NOTHING.i point that out and im labeled as a hater, however with SS's well intentioned "visual storytelling at its finest" thread we can clearly see that he's milking his brainchild from 20 years ago with nothing to add but cgi filler. everything that made me go "wow" was already predetermined by the OT. (except for darth maul, but there is nothing more to him than the 'cool factor' of a double blade weilding kungfu master.) the aliens are old and borrowed from 1983 with nothing new and interesting. his universe, rather than expanding as was the progression of the OT, contracted and constricted, suffocating itself right down to the core characters.
(general comment) i could turn around and label all you adament supporters as mindless fanboys, just to let you know how petty it is to throw labels around and try to win the debate ad hominem, but..2 wrongs...
At least the Trade Federation or the CIS's best soldiers weren't defeated by Ewoks wielding sticks and pebbles. Good lord people rank on Jar Jar all the time but you hear NOTHING about Ewoks. The Emperor's BEST SOLDIERS got WTFpwned by a bunch of stick wielding fuzz balls. The Storm Troopers had AT-STs and blasters and speeders! The Ewoks had pebbles!!!!
At least the Gungans lost. Only ONE freaking Ewok was killed. Only ONE!! So not only did the Emperor's BEST SOLDIERS get WTFpwned by the Ewoks but they only managed to kill ONE. People are complaining about Jar Jar but Episode VI had the dumbest battle ever. ROTJ became a joke at that moment. Luke vs Vader and the Rebels vs the Imperial Death Star and Star Destroyers lost all impact just because the Rebels won because the Emperor's BEST SOLDIERS got WTFpwned by the Ewoks which only ONE was killed.
Stop acting like the OT are these godly films with original ideas because nothing about Star Wars was original. Lucas just took the story from myths, the Bible, and old sci-fi movies and shows.
