My wife picked up a six pack of these to kick off the weekend. Please call an ambulance for me now

@mightydudbolt The digital clones move with perfect precision and efficiency, but what about the Jedi generals? Would you grant that the live actors look like clumsy cosplayers? (Maybe it's a dramatic irony, like the Jedi don't fully appreciate the clone army that will eventually kill them all)

If I made movies and tv shows and music I would do it perfectly and make it excellent, why doesn’t everyone do that?

When Cerise was born, a friend gifted me a subscription to a newsletter on parenting. It's good, but sometimes I'm amazed by what they tell you not to do: don't call your child dumb and ugly, don't punish them for being left handed, etc. I guess some parents needed to hear that!

@mightydudbolt Jabba eating the frog is certainly symbolic of how he consumes Oola, even if it isn't literal.

God help me, I've discovered Star Wars Twitter

[Skimp Shrampi @stopcatstop]

Jedi has a lot of problems; Ewoks aren't actually one of them.

[Film Facts 🎬 @Factsonfilm]

Denis Villeneuve has no interest in making a Star Wars film

• He was once obsessed with Star Wars — calling 'Empire Strikes Back' his most anticipated movie ever

• Franchise was 'derailed' with 'Return of the Jedi' — 'it became a comedy for kids'

• Dislikes the Ewoks to this day

@mightydudbolt Oh shit. I remember thinking that, actually.

[Skimp Shrampi @stopcatstop]

@mightydudbolt In the original film, Oola falls through the trap door, we hear screams and roars, and that's it. In the SE, significant effort was expended to bring back the original actress and create new shots of Oola in the rancor pit. Why?

The choice to not play a score over the Death Star trench run until the most experienced pilot dies is one of the greatest editing decisions of all-time

george lucas is the goat of all time

@BTIsaac2 @Millevoiyager Complain? I'm celebrating it.

[Skimp Shrampi @stopcatstop]

Love this. Keep it coming. Let's have eight paragraphs about why R2 is hiding behind rocks, then in the wide shot, they're not there. Let's have a novella about why Luke screams as he falls to escape Vader in Cloud City, and the sound is borrowed from the Emperor's death in Jedi.

Visually, you can see the stark change in Han and Jabba's relationship between A New Hope and Return of the Jedi.

When the Special Edition was being produced, the animators specifically asked Lucas if Jabba should have slime dripping out of his mouth like in ROTJ. Lucas said no. Many people have noted Jabba's eyes seem more yellowish in ANH and have wondered why. Well, obviously, it makes him look more benign. Jabba is presented differently in ANH, and Lucas was obviously fully aware of this and actually visually emphasized it.

This is because Lucas was clearly more interested in Jabba as a character who had a relationship with Han than he was in a Big Reveal. I know people love Big Reveals. Ironically, despite being responsible for the most famous Big Reveal in film history, Lucas does not seem extremely intrigued by them.

@Millevoiyager I think it's quite significant and funny

[Skimp Shrampi @stopcatstop]

@Millevoiyager Be that as it may, the scream was included in the theatrical and VHS release. Tens of millions of people heard it!

[Skimp Shrampi @stopcatstop]

@KimShady415 I think it's a great bit.

@mightydudbolt Now go for the gold: explain "Maclunkey."
