Darth Maul Perler Pixel Pattern

March 14, 2016March 14, 2016 / May the Fourth be with You Party: Anette / 4 Comments

Darth Maul has seen a big resurgence in the past couple of weeks with the release of the Star Wars fan film Darth Maul: Apprentice by Shawn Bu. I’m glad! (And if you haven’t seen it, take a look here)

Though I don’t hate the prequels (as many do), I do think they have their problems. One of the biggest being how little screen time Darth Maul is given. A back story, as well as more scenes to set up his skills, abilities and “evilness” would have gone a long way to add suspense and urgency to The Phantom Menace.

Mature Luke Skywalker Perler Pixel Pattern

The big question on everybody’s mind when The Force Awakens movie posters came out was: Where is Luke? Well, we now know there was a reason he was missing from the posters (BTW, brilliant marketing guys!), and just like the movie, we have been saving Luke for the very, very end. Today is the last of our The Force Awakens pixel pattern series.

Starkiller Base Perler Pixel Pattern

Bigger, badder, and just like all of Kylo Ren’s and General Hux’s ideas, completely over the top.

I can imagine their brainstorming session:
KR: The Death Star was really cool. Darth Vader was a genius.
GH: Hrmph, he failed! He was not thinking BIG enough.
KR: WOAH! You mean A BIGGER Death Star?
GH: Yes. The problem with the first 2 Death Stars was that they were not big enough to conquer the universe. The New Order is more powerful than the Empire ever was, and as such we need something that will cause the appropriate fear and destruction throughout the galaxy. We need a (Hux almost whispers)… Starkiller Base… made from a real planet.
KR: #$&*#(@ BADASS!

Supreme Leader Snoke Perler Pixel Pattern

There has been more speculation about Snoke’s identity than pretty much anything else in The Force Awakens.

Is he alive (and shown as a hologram), or dead (i.e. a spirit/”space ghost” like Yoda and Obi-Wan)? Is he Vader? The Emperor? Obviously, he is not Porkins.

Andy Serkis was quoted as saying that Snoke is a new character, so maybe any and all speculation is pointless. Still, my favorite theory is that Snoke is the “dead” Darth Plagueis, re-appearing as a “space ghost”.

General Hux Perler Pixel Pattern

Hux puzzled me. At the beginning of the first viewing of The Force Awakens, I could not decide if General Hux’s character was terribly written or just terribly over-acted. The answer is – neither. About halfway through the movie, I realized what Hux and his relationship to Kylo Ren were all about, and I started truly enjoy when the General came on screen.
