Datameister 2,043 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 It's better than "Jedi Rock".Can't agree with that, sorry. While both pieces have their problems, I do enjoy "Jedi Rocks" more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 That whole sequence is one of the most embarrassing moments in any Star Wars films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 It is.But we're talking about just the music here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 The music is one of the most embarrassing pieces written for a Star Wars film.Thank goodness it wasn't Williams who wrote it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Both musical acts are embarrasing.Anyway I prefer the williams music but i prefer the new visuals. (sorry, the old sly noodles (or whatever) was utter crap as marionettes go..)If only Williams had scored the new scene or Lucas used lapti nek for it....

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 But...but...the CGI aliens look like crap?Also in the original version of ROTJ the scene is played more as background for the main story of that part of the film.In the SE the whole film grinds to a halt so we can enjoy the music and dance act, which is fine in a Mel Brooks film...but it's just not Star Wars!

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 but it's just not Star Wars!Star Wars (1977) is not Star Wars. Jedi Rocks, Jar Jar Binks and swordmaster Yoda are.It's a quantity vs. quantity issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 390 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I´m very much with Mr.Cosman on this. "Lapti Nek" was simply part of the environment, and worked fine for what it was, as did the old marionettes (the CGI creatures certainly don´t look more realistic, but merely cartoonish).On a totally unrelated note, I once, as a very young boy in the early 80´s, drew a picture of a crying ewok as a banner used in a rally in the neighborhood where I grew up. A young girl had been run over by a car, and we demanded speed bumps. Nothing could say that more poignantly, to me as a 7-year old, than a crying ewok...I wonder if any of the CGI creatures could be put to a similar use? (Somehow, I find it hard to care about computer animated beings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 390 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 In my defense, I was about four years old when first exposed to the Ewoks... They were simply too...irresistable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had made that pretty clear in the past, but that was a while ago and I've long since given up these endless, circular Star Wars debates. Now if only I can do that with CoS...
