Star Wars moving forward without Ms. Fisher — Page 9

Cushing; They either had to recreate Tarkin, CGI or otherwise, or have a strange a absense in the current film & story.

Tarkin was totally unnecessary fanservice in the film.

There should have been no Tarkin. Or Vader. Or X-wings. Or Death Star. Or stars. Or wars. They shouldn’t have made this movie. I shouldn’t have watched it. I hated it. I keep posting about it. Everything sucks.

You don’t think it would have been weird for the commander of the Death Star in SW not to be present in this movie, which ends right before SW?

The story was about stealing the Death Star plans. It didn’t have to have Tarkin or the Death Star in it.

The only thing that had to be in the plot was the rebels stealing the technical readouts of the battle station. Now, if you are going to write a story about that, how would you envision the rebels doing such a thing? Where would they even find the technical blueprints for the battle station? What kind of security would they have to bypass? How would they even discover where this place is? I think these are the kinds of things one needs to consider when they sit down and write a story.

It would be very plausible that the plans would be located at a research and development facility. Most probably, that would be the research and development facility where they actually did research and developed the design for the Death Star. Then, the rebels would have to find out about this place from their spies. And they would have to infiltrate it or attack the base and steal the plans and get out of dodge. That would be the plot of the story.

None of that requires the actual Death Star being in the movie. It doesn’t require 10 different star systems and a research base where Galen dies and another place where they store the records. It doesn’t require a THX style data gripfinder just because well, that would be cool to put it in the movie because we saw it in some other movie before.

This is all fanservice schmuck. The kind of stuff people put in movies so they can wink at each other and feel smart and better about themselves, and the people watching the movie can think about how they saw the same thing in other movies and feel smart and better about themselves.

And it sucks.

That’s your prerogative.

I think Alderaan might be eligible for AARP membership.

And thank god we have yet another thread where he’s bitching about Rogue One or TFA.

If there is any chance they will try and do more CGI Carrie after she’s passed, particularly since they still haven’t given us the OOT in 5 years, then you’re dang right I will talk **** about Disney and their terrible films.

Except your post has nothing to do with that.

Yes, my posts were very much on topic, since we were talking about another dead CGI character not even being necessary in Rogue One, but Disney conjured him up anyway.

I’d just like to say this thread currently sucks.

For a moment there I thought I entered the Rogue One Spoilers thread.

Yeah, there’s a lot about Carrie Fisher in that post.

I’m sure it’s Disney’s fault.

I think the contingency plan for TFA was basically if one of them didn’t come back none of them would. It’s why everyone was so anxious about whether Harrison Ford would be back, given his history with the character.

I’m sure a collective sigh was heard from Lucasfilm the day Ford agreed to return.

Still, that plan is kind of out the window now …

It will be an emotional film to watch, I agree. Going to be hard to say goodbye to the princess.
