Yes you did, lol. But yeah go see RPO in IMAX 3D while you still can and stop feeding people who think that TLJ matching ESB's dropoff from SW is a failure and that *TLJ* marked the first appearance of Luke Skywalker in 35 years.

Looks like Spielberg had carte blanche to put as much Star Wars in as he wanted but kept the references more peripheral.

“It was difficult,” Spielberg conceded in an interview with Fandango, “because we were greedy about wanting so many cultural references throughout the ’80s and ’90s. But everybody cooperated. We got 20th Century Fox, and Universal, and Paramount, and Sony, and Disney. Everybody basically came on board to help us take their IPs and … allowed us to create Easter eggs from their own cultural phenomenon. So if you look very carefully you’ll see a couple. You’ll see an R2-D2 somewhere. You’ll see an X-wing somewhere.”

I'm actually happy to know that. Now whenever I watch it I don't have to analyze what appeared and didn't appear from a political "studio ego" point of view and can just go with the story as presented.

I love Parzival's Han Solo belt with Thundercats belt buckle.

Zee had swag for sure.

I haven't seen RPO so that's fine, but boy does my OCD drive me nuts when I see people talking about a different movie when the thread for that movie is directly below this one.

I'd rep you, but your bar is full already.

jye you will regret not going to RPO, im telling you as a nerd and as a geek and as a toy collector, you will regret it.
IF you ever played any videogames even the nintendo ones, you would seriously regret not watching that movie

Spieldberg works with Disney, and would surely like to continue to do so in the future. They are still doing Indiana Jones together. I seriously doubt, even someone as high in Hollywood as himself, would ever call out Disney as being uncooperative. If anyone thinks he would say anything different, true or not, are the ones being a little too optimistic.

It would be like asking your boss off for a week and he gives you one day, then praising him to your co workers about what great a person they are and how much they care about their employees....

Suuuuuure.... .....

It would have been jaw dropping amazing to have seen vader or darth maul or someone like that.
I think they messed up on not doing that

Yeah it definitely makes more sense to believe that Disney is evil incarnate, told Spielberg he could include five specific references to Star Wars and *no more* and then demanded that he lie about it when asked.

Yeah it would have been cool to see Batman fighting Cap, Hulk fighting Supes, and then like Vader fighting Gandalf or something during that early montage where they introduced Planet Doom.

Even if it was 2 seconds of vader.
It saddens me they didnt

Disney is not evil incarnate. They do a lot of good and great things. But all with a nice and tidy profit attached to them.

They would gain nothing from having SW references in RPO. That's how corporations work. Even charitable donations give them huge tax breaks and attention in the public eye by the media.

I think we see the world very differently... But that also makes for more compelling discussions.

 

[Chakor]

We just need a Khev and jye vs. the people who dare criticize TLJ thread.

 

[Khev]

It's called free advertising. You know what my kids wanted to do immediately after watching RPO?

Spoiler

Watch The Shining and AKIRA.

Hell I want to watch Gundam now, lol.

Everything isn't a global conspiracy/cover-up/lie. Why would Disney want to piss off Spielberg right before counting on him to deliver Indy 5? They clearly let him put multiple visual SW references in the movie. I *do* think that due to the fact that we're being bombarded with new SW movies every year (apparently forever going forward) that Spielberg could have seen more prominent cameos as passé at this point.

I mean he only gave WB's poster boy Batman a mere 2-3 seconds of screen time. I'm guessing that he deliberately kept references from all current franchises to a minimum.

And agreed on the different world views, lol.

I watch The Shining without Ready Player One

And LEGO Batman and Howard the Duck could have been battling a 1980's Spielberg and Lucas and the superbosses could have been Amy Irving and Marcia Lucas who use the audio of the Lucas/Spielberg underage-Marion-backstory-in-Raiders discussion every time they speak.
