If it doesn’t break even by the end of this weekend I’d suspect the studio will be worried though.

Fair enough, with two review threads I’d have thought this was redundant and verging on wummery before anyone posted.

On topic though TLJ… was pretty good.

Boba Fett… uh he fell into a hole an died? What an icon.

Mangold though, sounds like a case of creative differences waiting to happen.

Okay so… the whole thing goes

1. Star Wars
2. Empire
3. Jedi

4. TLJ / TFA

Yeah, but for every positive comment made there are about 50 negative ones.

Go back and count each one again, I think you’ll be surprised. Remember to sift the review thread and the spoiler thread and report back to us.

This is a pretty wild and overly long debate over a robot that is just yet another lug headed out spoken comic relief character. These archetypes exist in genre movies, big deal. People like that exist. They’re not mentally damaged or anything. They’re usually not very funny either. Real life isn’t Star Wars.

I don’t remember Vader or Luke single-handledly winning a war.

Neither do I. So we’re in agreement? These comics look pretty embarrassing.

Conceived =/= perceived 😉

Luke is out of character in TLJ.

I liked his character but this is the most understandable complaint I have heard of against the Last Jedi. I completely see where people are coming from cause it was a bold and risky decision.

I’m still bemused by the way people think that he would have stayed in stasis for 30 years and not changed as a person. It’s a pretty long time in which a lot of events could have happened. On top of this they had to write a story in which he doesn’t just come back immediately (making him look like an idiot for hiding in the first place) and an arc that doesn’t end in a videogame massacre where a dozen AT-ATs are smashed (making it look like one man could have won the war - or the wars that came before this - single-handedly at any time). Outside the third flashback being too similar to Kylo’s version it was all pretty well thought out.

On August 3, 1979?

The day he realised his first new original vision.

Star Wars …The Greatest Space Fantasy Of All ! read the tagline on many an original Star Wars Marvel comic . Makes sense , it has wizards, magic . dragons , Knights etc .

Right!

It’s always been a space opera whether he called it that or not. It’s big and often absurd without any actual science fiction elements. A space station that can destroy an entire planet = operatic. This saga stuff reeks of a desperate attempt to force (huhuh) some sense of congruity between the OT and the prequels.

What the heck is Minch?

Stephen Fry as Vader

Right. Trying to change the numbers later at the studio stage is just like a band aid. Is that the word? A sticking plaster! Looking at the current statistics the wrong approach.

Anyway … Jon Favreau XD

Is he a good writer? I didn’t see Chef.

Unless this is part of the story it’s all just pre-release clickbait though.

Sometimes I feel like it doesn’t even matter. You have a whole generation of fans who grew up on the SEs and that’s all they know. They are lost.

But Fang Zei is certain it’s gonna happen!

The thing is that the only way to properly assess skills when it comes to filmmaking is prior work. And it’s harder for non-white males to get that kind of work.

But again it comes back to a cause being why they don’t have prior work, which reaches back to why the school didn’t tell everyone about what is possible in whatever the example career was. Certain groups are pushed to certain things early in life - realising you’re not getting a certain job when you’re 25 is too late.

The Invisible Enemy, which shows how vicious the Ewoks should have been.

Is there a version that isn’t jittery 360p?

Ewoks are jittery little things at any resolution.

In a true skills first meritocracy certain groups would still be outnumbered in certain countries just because of the make-up of the population. As things are today I think white women being seen less in positions like directors/writers etc. is more to do with the number of applicants, which in turn relates to the number of people that were motivated by education or parenting to become writers/directors.

A pretty interesting video about Solo, Rogue One (and more) and what the ‘directed by’ credit actually means.

Hah that is possibly amazing.

This the spoiler thread so, shoot.

I think I know who you mean though. It sounded like a joke, so it’s probably true.
