'Serenity'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Apparently this is from the Star Wars shooting script:
Suddenly the slimy alien disappears in a blinding flash of light. Han pulls his smoking gun from beneath the table as the other patron[s] look on in bemused amazement.
Apparently the novelisation is also clear about Han's shot.
I had to explain to a guy last night that Tom Hardy was the actual draw for that movie...
Straight guys. They just don't understand...
Yeah, Lucas has lost his mind. To throw more on the fire, I remember seeing a picture of him actually wearing a "Han shot first" shirt a couple months ago.
I sometimes wonder if he just gets some kind of perverse pleasure out of screwing with his fanbase at this point.
Yeah, Lucas recently said the reason he didn't make Star Wars VII-IX is because how everyone said mean things about the first three (Phantom Menace, etc.)
Which contradicts what he's said earlier.
how everyone said mean things about the first three (Phantom Menace, etc.)
Yes because they SUCKED.
Based on how the last 3 movies turned out (not to mention Indy 4), I don't think it's exactly a tragedy to mankind that he flounced off and decided not to inflict more of his craptacular vision on the viewing public.
In all fairness, there was a decent action movie (not great, but decent) in Star Wars II. Unfortunately, it had to share screen time with the Worst. Romance. Ever.
Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo, Fred.
Paint me like one of your French girls, tommy.
