Edmilson 7,466 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Well, the Star Wars universe already established that the technology is advanced enough to create robotic hands, so I think it is quite likely that they can also create an artificial wang. I doubt it is able to give Vader pleasure though, because "a Sith must live in constant pain" or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its more space suit than armour, is what I'm saying. It became MORE armoured - and less cheap-looking - over the films. But its still primarily a space suit (or, as retconned in 1977, a life-preserving suit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,466 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 It summed up the trilogy pretty well lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,483 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I just learned that in one of the original scripts of A New Hope, Obi-Wan was not supposed to die on the Death Star and was to guide Luke in his attack, from the command room alongside Leia. Lucas's wife, suggesting that Obi-Wan served no purpose after his intervention on the Death Star to rescue the princess, would have then suggested to Lucas to kill Obi-Wan. Lucas would have found it to be a good idea, and ultimately Obi-Wan gives exactly the same instructions to Luke during the Death Star Attack, but from beyond, rather than from the command room. Additionally, this reinforced the notion of the "Force" so dear to Lucas. If this is true, allow me to say that this is the kind of feedback that would have been useful to give to Lucas during the writing of the prequels. Many things that didn't work in this trilogy could have been improved this way. But as we know, no one, absolutely no one in Lucas's entourage during the making of the prequels dared to challenge him. With the result that we know. "Yes, George, we will do that. It will work perfectly!" - Rick "Yes man" McCallum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallguy 3,398 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 While I'm in the "Gary Kurtz and Marcia Lucas made Star Wars better and Rick McCallum at best did nothing" camp, didn't Lucas get input from Ron Howard and Steven Spielberg? (I'm also not in the "George didn't do anything for Star Wars it was all other people" camp.) I seem to recall that Carrie Fisher also made contributions to at least one of the scripts? I'm sure there's no way to get any kind of objective telling of any of the back and forth on the Prequels. It didn't work out, that's all I can objectively say. enderdrag64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he sought their advice on the script level, but I recall Lucas having trouble with the last act of 'Episode I', and in particular how to crosscut between the droid invasion, lightsaber fight, and knocking out of the command ship—which Howard and Spielberg were said to have advised him on.

Edmilson 7,466 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 As someone who was born in 93, the only versions of these movies that I know are the SEs. They're the only versions available that I saw in DVD. In fact, I can count how many times I watched start to finish the original trilogy: three. One as a kid back in 2004 or 2005, other as a 16 or 17-year-old teen and other as a young adult back in 2013. Every one of them were the SEs because, y'know' they were the ones available at the video rental. Also my father kinda ruined these movies for me because before we saw them he had the brilliant idea of telling the plot of the three movies to my younger brothers (who were like, 5 or 6 at the time), including the "I'm your father" reveal - even though that one is so famous that I think I was aware of that before (maybe because of Toy Story 2?... Not sure) So yeah, by most fans's standards my Star Wars experience wasn't ideal. If in the future they release the original versions of those movies and also create a machine that deletes specific spoilers from stuff so you can experience it like it was the first time I'll be able to fix that. Both of these things pretty much have the same odds of actually coming true, in fact I think the spoiler-forgetting machine is more likely to happen than Disney releasing the original versions...
