New clip!
“The Asteroid Field” theme gave me the biggest, dumbest grin.
The pacing and energy in that scene feels off. Besides the Asteroid Field theme nothing gave me any excitement. Am i dead or is this more about “I have a bad feeling about this movie”?
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.
Yesterday - 4 months later - i saw TLJ a second time. All by myself. Without any piled up hype and high expectations as in december 2017…
… what can i say…
… this time i really enjoyed THE LAST JEDI.
Maybe because i was prepared for the unexpected stuff Rian Johnson put into his movie. Some things are still strange (space cow milking, Carrie Poppins) or dissapointing (the cave beneath Ahch-To revealing absolutely nothing) but overall a very enjoyable Star Wars movie. Not as fun and entertaining as THE FORCE AWAKENS, but still good.
Mark Hamills performance was superb. But i have to admit i had to get used to his demoralized mental state. Before TLJ came out, i wrote the movie in my head. I expected Luke Skywalker went to the first Jedi temple to examine why the Force always splits itself into light & dark side. And that he would attempt to “repair” or seal the rift once and for all. By the way i never wished to see Luke ripping Star Destroyers apart. I wished to see some Jedi temple exploration, maybe with some traps (here comes my Dark Forces II fan mind) and a great showdown in the final hall. Maybe The Knights of Ren VS Luke & Rey - no Prequel-esque coreography though, but some decent raw TFA-esque lightsaber fight. Luke being captured at end by Snoke resulting a nice cliffhanger for Episode IX … oh man, some many things come into my mind i expected or wanted to see in TLJ. No wonder i was dissapointed 😉
I have no idea how Mark Hamill was roped into this, but it’s fabulous: 😛

(Mark’s part starts around 1:18)Apparently, Mark also tweeted about it: “I remember not wanting to wear a gold jumpsuit like a rejected member of ABBA or if I could memorize dialogue in a foreign language-but thought “Who cares? No one outside of Germany will ever see this!” Thanks to the internet-NOTHING EVER GOES AWAY. Who knew?” -Mark Hamill
Oh my god, that is Holiday Special entertainment level. As a german now i feel somewhat embarrassed 😉
I don’t know if this was posted already:

- 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.
12 days until blu ray!
We’ve got to wait until the 9th April here in the UK . Not happy 😦
Here in Germany we have got to wait until the 26th April. 😦
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.
“Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse.”
SPOILERS!
Kylo Rens car kinda looks like a Batmobile
And Snokes like …well, like an Egghead villain Car
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?

Greatest Moment:
Disney Acquisition Talks With Fox Reportedly Back On
http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/11/29/disney-acquisition-talks-with-fox-reportedly-back-on
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.
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.
