8. Kylo Ren sacrifices himself and destroys the First Order, […].

Let me enhance this: the First Order got some kind of doomsday device and Kylo Ren destroys it by ramming his light saber in a reverse-king-arthur-like-sword-stone-move into the main reactor control unit.

I don’t mind them at all when they’re in the stables, I’m talking about when Rose and Finn are “riding” them.

Carrie Poppin’s

Can we not?

Precisely.

Although, I will say it did remind me that I dislike the CGI there too because they decided for some reason to try and make her look much younger and it really stands out. I mean, in the close up, why do it there? Just film her!

Is this a joke I’m not getting?

No…

I just watched that scene last night, so it’s definitely not a case of me not remembering. The close up on her when she’s floating in space (right before she wakes up) looks super fake. If it’s not fake I’d be astounded.

I think i saw the specific scene in the ‘The Director and the Jedi’ documentary for a brief moment. You can see Rian Johnson looking at a small screen showing Carrie Fisher in a close up. I guess it’s not fake but heavily digitally manipulated.

It simply hits me on an emotional level that TFA failed to reach.

Thought TFA was a really fun adventure and I loved it.

TLJ crippled me emotionally!

I approve this comment.

As Lexx pointed out in the other TLJ thread…

TLJ home video trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecd4eA067P0

Hmmm, Canto Bight is nowhere to be seen in the trailer. I wonder why? 😉

Haven’t you guys watched Event Horizon? It’s Hell itself.

SPOILERS!

Kylo Rens car kinda looks like a Batmobile

And Snokes like …well, like an Egghead villain Car

DominicCobb said:

Mocata said:

Speculation - will the trailer use Lapti Nek or some kind of MECO style remix?

The former, unfortunately unlikely. The latter? That’d be pretty cool.

At worst … this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg_FoEy8T_A

Since Jabba is rumored to be in this movie, i think we will see this droid again:

Some dumb mistranslation because of this droid will happen. Maybe that Han does not need to worry if he looses Jabbas cargo or not.

It would have made more sense to show him getting greyer as time went on, since it would then line up with Vader’s face too as they were both dark side users. Didn’t he look worse in AOTC than ROTS? It’s a redundant rebate I suppose.

He totally did.

AOTC

ROTS

I guess they were originally going for him to look more and more corrupted over time.

Never heard of the EMPEROR PALPATINE SURGICAL RECONSTRUCTION CENTER?

My only gripes right now are how bad Yoda looked, […].

Yes, especially his face. Yoda looked as if he ate a bunch of lemons right before he talks to Luke. It seemed to be the puppet Yoda, but the puppeteers movements were way to jerky.

Saw it yesterday. Went in absolutely spoiler-free. I feel deeply confused about TLJ. The movie did some unexpected things. I have to see it a second time.

I really hope on the Blu-Ray that they do a commentary track the writers and director so maybe they can shed some light on what they were thinking.

I’d like to know if those would be Anakins went on to have a career. I don’t think the doc identified them though?

Avengers: Infinity War Official Trailer

Small nitpicks:

• Unconvincing Thanos CGI. He looks a shaved gorilla or a rejected Hellboy concept.
• Half of the shown stuff is hidden BLACK PANTHER advertising.

Greatest Moment:

• The last scene 😃😃😃

Rey’s marksmanship is a perfect example of the sexist bullshit that is the Mary Sue argument. Think how common it is in movies (not just Star Wars) that a guy picks up a gun for the first time and his aim and ability is never questioned. Yet they go out of their way to show that Rey isn’t perfect with a blaster but people call it out anyway.

Name some examples. I want examples where it is established that the character has never fired a gun before, and takes place in a story where a similar established character misses a lot, even though it shows that he already owns a gun.

Ellen Ripley isn’t an example.

Because you didn’t point out a scene which established that Ripley had never fired a gun prior to the first time we see her fire one, for starters.

How about her? She never used an axe before.

[Rose is about to cut Jack free with an axe]

Jack: Wait, wait, wait! Take a couple practice swings over there.

[Rose chops a hole in a cupboard door]

Jack: Good! Now try and hit the same mark again, Rose. You can do it!

[Rose chops again, missing the first hole by about 3 feet]

Jack: Okay, that’s enough practice.

Here is another German VHS set. The artworks are okay i guess. There is always a round shape behind the centered character. The red planet (or sun?) on the Empire artwork supports Vaders samurai-ish look. The worst element is the font color. Red?! Why? And some of the actors faces look awkward. The best element are the adquate lightsabers on each of the specific movie boxes.

Jim Smith said:

And Luke and Leia being brother and sister is pretty ridiculous and gross.

But not as ridiculous and gross like this TPM exquisite dialogue:

Padme: "You’re a pilot?"
Little Ani: “Mmhm. All my life.”

A 9-year old boy tells us that he has been a pilot ALL-OF-HIS-LIFESPAN.
9 years old … and he talks about that pilot stuff like he is in his mid 50s.

Topic question: Are retrospective changes just fan service?

Boba Fetts new appearance in ANH (him looking directly in the camera)

and his enhanced appearance in ROTJ (his ladiesman attitude)

could be filed as fan service.

Imagine Lucas thinking:
If i had known that you fans like this guy so much, i would have never killed him off. Sooooo, here he is! Just for you! I directed him to look right into the camera … well, basically he is looking at YOOOUUUU!

OT Fans: “If you want to release the unaltered OT, you need to talk to 20th Century Fox.”

Kennedy: “Why is that?”

OT Fans: “Because Fox still owns the rights to 1977’s original Star Wars. So you have to finalise an extraordinary complex agreement in which you…”

Disney: “We bought 20th Century Fox.”

[Everybody turns and stares at them. Disney just shrugs]

Disney: “It seemed neater.”

The Descent is great. I meant to watch the sequel but they pulled it off Netflix before I had the chance.

There’s a sequel?!?!

Don’t watch the Sequel! It’s awfully boring, ruins the ending of the first movie and weakens the mystery surrounding the creatures.
