I thought Austin Powers could have gone a lot further in spoofing 007 movies. Poke fun at the gunbarrel and title sequences. The otherwise forgettable Spy Hard had an awesome title sequence, directed by Weird Al no less!

Annoying that you can only find a textless version on Youtube.

Best gunbarrel spoof can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rlW38INlCQ#t=0m26s

You’re implying we’d be the only ones who would object to that more than questionable list. And just like your other assumptions (and most of whatever else you post) this one is dead wrong as well.

I would object as well (still ANH is first so the guy knows a few things about good movies), but are you really going to judge every single rank around ?

We should then make rules about ranking:

  1. all ranks have to begin with ANH and ESB (choose your own order)
  2. all ranks have to end with AOTC
  3. TFA being fresh with a strong fan base around, don’t rank it lower than 4th (and never lower than TPM or ROTS)

I’ll judge any list that has a PT movie higher than any film in the OT and TFA

Oh so there is a 4th rule needed. Thanks to the milicia to help people into thinking the same thing :d

I’m seeing some buzz that Ben Mendelssohn’s officer character may in fact be the old EU’s Armand Isard, who was re-canonized by the Tarkin novel. Someone connected to Lucasfilm (I forget exactly who) hinted that we may have seen him before on Twitter yesterday.

His outfit sure looks cool (we have never seen Grand Admiral before in live action). The actor has an interesting “Cushing-like” face. Could be a good vilain for once.

Just ignore the guy. You can reply to him when you’re in a good mood (for fun) but don’t bother.

But does it mean the unfinished vilain is to be an idiot ? If JJ wanted to show Ren as an idiot, he succeeded I guess. I just think the whole idea to be… well… stupid. And why would Snoke choose leaders that are so incompetent ? Tarkin and Vader were assholes but efficient and competent assholes. They ultimately fail because of unpredictable bad luck (a gifted pilot out of nowhere - a simple farmer when the movie begins - who got help by an old wise man - presumed dead when the story begins - and by a smuggler who decided to take side for the first time of his life: what are the odds ?). Ren and Hux fail because they are incompetent and are surrounded by incompetent people (Captain Phasma…). No one takes them seriously. Snoke seems as bright as Kim Jong II in Team America.

(I would have added “And Kasdan to write it”, but since TFA I’m not sure the guy is still the great screenwriter he once was)

He co wrote it with JJ so whatever you feel regarding TFA would not be entirely his “fault”

Well, I know. I believe the first act and Han’s death to be Kasdan’s (because it’s really close to what him, Lucas and Kurtz had in mind when they talked about REVENGE OF THE JEDI and the sequel trilogy), and the second act and most of the third act to be JJ’s. We’ll know the truth in a decade or so.

Not that I am want to defend Ghibil(after all we are talking about a guy who is such a douchebag that he puts ROTS above TESB) but TV Frinks should not have provoked him.

People should ignore TV Fink and not respond to his provocations, the guy is just the official troll of the forum. He gets jealous when someone is more insufferable than him and tries his best to get him banned. So just ignore him.

(wait a second… ROTS above TESB ?!? Both should get banned then 😄))

Star Wars: A New Threat (TFA EDIT) (Released)
Time

I added in the “You’re so right” last minute. I have a draft of kylo and Snoke. I thought about removing all snoke scenes but it could leave a plot hole.

I don’t remember Snoke being useful in the plot. The character is awful. At least you should cut the line about Kylo who should finish his training, otherwise why would he have appointed him second in command of the fleet ? So if Snoke is stupid, the threat he represents does not work. I would hence advise to remove him entirely (leave the dialogues when he’s mentionned, à la Emperor in ANH).

By the way,“You’re so right” is not really an issue. Are you going to remove Poe’s joking during his arrest ?

It’s already an improvement over the original material. I wasn’t sure about the music but it works well. If you cut most of Finn weird scenes ("I don’t want to kill" and then "LASERSABER KILLING !!!") and all of Kylo Ren going Donald Duck (and all of Snoke incredibly stupid scenes), you could achieve with Ep VII what Hal and others have achieved with the PT: making highly flawed movies watchable and, why not, good enough.
