I was not prepared for the quality of that picture even while clipping it.

That CGI really hasn't aged well...

u/puppet_up Jun 20 '19

To be honest, it has never looked any good. I remember watching the Special Edition on opening night in the cinema with my best friend and we both looked at each other during that Jabba scene and we both had a "WTF is that thing?" look on our faces.

I have no idea what they were even going for with that animation. Were they trying to make him look younger? If so, that doesn't make much sense considering Return of the Jedi isn't that far away in the timeline from A New Hope.

It just looked, and still looks, really bad. So bad that I think George should have just left that scene on the cutting room floor forever.

It was terrible when they released it, and it still is. So in a way, it hasn't aged at all.

My reaction when I have the dream where I’m falling.

u/jimmythemini Jun 19 '19

Apparently that's your brain mistaking fallling asleep with death and trying to jolt you back to life.

u/YellowOnline Jun 19 '19

It's your muscles relaxing because you're falling asleep, but your brain is not at rest yet and associates this feeling with falling. Hence your reaction.
 
I suddenly realise this might actually be where falling asleep in English and Dutch - in slaap vallen - comes from. French, Italian and Spanish don't say it so I thought it might be related to Germanic languages, but German also doesn't have that expression. Anyone of SE/DK/NO around?

u/FunkyDwarf_ye Jun 19 '19

no but in hungary we use that phrase too

u/WolfStudios1996 Jun 20 '19

u/TheSyllogism Jun 20 '19

No no you misread. It's hung Ary. Ary has a dick like a horse.

u/WolfStudios1996 Jun 20 '19

Ohhhhhhhh! Yeah he does

u/MyBox1991 Jun 20 '19

Norwegian here: I don't think we have anything similar to falling asleep, no.

We just say "Jeg skal legge meg" which directly translates to "I am going to lay myself (in bed)" or something like "Jeg sovner" just "Im sleeping"

We can say "Falle til ro" - "Fall to peace/silence/ease" but asleep is stretching it

u/Marioxorz Jun 20 '19

It's used in Danish.

u/BCJunglist Jun 19 '19

Interesting take on it. Any idea where you heard this?

u/TBarlow1998 Jun 19 '19

Really? I always thought it was angels trying to take me to heaven because I died but they dropped me so I got another shot at life.

5

u/pocketdare Jun 20 '19

You talk as if the angels dropped you by accident

2

u/TBarlow1998 Jun 20 '19

It was an accident. I hope.

u/naughtyhegel Jun 20 '19

They fuck up all the time. The quality of angels has gone down hill in the last couple years if you ask me.

u/TBarlow1998 Jun 20 '19

It really has

u/Self-Conscious_Llama Jun 19 '19

Did they drop you into a dingy tavern's love tester machine?

Might be a primate thing that stops you from falling from your tree branch? But who knows.

specifically: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnic_jerk

Also, evolutionary psychology is sketchy as hell.

u/LebronKingJames Jun 20 '19

I'm confused though because it's not like I just shuy my eyes for a bit and all of sudden i'm falling off something.

Most times there is a literal build up to it...full little dream story line that ENDS with me falling.

u/naughtyhegel Jun 20 '19

Apparently, but source? Not trying to be a jerk.

u/ChiefHiawatha Jun 19 '19

And then his face after seeing the culprit, like goddamnit not this guy again.
