First credits: Simple…all the props and outfits were made by absolutely amazing artists. I tweaked some textures and refit Darth V to Genesis, but other than that, they are as they were made…perfect!

If you’re the type who is gonna get offended by criticism of the Star Wars films…
Please bear in mind this is just MY OWN opinion, or stop reading now.
I’m not telling anyone not to enjoying them, nor suggesting anyone change their opinion based on mine…in fact…
I used to be a great fan of all things Star Wars. LOVED it all. I saw the original three flicks in theaters when they came out, owned all the Kenner action figures and jumped on the bandwagon for the prequels when they were announced. But I stopped at episode VII, refused to see Rogue One, and won’t see The Last Jedi. Any future films won’t have my participation either. And here’s why…
It wasn’t just enough that they blew up a death star in two of the first three movies; they had to try again in The Force Awakens. But they cleverly renamed it Star Killer base instead of Death Star…didn’t even use synonyms…same idea, just a little bigger.
They copied the plots from Episode 4, 5 and 6, blatantly, and mashed them together under the guise of an original all new adventure. Sure they changed the gender of the desert planet orphan who turns out to have the Force powers, but they didn’t bother to alter much else. They even re-hashed several of the jokes from the original movies. If you read the description of the story without seeing the pic…you could just as easily describe episodes 4, 5 and 6 as you could episode 7.
Now maybe this was an attempt to bring those old movies to today’s younger audience, and maybe I sound a bit like a disgruntled old man, which is true…but to me that movie was just like the remake fad of old TV shows to film that flopped (A-Team, Bewitched, Leave it to Beaver, Starsky and Hutch…etc.) and even remakes of old movies done poorly (Friday the 13th, Planet of the Apes, Nightmare on Elm Street, Prom Night, Godzilla, Godzilla again, King Kong, King Kong again, Black Christmas…etc…)
And while I’ve heard that The Last Jedi was a bit less re-hash, I still none-the-less have jumped off the bandwagon for good. I’ve even sold all my old Kenner toys…except Boba Fett…never the Fett man.
PS…Eep Opp Ork Ah Ah actually means something different, and I stole it from another space adventure. You can google it – or click

Again, my opinion, just mine...maybe...
