Best part of the prequels is taking a shot for Padme randomly changing into another immaculately designed outfit.

Just realized I am a couple eps away from that arc. Hooray! Have also started rebels so will go back to clones before continuing.
Doesn't Obi-Wan joke about how many outfits she has at one point?

People that dislike Anakin really need to watch all of the Clone Wars,
Actually a decent character there that you start to understand why he loses trust in the Jedi.
(though nothing will make up for straight up murdering kids though.)

Anakin is the same character as Vader and both trilogies are in the same canon, so they can in some way.
The way they portrait vaders youth and turn to the dark side ruined a lot of the OT Vader character.

If you let 'em, sure.
They're also completely separate movies. So you can judge them on their own merits as films.
I agree that the portrayal of Anakin Skywalker and his transition to Darth Vader in ROTS ultimately hurts the image of Darth Vader in the OT, if you let that influence your perception. But there's no reason you need to let that dominate your own view of the material. I just don't imagine a burned Hayden Christiansen under that armor when I'm watching Eps 4-6.

It's not mutually exclusive, surely. While I (hope) that I am capable of judging a film on its own merits, the knowledge of the full narrative would automatically color my perception of a character and their arc. Nothing short of pretending the other films don't exist or don't count would alleviate that.
I'm watching through The Clone Wars right now and while I can root for Anakin and his adventures, I also can't help but think "you arrogant little shits" every time him and Ahsoka pride themselves as delinquent Jedi.
To be fair, the council is beyond shitty sometimes.
And they're just following Qui-Gon's footsteps

I didn't say that it was. Just that you don't have to let the quality of a completely separate movie color your perception of one made previously. People like to act like they're powerless to think that way, and they aren't at all. It's a choice they make, to buy into that as fully as they do. They're not compelled to do it.

Yar, that's just it. On one hand, this particular episode I'm watching put the Council in an unsympathetic light. On the other hand, I have knowledge that, when it's all said and done, Anakin's not actually any better. Sometimes, it's a bummer.
This is one of those things that are logically sound but are emotionally difficult to accomplish.

A couple days before the movie comes out. I'm pretty good at avoiding spoilers. What podcasts were they?
Trisha Beggar, who was the lead costume designer for all three prequels.
Yes, in typical dry Obi-Wan fashion.
Forceast recently, sadly, they do the whole dance around certain things then keep "hinting" over and over til you get the damn point.
Rebel Force Radio seems quite loose about it to

But it wasn't said in a literal sense that his evil face was somehow his natural appearance that he had been hiding by any intention. It just meant that it was more accurate a look for the person he really was. The fact remained that he burned his face off with his own lightning.
He's basically saying its ironic that he looks evil as fuck now, cause, well, he is. And then he goes on to say it will serve because he then goes and uses it as proof that the Jedi are the bad guys by claiming they did it to him. Which is in the movie too.

If its what I'm thinking (the thing in the poster?), one of their shows spoiled that for me a couple months ago, because starwars.com had something about it. So when I heard it on one of the recent shows I already knew.

Try Coffee with Kenobi. Those dudes are pretty hardcore against knowing any spoilers going into the movie's launch.

Uhh...New Newsweek cover (without text):
Is that Luke in the corner...?

Well, I can't unsee that now.
Ooo I finally get to do one of these:
Emperor does sort of look like him though as well

Haha goddamnit. My boss has been nagging me for a few days saying that he thinks Luke turns.

Isn't that just a collage of the series characters? I don't think it's hinting at anything.
Don't feel bad. I had the exact same thought at first.

I think I can see it. Newsweek and Lucasfilm were really tricky with this one. I found Luke in the bottom right corner actually, he's in the shroud you just gotta:
1) take a picture of your computer screen
2) upload the picture to your computer or directly to a printer
3) print the picture
4) put the picture up near a mirror
5) put your head through the god damn mirror
luke is never turning to the dark side.

He even said it himself.
It's like people never watched ROTJ.
It reminds me of people wondering whether it was Luke talking in the second teaser. Though granted, not everyone knows the lines by heart

from my point of view that is wrong. i have the higher ground.
To be honest, it's still better than anything I've seen from Rebels.
"Relics from the Old Republic" was really nice to look at last week.
Also that poster is severely missing some Qui-Gon Jinn and Phasma
Screw Qui-Gon and Phasma, it needs some Poe Dameron.

The Shrek series has gone too far.

question:
Is this movie filmed in 48fps or higher?
I am thinking if I should watch it in 3D or not, if its not High frame rate I will not be seeing this in 3D as it just blur the movie up

It was not shot on trash 48fps. It was shot on glorious 35mm film (with some sequences shot in IMAX 70mm) at 24fps (god's frame rate).

Yikes, then no 3D for me. Hate the blur and smudge effect it gives on low frame rate film

Well, it's not like 48fps is a common thing.

Yeah the 3D is post convert. It's all about making extra $$ on ticket sales for the 3D on this one. The intended way to THE FORCE AWAKENS is in 2D. (And well 35mm or IMAX 70mm would really be the best way, but good luck finding a print anywhere lol)
Better that shitty looking 48 fps movies that look like a bad theater play

The scene with Tarkin works so well!

well I truly liked it and hope it comes back bigger than ever.
BUT I get what your saying, the costumes and special effects like hair and make up needs to be PERFECT for it to work. if they get that stuff down, then High frame rate is the future and the only way to go.
I dont like to watch a blurry mess when I watch 3D and with normal film that tends to happen.
