Gladiator 2 and Episode 2 similarities

After watching gladiator 2 I saw a lot of shots that I feel were directly inspired by the prequels. My favorite of the being when an unnamed gladiator attempts to climb the colosseum to kill the twin emperors and the lead pretorian guard shot him with a bow, felt just like Coleman Trebor attempting to get Dooku and Jango killing him. Just seeing if others share the same thoughts!

Somehow, Skeleton Crew is Captain EO

Captain EO is a 17-minute film made for Disneyland by Lucasfilm in 1986, starring Michael Jackson. There was speculation before Skeleton Crew came out that some connection existed between the two; I don't think we need to call it "speculation" anymore.

Whether Skeleton Crew merely pays homage to Captain EO or whether it is setting something up I don't know (but I would guess the former). Either way, go watch Captain EO and then keep your eyes out! I bet there will be more. For my part, I'm hoping the awesome spaceship from Captain EO shows up in Skeleton Crew.

What is the music that plays when Obi Wan and Yoda clear the Jedi temple and discover Anakin became Vader?

I can not for the life of me figure out where to find this music track. It’s the music that plays RIGHT when Obi wan goes through the security holograms and sees Anakin kneeling before Sidious. I need reddits big brain to find the exact name of this song.

Hypothetical Original Trilogy Remake Castings

No need to get on me this isn’t gonna happen but let’s assume Disney decided to remake the original trilogy with younger actors, modern visuals, and better acting and writing (and not getting pc or deferring from the source material), who would be the right castings for characters?

Realistically, Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christiansen, Ian McDiarmid, Alden Ehrenreich, Donald Glover, Joel Edgerton, and Bonnie Piesse are all the right age currently to premise their roles as Obi-Wan, Anakin/Vader, Palpatine, Han, Lando, Owen, and Beru respectively. Disney owns the rights to Peter Cushing’s likeness and has already deepfaked him once into Rogue One (surprisingly well).

Who would be ideal young actors to play Luke and Leia?

Skeleton crew = Goonies

Skeleton Crew is basically star wars with a Goonies feel. Let me tell you, after watching the first two episodes I'm all in. Fuck yeah Star Wars Goonies. The kid actors are great and you know what, I'm having a good fucking time watching it. This is what star wars is about.

Why StarWars fan don’t accept and don’t like that Luke skywalker is “ what anakin should’ve become “?

I don’t understand why some people don’t like that concept Of the son redeeming father sin by becoming something his father should have been , Achieved the height he will never reach

Isn’t Luke skywalker supposed to be the best of everyone mixed and put into one person?

According to George Lucas EBS commentary, Luke skywalker inherits almost all of his father potential , if not…straight up equal

He got kindness and compassion from his mother ,

He got focus and calmness from Obi-wan ,

Wisdom and discipline from yoda ,

Power and fury from anakin ,

He has good and caring family , he has enough maturity once he start training no bullshix old jedi registrations He has friends and good mentor

He has self control and patience More balance and pure connection with the force

The greatest Jedi ever exist in history

He is what happen if anakin skywalker was put in the better environment without anything holding himback , They even lose the same hand , And has the same droids

And I have seen a lot…don’t like that , Many still believe if anakin reach his potential like in prophecy he could be a force Jesus or something….entirely another level from what we have seen Ignoring the message of the film and the importance of good mentality

Obi-Wan Kenobi Show

Does anyone else think that when Darth Vader says “You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker…..I did.” That the “I did” sounds like a voice projection from Palpatine? It’s the least similar tone of the whole Anakin/vader voice distortion.

What if the Star Wars universe had the Bene Gesserit from Dune, established several decades after the Ruusan Reforms, and is considered by most in the galaxy to be a Grey or Light Side counterpart to the Witches of Dathomir?

Right what it says on the tin. Would this version of the Bene Gesserit be focused on improving/evolving only Humans and Near Humans, or all sentient species? - This would be a native Star Wars development, (not a crossover), so they wouldn't be genocidally against droids, but as Truthsayers, would be less willing to work with them and distrust them more from a philosophical and economic viewpoint as competition, (particularly tactical and protocol droids), rather than a matter of religious dogma and the trauma of war.

There’s something very fishy about this planet

Like it felt so perfect without any flaws, a lot of robots being in control, and there no mention of the New Republic.

R2-D2 Personality

Something that has always made me think is what is R2-D2 actual personality supposed to be. I'm not sure because throughout the media it has given me different signals, and the fact that it doesn't "speak" does not help either. Is it supposed to have a coward personality or a funny one? Nervous or stoic? What do you think?

Which one gave us the best laughs? 🤣

There may be one or two that I overlooked but these 6 droids have definitely made us all laugh on many occasions! The question is which one gave us the real hard laughs? lol personally I think it might be Chopper but I also love the sarcasm that Huyang and K-2SO brought to the screen 🤣 this is a tuff one… Roger Roger

Which sabacc to play

My friends and I are having a Star Wars poker night so sabacc. The problem is which type do I get corellian spike or kessel sabacc. They’re both similar enough in the way they play, the problem comes with shift tokens, kessel sabacc makes the game more interesting imo and I think is cheaper but may be too much for me to teach what each one does for one night Corellian spike is easier to get your head around but is quite pricey, very niche question for the most hardcore fans but I’m hoping someone can help me, cheers.

do you think they should have put the son of dathomir arc into season 7 of the clone wars?

i hope in the future they animate this arc, i really like this arc. i also thought it made no sense for them to not include this arc into season 7, as most casual viewers who watch then clone wars would be confused. the last time they saw maul, he was getting tortured by sidious, but now he is back in power on mandalore. i think most casual viewers have probably never read the son of dathomir comics. i don't know, but what is your opinion?

I think I found a keeper

This girl I've been talking to ask if she could use her gold paint marker on my track bike. I figured, at the worst I can hit it back with matte black (I do this every now and again to keep it looking as well as I can for a track bike). She writes this...love it.

One Thing That Really Confuses Me...

Is where the Jedi fit into the cultural ethos of the New Republic. On one hand they are treated like a myth but on the other they are the heroes of old. Any clue what's what?

Recasting Iconic Characters

I feel that we should normalize recasting iconic characters when the story calls for it as opposed to clinging to the original actor using CGI. We've seen cases like Ewan McGregor where he's able to make that character his own and now he's largely seen as the "true" version of Obi-Wan for lack of a better term. Using CGI is the safe nostalgia feeding play. Recasting allows the character to be a real character, and for the story to feel real. So I would like to open this up for your opinions! How do you feel about recasting vs. CGI/CGI de-aging?

Did George Lucas intended to have The Galactic Republic to be founded after the Sith went into hiding because otherwise what was his version of Ancient Galactic History before the Sith went into hiding and The rise of Darth Bane?

Granted In a new hope you have the Jedi being around for 1000 generation as guardians of peace and justice in the old republic.

And then in attack of the clones you have Palpatine seen the republic stood for 1000 years. Yes I am aware of the Lord reasons in both the U and Cannon, where you have the Ruusan Reformation but still, I am curious of what Lucas intends for his backstory of Star Wars before the EU and Cannon filling things out in great detail.

Obviously, the Jedi had to be founded but you also the Phantom Menace novelization in which you had the backstory of the Sith such Darth Bane and the a rogue Jedi founding the Sith which are based on Lucas's notes under the 2000 year number it has it turned out to be an error essentially what he actually meant was at least according to the oral history of the Phantom Menace. He intend to have the 2000 year mark referring to the Sith empire ruling the galaxy before in fighting and collapse, as well as the Jedi?

Now, if I recall, there is also a detail from the revenge of the script where I cut dialogue from Kenobi when he was at Padme apartment after he find out that Anakin turned to the dark side where he says, will the Sith rule again as they did before the founding of the republic?

So I am curious to know how much Lucas outline the backstory for the galaxy at least thousands of years prior to defense of the prequel and original trilogy? Otherwise what is the following order as follows at least based on Lucas especially the ones I point out like the novelization of the TPM which included the history of the Sith?

Like was there no ols republic or Galactic republic at all in his version and his version of history the Sith empire was the first Galactic government before the republic was formed?
