Did anyone ever see that movie? Seems like a complete memory hole of a release.

My wife saw "Far and Away" and felt like Tom and Nicole had the sexual chemistry of a gay man and a random cheerleader.

I was just thinking about this today: I had this old coworker, in his 50s or so, and when this movie came out everyone at work was complaining about Jar-Jar. And this guy says, "I don't get why everyone has such a problem with Jar-Jar and how he talks – I happen to like Jamaican people."

The Jar Jar Binks character will be legendary and deserves to permanently destroy the Star Wars legacy. To quote the Rifftrax guys (who really do a great job tearing TPM to shreds) It is offensive on a metaphysical level.

It's so bizarre, it's some strange frankenstein's monster gone horribly wrong, the abject repressed nightmare inside the mind of a marketing executive who is having a bad acid trip. That something so grotesque and hideous was actually - and eagerly - created is bizarre beyond comprehension. He looks like if you bred Bug Bunny and a duckbill platypus and then had the resulting spawn skinned.

Yeah I've watched that review - there's some very sharp criticism. The persona the guy puts on can get a bit much, but worth watching.

very illuminating interview w/Lucas' former producer/associate Gary Kurtz:

The discussed ending of the film that Kurtz favored presented the rebel forces in tatters, Leia grappling with her new duties as queen and Luke walking off alone “like Clint Eastwood in the spaghetti westerns,” as Kurtz put it.Kurtz said that ending would have been a more emotionally nuanced finale to an epic adventure than the forest celebration of the Ewoks that essentially ended the trilogy with a teddy bear luau.

Yeah I always kind of suspected he made up that whole "It's supposed to be 9 movies" after they realized they could make a killing on these films.
― Beach Pomade (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 12 August 2010 21:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Nice read. Kurtz's ending doesn't sound GREAT to be honest - - I mean, what's the point of rescuing Han and then having him die, beyond the general idea that the rogue's arc of redemption must end in self-sacrifice? Totally agreed about the redundant Death Star though....could they just not come up with anything else?
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 12 August 2010 21:25 (thirteen years ago) link
I always assumed that they did, since a) they were fully prepared to eat Han, Luke and Chewie, and b) those stormtrooper helmets being used as rototoms came from SOMEplace.

Favorite bit of the Clones review: explaining how casting Samuel L. Jackson was a 100% cynical bait-and-switch to get black people into theaters.
― kenan, Wednesday, 22 September 2010 12:19 (thirteen years ago) link
What about Billy Dee Williams then?
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 22 September 2010 13:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Billy Dee Williams isn't a bait-and-switch - - - what exactly was Williams's reputation at the time that he could be cynically cashed-in upon? I get the complaint with Samuel L. Jackson, basically you're expecting this ultimate Jedi badass, with some taut, just-barely-controlled anger fueling the delivery of classic lines. Instead you get a monkish, dowdy cipher. To be fair, most of the characters are ciphers, and I'm not sure I want to start singing the praises of typecasting, but certainly when I heard Samuel L. Jackson was going to be in Star Wars, it got me excited based on things that ultimately were not there in the film.
The little promo clip dude excerpts with Jackson talking about how they're some awesome action and fighting in this movie does seem a little bit calculated, I have to say.
