I’m looking forward to seeing it. I actually think TFA is not as good as I first thought, because while the acting and directing is spot on, the plot doesn’t make sense.

I would say some of the acting is actually really bad. Ford had some very awkward movements. Though to his defence, some of the dialogue/situations were just embarrassing to begin with.

His acting in TFA is head and shoulders above the phoned in performance he gave in ROTJ.

Quite the opposite. It even makes his acting in ROTJ look good.

Ford 1983 v Ford 2015 is a cripple fight. He sucks in both movies.

Please, share !

Luke spends like 4 hours with Obi-Wan.

The best 4 hours of his life.

Oh you’ve just reminded me that Ezra is born the very same day of the very same year as Luke. And he’s way more powerful than Luke, who has only managed to “Force get” his saber and to make small stones levitate in TESB.

The show really needs to solve its continuity issues some day…

I don’t think the ones in charge of the movies do care that much of the tvseries. Ok, a minor TCW character will be a minor Rogue One character, but seriously who would think that a kid-oriented tvseries is going to show the premice of the Snoke character, hence destroying one of the subplots of Ep VIII ? I highly doubt they would do that (has Ryan Johnson written a season 3 episode ?). The show needs to focus on its own plots (including loose ends of TCW, such as Maul/Obi-Wan, Anakin/Ahsoka and so on), everything else they’ve tried to do wasn’t that great so far.

Yep, and JJ has already said that EpV won’t be a rehash of EpVIII. And I believe him!

I read there was only 25 seconds left to do on ESB REVISITED, but that was about a month ago.

25 seconds left of screentime does not equal a short amount of work left.

It took an hour to write, I thought it would take an hour to read.

PM sent.

His AOTC review is a masterpiece.

After watching the last (bad) episode, I was wondering: why is this show about Jedi/former Jedi, Padawan/former Padawan, Vader, Sith/former Sith, etc. and so little about the rebellion ? It’s time they get back to rebellion business, I’m so tired by this “Force” plot that is not quite coherent with what we’ve seen in the movies so far.

(not to mention a film JJ is barely involved in).

So what does he know about VIII if he’s barely involved in ? This is only “advertising” statements (“yeah this was a rehash but the next one will be good !”) ; there is no point in discussing that until the movie is released.

By that I mean “visually interesting”, with lots of ideas. TFA has a few as well, but not as much.

DominicCobb said:
There is not a single thing in the PT that is better than TFA. Fact.

Well… no. I can think of at least 3 major points that are better in the PT movies than in TFA. Music, narratives, global aesthetics (a fourth would be: no squirrel face in the PT). But this has already been discussed so many times I don’t even understand why people stick to their “it’s a FACT !” motto, whether you agree or not. Replace “Fact” by “imo” it works better.

have the RLM guys seen the Despecialized Editions?

I think they are old enough to have watched the OT before 1997.

I think he was referring to the fact that they still use Blu-Ray footage in their reviews.

Good point. It’s particularly noticeable with the “green” AOTC footage.

AOTC -0.-1

So +0.1 ?

Not much has changed since last time (with grades):

1. ANH: 10
2. TESB: 10
3. ROTJ: 8.5
4. ROTS: 6
5. TPM: 4.5
6. TFA: 4
7. AOTC: 2
8. TCW (cgi movie): 0.5

And I would still give something like 7/10 for Hal9000’s PT as a whole. An extra 0.2 would also be given to his TFA-Lone Star Edition.

The “Clone Wars” Tartatovsky’s animated series taken as a 2h15 movie would get 8/10.

Why am I supposed to care about this guy’s opinion again?

You don’t need to care about his opinion, it’s just that his review is funny as hell.

Don’t worry, this guy just believes he’s funny, don’t pay attention to him, he never contributes to anything here.

Don’t know. “Sheev” and “Sith” are never heard in the OT.

That’s easy. Just travel back in time to the early '80s, kidnap Lucas, drop him off at a deserted island somewhere, then place Gary Kurtz in charge of the franchise.

At least by leaving the saga he got the opportunity to show us what he had in mind for the PT.

Yep, now we know how Frink’s humor works.

Never watch Samurai Jack dude, it would be too much pain to endure for you.

Let’s say it is, but at least it’s still less dumb than his portrayal in the cgi version or “Yoda the Hedgehog” of AOTC.

Forced sarcasm is the death of humor… and badass Windu destroying battle droids is fun, not dumb. And it’s only 3 minutes action sequence (which begins and ends with a great idea by the way, so “dumb as hell” does not quite define this sequence) in a 135 minutes show which contains the best scenes “Star Wars” has offered since TESB (things like Anakin v Ventress). So ok, just remember the (epic) Windu thing you don’t like and don’t enjoy the show as a whole, your loss.
