Star Wars 7 shit talk

I hear utility meter data figures heavily in the JJ Abrams sequels fyi

"whatever you were going for there failed

― linda cardellini (zachlyon),"

Haha. Oh dear linda cardellini, oh. dear. I should've worked some Shakaespeare in too.

that Serafinowicz thing is a little time investment but it does build and build, fucking diiiiiiiiied laughing just now when it got to the issue of Terence Stamp's compensation (no spoilers).

i have been sonned don't forget me

Cardellini you've been sonned by a sock.

the joke's on you i'm not actually linda cardellini

no that means jokes definitely still on you

TPM has essentially nothing any Star Wars fan needs to see.

TPM has all of the ludicrous Queen Amidala wigs and makeup, which everyone needs to see.

a couple of ilx challops

you and rt both really need to take a step back from ilx imo

haha challumps am i right

Still haven't figured out the relationship between Padme and Queen Amidala xp

lol

Queen is an elected position on their planet (!) and her full name is Padme Amidala or some shit, iirc

xpost this is going to blow your mind, but padme and queen amidala are played by the same actress (natalie portman)! their characters also have a lot in common. i could explain more but it gets pretty nerdy

!

Why is one named Padme and the other is named Queen Amidala?

Sorry, that's jsut the first questino to pop into mym ind

Honestly this movie is so solidly pitched at Shakey's demographic I mean just look at this screencap

Loooooooool

one is the Queen, one is the Queen's body double

amidala truthers are the worst

Queen amidala is her official name, Padme is her first name. They are the same character. She pretended to be her own handmaiden under the name Padme for a bit in TMP so she could check out tattooine or something.

Who was the Queen then while Padme was the handmaiden

Why do they have different accents if they're the same person?

but who pretended to be queen amidala? was there a real padme? someone once told me one of the padmes was keira knightley. is that true? why doesn't norma care that her sister's in the black lodge?

System you're supposed to warn me about xposts!

i can see rewatching the canonical original trilogy if it's with a child who hasn't seen it before.

except that's no longer possible, right?

@NickPinkerton
If you were a kid in the 70s, I can understand why Star Wars is important to you. Baffling otherwise. In that respect it's like KISS fandom.

^he's a film critic

with the internet, all things are possible.

guys, amidala was the white swan; I never understand why everyone gets this confused.

It was a callback to Carrie Fisher's performance in the first film.

Huh, Sofia Coppola was a handmaid as well.

I mean just look at this screencap

lol well played

relevant resource: http://royalhandmaidensociety.org/

John Simon called Leia "Organic Lay."

except that's no longer possible, right?

? I just re-watched ESB and ROTJ with my 7yo daughter, it was her first time seeing them. ESB is p good ROTJ is stupid, and even the Ewoks/Endor gave her pause.

xp

Guys... what if there were actually three Queen Amidalas?

Producer Rick McCallum did nothing to help our cause during on online chat with fans. Here's the text of the Lucasfilm chat from June 7, 1999:

ASKLucasfilm: Jedi-Al says: Rick, was it a separate actress that played the "fake" queen, when Natalie was Padme on screen? I didn't see her name in the credits.

RickMcCallum: No, it's Natalie that plays both parts.

Thanks a lot Rick!

all the handmaidens rule together; they just take turns with the makeup+hair

Shakey, what I meant was the PURE, unfucked-with-by-GL original-release versions are not unavailable unless you have some videotapes from the '90s.

ah. yeah I don't have those.

I got that on VHS somewhere at home but it has commercials

I have those but only in P&S format

I remember picking the silver color too over the gold color one (the letterbox) at Shoprite

What a fool

you kids and your aspect-ratio problems

IIRC, for those "special feature" reissues of the untouched OG trilogy, George Lucas pretty much just played some of his old Betamax copies on a shitty TV and videotaped the results.

Yep. They look TERRIBLE. Like one-fourth the size of whatever screen you view them on, blurry, just awful.

In a Reddit interview with fans, when asked who shot first, Harrison Ford's reply was simply, "I don't know and I don't care." In a 2014 photo posted by Industrial Light and Magic's Twitter feed, the actor is shown holding a piece of paper that reads "I shot first."

been covered in this thread many times but anyone who cares abt this stuff need only search for "star wars despecialized" in the right parts of town
