I can't believe Luke and Wedge's hug is a special edition change. That should have been in there from day one, George.

Watching pre-Special Edition ROTJ and Lapti Nek is such a better song than Jedi Rocks.

I do not miss Joh Yowza

As someone who works in the film industry, this kind of talk is always annoying to me.

There are incredible and original movies coming out every year! This year alone we've had Love Lies Bleeding, Monkey Man, Civil War, Challengers, IF, The Bikeriders, Blink Twice, and My Old Ass just to name a few I remember seeing.

It is a shame that the majority of box office mega hits are franchises, but that's nothing new. Going back to a decade ago and the box office looked like this

There's not a single movie here not based on some pre-existing franchise or story.

That's just unfortunately how blockbusters are.

Movies aren't getting worse, they've been like this for a while now.

The majority of people just won't go see something weird and new. That's sad and frustrating but it's been like this.

Good, original films are out there, you just have to care enough to go watch them.

Anyways, go see My Old Ass before Smile 2 and Venom 3 kick it out of theaters.

is it me or like, have movies been getting worse?????

I want an adaptation of KOTOR but like this:

tell Revan's story like all the other new Staar Wars media. Big, flashy effects and sets, interwoven plots, the whole works.

And then when TSL gets adapted for season 2, shoot the whole thing on a 40 year old, poorly taken care of camera. Use no CGI. at all. Original Trilogy style fight choreography. Pace it like 2001 Space Odyssey. Have maybe 3 action scenes in the entire series. Play up the miserable, dull tone.

I want it to feel like a something I dug out of a bin at a pawn shop for 50 cents.

and then do an R rated flashback to Malachor V with the whole VFX package. make it look like I'm watching an action movie for 5 minutes and then a horror movie for 30 seconds before jarringly swapping back.

The only good TSL adaptation is one that encapsulates the whiplash and ancient, liminal, half finished and sown together vibe of the original, which was so unintentionally perfect for such an unconventional story.

Kotor2 doesn't hate Star Wars

Quick addendum to the Kreia post, because this kept coming up and it drove me insane.

It gets said a lot, and I mean a LOT, that Kotor2 is Chris Avellone "tearing Star Wars apart", that Kotor2 is "Seething hatred for everything Star Wars stands for", that Kotor2 is about "How the Star Wars is bad, actually"

For a game that preaches thinking shit through, it is hilarious how much that stance is just not thought through. Because I'm kind of thinking the opposite, I think Kotor2 loves Star Wars.

Yes, sure, Kotor2 is "deconstructing" Star Wars, it's criticizing the heroic ideal of the Jedi, it's dunking on how metatextually the only thing that matters are these two Orders dragging everyone else into their shit.

But then there's the player character. Who stands up, in the literal center of this conflict, and goes "The Jedi are pretty good, actually."

You fight the Sith, you save the galaxy, you rebuild the order, you be the ideal Star Wars hero that everyone thinks this game is dunking on. People will throw criticisms of the setting at you and you, the player character, will be able to choose dialogue options that defend it.

Someone had to write that dialogue option. Someone had to think it was a worthy argument to make.

The people who wrote Kotor2 had to have a level of appreciation for Star Wars to be able to make such a genuine criticism and defense for it.

My season 2 prediction is that we're going to get a single line mentioning Hego Damask as a main backer for that Senator's reelection campaign
