Fun fact: It does not matter who the parent or purchasing company is. Licensing and intellectual property still belong to the original company.
Fun fact: look at the Star Trek licensing fiasco created by multiple purchases and branching. CBS owns Star Trek. Paramount owns the movies, not JJ stuff, and every TV show except Disvovery. Bad Robot, JJ stuff which is licensed to produced Star Trek can’t use any of the costumes, props, set design, etc because a different branch of the same company holds the rights. Disvovery produced by CBS TV can’t use anything that resembles TOS because the wrong side of the house holds the rights as well.
Just because a parent company has a name attached does not mean they own the rights. Disneyland Paris had to rent and pay royalties to Disney for use of the characters and name Disneyland when it first opened. It did not fall under the Disney Parks umbrella.
Fun Fact: Darth Vader’s lightsaber changed in appearance in all 3 original movies. The one created for RotS had the ignition slide on the top of the hilt instead of the bottom. Vader’s lightsaber also hangs from his belt, blade up.
Anakin’s lightsaber changed in all 3 prequel movies before the New Hope version seen in RotS. In A New Hope the ignition switch was on the left of the hilt. It was moved in Empire for Mark to more easily use the prop.
Luke’s green saber is based on Blueprints Luke finds in Ben’s house on Tatooine. The scene was removed from the final cut, but remained in the comics and novel. It was placed on the Blu-Rey DVD set as a bonus track. Prior to the Blu-Rey the scene with Biggs and Luke at Tosche Station was never publicly shown in any format, yet everyone old enough to have seen Star Wars in 1977 swears it was shown. It was in the comic and novel and there is one picture in the original novel of Luke and Biggs standing on a roof looking skyward.

Blu-Rey is an inside joke referring to Mary Sue. There is a great gif of her solid blu like a smurf.
Now back to insane theory of Revan coming because Capt Phasma was a login toon and Chewie Shards were given as gifts once.

You’re right. Paramount and CBS are crazy and don’t know squat, it’s only been in the news since JJ started working on Trek. The Disney stuff has been since Paris Disneyland opened in 1992.
Because there’s a sith rework. We already have a thread on this. It’s in the what’s ahead as well.
At no point has anyone said there's a full sith rework. Palp may be getting something, but the full sith had a rework a year ago. They won't be getting one every year. That's just silly.
@Lord_Terminus So about that bet and the full sith rework...
Fun Fact: That is nota fact, only your opinion, and many people do not agree with you. Including people with alot more knowledge of filmmaking than I am guessing eighter of us have.
He’s an excellent director, and an even better special effects producer and visionary, he’s just a terrible writer.
I dispute this. The basic camera placement and scene direction in the prequels is atrocious. Shot-reverse shot. Shot-reverse shot. Over. and over. and over again. Sitting on couches. Turning around from windows. Just about anything not an effects shot is unimaginative. And really, would you have been satisfied with a lot of those line deliveries?

But yeah. Sith Assassin for February. Good deal.
Completely fair, but my nostalgic inner child totally has his fingers in his ears going “La la la, can’t hear you, not listening, la la la.”

I agree, but it's better than the horrendous slow-mo shots we had in the TLJ. Slow-mo, in Star Wars, ugh!
Lucas is a master storyteller, and his use of camera is part of that.
First you have too know that Lucas is inspired by, and a big fan of, art films that, like silent films, tell their story by picture and music alone. They often have simple camere placements and movements.
One of his big inspirations is Arthur Lipsetts 21-87: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFn-NobVaoI
And he presented, with Francis Ford Coppola, the Quatsi Trilogy.
Another huge inspiration for SW is the old Flash Gordon Serials. (And other similar series/movies)
Yes, he mostly keeps it simple, and that is the point. It also helps him tell a story with the camera like others don't. (Not to mention that it insures that the eudince can actually see what is happening, contrary to fast movements and shakycam.)
Take the Pod Race... He shot that sequence unlike other SW action sequenses and it tells a story when you think about two of the pillars of SW, history and mythology.
In many mythologies directions matter. Left=the past and Right=the future.
Now look at how the films that specific sequence. Alll the camera placements and movements are based on that concept.
We see a view from the back, showing where Anakin is going, we see a view from the front, showing where he is coming from, and we see a left too right movement.
At no time does the camera break from this.
With just camera and music we are told that Anakin is, in this point in the story, moving from his past life to his potential new life as a Jedi. He just has to reach the finishline.
It's simply but it has meaning. Which is more than what can be said for Abrams nostalgia-porn in TFA.
I also agree with Professor Camille Paglia (University of the Arts in Philadelphia) in that the end of Ep 3 is the greatest work of art in the last few decades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaW72ZchK6M
You know you own the entire set on Blu-Ray. You know you watch the whole series every time it’s on the man cave network. You know you ordered the life size JarJar from Sideshow. You know you have JarJar bed sheets and jammies. Don’t lie.

Fun fact, this is wrong.
I know because I owned the Lucasarts released "Behind the Magic" CD-ROM and that scene is on there.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Behind_the_Magic
"Behind the Magic" and "Making Magic" had a few of these rare scenes before they where included in DVD or BD releases.
(Slowly steering this boat back to sith assassin)
Blu-Rey is an inside joke referring to Mary Sue. There is a great gif of her solid blu like a smurf.
Now back to insane theory of Revan coming because Capt Phasma was a login toon and Chewie Shards were given as gifts once.
By all means, carry on.
Or how about addin Shaak Ti or Ki Adi Mundi?
Jedi rework march!!!
Fun fact: this is not how this works. This is not how any of this works.
So...it’s been 6 days, 2 reworked and 1 new toon. How’s that wager?

I stand by what I said. A new character doesn't make an entire sith rework.

What about now? Were getting three more Sith and Sith trooper getting a buff
@CleverWes
@CT11190 Fun question: you-you've seen them right?
Yes, multiple times.
But then I also appreciate what type of movies they are supposed to be, what themes they contain and how complex they are.
He's totally right...prequels sucks
