Lit A/V The Force Awakens and the EU [TAGGED spoilers.]

Neither did Vader in ROTS, and good guys didn't use green sabers until ROTJ, and before AOTC was released, the EU had no problem giving good guys red sabers and giving villains blue and green sabers.

 

Given that the introduction video (IIRC) spelled it "Orrelios" as does the packaging of a LEGO toy, which usually get the right spelling for their product, I'd bet it's Orrelios and "Orrelious" is a misspelling, especially since the latter would probably be pronounced "Orr-ell-ee-owse" instead of "Orr-ell-ee-ohs" like it's pronounced in the video.

 

Give 'em time to fix that.....

 

He didn't make them either, right?

 

Well, the movies never had bad guys using anything other than red sabers, or good guys using anything other than blue and green sabers until RotS. Maybe the EU should have paid more attention.

 

I don't think the EU was out of bounds by including all colors. I like it, especially in Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2.

 

They weren't, really. But I just can't get too worked up over the movies influencing writers and artists to prefer their villains to use the most angry/threatening color for their glowing instruments of death and dismemberment.

And yellow and orange are dumb colors for sabers. There, I said it.

 

Yun disagrees.

I'm fond of Ahsoka's shoto's color.

 

Indiana Jones are some of the best action/drama movies of all time. They netted him a big paycheck and a lot of noteriety. The first and the 3rd movies were terrific for their time.

 

Already posted this in another thread, but it's fairly awesome and Driver is the best thing about it. I hope he keeps the cowboy hat and everything and just says "Outer-SPACE!"

 

I'll clarify: I love the Indy movies. I just don't see how he's so much more interesting than Han. They're both two-dimensional serial characters at heart; Indy just happens to be an offscreen scientist.

 

Han underwent a character arc that was pretty much finished by ROTJ, leaving not much to do with him as a character. Indy is the same in every movie by design so lack of character growth isn't an issue!

 

By golly, if we get yellow, orange, and pink (not Mace purple) light sabers out of the ST, I'll probably watch it just for that.

We technically got black in clone wars... and one could say the non-special edition OT gave us white

 

I would totally be stoked for pink.

 

He actually goes through some amount character growth in every movie. The third and fourth movie stand out the most in this regard, but:

Raiders: Indy becomes less of a jerk to Marion and learns to believe in the power of hocus pocus. (I know the prequel makes a mess of this, but I'm talking about just this movie.)

Temple: Indy becomes less of a mercenary and learns to believe in the power of rocks and stuff.

Last Crusade: Indy's daddy issues are resolved.

Crystal Skull: Indy learns that life can still give you new things to be happy about when you're old and wrinkly.

 

Yeah The Last Crusade is really good. Incidentally, they did the opposite of what Lucas wanted when they made that film.

 

You're repeating yourself.

 

Didn't Lucas also envision Indy having sex with Marion when she was super-underaged because he thought it was funny?

 

So I have heard.

Yet apparently he was uncomfortable with Henry Jones Sr. and Henry Jones Jr. sleeping with the same woman.

 

Wait - what?

 

The unsaid back story to Raiders is that Indy was a student of Abner Ravenwood and his underage daughter Marion seduced Indy.

 

I don't remember the exact dialogue, but yeah, ok. It was the "super underage" description that, well, made me react like the guy in Reveen's post.

 

Underage like 14 and 18-24? I'm not sure what their age difference is supposed to be.
