Yeah "Best Boy"

Choose only one.

what is this? A Hamill for ants?

This one

...

Weeb shit -------> Sup Forums

>same, even the single most argued point of Greedo and Han, if he cant even stick to that then what the hell can we consider consistent?

hes the exact sort of person who cant work on something and leave it alone, he has to keep going back and meddling with things, adding stuff or taking things away whether it be good or bad

This is exactly why I hate all of the alterations he did because he just changed shit for no reason. I'm sure it started with him wanting to make the special effects look better, but it evolved into him just changing random bullshit for no reason.

>how dare people post anime inpsired images on this japanese imageboard inspired imageboard

Waker, I...

/swco/ Best Boy Luke edition is dead on arrival. Thanks shitposters.

...

...

Luke is cute! CUTE!

If the Imperial trooper/droid poster is here, I got a pic showing the AV-6R7 supervisor droid, a mouse droid passing by and two mice droids in a train formation.

even his "improvements" were actually all better across the board

sure things like making sure the Snowspeeder cockpits didnt have transparent sections were a good fix but the CGI Dewback, was that needed?
and those were minor early fixes

i still love Star Wars and thank the man for creating it, but hes behaviour has me convinced that lightning struck once and since then hes just been trying to hold up a lightning rod and get it to strike again

Anakin is cuter.

Which version of Ani are we talking about here.

Kylo was cutest saberjockey

Post "Oh yeah, that existed"s

Wrong. Anakin is hot

>trying to hold up a lightning rod

Lucas did not make the movie he wanted to when he made STAR WARS back in '77. And yet it turned out great. Lucas then gave up a lot of control when TESB was made and it was great too. It didn't make as much money, but it's a great (arguably better) film. Lucas then took much control back for ROTJ and it is not made as well as the previous two. It has shit lighting and camera work and having damn near an entire act of a movie focused on making friends with teddy bears was a mistake. He also got divorced around this time who was undeniably able to balance out his weird sperginess with some human warmth.

Yet by the time of 1995, people had convinced Lucas(or maybe he just convinced himself) that he was solely responsible for the greatness of Star Wars and that he was more than capable of making all three of the OT films even better. Then the Special Editions were born.

I didn't really count those because they aren't really combatants in any sense that I can derive, but you're welcome to add them.

Also to the replies at the end of last thread, they're irrelevant, because I'm going fully anonymous for the next few months until TLJ comes out and I sperg over the vehicles in it. The only way you'll recognize me is if you spot some guy going to autistic lengths to defend the Nebulon B escort frigate. I only adopted a persona for the sake of the infodumps; the vehicles I wanted to list, and the troopers I was asked to list.

Why was this game so fucking good when it had no right to be?

>Solid story that expands upon moments we see in the movies
>Great saber combat
>Fun Co-op mode
>Awseome bonus levels
>An entire fighting game built in for local multiplayer
>Variety of characters to choose from with different fighting styles
>All this in what most people would assume is a shitty movie tie in game

Jokes on you I have a cripple fetish

alot of this is gonna be TCW and Rebels, but i expect a few EU things as well

...

Genndywars Ani! TCW Anakin is pretty meh.

I fucking hate anime and all the stupid shits that watch it
youtube.com/watch?v=dHG5B-hlzwk

It was mostly for the sake of the AV-6R7, because I can see where they got the aesthetics for the KX-series security droid.

...but, but nu-canon is better than old EU...

those are good points, Lucas was the original creative drive behind the film but alot of what his original "vision" entailed ended up changed before it hit the big screen

maybe a sign that some executive or artistic meddling can be actually valuable?

you can definitely see the difference between ROTJ and TESB, at the very least they werent rehashing the Death Star again or playing God with the proto Gungans

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Waru

yeah, general reminder to all that Nu-canon is at the whims of a childrens cartoon

>at the very least they werent rehashing the Death Star again

Have you seen ROTJ?

...

I think it's the same model as EV-9D9 from Jabba's Palace but painted black, but I may be mistaken.

Star Wars is my favorite anime

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Skippy_the_Jedi_Droid

>RotJ
>at the very least they werent rehashing the Death Star again
that's literally the plot of RotJ

Star Wars Rebels is my favorite anime.

yes, sorry if i was unclear, I meant TESB was better if for no other reason than it was at not rehashing the Death Star plot like ROTJ was

But user, Star Wars is actually based heavily on Christianity because, um, Luke forgives Darth Vader! And we all know that's an exclusively Christian trait!

I don't watch anime at all, but thanks for the (You), mister.

please see

Do weebs actually like star wars?

>artistic meddling can be actually valuable?

Francis Ford Coppola refers to the 70's as an era in film where many great minds collaborated. The key word there being COLLABORATED. And George Lucas is no exception.

And I'm not saying that Lucas didn't collaborate during the PT, but it is clear just from reading interviews that Lucas was surrounded by mostly Yes men who never questioned Lucas when it came to big decisions. I'm sure they would speak their opinions, but no one ever challenged him, not the way people back in the 70's did.

Lucas, for one reason or another, failed to grasp that Star Wars was never just his vision. It was a collaborative effort. So when it came time to make the SE, he put his Lucas-isms in scenes where they just didn't fit.

>maybe a sign that some executive or artistic meddling can be actually valuable?
Of course it can, it's just that the meddling needs to be done by someone who knows what they're doing. A producer's job is literally to meddle with things.

yeah

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/IG-88A
>"IG-88 was in control of the DSII superlaser the whole time!"
It's my favorite dumb Legends thing, if only for the mental image of him going "Aha, soon my great droid uprising will sweep across the galaxy - wait, what the fuck is going out th-"

Is Rebels a harem anime? Is that why Sabine, SS, Sabine's mom, Gold 3 and Hera hit on Ezra?

"While making American Graffiti, George Lucas talks about his upcoming science fiction film. According to actor Charlie Martin Smith, "It sounded great to me – a big SF adventure with these short furry creatures called Wookiees. Richard Dreyfuss and I kept begging George to let us play them. […] Then, he turned around and made the Wookiees seven feet tall, which knocked me out of the running for that part.""

In conclusion, Ewoks were always part of the picture in one form or another. Fucking blew my mind.

yeah, who do you think is gonna make all the new Jedi babies for Skywalker and Rey to train in Nu Canon?

Lucas had clearly run out of ideas by the time of ROTJ. My favortie quote from George about ROTJ is, "I wandered in all kinds of directions, trying to avoid those things which were in the very first draft, but it turned out better just to say, 'Forget it. It sounds redundant, but we'll do it again.'"

Don't forget Ahsoka and Kanan

R2D2 girl shouldn't have arms or legs, just the torso and a set of tracks.
I'll tip her over and piss on her while berating her for being useless outside of the ship.

>implying if Ewoks were in ANH, that movie would still have been a success and not a giant flop.

archive.is/12EgM
Lot's of Lucas haters in this thread about Lucas creations...

>Maul in knee socks
It actually looks good on him

No, Kanan's only purpose is being gently pegged by Hera.

He really wanted that Death Star action with better effects.

>George Lucas has an idea for Wookiees which are originally short.
>changes his mind and makes them tall
>people love them
>decides to make his short version too
>people despise them

Just because short Wookiees (Ewoks) were his first thought doesn't mean they were his best thought.

>"also he kept going on this rant about one character, called a Gun Gan, it basically sounded like this thinly veiled racial stereotypes of a black slave and he was gonna serve the magical space wizards before it them ruins the galaxy through politics....yeah we were really happy when those didnt show up in any of the three movies"

>And I'm not saying that Lucas didn't collaborate during the PT, but it is clear just from reading interviews that Lucas was surrounded by mostly Yes men who never questioned Lucas when it came to big decisions

This is a meme you stole from RLM. Number one, TONS of people who worked for George on the OT worked for him on the PT. Number two, one of the very first things George did when he began developing the prequels was ask people like Spielberg and Kasdan for help writing and directing. And every single one of them told him that he was better off doing it all himself.

It's fine that you don't like the prequels but there's no need to attack Lucas' character, especially with memes you heard from a literal comedy video.

How long are RLMfags going to keep spouting this horse shit? Ahmed Best, a black guy who portrayed Jar Jar Binks never thought it was the least bit stereotypical or offensive or racist. It was just Caribbean inspired aliens, nothing more. Yes, people in Jamaica actually talk like that, it's not making fun of anybody, it's not alluding to slavery.

In the documentary FROM STAR WARS TO JEDI Lucas admits he wanted to redo the Death Star battle from ANH with better special effects.

He also admits to doing Jabba's palace just to redo the cantina sequence because he never liked the creatures in the cantina.

If you like ESB for Yoda and hate ROTJ for the Ewoks then you are a walking contradiction my man.

Yeah, his markings end up looking like garter suspenders. RIP Maul's legs

Is that like the Star Wars version of Cthulhu?

explain

>And every single one of them told him that he was better off doing it all himself
And every single one of them was wrong.

You know prequel hate was around before RLM, right?

no ones saying he didnt do good when he pushed the creation of Star Wars, it really was the start of something awesome
but honestly he needed creative collaborators with backbone, so that he had some quality control and his bad ideas (for example Gungans and his tendency to nitpick finished products) could be filtered out of his good ideas

Never said that, it just blew my mind they were some of the earliest elements.

Stop posting this in every thread. Yoda and the Ewoks are literally nothing alike outside of being short aliens.

>RLMfags going to keep spouting this horse shit?

You do realized that this was an actual critism of TPM when it was first released, right? Just like Watto looking Jewish and the Neimoidians sounding asian.

Ewoks are literally Yoda's lesson manifested into plot.
Listen and educate yourself.
youtube.com/watch?v=aJTsQEoIcvA

>And every single one of them was wrong
I didn't say otherwise, I said that your claim that Lucas obviously surrounded himself with yes men is factually incorrect.

>You know prequel hate was around before RLM, right?
Sure, but it's easy to see when someone is practically quoting them, as you are doing now.

Nick Gillard consulted with the developers during production to make sure that each jedi/sith character had their own distinct style and technique. They basically accidentally made a decent fighting game while developing it as a third person action game.

Really think it would have been better if they went with the Greedo and Chewi approach, and gave them their own distinct languages I think, atleast for Neimodians and Gungans
Watto could kinda get away wiith it if theyd just given him a design that was less...on the nose

False. You just can't admit that you missed the point.

>This is a meme you stole from RLM.

You do understand that YES MEN are just people who are too afraid to challenge their bosses, right? Just because Lucas didn't hire them for the express purpose of being yes men, doesn't mean that they weren't yes men.

People trusted Lucas to have better ideas than they did. They thought that surely Lucas's ideas, even if they sounded terrible, would be great because the man has vision. They were wrong.

And they were just as wrong and stupid then. It says a lot when the people complaining about "racist stereotypes" are the only people seeing them. I don't know how many times it needs to be said that Watto was supposed to be Italian.

Did you work on production of the PT? Please tell us of your experiences.

>"Ima huge geek girl"
>Her dad helped found ILM
>She is now just watching ROTJ

I HATE normies

that's still untrue though because plenty of people challenged Lucas during the prequels, Liam Neeson in particular defied his attempts to make Quigon cold and uncaring and aloof

So boys what shitposting are we getting up today? I'm thinking some sheevposting, vaderposting, and some random but interesting facts about star wars along the way

Not same user but while he may have attempted to bring in Spielberg and Kasdan he still ended up surrounded by Yes-Men, the end result was the same although more a result of circumstance than deliberate ego

>Sure, but it's easy to see when someone is practically quoting them, as you are doing now.
but its still a valid criticism even if you dont like RLM has been popularising it

I still haven't seen a source for this asspull

>as you are doing now
That wasn't even me.

It's not a hard conclusion to come to for someone who likes the OT better. Other than ANH, George only did the stories. In the PT, he directed, had sole screenwriting credit on 1 and 3, and cowrote 2.

There's a definite pattern there.

The putting his hands on Shmi was Neeson's idea.

and lo and behold, Qui Gon Jin is one of the better aspects of the prequels, feeling exactly like the sort of teacher that would have trained Obi Wan Kenobi

Enlighten me, then - what's the point?

Why can't someone like Yoda but dislike the Ewoks?

...

They can, it's just hypocrisy, because they're intimately connected in terms of theme and plot.
