behind R2 at the Jawa sale and who had to give the droid a push, since they apparently didn't account for wheels on desert

The cut scenes are klunky as fuuuuuck, but they set up a lot of shit about Luke well, so his immediate jump to hyper-excitement when C3P0 mentions the Rebellion is far more of a piece when you've seen the interaction with Biggs mentioning his plans to go AWOL from the Academy to join the other side.

"Tibanna Gas-mining" is the preferred in-universe term, I believe

Luke actually doesn't understand language, he just forms vowel and consonant shapes that get mistaken for monologue

All of these people dressing up as these new Star Wars characters for Halloween will be really embarrassed if this movie is all about racists

Spencer Chow, Saturday, 31 October 2015 16:59 (eight years ago) link

Or if the characters turn out to be really into bestiality

Hammer Smashed Bagels, Saturday, 31 October 2015 17:01 (eight years ago) link

The hero of the prequels was a mass murderer of children, didn't really cause much shame at halloween

Citation required that anyone ever went out as Anakin for Halloween.

Andrew Farrell, Saturday, 31 October 2015 19:20 (eight years ago) link

You do realize that Darth Vader and Anakin are the same person

El Tomboto, Saturday, 31 October 2015 19:53 (eight years ago) link

But also people dress as the Grim Reaper during Halloween, so no idea where this "shame for killing fictional children!" idea comes from

El Tomboto, Saturday, 31 October 2015 19:56 (eight years ago) link

Wasn't Darth Vader the hero of the original movies?

You couldn't see it but a single tear rolled down Vader's cheek inside his mask as he whispered "for the children..."

two boys (6 and 4) watched star wars for the first time last night. they get super excited when vader steps on ben's mysteriously empty robes and they turn to me, eyes shining: "he's faking, daddy! obi wan's not dead!" and well, it is a pretty mysterious thing, the empty robes, isn't it? it's never explained, never spelled out.

I have just spent far too long going through that Reddit on JarJar Binks. There's a very great deal of circumstantial evidence to back it up, including some animation shots that make little sense if it isn't true.

suffeeciant attreebution (aldo), Monday, 2 November 2015 14:11 (eight years ago) link

my take on that is trying to discern the motives of something that makes no goddamn sense lends itself well to complex conspiracy theory
BUT IF IT'S TRUE i take it all back

Friend told me there's some new comic or series that tries to explain all the weird shifts between the first movie and Empire, like how Vader went from underling flying his own plane to evil leader, or how he couldn't even sense he had a daughter, etc .

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 2 November 2015 14:43 (eight years ago) link

Yeah, the new(er) Marvel series, which by all reports are great

Purves Grundy (kingfish), Monday, 2 November 2015 15:49 (eight years ago) link

Vader ends up using a black market weapons specialist to get some shady side work done and she has a pair of killer droids, coincidentally a protocol droid/astromech pair, who were decommissioned because they love murdering more than anything else

μpright mammal (mh), Monday, 2 November 2015 16:00 (eight years ago) link

it is interesting watching the first one how Peter Cushing calls the shots and tells Vader what to do and Leia even mocks Vader for it to his face

fell in love with Leia all over again obv

Jar Jar's the key to all of this.

jmm, Monday, 2 November 2015 17:49 (eight years ago) link

how heartbreaking would it be to feel like you had to walk away from such an awesome plot twist. no wonder george cashed in his chips after it was over.

slam dunk, Monday, 2 November 2015 17:53 (eight years ago) link

Consider: We hate the way Jar Jar influences major plot points for the same reason we hate his physicality- it messes with our sense of realism. Two experienced Jedi on a serious mission would never actually bring someone that stupid along with them. No character that idiotic would ever really be made a general. They certainly wouldn't be made a senator. How could anyone like Jar Jar really convince the entire galaxy to abandon democracy? That's ridiculous.

These things are just the political version of his physical "luck." Inadvertent, seemingly comical bumbling that just so happens to result in astoundingly positive results. But what if it isn't inadvertant, and what if Jar Jar's meteoric rise and inexplicable influence isn't the result of dumb happenstance, but the result of extensive and careful use of force mind powers?

I love this argument. The other characters' tolerance of Jar Jar is so inexplicable that it could only be Sith mind control!

Maybe Gungans are naturally selected for luckiness like that girl in Ringworld.

Resting Bushface (Phil D.), Monday, 2 November 2015 18:32 (eight years ago) link

one of the recent comics implied that Palpatine had orders that went into effect if he were to die

one of the first tasks was the razing of the planet Naboo

COINCIDENCE?

There is a lot of room for speculation about what the hell the Emperor was up to by the Return of the Jedi era. Vader was pretty much done with his killing of all jedi, with the exception of that Skywalker pet project, and the Imperial military was just building a second Death Star? He seemed like a dude who would have more than one iron in the fire, so what else was he out doing before he checked on Vader? Presumably not just reading diplomatic updates.

according to Wikis he was writing textbooks

I just discovered that there were three year gaps between the prequels - in my mind they were all produced together and released yearly.

He's doing a whole bunch of nothing between the prequels and A New Hope; and presumably more of the same in between, albeit with extra tactical concerns after Yavin. Gradually losing his mind, to the extent that he was eventually blown up by his own apprentice after a pathetic failed attempt to turn a relative child, full of hubris, blah blah blah. Classic Nero villainy. His answer to the disaster in A New Hope is to order the acceleration of Death Star #2 (presumably it was already in the works, I mean why only build one) like that solves your real problem. The strategic naval trap he sets up sucks, he still doesn't have any better kung fu that he did when he nearly got killed by Mace Windu, and he's completely unable to prevent his own death via Force 101 maneuvers that are clearly part of the repertoire of every other Jedi in the series.

Guy jerked off for three decades and some change. His uselessness is even more of an argument for Jar Jar Supreme.
