Clark's Madness

Hey! I'm Clark! I like to play Mario Party and other games with my friends for @ChildrensPhila @ExtraLife4Kids. #MarioPartyMadness every Monday night LIVE!

Ya. Its biggest sin was it made jabbas empire look so small.
Imagine instead of tusken raider flashbacks we got to see jabba in his prime as boba witnessed it so his motivations made sense. Boba at war with the twins. Its all unfortunate.

@SeptonFratelli Ooooorrrr… we were teased that this was gonna be a mob story in Star Wars, almost like the Godfather, and yet we were given the “Landlord of Tatooine”

[Clark's Madness @ClarksMadness]

This is fantastic. Wish gamorreans were in mando and grogu. They are the definitive hutt guard.

If you could change one thing about The Phantom Menace what would it be?

[Clark's Madness @ClarksMadness]

They couldve at least made him look more like the puppet, GIVEN HIM HIS TATTOO, and scar on his tail. And gave him three fingers. Basic stuff. Sigh.

[The Mighty Dud Bolt @mightydudbolt]

I know some people are never going to be okay with it, but Lucas simply liked this scene (sans the performance of the original Jabba actor), and he wanted to establish Han and Jabba's relationship as part of a subplot that would develop across the next two films (sorry, he didn't care about a Big Jabba Reveal). These are his openly stated reasons for restoring the scene.

In order for the scene to be restored, Han simply *has* to step on Jabba's tail (all proposed alternatives are either even sillier or unworkable editorially). The question is: can you sell it? Because it is a little outrageous.

I think the animators do a good job in the final version, because they actually integrate it into the core dynamic of the scene. Han (obviously) pisses off Jabba by stepping on his tail; if you notice, Han has, in fact, been deliberately provoking Jabba this entire time, because he's actually calling his bluff and daring Jabba to kill him right then and there, gambling that he won't actually do it, which will then force Jabba to negotiate.

Jabba, as you would expect, gets very mad, clenches his fist, and looks like he probably *is* about to kill Han. But then Han immediately starts sweet-talking him and even offers to pay Jabba back, "plus a little extra." Jabba then relaxes with an "Oh Han, you impudent scamp" look on his face and decides to play ball, because Han is "[his] boy" and "[he's] the best." If Jabba can't bring himself to kill Han now, Jabba has to acknowledge to himself that he doesn't actually want to kill him, and so he'll stop waffling on the issue by sending bounty hunters with deliberately ambiguous instructions, and he'll negotiate. So Han's ploy worked.

Of course, in order to accept all this, you have to grant that it's a good character scene (despite its partial redundancy) that's worth restoring in the first place. For various reasons, that is something that many people are radically against accepting. But if you start with the premise that it's a good scene, Han stepping on Jabba's tail is not that hard to justify. It is, in fact, part of establishing what Han and Jabba's relationship actually is at this point in time. It is not necessarily the same as it is in Return of the Jedi. Actually, it is obviously quite different. I don't think that is obviously a bad thing. I'm not sure what the point of including the scene would be if their relationship were portrayed as exactly the same.

[the mackdalorian @sithstrings]

i don't care if this is a controversial opinion but i really don't think rotta is anything like his father. i'd actually go as far as to say he's his own man.

[Clark's Madness @ClarksMadness]

@LonelyGoomba @JoPro_64 Ya hutts value entertainment. Their wealth is infinite. Remember they were more powerful than palpatine in the age of the empire. Palpatine controlled the tip of the iceberg. Hutts controlled everything under the water and built things around their own entertainment.

[Clark's Madness @ClarksMadness]

@sxips Love this so much. WORK IT.

[Clark's Madness @ClarksMadness]

@LonelyGoomba The stuff where it was developed (with the hutts) was the true highlight. I do wish we got a flashback w the twins, jabba and baby rotta tho

[Clark's Madness @ClarksMadness]

#TheMandalorianAndGrogu is literally better than empire strikes back. I love this film to pieces. Infinately rewatchable.
More a sequel to Return of the Jedis first act. And its a joy from start to finish.

[Clark's Madness @ClarksMadness]

@Kuuhaku3993 @LonelyGoomba Ya Which is the point. Its for a broader audience and it did that job. LOVE the show, tho i understand how lost a new person wouldve been

[Clark's Madness @ClarksMadness]

@LonelyGoomba See? Heartwarming af

[Clark's Madness @ClarksMadness]

We couldve told ya this twenty years ago. Jesus christ. Get on it.

The entire film was spoiled in marketing. There was no surprises after the fox poster was published.

[EdwardSabaVO @EdwardSabaVO]

Mario Fans, did any one of you actually get spoiled for the Mario Galaxy Movie?

If so, how and what scene was spoiled for you? #TheSuperMarioGalaxyMovie

[Children of the Watch: A Star Wars After Show @CotWatch]

I am happy to report that The Mandalorian and Grogu only gets BETTER with repeat viewings.

Saw it with another full crowd that LOVED it.

#TheMandalorianandGrogu continues to sit rent free in my head. Its ashame everyone feels im trolling. No. I base my Star Wars rank preferences on the kid in my heart. I love this franchise.

[Clark's Madness @ClarksMadness]

Rotta literally treated him like a little brother during #TheMandalorianAndGrogu

Not a pet.

[𝒟𝓇.𝒞𝓁𝒶𝓎 𝒯𝒽ℯℯ ℰ𝓃𝒷𝓎 ⨂ @clayreels]

One of the last times grogu was treated like an actual character and not a pet
