Found a reddit thread where the creator answers a few questions.
Two bits of relevant information in there; the scene is not finished, and the intention will be that the scene can be dropped right into the movie. I assume that means it’ll be a sort of fanedit resource.
I can agree that the environment is off-putting; but in my case, I was so focused on the fighting that I didn’t notice it for a while.
I saw that earlier and thought about posting it, but figured it’d be a bit to radical for this place.
I agree, looks great. The CGI is really convincing.
I couldn’t say, I’ve never tried it 😉
I’ll try:

What a jackass.
That’s really gross.

Lots of people reacting as if the tweet was in earnest. I wish people would take the time to click on the article.
PETITION TO MAKE THE LAST JEDI AND THE PREQUELS NON-CANON
EDIT: PETITION TO MAKE THE LAST JEDI, THE PREQUELS, AND ROGUE ONE NON-CANON
When I told him about Han’s shirt in carbonite being fixed, this is what he said:
"Who cares about his stupid shirt?! How deranged do you have to be to care about or even notice that? Little girls are having their clitorises ripped off by religious zealots, and some nerd wants to fix Han Solo’s shirt?! There are VASTLY more important things in the world than this stupid nonsense. These nerds aren’t even creating art. They’re just saying to REAL artists, “Your stuff wasn’t good enough. Here, I’ll fix it.”
Tell that person that what they said is colossally stupid.
While I do wish that Leia was the one to do the hyperspace trick, I also think it was important that her and Luke were on screen together one last time. I believe that Rian felt the same way, but kinda wrote himself into a corner; the way he set up the rest of the plot, the only way for Luke and Leia to meet again would require that Leia makes it to Crait.
EDIT: And I don’t doubt for a second that there would be bitching if they didn’t appear on screen together.
I’m feeling like it might be good to close account registrations for a bit.

Uhh… nah.
EDIT: Wait, this isn’t the ranking thread.
That’s like saying everyone in WWI died in vain because WWII happened.
To be fair, WWI was a pretty meaningless war for the most part. I’d say that a lot of them did die in vain.
I don’t think Luke drawing his saber is out-of-character at all. In ROTJ, Luke had years to come to terms with what Vader had done. He didn’t have that time to contemplate and figure out what to do with Ben. And, as others have said, it was purely an instinctual reaction for him to draw his saber.
The Last Jedi: A movie made for stupid people with ADHD
Stopped reading right here.
Just to be sure, there was a gag with a small drunken CGI creature putting coins in BB8, right? I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere, and I want to make sure it wasn’t some sort of fever dream I had.
I’d definitely be interested in seeing it. Sent you a PM.
I think the execution was a little goofy, but I had no problem at all with the concept. I was happy to roll with it.
I agree.
EDIT:
I think that scene would have benefited from more subtlety. Instead of a long shot of Leia flying through space back to the ship, maybe keep on close ups of her hand or her face, with the space particles visibly moving around her to indicate she was somehow moving through the debris. Poe and co’s reactions to it can stay.
But I don’t think we needed to see her Skywalking so overtly.
I’m cool with the concept too though. It’s kinda rad.
I agree with this also.
People are going to warm up to this one. It’ll take some time, because it’s so different. But it will happen.
I think you’re right. I can already feel myself warming up to it a bit, definitely gonna have to watch it again.
Not sure how to feel. The highs are high and the lows are low. I really like where the story seems to be headed (except for a few severed plot-lines that could’ve been wrapped up a bit more); but there are a lot of elements that seem very ‘focus-grouped’ and Lucas-ian (the slave children, CGI animal comedy). Leia’s non-death was executed pretty cheesily, IMO; and Finn and Rose going to Canto Bight was pointless. The Luke/Leia/Kylo plotline was very interesting, and the throneroom scene is easily a 10/10 by itself. This might be the one I have to rewatch.
Yeah.
I haven’t seen Justice League, but I’m gonna leave my unsolicited opinion anyway:
I am 100% confident in saying Suicide Squad is the worst movie I’ve ever seen.
According to the article, Shaver immediately exited the room and complied with their demands.
If true, it would seem that the the cop was acting at the beginning of the video doesn’t make sense. But I will still like to see what trained police officer like Ferris would have to say about this.
You’re right, it doesn’t make sense. They were behaving unreasonably, don’t you think? It’s almost as if they conducted themselves poorly, and that poor conduct led to a death that didn’t need to happen…
I’m not presuming anything, I’m coming to a conclusion based on the evidence.
You presumed they “got on the scene intending to kill someone”
You presumed they “They shouted confusing demands at him, hoping for him to slip up; as if to justify their cold-blooded murder.”
You presumed they “wanted to play with their prey”
I’ve come down off that high, and no longer feel confident in saying those things. I think they’re possible, and not too unreasonable to assume; but we can’t know for sure.
If they conduct themselves properly, there’s no reason to worry. This was not conducted properly,
There is every reason to worry. For all we know, Darren Wilson conducted himself properly
Oh, okay, so coming onto the scene already on-edge and acting in a way that doesn’t make sense, giving demands that get in the way of a hasty arrest, making someone crawl around on the floor; none of that amounts to poor conduct. What is poor conduct, then?
That is what they were trying to do, arrest him, I think.
And the sick Simon Says game was just part of the arrest, right?
As I said. I don’t agree with that part and don’t understand they just didn’t order the guy to lay flat and search him and then arrest him in that position. But I am not a cop, perhaps there is a good reason for not doing that I don’t know about.
This doubt is unreasonable.
What should they have done? approach a suspect that could have been armed and try to arrest him and risk getting shot?
Yes. They’re taught that one officer to is supposed to aim at the suspect and provide cover while the other officer moves up to make the arrest.
You realize that if the suspect does something that requires the officer to fire while the other officer is in position to make the arrest, he be firing right in the direction of the officer making the arrest, right?
Cop 1 goes around the left, Bodycam Cop keeps his aim on Shaver. It would be a little risky, though, you’re right. I think it would’ve been safest to move him towards the end of the hallway, which looks much more open and conducive to a safe arrest.
- the average untrained citizen does not understand everything about police work. Sometimes they may do something that does not make sense to the untrained person but makes perfect sense to the trained person.
Oh, so it is just part of the arrest, how silly of me to think that I could possibly understand. I just don’t have a high enough IQ to understand these incredibly complex 16th dimension tactics. Bullshit. Do we really have to know the ins and outs of police work to recognize that this was wrong?
It not a matter of not having a high enough IQ, it is a matter of not having the training and knowledge that comes with. Of course you if you say down with cops
I’m not saying “down with cops,” I respect cops for the most part; but I also think they should be held to a higher standard, and that their job is too important not to be scrutinized.
Tell me, how you like someone to judge how well you do your job, with having your training and without knowing the ins and outs of your job?
My job isn’t nearly as important or potentially dangerous. Allowing bad cops to go unchecked creates a dangerous precedent.
- watching a video again and again and again and perhaps in slow motion and being able to think all day about what the cop should have done while being safe and calm is not the same as the cop himself watching events fold out in real time having make decisions in split seconds with adrenaline pumping and heart beating and knowing if he makes a mistake he could get shot or another cop could get shot and having only one chance to get it right. Remember when that guy put his hand behind his back, the cop couldn’t just stop the video like we can and ponder what he should do before he hits play again.
The cops put themselves in that situation by fucking around with the suspect and not getting on with the arrest.
Again, I am not sure why they were going through with all that instead of ordering the guy to lay flat and search him and arrest him. Again knowing what happened before the camera started rolling would help and would speaking to cops and finding out about the proper tactics in these situations.
According to the article, Shaver immediately exited the room and complied with their demands.
EDIT: Sorry if this came across as too angry, but I really am tired of the gymnastics people will do to defend some cops. And I’m doubly tired of the “they felt threatened” get-out-of-jail-free card.
Well maybe cops are tired of being presumed guilty all time by people with no training and no real knowledge of police work.
I’m not presuming anything, I’m coming to a conclusion based on the evidence.
I agree they shouldn’t a " ‘they felt threaten’ get-out-of-jail-free card", but maybe they also shouldn’t have to live in fear that their lives will be ruined just be cause they had to act to defend their lives and/or that of their partner.
If they conduct themselves properly, there’s no reason to worry. This was not conducted properly,
Maybe with everyone out to get the cops, assuming they are just a bunch bigots out to get black people,
You’re ascribing views to me that I don’t hold.
That is what they were trying to do, arrest him, I think.

The cops put themselves in that situation by fucking around with the suspect and not getting on with the arrest. Either the officers are beyond stupid, or they deliberately wanted to prolong the engagement and raise the chances of the suspect fucking up. There is no third option. And I won’t accept that “they feared for their lives” crap, these were two trained officers with assault rifles up against a man crawling on the floor crying and begging not to be shot.
