Why are all the aliens just shades of brown and grey?

the casino planet didn't even feel like star wars
at least pod racing felt consistent with the universe

>muh grounded realism color pallettes
Unfortunately

Podracing spawned a cool video game.

Casino Planet

Podracing inspired awesome games and was awesome to watch. The alien horse racing won't inspire anything, so I'm going to go with that

The podracing was awesome.

The alien horses rescued operation was fucking retarded.

Podracing was awesome, fuck you.

Where the fuck are the twileks? Were they genocided?

Pod racing was plot relevant, it demonstrated Anakin's abilities as an engineer and pilot. Casino planet showed that Rose was a bleeding heart, but she's a part of the resistance so we'd assume

this, episode 1 racer is unironically one of the best racing games ever made

any Ebe E Endocot man in?

How they didn’t include even a cameo for Lando is beyond me

Not at the time no

>grounded realism
???

You seriously expect sexy alien babes ti be anywhere in Disney production? I'm surprised their race was not genocided into "legends".

banned due to sexism

Pod-Racing was awesome!

Should have brought it back.

Why the fuck are they creating millions of other species? Where are the Twileks? Duros? Togrutas? Rodians? Zabraks? EA's Battlefronts did a better job at feeling like Star Wars than these two movies.

What the fuck, first I'm hearing of it. What a shit show

Nope. This guy.

It also got Anakin out of slavery, as retarded as it might have been handled.

The Casino scene meant absolutely nothing to the plot, and in the end had no impact on the story.
At least the Podrace had stakes, and was super cool sound porn

I want to genocide the twileks with my dick

I mean, what is this new alien? Where the fuck does it come from?

Lando as the head of a casino?
>sexy alien babes
Verhoeven should do star wars

> Podrace had stakes, and was super cool sound porn
And it tied to the last act. Because THIS is podracing.

Can we talk about rose as character? Who liked and didnt like, give justification
Also podracing feels possible within star wars, casino planet would have been cool if they werent all dressed like they were from fucking great gatsby and there were a couple recognizable alien species

...

you make me wish i had three hands

distraction? Podracing was the best part

Watching that Twilek on a chain in RotJ was probably my first boner.

it showed how Ani was such a good pilot. Good point.

>sound porn
THIS. The best part of destiny is having the little hoverbike that sounds a lot like a podracer, shits cash

neva kee was true peak performance

Its a trend in modern cinema and graphical art. Green, brown and black pallets are not very creative but considered very realistic.

I came to say this. At least pod racing made a good videogame. Practically on top 5 of best Star Wars games.

pod-racing got anakin free and necessary ship parts.
Casino got em caught and plans leaked it didn't manner in the end i know but then nothing about the casino scenes did.

I mean, they were in the new Battlefront games and the Rebels pilot is a Twilek, clearly they're just trying to avoid using them not to be cliche i guess, which is understandable but also silly

Why do people complain about podracing? It was the only good part of the entire fucking movie.

I liked casino planet as it was happening because it was taking chances and different but my god it just went nowhere.

Casino Planet, simply because it didn't move the plot forwad

Podracing was necessary for the gang to get to Courascant and expose the Trade Federation. Meanwhile, the casino subplot didn't actually achieve any of the casts objectives and was entirely avoidable had Admiral Gender Studies been a bit more open

He is a yakubine that is born from the insides of his planet, Nobia
His gods, Yakub and Yashmal, has gave birth to them, with the help of another deities

That or playing at a table. He’s a gambler.
Also that yacht when they first arrive looked a lot like his ship, if that’s still cannon

NIGGER RAPIST

>neva kee with fully upgraded racer
It's like others don't even grasp what "GOING FAST" means. This shit was bonkers.
I think only for engined one could be faster with upgrades.

podracing is p u r e cinema

podracing was ultimate kino, they all looked different but believable and functional, crowds full of humanoids and not daft aliens, starting grid with custom flags.

holy shit I remember this ship, it's so fucking ugly lmao

>muuh realism
the entire point of entertainment is escapism. why are these people so fucking stupid?

It was like watching an alien version of Ben Hur, it was pretty good.

holy shit I didnt even notice he was there till I saw your pic

Ultimately, Star Wars is not about the cinema, its the brand. Podracing has a financial element, it sold toys and a videogame.

I cant find any merchandise on Amazon, ToysRus, nor walmart relating to the casino scene. Its not a defense of the scene vs podracing but I found it odd that Disney, of all companies, is struggling to commercialize TLJ when the other movies, the prequels especially, were an excellent template.

I love the idea of Lando running a casino.

People were giving lucas shit for the 50s diner, and now we have an actual vegas casino...

if you see it, youll shit bricks

Prepping people subconsciously for the demographic future

EP1 racer and JK2:JO are top tier games

The track at the casino should have been a podracer track.

>a videogame
But the game was awesome!
As long as the merch is good, who cares?
And also the race made sense in the context of the movie.

Can't see what's the problem with a Casino, the EU had lots of them

Or a 50s diner

Watch they'll kill him off on the next film.

Podracing was cool and served a purpose. Space Monte Carlo was just a way to waste time.

search canto bight, there are figures and a vehicle
maybe they’ll make a racer sequel about broom kid riding his alien horse around in circles

Yes.

That game was GREAT

This.
Why did they miss the oportinity to trigger some old feelings in the fans and have an escape scene in a racer.

Also did I miss it or wasn't there a single Hut on in the casino? How is that even possible? Dirty money is like honey to them.

ouch

Why the fuck wasn't there a Hutt in that scene? Seems like the perfect chance to appease the "muh practical fx" fags too

Because the quality of the toys has dropped to utterly abysmal levels and it doesn't sell anymore as a result of that anyway.

>we need money to get off this planet
>I can get you the money
*podraces for prizemoney*

>the fate of the galaxy is in the balnce,w e have to fight the Space Nazis, all our friends are dying
>yeah but look these rich aliens are assholes
*frees the fancy space horses because ?? and then ???*

because the brain dead nuWars audience would mistake it for Jabba and question why he's still alive

Pod racing was great because it took a familiar idea and morphed it into something that would fit in the SW universe. If it was simply a chariot race with alien horses, it would be completely boring. But it became something truly unique and memorable.

Space casino has none of that. Aliens in fancy dress looks like it comes from a Doctor Who or campy sci-fi show.

>fast as fuck, exciting, high technology, deadly racing with hovering ships
>some fucking horse monkey giraffe hybrids running around in a circle

what went wrong

Mars Guo
And ironically Maggie Gyllenhaal, quad engine means 2 times longer until it overheats

'not debating that, I'm not interested in the quality of merch because I'm not a fan nor am I engaged in those 'hobbies'. I am interesting in the industry surrounding movies and I just wonder why TLJ has no merch at all nor is it trying to sell it through the movie as did Lucas; that how that fat bastard made his fortune and its odd that the Disney seems disinterested in following suit and commercializing the fuck out of its latest movie. In fact its rather content to keep making stuff from the OT and even the prequels.

Hating the pod race scene is just plain retarded.

>Maggie Gyllenhaal

top kek knew i wouldn't be the only one who thought this.

It's a well known meme

I genuinely thought that the Hacker Maz was telling Finn and Rose to find was going to be Lando, then it just turned out to be just some random guy.

Pod racing was the good part of Episode I tho

>people are actually that stupid
why though?

>Star Wars cultural marxism steering committee:
>"The cantina scene reflects privilege and imperialism against the lower class and is too iconic to go uncorrected"
>thirty-minute Cantina Scene With Rich People subplot

The only problem with podracing is that it retroactively makes the Anakin battle station even more unnecessary.

This

podracing was cool, casino was not.

at least podracing was visually interesting, better memes too

Because the toys from TFA, and even moreso Rogue One, did not sell for shit. They sat and pegwarmed for ages. Clearance aisles are still full of those toys because they had to make room in the main aisle for the new stuff that also isn't selling. The quality of those toys is genuine garbage and yet they also cost more than the higher quality toys of the late 90's and 00's.

I'm rewatching TPM right now and it's full of memes. I'm noticing memes I never even knew about. Like that grandma saying "storm is coming up, Annie" I was like, wait, that line and her delivery sounds memeworthy, let me check. Sure enough, it is.

>Anakin battle station
?

the pod race was fucking awesome

As soon as I saw a race track I was thinking "why didn't they just make this a pod-racing track just for kicks"

Building a droid is the same as building a pc so Annie posts pics of 3po in battlestation threads on Sup Forums

It makes me wonder how much little kids even enjoy star wars now. It seems like the target audience is now the fanbase of 20-40 year old grown children who will go to opening night, buy the Funko Pop figures, and rave on their twitter feed about how "epic" and "forward-thinking" it was.
I assume he means the part where Anakin flies the Naboo fighter in the end, which is meant to show that he's a gifted pilot, is unnecessary because we've already seen that he's good at flying the pod.

pod racing was incredible, i loved racing and return of the jedi but anakins pod and the effects/sounds blew me away
really the only time i self inserted as a kid was with anakin

i couldnt believe or understand why my parents didnt like the movie, it was insane

that game was great.

She was a self-insert shill character that did nothing but parrot the director's personal world views.

i watched adventures of robin hood (the errol flynn one) recently and it was just over the top color everywhere. was great. some really stylish michael curtiz direction as well

much like TLJ, it had a ton of unnecessary scenes

Point out your favorite to use in the game

Mine was middle back (not the cut off row the fully visible one) those engines looked like giant oblong asterisks from the back and I loved it.
