This isn't a matter of opinion you can disagree on, this is a matter of facts you are wrong about. All I'm doing is trying to get you to understand that you can't just try to get around being wrong by saying it's just your opinio I've seen you do this countless times and it's rally driving me crazy. There's really nothing wrong with being wrong.
Pretty much. Thus far, the only thing I feel like I understand is that there are Star Wars books out there that people like and don't like. But, I have yet to understand the vileness and bitterness of the opinions, so they make no sense.
JD, I've pretty much agreed with you in this thread, and appreciate your candid opinion. But, I don't think this point will get made. Any statements supporting YA books are ignored, and the categorical dismissal indicates that rather than consider other points of view, it's treated as immaterial.
Mara Jade is overrated-there. I'm now wrong on the Internet
IIRC there's already a fair amount of disparity between the novelisation and the movie, presumably because Foster (for obvious reasons) only had a shooting from which to work, not the final edited movie.
That's actually due to them being Blue Squad originally, until the blue screen effect wouldn't work with the blue logos. Which is why R2's blue panels are black in the trench run.
Now that I think about it, I think it also describes Kenobi being cut down as being a bit more graphic than it appeared in the final edit. I've seen deleted footage that shows they tried to do an effect that made it look like the body disappeared after it was sliced in half, rather than just as Vader's saber makes contact. It wasn't very convincing, which is probably why it was dropped. Another result of working from the script, one must assume.
I figured you knew, and was kind of rambling off random facts. It's pretty well known. It's odd because all the concept art is blue and some models, but I can't tell for sure when they were made.
Logically it seems likely that it's something they noticed at the prototyping phase, before they finalised the design and started building the filming miniatures and full scale mock-ups. Otherwise they would have had to go back and re-film all of that hanger footage, which as far as I know, didn't happen.
Yeah, and I recall one of the clones (though I can't remember which) in TCW making a reference to the days of the Old Republic, as well. And dialogue in ROTS from Mace Windu ("The oppression of the Sith will never return!") and Darth Sidious ("Once more the Sith will rule the galaxy!") also seem to imply the galaxy being under Sith rule at some point, likely in the years preceding the destruction of the old Sith and Darth Bane instituting the Rule of Two. It's a simpler way of handling the thousand generations/thousand years incongruity than what the old EU came up with, where technically the Republic never actually fell but was 'reorganized' after the war that led to the extinction of the Sith. It's simpler in the new canon.
Yes.
