Rey’s theme and the Jedi Steps are the best ones.

It’s the usual JJ problem; rush through it all and don’t think about anything. It’s about emotions it’s not about story. What matters is what you feel when the old and new (R2 and BB8) fit together with two map pieces.

They should have David Lynch direct the next Star Wars. Let’s get weird.

I love him.

Palpatine’s journey (Spoiler? But not really)

His robe shouldn’t even be a ghost!

ALOL.

At this point it’s looking very slow, and it seems like TROS made in a week what TLJ made in a weekend. One more holiday weekend will be the test.

Like jazz.

A bunch of musicians soloing at the same time?

This was the ideal situation to allow Finn’s arc and role to be properly finished. But when they board Kylo’s ship it’s not even Finn who advises them to shoot the cameras. I honestly imagined a restored (or crippled) Phasma to arrive, so that he could work with Janna to face their past. Instead… nothing?

If you take the spliced in shots of R2-D2 on death star whilst playing chess on the millennium falcon. If I was right that those stop motion chess pieces time exactly with the spliced in shots of R2-D2 then we can confirm Special effects not completed and R2-D2 was spliced in to cover the unfinished sequence although it was shot just not finished. If you were going to do a Special Edition why on earth would you not restore those special effects shots restoring how the film was planned and “meant to be”

These aren’t unfinished effects. They probably just forgot to do closeups of R2 in the falcon. Whoever thought of using the Death Star footage for that scene was a genius, you’d never know if someone hadnt pointed it out to you.

The editors were legit geniuses.

I’m kind of curious if Ben Solo took an Imperial TIE from the wrecked Death Star, because they don’t have a hyperdrive, right?

Correct.

Worse is how the FO TIEs kept following the Falcon at the start… What is that about?

Just do a quick google image search. You can quickly see (A) the “gold Vader” boxed version and (B) the later versions that have the GOUT bonus disc inside, these have a blue “fullscreen” label on the top of the artwork.

How rude!

R2-D2 is obviously the star. A cantankerous 1970s anti-hero who plays by his own rules.

Fair enough. Screams above is right, in some regions the gold version was the fullscreen one.

Still almost 200mil to go before they break even. I guess we’ll have to see if there’s more interest between now and January 1st.

The manga versions were hilarious, I recommend them.

Why would you want any film in fullscreen format?

Even without a contract Disney probably just don’t want to show these kind of changes or admit they ever existed.

I’m done with this shitty saga. It died long ago. Enjoy your shitty movies and dumb blockbusters.

Remember, the Force will be with you always.

Originally the First Order were said to have come out of the Unknown Regions I think. So it’s not unreasonable, it just doesn’t make sense that they bothered even attacking before 10,000 planet killing ships were made.

If Palpatine has a secret force lab then it’s fine for him to slowly come back to life in a tube. It’s just the way this material is handled and the lines he says that are so odd.

To be fair though the name of the movie is dumb. I would prefer Rey to stay as nobody and have peace with that.

Was Palpatine really her grandfather though? I mean his “son” didn’t look like some darkside freak, and the timeline doesn’t seem to fit. Was he lying? It’s all so rushed.

That would be fine.
