  1. Recolouring them is a fairly straight-forward (and simple) process. Let me know if you run into any difficulties.
  2. Everything can always be done better, but @@ShenLong Kazama's Death Watch Mandalorians look pretty good to me.
  3. *Death Watch https://jkhub.org/files/file/1926-mauls-death-watch-mandalorian/ https://jkhub.org/files/file/1576-death-watch/
  4. A New Hope --> The Empire Strikes Back --> Return of the Jedi [Titled from the perspective of the Rebels/Jedi.] The Phantom Menace --> Attack of the Clones --> Revenge of the Sith [Titled from the perspective of the Sith.] The Force Awakens --> The Last Jedi --> ??? [Return of the Jedi Order?] [Clearly titled from the perspective of the Force/Jedi, but it doesn't seem to abide by the same relationship/formula. Who/What are we fighting here, exactly? Luke's decision to end the Jedi tradition? The Jedi are fighting against being forgotten? The Force is fighting to exist? >.<']
  5. Hahaha! Love it how even with Disney's money in the press sponsoring this, and Mark Hamill trying his hardest not to gag (for his own legal/financial safety), he still has trouble articulating his response. Oh Disney, what are we going to do with you?
  6. Star Wars: Snoke's Smoke If only... That would spare him the shame.
  7. Star Wars: The Return of Darth Vader Star Wars: The Force Star Wars: Luke's Padawan Star Wars: The Last Jedi Star Wars: The Last Ewok Star Wars: R2D2 A B movie title is one thing, but this... >.<' What will the third one be called? Star Wars: The Chosen One? Kathleen Kennedy: "How did you know?"
  8. What a great fan production and story. The little one's performance in that outstanding opening is first class! Thanks for sharing. (The other two were interesting to see, as well. It's a pity that Sins of the Jedi's visual story was never finished.)
  9. Waah! No criticism here, just fan love. I love Zym's entrance and that exchange. <3 Also, Ki-Adi-Mundi was awesome -- the real thing! And the exchange between master and student was brilliant.
  10. We're setting a new Hollywood standard: the Penin Scream.
  11. *snickers* The Wilhelm Scream scene. Just at some point, randomly, through the story of the movie. And Jaden's like *stops* and goes "WTF?!", then just moves on without Rosh, as if nothing had happened. ... I'm evil....
  12. And see/hear Rosh Penin on the big screen? Are you sure?
  13. Um, install Debian/Linux, and get Rhythmbox? http://askubuntu.com/questions/123612/how-do-i-set-album-artwork (It's iTunes without the stupid limitations/restrictions. Loving it.)
  14. What if The Force Awakens never happened, and the Legends (Expanded Universe) story arc was turned into a film saga? See for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHYLraOs7Z4 (Keep in mind this is a very-low-budget, fan production.)
  15. On my todo list. I've already gathered great reference material a while ago. Just not sure when I'll be able to get down to it... :/

  17. I never quite got the hang of it, and never got to play it in a community setting. Would love to try it.
  18. I hate how everyone keeps referring to Rogue One as a dark film. A dark movie is one that has beloved characters that you really get to know and like die, or suffer a horrible fate, and make you feel sorrow for their loss. Rogue One was NOT a dark movie -- it did not deliver enough to make me care about its characters. It was a numb movie -- making me feel nothing lasting at all. It was a bad film, not a dark film. From now on, every time someone says "dark film" surrounding Rogue One, I will interpret it as a commercial way of saying "bad film". While this production process is not surprising and has been known to produce some outstanding works (see Miyazaki and the work of Studio Ghibli), Rogue One didn't deliver, and it downright pisses me off how they planned to deliberately deceive the audience even at the first stages of the trailer shot and released. It just serves to hint at how awful the thinking behind the making of this movie has been (i.e. "We're making this movie for Star Wars suckers, trying to maximally cash in on their gullability, guys. Don't even think you're making a quality picture! Just pretend it's real."). Bah!!! This movie is not worth me wasting my time typing this, anyway...
  19. Sleen is badass. Loving it.
  20. Talking about character design in the art style, here's a direct comparison of TCW versus Rebels against the source material with the character of Tarkin: Rebels is undoubtedly closer in the details presented as is, to realism -- due to the time-tested, "realistic", Disney style of drawing it uses -- but, I ask you, which of the two designs brings Tarkin's character and distinct visual features more to life? TCW's visual style was more focused on expressing character than depicting a face for what it is from an objective standpoint. You can personally hate it, but that doesn't make it any less valuable as an art style. However, that's not to say that Rebels does not exaggerate, and cartoon -- it clearly does. It just does it in a way that is not so much focused on expressing the character, but rather presenting the features somewhat closer to their real life shapes (less stylised).
  21. That's actually not a sensible comparison. The team that worked on The Clone Wars, and all the technology and experience gained in that project was carried over into Rebels. Rebels didn't start from practically nothing, as The Clone Wars did. Also, note that season 2 of TCW had vastly improved level of detail over the first season -- stuff that defined the look of the series as the show went on. I really can't see the same in Rebels. I can see how season one compares, but season one was created with kids in mind, as a children's show. It is only in the later seasons that the TCW team really started to experiment with more serious themes and visuals. (Then they went back to a kiddy-cartoon look with Rebels... ) Edit: Also, here's a cinematic screenshot (the best I could find) from season three of Rebels, for comparison, if you like: (Not much has changed from season 1-2 -- visually -- if you ask me...)

  23. The truth is that Rebels' character designs are just as exaggerated and unrealistic. They appear more realistic to you because they are drawn following the patented Disney cartoon style we're well used to, whereas TCW was trying something new, something original of its own. At least that's the way I see it. However, I wasn't talking just about the character designs, which amount to a personal preference, really, but about the visual quality of the animated series -- the lighting, the details, the environments, the pacing, the cinematography. While I don't doubt that Rebels can be entertaining in its own way, I believe TCW is the more polished work of art, and I definitely don't see them on the same level in terms of production value.
  24. IMHO, TCW had a highly stylized design, but at least it was consistent with it, and as the show went on it became very high quality and cinematic. I've personally found that each exaggeration in the character designs served to resemble a realistic trait well and allowed for a great range of realistic expressions. As I got used to it, I started to forget that I was watching exaggerated features, and eventually grown to love its unique, artistic visual style. I honestly don't see the same level of quality in Rebels.
