It’s not terribly important, but just to point out - this is the rate TLJ thread. We have another thread for ranking all the SW films.

Sorry, rating and ranking are not similar? I’m not sure, since english is not my first langauge.

Rating is a number score for a movie, like 7/10. Ranking is putting several movies in order.

Thank you.

The Last Jedi: Official Review and Opinions Thread ** SPOILERS **

I definitely noticed at least one of those times. In the comics, Luke gave Poe’s parents a sapling from the tree in the Jedi temple on Coruscant that he recovered from one of the Emperor’s research installations. Growing up around that tree probably endowed him with some level of Forve sensitivity.

WTF? I read that comic and didn’t realize that these two were Poes parents. Although, I read it waaay before I saw the movie and fell in love with the new characters.

So, did I get that right? You get the Blu-ray for free if you buy the 4K version?

I think I got an analogy for how part of me feels about THE LAST JEDI.

I feel like the grandfather from The Princess Bride was in the middle of telling Fred Savage a story. He had to leave and he came back the next day. Except, it wasn’t him that came back, but Rick (of Rick and Morty).

I was with you until you said “Rick” and I’m like “I don’t know who that is.”

I was with you until you said “The Princess Bride” and I’m like “I have never seen this movie.”

I think my double entendre escaped notice.

I think people are just so used to you being a pervert they don’t see the point in acknowledging it anymore.

Oops

No, I really didn’t get the joke. I really thought he meant (Courteney) Cox, not cocks. Again, english is not my first language. But now that I got the joke I had to smirk. A little.

Yeah, without the original Director/Producer/Writer (GL) on board, it makes it more unlikely for a third party like Criterion to have a go at it.

Also, I think people underestimate just how much George hates the originals vs the Special Editions. There is no way he ever would have double dipped and released them. I think part of it is also tied to Marcia and their fallout.

George actually laughed with glee when shown Han stepping on Jabba’s tail for the first time, and considered it one of the best things they had ever done. He loves the vision of the SE, and that’s cool, he is allowed to, but you really have to understand just how much he doesn’t want the originals to exist anymore.

Anyway, I’m sure everyone has their own opinion on this stuff, mine is that it isn’t going to happen so we need to do it properly, others will be convinced it will happen, and honestly I hope they are right, but I don’t believe there is a shred of evidence or even a scenario where it could be vaguely probable to happen.

In regards to Marcia, are you referring to the theory that she got a cut of the OT’s sales until the SE came along and negated it? I thought that rumor was debunked. Unless you’re referring to something else.

No, not the money, the personal stuff. I’ll dig out the references.

Didn’t George have an affair with the original Lapti Nek singer? And it didn’t end well, did it? And now the original (the movie version) Lapti Nek is “lost forever”.

Hate to double post but this is definitely worth a peek. Seth McFarlane has apparently been working on a new live action series:

The Orville: Official Trailer

Uh, did they just rip off Galaxy Quest?

And that building at the 2 minute mark is about 15 miles down the 101 freeway from me. 😉

Well, it’s not a show about actors of a 70a/80s scifi series who are beamed into space by aliens who think these actors are real space adventurers. So, no, they didn’t.

To me the trailer for The Orville looks far more exciting than the trailer for Discovery.
