Lets talk all things Star Wars

Beautiful, can't wait to see it!

Here's one question that just popped into my mind randomly: In ESB, when Luke is escaping on the Falcon and Vader calls to him through the Force, why did it sound like mechanical voice and not Anakin? Sure, could be it's for the audience, but nonetheless...

 

[Treadwell]

We heard Vader because the camera was on him when he was doing it. Probably speaking verbally as well as mentally. We were not shown what Luke was "hearing" because the camera was only on him when he was reacting/responding.

Also at that point Vader is still Vader and not Anakin. So it makes sense for his voice to be that of Vader's with the mechanical aspect as the machine body is part of who he is until he's redeemed.

Okay that looks pretty damn good!

For this years firework show, and like last year, I had a screen with video and music playing to the fireworks.
I had this idea for several years and mostly got to do it. So towards the end, it goes into this mix of Anakin and Obi-wan (at that point with no fireworks) and ends with the battle using the Scene 38 reimagined footage, but I still edited that up a bunch.
Heres my edit that everyone saw on the screen, with the full show to be eventually uploaded in my fireworks show thread.

Here are a few screen caps from the night and what the crowd saw.

As you can see from the background, the night was insane, and lighting things with everyone at their timed parts was like being in a war zone.

VIDEO: screen matched ROTJ Endor speeder bike chase; California redwood forest locations then and now

This is REALLY fun! I recommend watching the whole video, but the start of each segment/clip is time queued for you:

I always loved how the first Shrek threw in the tree forest chase real quick.

And then The Incredibles had to do it as well.

That action sequence is still one of the best in the entire franchise. The way Luke takes down the last Imperial Scout is still one of my favorite moments with Luke.

Certainly one of many Jedi highlights..
My mate had a hooky copy which cut out half the scene so when I went to see it in the cinema I was not prepared for the second part of the chase..

You can't beat watching it on The Big Screen!

Does the Star Wars universe have any kind of "Prime Directive" law? Doesn't seem like anyone gives half a fig about going to any less advanced planet and using high technology there.

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

Nope, that's why Mandalore is practically a wasteland. Plus the Sith would be all "**** that!".

No need for “Prime Directive”, Star Wars has Ewok’s that would kill hundreds of “Red Shirts” and then eat them. “Don’t be too proud of this technical terror you’ve constructed.High technology is insignificant next to the Ewok Tribe.”

 

[Psab keel]

Considering Star Wars is more space fantasy than science fiction I'd imagine a "prime directive" or equivalent to be almost non-existent in this world. I mean War is in the title and it's obvious diplomacy isn't necessarily the goal of these stories, nor a key element of them. Sure you might hear the word used from time to time, but it almost never plays a role in the plot.
