Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted September 22, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted September 22, 2021 Just watched The Duel, the first episode of the Star Wars: Visions anime anthology series. Nothing short of amazing; I really dig the art style and general atmosphere. Shows how much influence old samurai movies had on the franchise, and the transition is impeccable. Apparently there's a graphic novel coming out in October that will expand on this particular story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched them all after work last night! In general, really enjoyed the whole series - the different art styles, the stories, the anime take on Star Wars. Thought it's just incredible how every episode managed to tell a story in less than 20, sometimes even less than 15 minutes. Amazing. If I had to rank them, this would be my list: Loved: The Duel The Ninth Jedi The Village Bride The Elder Liked: Lop and Ochō Tatooine Rhapsody Didn't really care for: Akakiri T0-B1 The Twins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the exact same about them all as you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 @nudge what is your favourite star wars film? I'm not massively into star wars. If you asked what my favourite one was though I would actually say rogue 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original trilogy for sure, can't choose a single one from those though, as they all are important to the story! Rogue One is good, probably the best one out of the new Star Wars movies.

Empire Strikes Back A New Hope Return of the Jedi The Last Jedi Rouge One Then maybe Revenge of the Sith, but afterwards it's just into a muddled mess.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted October 5, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted October 5, 2021 This is probably how I'd rank the movies, personally: A New Hope/Empire Strike Back/Return of the Jedi (I refuse to choose favourites when it comes to the OT) Revenge of the Sith Solo Rogue One The Rise of Skywalker The Phantom Menace The Force Awakens The Last Jedi/Attack of the Clones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JarJar being an instant headache. I rather enjoy TLJ, so I'm not sure how you feel asleep during it...maybe should have watched it with better company!

Cicero 5,266 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 1. Empire Strikes Back 2. Revenge of the Sith 3. Return of the Jedi 4. Rogue One 5. A New Hope 6. The Phantom Menace 7. Attack of the Clones 8/9/10 - New Trilogy. Regarding a New Hope, I hope they make another Special Edition and include this scene in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the last 30 minutes or so, but among other things, I found the whole Kylo acting like an emo bitch, his and Rey's psychic connection, the side story at Canto Bight quite boring and annoying at times. Also, company??? In general, I prefer watching movies alone, to be honest, as then I can fully focus on the movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the end, not being selected is the best thing that ever happened to him... The abuse Jake Lloyd got (as a kid!) is fucking crazy. Star Wars fanbase is probably the worst there is.

Got bullied to no end, got arrested for reckless driving etc. later on, and then he's been institutionalized with paranoid schizophrenia last I've heard. I've seen interviews with him like 10 years back, and he really looked sad and troubled. Poor guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actor who played JarJar Binks also admitted years later that he even considered suicide because of the abuse he got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2021 Honestly though, that's amazing. We get to see Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan and Hayden as Anakin again! Must be a force ghost, surely? Or flashbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashbacks to the Clone Wars, and then Ahsoka finally reconciling with him as a force ghost. That would be fun... I'm also very curious about his role in Kenobi and about that advertised "rematch of the century"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
