To say Empire is one of the best movies ever would still not fully encapsulate how good it is.
@JohnInTheShelter Жыл бұрын
I wish I could bottle the feelings I had on seeing EMPIRE opening night in 1980. It's still one of the great moviegoing experiences I've had. I had HUGE expectations for EMPIRE, and it didn't meet them--it exceded them. That's so very rare. To a 14 year old who loved SF, this movie was like meeting the Pope must be to a hardcore Catholic.

Nothing will ever beat models, because they are actually real!!!! There is always something that feels off with CGI. I feel like the only Star Wars movie to ever do CGI well was Revenge of the Sith and maybe that's because they also blended it with models.

This is crazy how astonishingly beautiful this movie looks. "Its beauty cold and austere". It's also deeply symbolic. See how the movie starts and ends with the nightfall (Luke getting lost in the snowstorm & the heroes fleeing the Cloud City as the sun sets and the night comes). Luke & his friends are like children, getting lost in the dark, finding themselves, and then running into the night alone again. This is one of the reasons why this film had such a tremendous emotional impact on children back in the day.

Well, depending on your girlfriend that may be true, but as far as movies go I'll take the indoor theatre any day. The sound is going to be 10 times better, no cars driving by, and you're way closer to the screen. But the big difference is the audience reaction. In a crowded movie theatre you can feel the audience's emotions. Laughter, shock, surprise, startles, delight, screams, you can feel all of that and it makes a big difference. It's like having a laff track. When I watched Star Trek IV and Scotty said "Helloooo computer," everyone, especially all the nerds, belly laughed and honestly it created a sense of community amongst the audience. When I watch that movie at home, some jokes that got a big laugh in the theatre, like "Everyone remember where we parked," sail right by and they don't even register as jokes. I love watching movies with an audience. There is no comparison!

George Lucas is or was always very quick to dismiss the original films as being for children and whilst I agree with that there isn’t actually a single scene that I can recall from the OT that has a child in it. There’s no actual children whatsoever. Star Wars takes place in an almost entirely adult populated galaxy.

am i the only person who wonders why those hyperspace pods can not be used as super long range missiles or Kamikaze Drones? just slap a huge warhead or multiple warheads in instead of the probe droid. This would work SUPER WELL when combined with a probe droid doing recon and calling down the strikes with extreme precision. It would be a great first strike weapon, very hard to defend against and be perfect for making a star destroyer far more effective with a much longer reach. Imagine a huge ion warhead loaded into those missiles and you could shut down an entire city or large orbital facility then have your fleet waiting on stand by immediately jump in and demand a surrender. even better you could disguise it as an asteroid so it would arrive in system looking harmless to anybody not watching closely and then the asteroids could wait for a command from hyperspace to start bombing their targets.
