Apparently someone else kind of important is coming to Rebels sometime this season.

Saw (along with quite a bit of Rebels stuff I believe) was originally conceived for the shelved live-action series
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Underworld
which they'd apparently written 50 episodes of before it was canned
― Number None, Wednesday, 4 January 2017 18:26 (seven years ago) link
I have no idea if that would have been any good
There was a video game in development that was canned that looked great in promos and there's a rumor they're giving the property to another studio?

a small suggestion: first line could potentially change to "I'm cremated on Mustafar" but that might not scan so well and it's great as is

You literally spent like what 15 minutes on that? And it's great!! So much better than those Rap Battle videos that I can't even look up on youtube right now because I'm at work, but they keep having Vader battle Hitler and it's so bad.

As someone who has devoted upwards of fifteen minutes to Eminem lyrics parody ILX posts in the past, and who in high school contemplated forming an anime-themed song parody act as a DragonCon-ready money-making scheme, I endorse Old Lunch's work and reject all comparisons to awful YouTube channels, name-branded geek parody operations, and DragonCon-ready money-making schemes.

Speaking of videos, I assume this from a few weeks back was shared, which I must share again due to Ben Mendelsohn's none-more-Oz approach to a lot of this. I assume it will fill VG with thoughts of home.

The girl in Tracer Hand's video is right that there are bad things about this film, and I'm quite convinced by some of her observations; but she should put it on a relevant scale of comparison, like ... maybe ... other Star Wars films since 1983 or 1980. It's not going to be THE PHILADELPHIA STORY.
― the pinefox, Monday, 9 January 2017 13:00 (seven years ago) link
The only part I disagreed with was that characters have to have an arc in order for the viewer to care about them (which is not always true) and then the rest of her arguments are all predicated on that.

I saw this yesterday. It was okay. Just another movie. I liked Ben Mendelsohn and the visual of the Star Destroyer over the Jedha plateau.
― jmm, Monday, 9 January 2017 18:40 (seven years ago) link
xxp the complaint about the characters all dying in similar ways is stupid. It's a war movie. It's like complaining about all the characters in Saving Private Ryan getting shot or blown up. That's . . .how wars work?
― Lauren Schumer Donor (Phil D.), Monday, 9 January 2017 18:43 (seven years ago) link
I think her long painstaking complaint video is very odd because she's some kind of big STAR WARS fan, and however poor it is, this is the best STAR WARS film in over 30 years ... I mean, does she have even longer and more detailed videos complaining about every other STAR WARS film since 1980 or so? Maybe she should just ... consider that she perhaps doesn't like STAR WARS that much?
― the pinefox, Monday, 9 January 2017 18:52 (seven years ago) link
I'm entirely in favour of detailed complaint videos. This is what the internet is for.
― jmm, Monday, 9 January 2017 19:06 (seven years ago) link
Why are STAR WARS films set off by themselves in this way though? It seems like a weird boundary to draw around something. Why not compare them to other action-adventure movies generally? One thing RLM did that I liked was bringing in things like Star Trek (2009) or the sword fight in Die Another Day to say, look, there are more interesting and exciting ways of shooting things like crises in space or lightsaber duels. I feel like when people go to see things like Fast and the Furious they are comfortable saying they liked the action better in Mission Impossible (or whatever).
Plus until last year all the STAR WARS films since Jedi were terrible, something acknowledged by a great number of STAR WARS fans, so insisting that they be accepted as a standard seems like a really really low bar, idk.
― mega pegasus for reindeer (Doctor Casino), Monday, 9 January 2017 19:13 (seven years ago) link
yeah that's a ridiculous argument. I won't be watching the video, but it's perfectly reasonable to judge Rogue One by standards other than its quality relative to other Star Wars movies. Might as well just give up and go home otherwise. Although...
― Number None, Monday, 9 January 2017 19:16 (seven years ago) link
I think I was saying, she seems to be coming on as a big STAR WARS fan, but she doesn't like the best recent SW film, so maybe she should rethink her starting point.
Maybe I have misunderstood and she doesn't actually like SW much, and the droid in the background etc is just a one-off joke for this video.
I think it's OK for people who don't like SW to criticize SW, and compare it unfavourably to other films, if they want.
Is she RLM? I don't know her name, haven't seen her before.
― the pinefox, Monday, 9 January 2017 19:33 (seven years ago) link
maybe she likes star wars in a different way than you like star wars
― difficult listening hour, Monday, 9 January 2017 19:34 (seven years ago) link
