This thing is so bad it's embarrassing.
Not only cheating, but spraying cake paint on the real objects? That's double cheating.
This episode was absolutely amazing. Makes you think a lot and at the end, I'm not sure who was the "bad guy". But Cory is a manipulative SOB.
The thing I really liked was when after Thrawn shows up, the 2 main villains of the show are showed as completely insignificant.
I thought the finale was not satisfying.
I think they focused too much on the football result. Then when it happened, they had no time to deal with the character stories.
I think they should have ended the football on the penultimate episode. The finale should have been only on the characters. Many of them we don't know what happened to them. What happened to Keeley, Roy and Jamie for example?
Great episode. I finally started to feel things again and have few tears after the last 6-7 episodes where I didn't feel much.
The most uninteresting episode ever.
The end proved that they do have light bulbs and they can light a scene. This makes it even more unacceptable that they do not light the other ships or I should say the entire series correctly. Just few days ago I say an episode of The Orville and was amazed how different and better it looked. You don't have to light everything with a flat light like they did in the original series.
Aren't the main 3, brother and sisters? Kit, Airk and Elora?
Fun. Lots of laughs. I don't like Trent Crimm!
I don't trust Trent Crimm. I'm afraid he is a spy working for the other team!
I thought this was absolutely amazing. I even want to say one of the best of any Star Wars series. The best part was the Coruscant scenes. It was so magical and I was completely drawn into it. Just the environment and them talking.
The jokes were good and especially the last once. Number of incidents...
You have to go to a dangerous place to explore, for the first time, would you bring a kid with you?
Bo-Katan is great. Make her the lead.
I was very surprised Maggie Q didn't do any martial arts at the end.
This series was so bad. Unbelievable.
How stupid this was. Why going to the hospital for a knee injury, makes them find out she is pregnant?
This episode was so bad. Unbelievably bad and boring. The 2 went into 4 and 4 went out into 6? So next 8 is going to explode?! What the f they are talking about?! Give me a break.
Spoilers. I always had problems with Cassian since Rogue One but this series takes it to another level. He is a walking cold blooded serial killer! This series starts with him killing 2 people. He walks around killing regular people but not taking down an equivalent of a Nazi ranking officer at the beginning of the season. Then comes this episode that enraged me the most. He kills another person for absolutely no reason. The whole point was that they stole the Empire money so it doesn't matter who does what. The Empire has less money. He could have done hundred of things like actually tell them, hey guys this guy wants to steal the money or other stuff instead of being a judge, jury and executioner. And since when he cares about someone stealing some thing from someone else. I can't write enough to say how much I dislike Cassian Andor.
This was not very good. They don't tell a story. It's like they filmed many scenes and edited them together randomly. You can cut out 5 minutes segments randomly and you wouldn't notice it.
The Seal moment was hilarious.
I kind of think they sharked the jump a little! I think the new actress is not as good as the younger version. Not the same presence. So all this is complicated. Don't know if they should have done a better casting for the older version or cast only one actress for both time periods. There was a huge disconnect in this episode. I'm not as invested as before.
This shows all that is wrong with this new format. The team that had all 3 survived should have won. Not only the last volcano part is uninteresting, it also causes the better team to lose.
The actors are so badly cast. They look like B-List actors. Galadriel for example looks like an average person. Nobody has that special magical look.
This looks incredibly beautiful and pleasant to look at. My only worry is that it seems they have not spent much on casting. Galadriel for example. I wish they had cast someone with a more unique and cinematic look. The actor just looks like your average person.
While there was no doubt Rick was a wonderful producer for George, he was not universally loved by cast and crew.
A lot of people don't like him. I have no idea what the problem is, but I know that. And people close to George have told me that.
Howard Kazanjian, just adorable... and then Rick McCallum.
It's interesting that with the third movie where they finally had full control, so many things went wrong and it was also an unpleasant experience for ILM people.
Also amazing how much they disliked Richard Marquand and didn't think he was fit for the project.
"George was on the set every day for Return of the Jedi. George was back and now stuck doing exactly what he tried
so hard to avoid. Then George chose to do the second unit himself so it was a good backup. For this movie, George was leaving nothing to chance. He had no idea what to do and you saw this on a daily basis. And, so, with nobody in charge...
Or one-and-a-half people in charge, there was a lack of focus. There was no sense of the right person being in the right job. George Lucas' hand-picked director had lost the confidence of his cast. Daniels felt very much like, he was dismissed
and ignored by Marquand. It's like this man is a complete fake and the more his "fakerism"... New word, came to the fore, the more pathetically bullying he became. He tried to pick on people. He tried to pick on me. I didn't like that. This was a problem. He was dealing with a director who couldn't direct frankly.
Amazing episode. Things I did not know before.
"Kurtz was very influential in picking Kershner."
"The trouble was, producer Gary Kurtz was concealing the truth from George and the truth was, things weren't looking good. Gary was not reporting the figures."
"George Lucas had done the impossible and topped the first Star Wars movie... or maybe it was Irvin Kershner who'd topped George Lucas. When The Empire Strikes Back comes out and it gets much better critical reviews, Lucas blames Kershner. Lucas says, "They're reviewing Kershner. They're not reviewing Star Wars." and ultimately what he realized was Kershner put an individual stamp on Empire that Lucas didn't really want. People credited Kershner with elevating the material and that offended Lucas. Well, offended or not... the truth is now, more than ever, that The Empire Strikes Back is a bit of a masterpiece."
What a monumental chance and luck they had to achieve this. Exceptional people happen to be at the right time with the right project. People who elevated the project to the next level. Ralph McQuarrie, John Dykstra, John Williams, Ben Burtt, Marcia Lucas. It is such a lucky once in a lifetime chance that at the end of the project, you should be jumping up and down, happy and thanking anything you believe in!
Great series. I have 2 ILM books from 20-30 years ago and it is a nostalgic look to see the same images. It is bittersweet because at the end of episode 2 you still see like Lucas holding a grudge. Like he can't enjoy the moment or be grateful and happy with what he has, what they achieved. The visual effect visionary was John Dykstra and people at ILM who made everything themselves, even the materials. Not Lucas that didn't know what they were doing and who wanted to fire Dykstra.
