When 'Star Wars' first came out in 1977, we didn't even have this yet...

 

[Mondragon]

We still had to wait a year for this:

I think Pong and Breakout were still the big "arcade" games.

That's why those DS graphics in the Yavin temple looked incredible by comparison.

I wondered why on earth they had gone for such a muscular look!

Post He-Man pretty much every brand went into the eXtreme roided 90s look, with eXtreme muscle, eXtreme gear, gadgets and eXtreme "Ninja-Dayglow!" (cause that makes 90s eXtreme sense to the Max!!! )

Warning eXtreme image content...

Even chips got Xtreme!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Pong was the extent of our "arcade" games. So, yeah... Star Wars was just so out there.

Just stumbled on this. What an interesting take…

Anakin and Obi-Wan visit Luke on Ahch-To

 

[jye4ever]

Luke is such a debbie downer lol

Going by his logic I guess order 66 was a good thing!

 

[Mondragon]

I don't know whatTF this or Abaloth is, but Disney Luke is such a useless POS coward, slave to fear, slave to dogma, slave to inaction, and complete failure, he's irreconcilable with Luke at the end of ROTJ, who saved his father, who following his own instinct and path became a Jedi, his way, and was told to pass on what he had learned.
Disney Luke is a complete betrayal and antithesis of that. Not because they took him some interesting "new" direction. Because they denied and regressed him to having learned nothing from the characters (as told) own Instinct, and lived experience.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It says more about Disney than it says about Luke.

 

[QuiGonFishing]

I agree with all the comments about what Disney did to Luke which is the reason I hold The Last Jedi in a very special category of hate, but I also thought the video touched on an interesting point that I believe most of the most passionate and knowledgeable Star Wars fans agree on, which is a great as the Jedi were at the height of their reign, their dogma got a lot of things wrong. Banishing all human attachment might sound good in a sacred Jedi text, but in practice, relegating the Jedi to cold loveless lives is the framework for far worse problems than being tempted by the Dark Side.

So the idea of building something better than this two dimensional view of how people interact with the Force is intriguing. Something Baylon Skoll might have been seeking.

Qui-Gon practices self-love. Much practice, does he.

Obviously there's no way in hell that this was intentional but it *is* kind of hard to unsee now...

 

[jye4ever]

I can’t unsee that now, no bueno lol

 

[choombaz]

Wow. That’s from the middle section of AOTC right? I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that was intentional.

 

[JackNasty]

Wow. That’s from the middle section of AOTC right? I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that was intentional.

I wouldn't give George too much credit for thinking about costumes, because it also looks like Padme is wearing Anakin's starfighter headset as a headband.

 

[Otomofan]

I recall them saying that particular dress was designed by George himself.
