Anagram 10/21/20 1:36:12 AM #364:	Rey's Theme This is the only new theme I remember. It is a good theme, but the first thirty seconds sound wintery, even though Rey is from a desert. Still, the rest of the theme evokes an adequate amount of mystery and epicness, so I'll allow it. In fact, I'm even going to go so far as to say it's better than Luke's and Leia's themes. Porkins I need to know, when they put out a casting call for minor characters to use in the Death Star sequence, did they already know the names of the pilots, or did they name them afterwards? Because if it's the latter, imagine being the guy who's so fat they name a character after your obesity. How angry are you about that? Then again, at least it makes him memorable. I can't remember a single pilot's name from the Death Star sequence besides Biggs and Wedge, and Biggs is only because of Final Fantasy. Han Frozen in Carbonite Such a good idea. It's easy to imagine a movie where Han is simply carted away in handcuffs or something. Instead, they went that extra mile to think of a cool space way to transport a prisoner. By making it experimental, like this improvised thing, an element of danger is also added, even though it doesn't really make much sense that Boba Fett can't just use handcuffs (has he never transported a prisoner before?), and it foreshadows what might happen to Luke. Best of all, Han makes a funny face as he's frozen. I can understand why Jabba likes it as a decoration so much. Ewoks Everyone hates ewoks. As a weird allegory for the Vietnam War, where technologically inferior jungle guys fight the more powerful, more advanced empire, they're not very good? Like, sure, I get what Lucas is going for here, but the difference in technology is so much greater than the US-Vietnam one that the ewoks experiencing any level of success makes the Empire just look like a joke. As far as the ewoks go outside of the Battle of Endor, ** 'em. Little annoying cannibals. That's right, folks, I am going to be controversial and take a hard stance against cannibalism. K-2SO One of the better characters in RO. His death heralds the kill 'em all ending of the movie, which shocked me in theaters. I feel like his sarcastic personality exists solely to differentiate him from Threepio, though. Star Wars Kid A legend. I remember watching this many times when I was younger. The kid eventually sued the friend who released the tape, and was the target of bullying for his entire school career. In fairness to his bullies, though, it was really funny. Strategic Defense Initiative I appreciate Reagan wanting an alternative to MAD, but all of his scientists were like "lol dude this is decades away from being viable," and he tried anyway, so... not my favorite use of budget? Han's Anti-Empire Response Way too verbose. Han Solo would never say something this long and descriptive, he would just say "go to hell," and that would be the end of it. The author clearly conflates wit with verbosity. Dammit, man, did you not listen to Polonius? Lego Star Wars Holiday Special Another Life Day holiday special, huh? Fine, whatever. The most interesting thing about this is that I found a screen shot of all of the characters in it, saw Finn, Rey, Poe, and Chewbacca, and one other girl. I thought "oh no, it's an OC for the film?" Then I realized it was just Rose. First off, Rose is important enough to be counted as a main character? Second, Lego Asian people look the same as white people? Wampa It's just a sasquatch. Yeti? Bigfoot? Is there a difference between those things? --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig. Started: July 6, 2005 <cite>Anagram posted [p:946103107] in Anagram Ra...
