Darth Plagueis was a Sith book of the EU, so well-written and excellently realized, it could use the fans, to generate... hype. It had such a depth of detail, it could even delay the sell-out... for months. The EU of the IP is a path to many stories some consider to be 'non-canon.' It became so great, the only thing fans had to worry about was, George selling the company, which, eventually, of course he did. But unfortunately... he trusted his proteges with everything he knew, and the apprentices stabbed him in the back. It's ironic. He thought the fans would turn on him, but not his friends."

      Good prediction. I saw I thought coming too. However Solo was an ok movie.... if you think that it's an alternate universe. Solo never loved anyone but himself in 4, but ben loved someone with all husband heart, and wasn't ever really in it for the money? That doesn't add up! I also highly dislike the fact that they made my favorite character, Lando, a Pansexual, so he gets turned on by a ducking droid! It was nice to see Maul in it though. I would be aprreciated a better way of getting the name Solo than just some officer giving it to him. Btw, how did kyra get out of the jail that she was put in during the escape? We get no reason, but she never bothered to look for Han then. Turns out she can do everything by herself. Pretty sure we don't need 4 STAR WARS EPISODES WHERE EVERYONE GIRL IS OP to let us know every future woman will be a Mary Sue. Enough of Kathleen Kennedy please. I want something where it's dofficult, and people have to actually do something for once and not have to look to a Mary Sue. And don't get me started on L-3. A droids rights activist is not wanted in Star Wars. Earthly politics are supposed to stay out of the franchise. We don't need any feminism, more than two genders (even though there are only 2), making MEN WHO WERE STRAIGHT IN THE OT PANSEXUAL, and I also don't like how we have another Rose character. "The enemy who wore that mask trying to steal the coaxium for a better cause" cliche. It's an ok movie, but the movie decisions made me want to scream in anger sometimes.

    • @MusicByRobThorpe
      @MusicByRobThorpe Před 6 lety +79

      The traditional approach to film scoring is / was to fit the music to the scene, changing mood, tempo, rhythm, key, etc. to match the imagery. Whereas the modern approach (Hans Zimmer et al) is to write through the scene, as though the soundtrack is made up of songs with each cue maintaining the same rhythm mood, etc. throughout. This latter approach seems to suit modern filmmaking better, unfortunately. Danny Elfman's score for Justice League is old-school (listen the track 'Final Battle' for example) but is lost in the final film, buried beneath the sound effects.

      Disney didn't catch it like in the V (well, with a hole episode dedicated to it, I'm happy Lucas did a good job). If I remember well, in The Empire S-B, the Falcon did slow maneuvers with a far away camera.
      Disney chose a fast moving camera, they couldn't give it the grace it had in the trilogy.

    I had nothing to listen to music with, but this song played loud and clear in my brain every second, and to this day, it comes to mind every time I'm driving in a downpour or snowstorm or similarly dangerous situation.
