It's a mini light cannon

Yep, with these types of weapons, you can renovate your house in no time "Honey...I was thinking of getting rid of the entire second floor this aft."

Here goes nothing!

Im hooked…

Got an email today that if I re-signed up with D+, I’d get that and Hulu for $2.99 a month for 12 months. So I signed up.

The show is fun. Looking forward to seeing it progress.

That was lovely! The dancer lady was the real hero

 

[firesprite]

That was utterly charming and delightful. I cannot wait to see where we go on this adventure.

Star Wars has certainly had its ups and downs in recent years, leaving me pretty skeptical and apathetic about any new projects. But I'm glad to still be giving things a shot, because these first two episodes were a blast. I'm fully sold and can't wait to see where this goes!

It totally feels like space Goonies and really captures that Amblin adventure magic that's bristling with joy & discovery — bravo to Jon Watts for recreating that feeling. At times it felt like a visualization of all the adventures I’d have in my head as a kid but these kids are ACTUALLY experiencing it. It’s cool. And the kids are great! It’s charming and fun and feels very Star Wars — Episode 2 is packed full of weird aliens/creatures, goofy animatronics, and features a sweet new location.

Took a bit to get going but now we are hooked. Wife also called it Goonies in space. I don’t think she’s seen that movie in thirty years.

I did not see the episodes yet, only a few short clips on YouTube. But what I can already tell is that the camera work is so much better than the shaky **** like with the Kenobi show. That was so annoying to watch. This here seems like "old" traditional steady camera set-ups and scenes. I know, this is nitpicking, and maybe I'm the only weirdo who pays attention to something like that.

It's not nitpicking, it's how George largely framed and shot and how he planned the bulk of his coverage, even as far as on Clone Wars when he'd sit in on supe days. Too many folks who directed or shot SW never got it, never figured out how to get a simple locked camera to say something, to get folks to the next shot. We always said 'cool camera' vs 'good camera move' was a sign that someone didn't know what the hell they were doing.

Yes. George didn't over-direct his stuff. Nor did he go for a handheld look.

In the late 1990s, more attention-getting camera work came into fashion. 'The Matrix' and 'Saving Private Ryan' did that.

My excitement at the mystery they revealed in episode 2 is outweighing my slight disappointment about the suburbia looking like plain old earth (where is the strong visual language and scifi scenery? for whatever reason pulled me right out of the immersion could they not have tinted the grass teal or something). idk it's a solid 6/10 start that intrigued me enough to look forward to the next episode. I might just be salty about the design because I'm in a bit of a creative block right now and I was hoping I would fall in love with a random doodad to paint a replica of... spent the whole first episode staring at the background but nothing really spoke to me

Do the question… what is up with At-atin?

Some wicked interesting theory’s on YouTube..

I thought it was cool that we saw suburbia in SW. not everything had to be desert or shiny like Tatooine or Courasant. (sp?)

Why not have other planets be like ours?

Earlier; Ridley Scott is, IMHO, the master of handheld shots

 

[Kylash]

I thought the more we saw of it the more alien it felt, the downtown certainly didnt feel like Earth.

 

[Galactican]

Holy, it's gone online today? I thought it would premiere tomorrow! OK, it will premiere tomorrow (at least for me)..!

 

[Jodo]

I don’t know why they change the release days the week before. That’s very stupid to me.

Going to at least watch the first episode tonight…Hoping it’s good.

I’ve seen busses around town with the vinyl wrap advertising the show.

I guess after The Acolyte, they’re a bit more desperate to make this a hit.
