Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 There are not that many 'awful-bad' novels... After all most of the authors are/were already renowned before entering the SW universe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo 3,709 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Courtship of Princess Leia was so bad it should count as 10 book but I get what you're saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 was it that bad?i read it like 15 years ago (W-O-W...time passes).I think i am more critical now than then. Recentyl i read 'scourge' and thought how inconsequential it is in the end. And most of the side stories...Now im only interested in the main cast story i think.

Matt C 454 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Don't see the resemblence at all.In some movies they look similar (like in Episode I). Natalie does have the usual pointy nose and her face is more sharply angled, whereas Keira has this softer look.It's also evident how they hold themselves. Keira has a genuine openness about her, whereas Natalie is more reserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley looked like twins in Episode I (which was of course the point). Since then they've diverged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I don't expect you to see things the way I do or understand my irony. They diverged because Natalie has eaten healthily since then, while Keira hasn't eaten a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They eat three meals a day, and they're still thin. It's a mixture of metabolism and genetics.Maybe you're right about Keira... but she doesn't look rail thin or emanciated.

Wojo 2,453 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I found it to be a "yeah so what?" element. Not critical to the story. Sure, it established Anakin getting enamored with the queen instead of just a handmaiden, and we knew they would go on to make Skywalker babies, but the way the story unfolded, the mother didn't have to be a "real" queen for Leia to become a princess by birthright. We knew she would be adopted by royalty, while Luke's birthright as a prince of Naboo would never be explored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy them, but I don't see them as the masterpieces most people claim them to be.In Kurosawa's case the decoy element worked because it felt more established and didn't go back and forth with it like in TPM. In Lucas' case it feels like a fanboy inserting what he thinks is a clever wink to his inner-circle of friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giftheck 916 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 So, given we won't ever be seeing the 20th Century Fox Fanfare again in a Star Wars film, do you think Williams is going to write a new fanfare to open the film before the main titles, like how Brian Tyler did with Marvel?

Giftheck 916 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 It's always been listed in the credits, hasn't it? Although I don't expect everybody to know Sabé to be the character's name (which is what Knightley is credited as in the end credits if memory serves me), therefore those people might not have attributed that to meaning Keira Knightley played the role of the decoy.
