Inspired by @SeekerSupreme I’m thinking of doing a giveaway too.
Rules:
You can enter for only one of them, not both, so pick wisely!
To enter, post your favorite character or scene from Star Wars if you’re entering for the Origin key (Be sure to hide it if it contains spoilers!) or post a video or picture related to Winter if you’re entering for the GOG key.
Winner(s) will be decided by either discobot or Random.org, since I don’t have too much experience with the former. Let me know if the keys work because I’m kinda screwed if they don’t!
One was gifted and the other I got in the giveaway which shall not be mentioned here which starts with the letter G.
Note: The GOG key must be redeemed before January 8th. Good luck!
not entering either, but just wanted to say I strongly suspect the theory (strengthened by the fact that George Lucas once said he was the “key to everything” or something) that Jar Jar Binks was in fact supposed to be a Sith Lord and that his stumbling and goofery was all intended and hiding/hidden by his true skills (Obito/Tobi style) and that he abandoned that path cuz the character was so hated, and if such was the case then i’m kinda sad I never got to see that arc come to fruition.
I’m not saying it would necessarily have made that trilogy better (though who knows), but it sure would’ve made it more interesting.
I don’t know what to feel about the Star Wars trilogy anymore, most of my enjoyment surely comes from nostalgia. The actors give a top-notch performance and the movies manages to sprinkle some humour among the action, but the story is just a fairytale put into space. The legacy of the movies lies more in that they showed the studios the amount of money that was to be had in sci-fi and therefore introduced a hole lot of new ideas. Like Star Trek and Space Balls.
The real star of the show in mu opinion is John Williams, which of course was dependent on Steven Spielberg allowing his music to be presented in the way he wanted.
The reveal of Vader and Leia, while not being the most pompous scene, really showcases the depth, variety and mixing going on.
Thanks for the giveaway! As has been said before, don’t worry about it if a key doesn’t work if you’re giving it like this.
Put me down for Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order
My favorite character is definitely Han Solo. The Star Wars movies for me really just comprise the original trilogy, so I’m not talking about the not-at-all-Han-Soloish-Han-from-the-movie-Solo. The fact they got Harrison Ford to take any of it at all seriously was quite the achievement, but I think it’s maybe his not 100% buy-in that probably makes the character. Science fiction tends to sometimes get this “serious business” vibe in the characters, somewhat understandably when you’ve got pew pew beams and such. But Ford’s acting really made Han Solo a believable character. He’s not awed or impressed by laser swords or aliens; he’s a guy doing what he needs to do to get a humongous paycheck.
Oh and he has a space winnebago with guns, what more do you want =)
Not entering as I got prime this month, but fav Star Wars character is definitely Max Rebo, anyone who denies this as truth is a liar. His band is GOATed.
Yeah, that theory is very nice. I enjoyed it a lot.
But the people behind the prequel aren’t that bright when it comes to story telling… so I don’t believe it actually was the case.
Still nice theory!
lol, i never said that, although honestly, I personally didn’t mind that much at all. He made me laugh a bunch actually, but he’s certainly not one of my favorite characters at all. I’m not sure I love any Star Wars character that much at all actually. Sure, I loved Luke when i was younger, aspiring to be him myself of course. If I absolutely had to choose I think it’d be either Han Solo or Ahsoka Tano, or perhaps even Darth Maul, yeah. Maul has really cool story arcs in the Clone Wars and Rebels actually.
