This bizarre casting choice doesn't get nearly as much shit as it deserves. No way they would let a Black ass chicago nigga be a Jedi. He would not be accepted in any temple, in fact, they would run across the street from him if they saw him at a high likelihood of getting mugged. Samuel L. Jackson is not a religious bureaucrat, he is a scary ass angry Black man. >they didn't even bother hiding this fact on screen.
>>217372485Yoda is a small green weird alien and he's supposed to be the grand master of the jedi, is not that strange when you think about it
>>217372485>back when DEI niggers only meant Jackson or Freeman The good old days
>>217372485>Violently attacks the elderly head of state of the galaxy because he subscribes to the wrong religion.>Sarcastically calls him "my Lord" (massa) and then starts rambling about muh OPPRESSION OF THE SHITS or whatever because slaveryLol typical black.
Were you fucking there mate?
>>217372485They would otherwise have a low ESG score due to the child indoctrination
>>217372485Jackson just had the casting of his career so was the IT black guy choice at the timeI just like to imagine the meeting where Sam asks for a purple lightsaber and George tells him they don't come in purple, and Sam insists so gets him a purple lightsaber
>>217372789They have it on video. He asks him and George just says ok.
>>217372485One of the worst line deliveries (amng many) in the prequels is:>a Sith LORD?As if this is the first time anyone has brought up Sith in conversation, and the "lord" part is what he's surprised about. How did this make it into the final cut? I'm not even sure what dialogue would work there. >Palaptine is a Sith Lord? You mean the guy we've suspected for two movies? That's ludicrous! Are you SURE?
>>217372485Darth Sidious mind controlled the Jedi to let Jackson in
>>217372839haven't seen it, so you can't ruin my imagination of it
>>217372839No he doesn't. He says they're blie or green, that's how it is. Jackson suggests purple. Then George says, we'll see. You know it's on video, so why did you even say that?
>>217372839George was quietly thinking “holy shit a purple lightsaber, why didn’t I think of that? Now I can sell his toy”
>>217372893The other guy is wrong, and I think you HAVE seen it because your description is closer to how it happened then the other guy's. Or maybe you're samefagging.
>>217372864>How did this make it into the final cut?Lucas has horrible instincts for dialogue both as a writer and a director, in the OT everyone gave him shit for it most notoriously Ford, but for the PT he was this mythical god surrounded by sycophants and nobody wanted to question him
>>217372935I haven't seen that actual video I've just seen it talked about by other people
>>217372709>>Violently attacksNo, he wanted to arrest Palpy but then Palpy went AAAAAGGHHHHH
I watched the BTS for AOTC and ROTS but never had a DVD of TPM
>>217372485From his point of view, the white man is evil
The original Jango kill was kino.
>>217372485>they didn't even bother hiding this fact on screen.That's what makes this casting actually kino. Mace Windu was just constantly aping out and ruining shit. In any other movie it would have been an evil white man but George had a vision.
>>217372946I forget the exact line in AotC that was really bad, but Anakin say FORbidden, and I always wondered what possessed him to put the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABle. And how in the fuck George decided on that take.
>>217372709He wasn't arresting him specifically for being a Sith, he was arresting him for being a traitor- the secret leader of the opposing side of the war.
>>217372998The TPM dvd has a breddy gud (and long) making-of documentary that wasn't afraid to show that people making it obviously disagreed with George a lot, and just went along with everything anyway.
It's surprising that they never brought Mace back in the Clone Wars series or any other supplementary media. You don't actually see him die, and we know from Anakin's antics in Episode II that a jedi fall miles through the air and survive. An easy way to bring Mace back would be:>after falling into a refuse heap in the Undercity, the Force gradually healed Mace and he regained consciousness. However, the trauma inflicted by Palpatine's Sith lighting caused him total amnesia. Mace, with no recollection of his Jedi past or his mastery of the Force, took up the life of a vagrant among the narrow and dingy passages of the Undercity, surviving by begging and by scavenging among the detritus and trash that descended from the metropolis far above. He lived thus for decades, until one day when [Star Wars character] had cause to go into the Undercity and recognised the former Master...
>>217372998Shouldn't be hard to find a cheap copy.
Well over 25 years and prequel haters are still seething about how kino the Prequels were.
>>217373072Hayden had the worst most unenviable job having to both do Lucas' dialogue and say things in this NOT-Earl Jones way that could have plausibly been Vader's voice once it went through all the filterslol under a director who had utterly shit dialogue instinctshe spends like a week or a month or something having the redo the "begun the clone wars has" line over & over & over again, and it's great cause he can't tell them how to make it "right" for what he wants, he just keeps saying it's not right and "how can it be this hard" while giving them no specificity for what he wants, cause even he doesn't really know
>>217372485Him and Conehead are the pipehitters that lowkey enjoy the war. Mace is the 'dark' version of Qui-Gon. And despite beating THE Sith Lord of all time in combat, it doesn't save him, the Jedi, or the Republic. The Council beside Yoda needed an established actor to match Christopher Lee's Dooku.
>>217373127>wasn't afraid to show that people making it obviously disagreed with George a lot, and just went along with everything anyway.huh, you don't really see any of that in the other 2's BTS, the only person I remember expressing discontent at all was Mcallum or whatever his name was, and even his is kind of subdued>>217373145I don't even have the original DVDs of the others anymore, I burned all my bought stuff off when dvd decryptor still worked and sold the originalsI've seen bits like Lucas saying "maybe I went a bit too far in some places"now I'm curious to see the rest
>>217373198>Mace is the 'dark' version of Qui-Gon.huh, kind of explains why he dislikes Anakin so much
>>217372900SLJ originally wanted red but that was a hard no cause only Sith have those. It boiled down to him wanting to be able to see himself in a crowd of blues and greens.
>>217372485Samuel Jackson is clearly a good actor as he can express himself so much and have least some amount of discipline, since he deals with being famous, one of the most famous actors ever, deals with hollywood, gets in all the movies it gets in, even though he's known more than anything as being just nothing but some loud swearing guy.So him clearly being very capable and quiet when he needs to, despite being so explosive when he needs to, is very much so his real character and he was actually perfectly casted as windu since windu is this completely controlled person natrually gifted person who on a level that's above everyone besides yoda
>>217372485>lucas casts bombastic funny black dude who’s good at yelling>he’s a complete stoic who doesn’t get up out of his chair until the end of the third movie What did Lucas mean by this
>>217372485Mace was very powerful but also very unstable which I why I suspect yoda kept him close. He would have caused lot of problems if he wasn't a jedi. I also suspect that mace thought he was the chosen one, which is why he had such disdain for anakin.
>>217373349It's because anakin reminded him of his padawan. Who he taught his unique and dangerous form of jedi force usage too. The padawan fell hard to the darkside and he killed them in mortal combat. He's been wary of any force user who has any level of darkside or is unstable in use of the force since then. And quigon was a wild card and a true believer. He feared his total belief in the force delivered them a monster. And that fear led Anakin to the darkside. Ironically enough. In every single "what if mace trained anakin" au written or posted about across social media and the net, Mace is able to help train and Anakin and helps him conrol and harness the force and tame his darker impulses leading to a happy ending. The only thing that prevented a new golden age for the force and the galaxy was the fear of two men. Mace and Anakin.
>>217373927Mace was a cunt to a child.
I like this shot. He's like AYO THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FO ENSLAVING US 10,000 years ago, old white fuck!
