Star wars scenery prequel4/30/2024 Note: It’s not surprising that Ahsoka Tano has since become a fan favorite across Star Wars fandom, and is getting her own live-action Star Wars TV series, starring Rosario Dawson in the role originated by voice actress Ashley Eckstein. In particular, the character of Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein) had matured from an annoying, bratty-teenager into a fully mature and powerful being–full of regrets and anguish which force her to leave the Jedi Order. I noticed much better development of the characters who populated the prequel-era landscape. I largely avoided “The Clone Wars” cartoon series after the disastrously awful 2008 theatrical premiere frightened me away, but I did return for the final few episodes of its last season, and was impressed. While admittedly mixed, some of the results haven’t been half-bad. New waves of books, and cartoons such as “Rebels,” begin using more ideas from both. However, after Lucasfilm was purchased by Disney, there seemed to be a concerted effort to unite the divided fandoms of the Original and Prequel Trilogies. Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn hold the CGI Jar-Jar’s tongue as Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd) looks on. ![]() Everything wrong with “The Phantom Menace” in one frame. So, while the Star Wars prequels aren’t exactly my jam, I do appreciate that they have their own fan bases, and I respect that. The two other prequels that followed ( “Attack of the Clones,” “Revenge of the Sith”) didn’t exactly lift my X-wing out of the swamp, either ( though “Sith” came a step or two closer to what made me fall in love with Star Wars). Yes, I still saw it several times afterward, but it was more about examining the wreckage than enjoying the show. Seeing “Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace” 22 years later in my early 30s was another matter altogether. Don’t get me wrong seeing “Star Wars” at age 10 in 1977 was a transformative cinematic experience for me. Or maybe I'm reading too much into this.*****STAR DESTROYER-SIZED SPOILERS AHEAD!*****Īs I may have said once or twice in this column, I make no secret of the fact that the Star Wars prequels are not really my cup of blue milk. And here's Abrams casually chatting about a scene in which Palpatine talks about cheating death. After all, Palpatine himself clearly died in Return of the Jedi, and yet he's somehow back in Skywalker. ![]() ![]() It's also worth noting that Abrams might be dropping a clue regarding what's to come in The Rise of Skywalker. While I'm no fan of the prequels (have I mentioned they're bad?), I agree that this is a well-done scene, primarily because of McDiarmid's performance. But I just think Ian's performance in it is spectacular." "There's just something about that scene," Abrams says. It's ironic that he could save others from death, but not himself." Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, and then one night, his apprentice killed him in his sleep. the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. "The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural," replies Palpatine, adding that Plagueis "became so powerful. "He could actually save people from death?"
