Beowulf 4 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I may be going a little looney (thank you finals!) but did anyone else notice the tongue-in-cheek reference to ET in ROTS?The part i'm thinking of is where Yoda takes off in his escape pod on Kashykk after saying bye to Chewie and his buddy. Not only did Yoda's pod seem to be a mini version of the mothership in ET, but the way the scene was filmed and how JW scored Yoda's theme to rise majestically as the pod takes off seems too coincidental. I loved it! The only difference seems to be that the theme kind of tapers off, not fully realizing its potential, but I think that it worked well with the scene - since Yoda's departure isn't really joyful or optimistic.So am I being too fan-boyish or did anyone else notice this?BTW - loved ROTS and the score.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 yeah I don't get it either the little pod looked nothing like ET's ship, ET's was round, Yoda's was egg shaped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,790 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I saw the movie again, and IMO it a clear and intended nod.Even if this is a shitty (yeah right ) movie it still can homage a great one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 real people say "hom" auge, will people putting on airs say it "O"mauge.Luke I wasn't poking fun at you, just the way words are pronouncedlike Uranus, real way is Your anus, the pc way is Urine us. either way its pee or poop.Angina, the heart palpataion thing, is Anne gI, na, now so that it doesn't rhyme with Vagina, its nowAnne, gi, na Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bondo 33 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Just saw it again, and I think it was indeed a nod to ET. The closeup of Yoda as the door closed, the Wookies tilting their heads back, and the angle of the camera as the ship lifted off all seemed pretty intentional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I thought it was funny, but for the wrong reasons. Lucas had to rip off one of the finest film moments ever to make his better... It was good, but cheapened the experiences of both the original and "homage" versions. I almost expected Chewie and Yoda to touch fingers at some point, but was disappointed when they didn't...

fommes 153 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Heheh.Well I see it as Lucas who has Yoda return the favour of the Yoda hOmauge in ET. I'm not bothered by it (nor did I get a vibe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I didn't even notice. I just really liked the shot of the doors closing over Yoda's face, and feeling it was a bit un-Lucas (just the blocking of it), but nice nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,790 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 It was very accurate.It had a grid and then main ramp-hatch.If only the grid had closed a little earlier... and we could have seen Yoda's hearhtlights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 153 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I didn't even notice. Well you didn't get the joke of R2's com link either, so perhaps you aim too high watching Lucas's films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I was too caught up in the statement of Yoda's theme at that moment to pay attention to the visuals. Screw Lucas. Johnny rocks ten times as hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
