SSC took some liberties but RO confirms the disc wasnt Empire property or tech, the rebels made their own copy from the transmission with their own discs.

"...the three Star Wars prequels, which didn't make nearly as much at the box office as Star Wars: The Force Awakens and they surely weren't as well received."


Again this note is played; the one that PTers regularly dismiss as the opinion of only 'a few internet trolls'.

 

[Prime Clone]

PT fans (such as myself) will happily admit they weren't as well received... especially by fans of a certain age.

And TFA made more than all movies not directed by James Cameron.

"There weren't a lot of details divulged about this mysterious helmet, but it definitely seems like it will be some kind of Easter egg for Star Wars fans."


The helmet was the "tank trooper". It was originally going to be the death trooper helmet, they created a black version didn't like it then it got ditched for a while until Lucas liked it. Jesus, this stuff is out there in general media, these website writers are so ****ing stupid a lot of the time, spinning BS into other stories. Easter eggs?
Idiots.

Lucas should've messed with Gareth and told him how much he loves the Gungans lineage.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I wonder if one day my kids will get to see "Star Wars XXX".

Star Wars fans can see that now...but I don't think it's canon.

Never saw it but do they hide the death star plans in a safe spot?

 

[Rorywan]

Lucas should've messed with Gareth and told him how much he loves the Gungans lineage.

Allegedly he did come on set and acted like he hated all the practical stuff, suggesting loads of CG alternatives.
They apparently all pissed themselves with shock until he revealed he was joking with them an hour later.

I "heart" Lucas.

 

[jye4ever]

Isn't it amazing that his creation is the only movie property that has a dedicated yearly event.

No Terminator celebration.
No Predator celebration.
No Wizard of Oz celebration.
No Godfather celebration.
No Die Hard celebration.
No Aliens celebration.
No Avatar celebration.
No Batman celebration.
No Justice League celebration.
No Avengers celebration.
No Titanic celebration.
No Indiana Jones celebration.

It's very easy to dismiss him as the nut job responsible for the PT.

Then when you add ILM/THX into the equation.

Mind blowing.

 

[Khev]

No Avatar celebration.

Cameron's got to be all "Star Wars was dead dammit! It was DEAD!!!!! For five seconds the world was Pandora crazy and SW was a joke!!!! How did it come back, how???"

 

[jye4ever]

I wouldn't mind a Cameron SW movie though.

Or a Jake Lloyd directed SW movie.

 

[Khev]

I wouldn't mind a Cameron SW movie though.

Rogue One was close enough for me. A reprogrammed robot who helps the heroes (and eyes fade out when it dies), a female hero, wounded male hero at the end, nuking the site from orbit, etc. I can totally tell that Gareth likes all the same movies I do, lol.

 

[Weapon]

Finally got to see the movie today and I prefer it a long way over TFA. Real fun.

 

[spindrift]

Not so sure Gareth was responsible for last 40 minutes of RO- they were the best minutes of the experience

 

[mrdbios]

Or a Jake Lloyd directed SW movie.

That could be pretty wizard.

See, the reshoot drama no longer matters, critics and fans loved the movie which means Gareth can now accept all of the credit for the entire movie, all he had to do was remain a hollywood professional which he did.

Yep and his MO from the beginning seemed almost to necessitate reshoots to tie everything together. From what I've pieced together between interviews with Edwards and Ben Mendelsohn he shot like 10-20 versions of each scene to give him as many options as possible and see which moments and versions had the most "magic" to them. Then when they started cherry picking the best take from each scene and stringing them together they realized that they had been gravitating toward a certain tone that wasn't represented in all the other scenes so they went back and redid certain scenes so that they all matched and created a consistent film throughout.

In other words they took all the best scenes and let those scenes dictate which gaps needed to be filmed in order to create the best possible movie.

And you know what, it freaking WORKED.

So...

he made a movie?

Reshoots are nothing new, we just know too much about them because of the internet. but yes, this is usually the process and the reason why.

So...

he made a movie?

In a nutshell.

 

[ZaCHw117]

One thing that isn't ordinary is RO's artbook, a friend gifted it to me over the holiday, and hot damn is it ****ing rad.

just amazing pieces in there.
