I was more interested in a Lando movie than a Han one from the start, so I’m totally on board.
Yep.
Perhaps among fans alone… whoever they are. Judging something through aggregators, ratings sites, video reviews all that stuff is inevitably a flawed idea. Because even in the modern digital age they’re used by a niche part of the audience to begin with. Time will tell when people are less emotional I guess, just things slowed down after TFA. Like everything else. I’m actually anxious after so much debate to see it on Blu-ray. Then again I just watched Justice League and it was a truly bad film, it’s probably all going to be fine.
Okay rather than making another quote pyramid I will just say that yes I believe TLJ fans to be the majority. Or at least those whole liked it plus the viewers who thought it was average at best. The RT score has clearly been meddled with. However even if you don’t consider this the case their own score system is broken. Look at the average user review score = 3/5. Which equates to 60% which equates to fresh by their own rules. Hmmmm.
Meanwhile a site like IMDB which has no media value or current fashionable brand recognition has a pretty reasonable score above 70% after all the fuss died down. And this is even with the 1/10 member reviews that are at the bottom of the page being upvoted. Meanwhile home video sales on the likes of Amazon are selling out quickly. Maybe it’s supply and demand you say. But maybe this “polarizing” movie is no such thing and there’s just a vocal minority. You decide.

There’s nothing in that definition that hints at it being a slur of any kind.
It does however give several examples that suggest the word is generally used in the context of a topic a majority thinks is bad. PT apologists makes sense, TLJ doesn’t.
It’s like a novel sigh of relief.
Anthony Daniels died in Spring 1978 and has been replaced by a Lucasfilm plant ever since.
Another week to go, I’ve tried to keep away from all the small clips of it that are online lately.
The Falcon is probably the one thing you can measure stuff against like the Star Destroyer’s main tower, the height of the Death Star’s docking bay area on the equator (and by extension the whole thing). Other stuff doesn’t really get shown at a close enough distance to judge.
Good actors becoming mediocre (and mediocre actors becoming bad) is probably due to the direction they’re getting, but sure that’s also a factor.
Why did Obi-Wan lie about not knowing R2? I know that it’s because the prequels were written after the OT and it was a mistake, but what’s the canon justification? I’m just curious.
He actually never says he doesn’t know R2.
He also never gives any indication of knowing him, or C-3PO. I would be bothered by that if I took the prequels seriously.
I mean I don’t deny that, it’s just weird to frame the question as why does “Obi-wan lie about not knowing R2?” when it really should be “why doesn’t Obi-wan seemingly make any recognition of R2?”
The only way to make sense of it all, is to just assume that Obi-Wan doesn’t give sh!t about droids. or is senile.
Someone involved in the PT was senile.
Not bad but I still associate that font they picked for TFA with Evil Dead II.
It’s the perspective or something where they painted over the original photo

The sea being a different colour on the right is bugging me.
I was glad to see your comments of 4K not looking like film. I agree. Many films or TV programs I’ve seen in 4K have the soap opera look to it…kinds like 60 fps with LOTR did for me.
Ugh I forgot all about those Hobbit movies and that HFR gimmick. Is that idea dead? I hope so…
Who is “they”?
Y’know “them”.

They also said the Porgs were the worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars. Not sure you can take anything from them seriously.

“Sources” claim that Colin Trevorrow was ousted for trying to give certain parts of the fanbase what they really wanted. Not because the producers didn’t like his big shot attitude or that they saw Book of Henry.
12 days until blu ray!
We’ve got to wait until the 9th April here in the UK . Not happy 😦
Crap I keep forgetting it’s not this month here.
A new script is the only thing that would solve anything though.
I went for the 3D version just for the cover art since it was the best version of the red/white poster composite.
The deleted scenes have started showing up online on places like twitter. The Ach-to party should have been left in the final cut.
Oh gawd the stun baton prop 😄
Leia: *uses the Force in space, where there would be no strong gravity or resistance, to pull slightly so she could float back on board*
people: omg Leia can FLY now the Force can’t make people FLY what is this RUINED FOREVER.
To be fair what makes me go “eh?” is that I’m 100% sure she died and came back to life, therefore BS.
100%!
For a second I left this page on the screen and forgot which thread it was. Then I realised it was somehow not the other worst thread.
I have no idea who this thread is even about, but from what I’ve seen of Rebels the answer is no.
A wizard did it.
