Will 2,215 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I just got around to watching this and it is so incredibly funny. Wow. Particularly when random swear words get thrown in. E.g."R2, are you is f------?" Actually, now that I think about it, my favorite line might have been the one where Palpatine talks about the Presbyterian Church.

Will 2,215 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Watching the highlights again. It's funny how lots of the talking is like in The BFG - "I is mad" or whatever, with "is" used improperly. "They want you to know him at f---" "You are already at full c--- now" Even the title, "Backstroke of the West," made me laugh out loud randomly at school today, probably drawing me a strange look or two.

Jay 37,355 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 False facts about Star Wars you always thought were true Mostly a completely pointless article (I gave up before finishing), but I thought this part was interesting Quote As far as most fans are concerned, Leia Organa is an absolutely beloved character and always has been. She's a take-charge, badass woman who rescues others as much as she gets rescued, and doesn't take crap from anybody. There's a reason that Leia's a feminist icon — even when she's put in a weird gold bikini to be an alien slug's slave, she ends up choking the actual life out of him. Thing is, according to no less than Carrie Fisher herself, Leia being a beloved icon from Scene 1 on was not the case. In a 1983 interview with Rolling Stone magazine (the one with possibly the greatest cover of any publication in the galaxy), Fisher revealed that the writers struggled to make Leia easy to relate to. Because she had lost her planet and everyone on it, Fisher said "all she has is a cause" and that for the writers, the "only way they knew to make the character strong was to make her angry." Therefore, the same strength that many fans love about Leia left a lot of early fans cold, and Fisher said they thought she was "some kind of space b****." According to her, Return of the Jedi involved very deliberate reinvention of her character, where she "gets to be more feminine, more supportive, more affectionate." (This would explain her more pronounced romance with Han, friendship with Ewoks, empathy with Luke, and so on.) The ironic downside to softening her character, however, is that because these movies were presented as "basically boys' fantasies," the filmmakers felt they couldn't fully feminize Leia without having "her take off her clothes" — hence, the infamous gold bikini was born.

Well, I will tell you as someone who remembers Star Wars before there was Star Wars that we all loved the characters. True, I was just a kid of 5 years old but the banter between she and the main characters was very funny and engaging. I specifically remember laughing along with the audience when she said "will somebody take this big walking carpet out of my way" and how unimpressed she was with the rescue. The original audiences loved all the characters and their chemistry from the start. It was immediately engaging and even for a young kid. I was too young to find her sexy but loved her strong character. I think one of the most perfect aspects of the film was the pacing. It started slow and I felt bored during the droid intros. By 1/3 I was invested. After that it was a very steady increase of intensity that ended so perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Oh, looks like they've also posted a photo from "Heidi" recently, saying it's a "current project." And I sure doubt that's going LTP. So the SW pics may not mean anything. Wonder what they're doing with Heidi? Preparing a suite for a concert or something? EDIT: Oh, I knew they'd posted a SW one recently... Of course, again, it does seem to be a bit of a habit of release pictures from a film's sessions at some random time years later, etc., or show some sheet and say "sight reading practice" or whatever, so who knows how often it's an actual current project.
