The scar that moved

If anyone still has issues suspending disbelief over Kylo's scar, think of Luke managing to get a robotic hand from a Rebel medical frigate and imagine the level of medical care that must be available to those near the top of a resource rich FO hierarchy! Between bacta, skin grafts, top surgeons, and access to The Force it mightn't be too far-fetched for a fantasy world.

Besides, I wouldn't have put it past Emo Kylo Ren insisting on retaining some kind of permanent reminder of his hesitancy to swiftly kill "the girl" - or even adding a scar himself after the fact

FWIW a clean slice through the skin on the underside of my wrist (arm vs window as an angry teenager) actually happened to have moved by a good half an inch by the time it had fully healed. (I should add none of my many other scars have ever managed to repeat the feat!)

 

It was irony. Just irony. I think the scar discussion is ridiculous.

 

For me, it was fair for fans to raise the issue. The scar had moved. However, I am happy with the explanation that RJ has given. He simply felt that the scar in its original place was distracting. I can live with that explanation. Now let's move on.

 

Who cares, it looks cooler now anyways.

 

Cough... Leia having memories of her dead biological mother... cough.

 

But it's still a huge inconsistency which baffles me even more since George Lucas went back and in ROTJ he removed Vader's eyebrows and made Anakin's Force Ghost look like Hayden Christensen. He could have cut the mother part of the dialogue or simply not make Padme die straight afer she gave birth to Luke and Leia. He got the tools to fix it and din't use them. Why? At least in Kylo's case we got to know why such a change was made.

 

I'm not for or against this change. I don't care. The change is miniscule enough for most of the viewers to not see. Besides, it may have been stitched in such a way that one side of the scar was pulled more than the other one, thus slightly altering its placement on his face. The end of story. I would also also argue that even half of the changes made in the Special Editions were made for consistency reasons but that's not the topic of this discussion, so I'll just end here.

 

My little nephews love to be Kylo Ren, they used to wear the black mask. Now they can wear the Kylo Ren face mask with a cool scar placement on it. I image the merchandising with the old scar would look ugly.

 

Such a waste of time arguing over the most miniscule "problem" in the franchise. Seriously, we are talking about a saga where the Republic's age was changed from a thousand generations to a thousand years between the two trilogies, and this is what bothers you?

That is arguable to say the least. Like it was mentioned above, Leia having memories of her real biological mother and what happened in ep III was an intentional change for the sake of closure. Or the fundamental altering of the technology and visual style of the OT (for a backstory which takes place a mere 18-31 years before ANH) for the sake of modern visual effects and imagery.

What about putting rocks in the front of R2? Or changing Ben's scream? What about completely altering ANH's Oscar winning editing, and even the soundtrack for a couple added CGI scenes? What about the infamous "Han shot first"? And so on... Were those changes also made for the sake of consistency?

And stop giving people "off topic" for bringing up these topics, please. If you are bringing up inconsistency in Star Wars you need to address the other issues as well.

 

yeah right, but using the Force to reajust a scar- impossible.

 

Hope that gets fixed.

 

Millions of others... Nice statistics you have there. Btw there is nothing wrong with rejecting the ST. Obviously, as a saga expands over time and additional story, there will be some or many aspects that some might not accept.

Context.

I'll put it simple: No, it wasn't. The technology and the neo retro gritty look of the OT was completely changed in the PT.
It was perfectly done in Rogue One and TFA on the other hand. Those two perfectly merged modern CGI with the original look and style of Star Wars.

And how did he get there in the first place then?

So according to your logic, "immersion" is an excuse for the changes in the OT. Consider Kylo's scar change an "immersion" change then. It certainly looks more badass now.
It's a shame that you dodged the other examples I gave you though. I was curious what's the blind Lucas fan's excuse for the imfamous "Han shot first" change...

Please start using less "you" in your posts. Address the post and not the poster is the rule here. Try having an argument.

 

Geeze..i know it's noticeable and all that...but now i'm going to be more drawn to it in the movie because of all this craziness surrounding it. If nobody made such a huge deal about it, i would've watched it, noticed it moved, continued watching with little thought about seeing the scar throughout the rest of the movie. Now, i'm going to be staring at it thinking, "Gosh theres a lot of seriously unhappy people out there right now."

I get it..it could've, maybe should've, been left alone and kept in the same spot...BUT it will not bother me to the point of ruining the movie for me or making me think RJ is just doing whatever he wants... It's not like they put it on the wrong side and made it into a completely different shaped scar. I refuse to let a slightly moved scar ruin the rest of the movie for me. If it bothers you that much, i certainly am sorry that you won't enjoy the movie as much as everyone else, but that sounds like a 'you' problem. Dwell on this scar until the next tidbit of info comes out that works us all into a frenzy.
