Favourite Star wars films/shows

Rip to a legend. He apparently signed off on lucasfilm's use of his voice for AI a few years before he died, so I guess he'll be playing darth vader forever now. (unsettling).
 
So the Acolyte got cancelled. It is very unfortunate that lucasfilm is setting the tone for what stars wars is going to be going forward by bowing down to weird review bombing and fake outrage.

It wasn't perfect but I wanted to see where it would go in a second season. My outlook for the series now is that they will not be able to do anything new and it'll all be rise of the Skywalker style pandering.

I think Star Wars needs to give up on this streaming series thing and try to get back to movies. Just give us more movies. The special effects of a star wars film are always cutting edge, with the maybe exception of Attack of The Clones. It's just a better format. Kenobi, Acolyte, Ahsoka. All would've been better as films, half the valid complaints would disappear with better effects and a trimmed length.

I mean sure, TROS is lampooned for its stuff, but nobody ever says it looks bad. Or drags on too long, the opposite really.

It's not really an apparently, he just said yes. It was only 2 years ago.

It was a mix of archival recordings and some filtering over lines, which, funny enough, is pretty science fantasy. This is like the sole one case scenario I'd say it's warranted. And there's always impersonators like in Jedi Survivor. Really there isn't much more space needed for Vader on screen. I think we've seen enough truly. Unless they go, even harder on the Empire angles...

"Hildebrandt died on October 31, aged 85.

As "the Brothers Hildebrandt", Greg Hildebrandt and his twin Tim were legends of fantasy and science-fiction art. They became famous with their work on the official 1976 J.R.R. Tolkien Calendar, at the time the best-selling calendar ever released, and the warm light of their vision of Middle-earth accompanied many subsequent Tolkien calendars and books. That vision influenced other artists, and their depiction of hobbits having extra-large feet—something not mentioned in the books—became the default even in Peter Jackson's movies decades later.


The Brothers Hildebrandt were chosen to illustrate Star Wars based on the popularity of their calendar work, hired at the last minute to replace a pre-release poster for the movie's 1977 release the studio were unhappy with. Given only 36 hours and reference images that did not include stills of Mark Hamill or Carrie Fisher, they nonetheless managed to create an image that continues being used to promote Star Wars today."

Terrible choice of music. I hope it's just used for the trailer.

 
I do wonder if Disney's gonna drop a new animated series in between Andor season 2 and The Mandalorian movie next summer.
