WUT ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!Still blows my mind that that's a practical effect
WUT ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Yup, and I remember the guys who did it said it was annoying because people assumed it was CG.
Whoa, awesome.Still blows my mind that that's a practical effect
For those interested: Rian Johnson did a 30 minute interview with Denis Villeneuve https://mobile.twitter.com/ForceMaterial/status/919048928523313153
Did it since the teaser for TFAIm glad we are finally moving on from Darth Vader
I feel like the only people who dont hate the prequels must have been kids when they released. Thats the only possible explanation.
That's mental.Yup, and I remember the guys who did it said it was annoying because people assumed it was CG.

Yeah if I remember right, there was a team dedicated to only this 5 second scene and it took months to create.Still blows my mind that that's a practical effect
I grew up with the Original Trilogy and I loved the prequels. (ESB is literally the first film I saw in the theater)
Theyre flawed films for certain but they also contain tremendous amounts of awesome components. People tend to focus on the negatives and ignore how visually stunning these movies are and how much story and world-building they contain. Had Lucas simply hired a second unit director to shoot his actors and allowed somebody to polish up his clunky-ass dialogue, thered have been little to complain about.
As it stands, theres far more to love than dislike in the prequels from my standpoint but I am glad Lucas walked away from the franchise because whats happening now is spectacular.

I doubt it's anything safe to eat. What if you just swallowed a bunch of that powder?
From what movie is that?Still blows my mind that that's a practical effect
The force awakens, when Rey is about to eat, in the beginning of the movieFrom what movie is that?
Well, as somebody who walked out of the theater after seeing TPM as an eleven year old and disliked it, I can't really agree here. But I can respect this opinion. The PT did have some good ideas and artwork/world building that got lost in the shuffle.
Oh my god
RLM already suggesting TLJ is copying ESB
The collapse of the planet.. Has begun
I have never understood the appeal of RLM.Oh my god

Really, I feel like that one Vader comic scene where he learns about Luke's name is indicative of what the prequels could have been. Because detached from the actual movie, the flashes back to those moments have weight and pretty damn well highlight both the tragedy of Vader, but also set up for his scheming against Sheev. The idea of the man who gave himself to the darkness having feared losing, and then thinking he had lost, everything, is a powerful one. Unfortunately, the idea is much better than the execution we got up on the big screen (and say this as someone who still has fondness for the PT, since it got me into the franchise).
It isn't the dialog that is wrong with the prequels.I grew up with the Original Trilogy and I loved the prequels. (ESB is literally the first film I saw in the theater)

Absolutely.It isn't the dialog that is wrong with the prequels.
It's the whole narrative that is flawed.
Worst part then was episode 3 and Anakin's turn and how/why he becomes Vader.

"There are AT-ATs and Luke Skywalker! Copied!"
I just watched it, the movie looks really good... but maybe I shouldn't have seen the trailer :|Seems like I know the general plot of the whole movie now
I have never understood the appeal of RLM.
Vader thought his children were dead, so he just never looked for them.It's hilarious how people's answer to the question "Why didn't Ben or the Lars change Luke's family name?" was always "Well, 'Skywalker' must be a very common name in the galaxy or something", and then this scene just disproves the idea.
https://comicnewbies.com/2015/06/04/darth-vader-learns-luke-is-his-son/Do you have a link to that scene? Sounds interesting.

Vader thought his children were dead, so he just never looked for them.
And who knows if he knew he had other relatives left.
But then again, why should he look for them?

Wow that is awesome.. Thanks! Never seen itVader thought his children were dead, so he just never looked for them.

Man Boba Fett always seems to make the lives of the heroes worse.Vader thought his children were dead, so he just never looked for them.

The unnatural, badly written dialogue is absolutely the worst part of the prequels.
Thanks for sharing. That is really interesting and I like the last line of your post.Yeah. I mean, I always just bought into the idea that it's a big galaxy and so without specifically looking it just wouldn't come up, especially since Anakin could be argued as having reasons never to especially want to go back home (though Episode II could have done a lot better in making that explicit, as with many other things).

The art's a little wonky (Luke's expression is hilarious), but I really love this moment. Surprising amount of expression one can get out of slight tilts of a mask in a comic book. You can just feel Anakin simmering under there.
As to my age, I'm 22, will be 23 come February. Strictly speaking The Phantom Menace wasn't outright my introduction to the Star Wars universe - my family did have video tapes which I'd watched a couple times - but it was where I really, suddenly got interested and began watching those tapes a whole lot more. I had those laser tag blaster toys from the battle of naboo, speeders, a droid battle tank, so forth. I got to grow up watching Anakin grow up (even if at a much faster pace than myself), and given my lack of ability to fully appreciate acting ability (or the lack thereof) or fully realise themes (or their inconsistencies) outside of their immediacy, I did give those films a fair bit of leniency 0 though even I was iffy on Episode II. I recognise now they're deeply flawed, and even my favourite of the bunch - TPM - is honestly an unnecessary film when considering what story the trilogy as a whole is trying to tell. But I do still feel a bit defensive when people quite often argue that the films are entirely terrible or don't deserve to exist because they ruined their childhood, as silly as that is. After all, it was my childhood, and I see value in it.

The actually good dialogue was why TFA was so refreshing.
