What ruined Star Wars more: Midichlorians, or Jar Jar Binks?

Date: November 5th, 2015 9:36 PM Author: Vivacious Stage I actually think it was midichlorians. Suddenly "the Force" isn't some enigmatic, mystical, awesome power, it's just a bunch of...microscopic organisms, or something? Seriously, what in the fuck is a midichlorian?

Date: November 5th, 2015 9:48 PM Author: Buck-toothed grizzly national filthpig Pretty sure the original trilogy had plenty of green (back then blue) screens. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3036980&forum_id=2#29120757) |
|
Date: November 5th, 2015 9:52 PM Author: Vivacious Stage the original trilogy barely used green/blue screens - the death star trench run was filmed by building a death star trench model out of wood, metal and plastic, putting some cameras above and inside the model, and then driving by the model in a pickup truck and throwing small explosives at it. (no, seriously, there's a video of the original star wars special effects team doing this.)
but even if we overestimate a bit and say the original star wars was like 10% green screens, the fact is that the prequels were like 50+% green screens. every fucking scene is shot in front of a bunch of gungans or flying ships or droid armies or giant fake waterfalls or whatever the fuck. it's horrible. |
|
Date: November 5th, 2015 9:55 PM Author: Buck-toothed grizzly national filthpig In the prequals, Lucas used sets that could have come out Star Trek: The Next Generation, but thought he could make the scene interesting by green-screening windows with thousands of little flying things in them. Lol, nope. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3036980&forum_id=2#29120817) |
|
Date: November 5th, 2015 9:48 PM Author: Vivacious Stage actually this might be the correct response. fucking George Lucas, he shot all the prequels in front of a green screen and 90% of it is just fucking boring political dialogue between two people in a room with no action. it's like watching C-SPAN with added special effects.

Date: November 5th, 2015 9:51 PM Author: adventurous slate nursing home reading party yeah this is basically the overarching thesis of the red letter media videos
even if the story somehow gets partially redeemed in the future (sith jar jar!) it can't change the fact that there are about 5 minutes in phantom menace and maybe 30 minutes in ROTS where anything interesting happens |

Date: December 15th, 2017 7:57 PM Author: soggy appetizing point midichlorians was more undermining of the basic structure of star wars mythology but jar jar was more aesthetically repulsive
the former on its own would be disappointing/careless but you could still create a decent movie using that concept. the latter just makes it unwatchable. |
