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.
I was in a store this morning and heard a radio presenter saying that after the weekend the reception has been amazing.
It already has one

Well spoilers, but Luke grows from there and becomes a true legend.
Both would be feasible if the Clone Wars were being conducted by public figures other than Yoda who hops around planets directing battles personally from a gunship, which is becoming dumber the more I type this… but different characters know about the mysterious religion in SW to some degree.
I think the Sith should be in hiding after their prior defeat, but the Jedi should be guardians of the Old Republic like knights, samurai or whatever medieval analogue works best. A religious order but not a governing body of any kind, servants and not military leaders. That way the lords/kings/caesars can filter into an appropriate rise of an Empire plot structure, and any slavery or gladiator parallels would actually be appropriate.
He made it personal by declaring himself a genius (when it was in fact a clear collaborative effort) and saying the films he changed were the only version (when the cultural impact, the awards, the rest of it were not those versions). People act like that because it’s only natural.
Yeah sorry I got carried away.
As for the movie, I’d say it needs at least 300mil more for anyone at LFL to be able to relax.
Gareth Edwards makes gorgeous compositions and understands the importance of worldbuilding, but can’t seem to make an interesting character to save his life.
Agree. They need his style but a script that actually works and has heart. Then they just need someone to edit the damn thing properly, without feeling like huge chunks where lost at the last minute. That’s the problem with most of the new movies, nobody seems to have a proper idea of what works and what needs to be left out. They all feel like a reshuffle of the parts is needed, some more than others.
I agree. The structure and tone are very particular, plus it’s got the special 70s vibe.
If the opening weekend is anything to go with so far I think they’re in trouble.
All the “general” threads are in the EU section, took me ages to figure it out. No worries, I’ll get there eventually.
This is really confusing.
“Own the originals last time” was 1995. The prequels wouldn’t come out for another 4 years.
He went back on that anyway 10 years later.
The 2006 disc release was bonus material and hardly an acceptable way in which to view the unaltered versions.
Sadly some people actually believe that’s the only way to see them.
Anyone else get some serious Star Trek TOS vibes with Rey and the serpent? We’re stuck in a cave and we gotta heal the misunderstood monster!
I thought of this exact thing! ALOL
This sort of thing?
To be fair isn’t the same as the “fake hand held” style. Not entirely anyway.
Those are just waiting for James Cameron to approve the new remasters.
The OOT is waiting for… a miracle at this point.
This movie was hilariously dumb. A huge rickety mess that I laughed out loud during. I kinda liked it. But it’s not good.
I don’t trust him. But I’ll let you know sometime Saturday. Until then, adiós.
