'That’s when Filoni, who co-created The Clone Wars with George Lucas and probably knows more about that era than anyone including Lucas, starts talking about the ending of The Phantom Menace. It begins about 21 minutes and 30 seconds into the episode, but here’s just a taste.
Filoni continues from there. In fact, he continues for another FIVE WHOLE MINUTES if you can believe it, going into how Obi-Wan training Anakin made him who he was, Luke’s training, his showdown with the Emperor and just...all of it. Meanwhile, Favreau and the season one Mandalorian directors such as Bryce Dallas Howard and Taika Waititi sit there in awe at Filoni’s monologue. It’s truly magical to watch.' |
Look....that was interesting and all and really makes a great deal of sense.
But at the end of the day if you have to explain whats happening in the movie you're making then somebody is doing a bad job of story-telling.
I find Star Wars to be a particularly egregious transgressor of post-production explanations.
"No, no, no! That didnt suck! You just didnt get it because
this is whats really going on! If you know this thing and that thing then this all makes so much more sense!"
WTF am I doing watching this BS then? If I cant figure it out because the information I need for the story to make sense is literally not in the story being told then what is going on here?
