    Loved the movies, but since it' s an online shooter I assume it won' t have much of a story ? Pity considering the material.

    The exception being Spielberg, he did listen to him. That' s why the rest of the crew used him as a relay every time they wanted to plead for something. I' m glad he helped on Revenge of the Sith because Lucas' direction is super rigid. That shot at the beginning with the huge ship crashing on Coruscant, sliding up to the camera and stopping right in front of it for us to see the cockpit ? That has Spielberg written all over. Lucas wouldn' t have thought of that in a million years.

    He might also be the only who knew exactly what he was signing for since his uncle (Denis Lawson) had a role in the old trilogy (he played Wedge Antilles).

    What I' m about to tell you was true ten years ago, I didn' t really keep up with the industry but I don' t expect things to have changed that much. Anyone can feel free to correct me though.

    Depends what you intend to do with it. Macs are more stable/professional, but tend to be pricey for no real reason. You' re essentially buying a pretty box. They' re usually favored by professional graphic designers (though I personally still hated them for their single-button mouses).

    If you need more versatility you' d be better off with a PC. They' re cheaper, and although Windows isn' t exactly stable (far from it) good luck finding a program that isn' t Windows compatible. Besides, if you need to be able to switch between versatility and stability nothing stops you from installing both Windows and Linux.

    From what I' ve read in a Lucasfilm magazine way back when, Lucas often digitally blended several performances into one. Like "use that shot until 0:10, that shot until 0:13 and that one till the cut". He didn' t do this just for Anakin, they mentioned doing it for Padme too.

    I didn' t think Anakin' s acting was that bad considering the dialogues it was meant to illustrate. I wouldn' t be surprised to hear Lucas asked him to stick to the happy/neutral/pouty dynamic we ended up with. I mean come on, let' s face it, Natalie Portman acted better than him but it' s still the poorest performance I' ve ever seen her deliver. Hands down.

    Am I the only one who thought Anakin' s acting improved drastically in Revenge of the Sith ?

    If you' re lucky and/or know what you' re doing you can get the car to grip the road again.

    The driving school where I got my license had special tires they could use to simulate icy roads and teach you that stuff.
    It wasn' t part of the standard license lessons though, you had to pay extras.

    French for Star Wars is La Guerre des Etoiles, which actually means Stars War.
    In the earliest versions all the names had been literally translated, funny how you don' t notice how utterly ridiculous their names are when they' re left in a foreign language. The Clone Wars somehow became the Black Wars. Darth Vader became Dark Vador and 3PO became 6PO. Don' t ask. They fixed it long before the special editions (though La Guerre des Etoiles and Dark Vador stayed for good).

    I' d post Lady Oscar' s French opening, but I' m not sure you' d be comfortable with French lyrics.
    Not exactly nice to sing, but I have a hunch you' d like it anyway. ^^
    Didn' t expect that Hallelujah though, that one is much better :

    Pretty sure I had no clue whatsoever what Star Wars was the first time I watched it.
    And you can' t spot a meme before it actually becomes a meme. I was right there in the theaters when the blue pill and the red pill got delivered to the world. I thought it was cool, but I wasn' t like "Oh so this is where it will come from !"

    Watching, say, the Berlin wall being destroyed or 9/11 on TV ? Now that was something. People instantly knew they were watching History.

    Nothing that comes to mind no, and I' m not sure how that' d make you a moron.
    I' d argue kids shows would be better off not bothering with manichaeism in the first place. That I have examples of. But then maybe that' s what you had in mind ? How about Cat' s Eye ?
