Repeat after me:
The Jedi taught emotional control, not repression.
The Jedi took kids with parental consent, they did not kidnap them.
The Jedi did not hold people against their will, they could leave the Order at any time.
The Jedi were not "just as bad" as the Sith.

So another Skywalker Twins Comic begins!
So far it’s 5 pages all sketched out and I’ll post them one at a time. This one is a little less goofy? Sorry…
shoutout star wars skeleton crew for creating the most middle school characters i have ever seen. like yeah those losers are some random prep school 12 year olds who don't know anything and all think they're right in pretty much any given situation. there's half a braincell and it's kb's but fern and wim pretend it's theirs and neel just does not want it anymore. they have an obvious, self appointed friend group leader (fern) but someone (wim) is always trying to contest that. they swing between petty drama and "i would die for you no questions asked" within seconds. in their minds there's no way in hell the adult knows anything but they still trust him. it brings me so much joy thank everything they are all just so Private School Twelve Year Old it makes it all so much better
jyncassian invisible string is so real to ME

So uh, not to brag or anything but I totally won Christmas
@renton6echo no special features (at least not on the first disc but the setup menu gives us a full shot of the scene where they're breaking into the hangar on Kamino
local children discover the plot of Star Wars
Skeleton Crew’s winning formula is “what if we put Han Solo in charge of children” and it is too good
You guys have me in stitches today!
Have one shot au idea that's been rattling around in my head for a bit
A Call the Midwife AU in the sense that Jyn and Cassian are an expecting couple.
They would have met during the War (show takes place after WW2) with Cassian being a soldier from one the Central or South American countries that helped in the war and Jyn was involved in the War too, but you can choose how.
They just recently moved the area and so they're struggling to adjust, even tho Jyn is from England. Maybe one of two other plot points of your choice.
You don't even have to keep the other Call the Midwife characters. I just thought it would be a cute idea.
Need for fans to understand that George Lucas shoots his movies like an old school documentarist on purpose. They're never purely that way, but it's the thing that most influences his style.
And that's why a lot of critiques leveled at his directorial style are baseless, because he's doing it deliberately. He knows a lot of his shots are static. It's the point.
He doesn't do a whole lot of moving with the camera (in non action sequences), at least compared to other directors. He lets the actors walk in and out of the frame. He even does this with CGI characters. He doesn't construct a frame around their movements (or thats how its meant to appear, because everything is obviously planned). So you get a lot of static shots that allow for us to take in the cultural context of this universe. This is also why a lot of Star Wars world building can be done without exposition. It all plays out within the static wide shots. All the information is on your screen. Including characterization and theme through the mise en scene.
Why does he do this? Because tracking shots and the like are highly choreographed and he doesn't like when it appears to be overly engineered or manufactured. It's the influence of cinema verite, where the point of the film is to portray the truth. It's the same reason he uses delayed exposition and doesn't infodump unless a story is being told by the characters (C3PO in RotJ and Palpatine in RotS). He wants it to play out and for you to observe it without too much manufactured framing.
He's not worried because he knows what he's going to say in each act of the story and what the resolution will be. He doesn't need to bombard you with all the information at once.
Sometimes the camera will track the actors, and of course there's occasionally a pan up or down. But very few times will you see him move the camera through a scene. It rarely follows the action from one set to another, and he rarely uses the camera to push in towards an actor for dramatic effect. When it does happen, it's a point of reference and meant to inform you on what that character represents at the moment. And it adds another layer of meaning. It's just more rare in his movies.
That's his thing, I'm not saying it's good or bad. It's a choice. You have to get it. I mean, he talked about this, but I feel like people forget.
The event is 5 months away...and I'm already planning...🙈
I might be excited.
