Humans did it. Humans did it all.

And one computer.

Adding more Porgs will be the most popular fan-edit request/idea once the Last Jedi is released.

Bet.

Porgs are currently my favorite part of TLJ.

Embrace the aPorgalypse.

Thanks!

Since changing our hero’s decisions is beyond the scope of the edit (and everyone seems to like it), I cordially retract my previous suggestions 😃

Since we remain locked into the Finalizer FX for V2, I’ve been thinking again about the general lack of panic at the castle (yeah, it’s still bothering me after 30 pages). But I think I may have a solution! Perhaps something for V3 anyway…

In the original, there’s very little exposition about Maz’s Castle. In fact, it’s not much different than the Cantina. However, from background sources we know that although Maz is a pirate there’s a strict no-violence policy, and from the film we know that it’s been there for 1000 years. From this information it makes sense that there’s at least an informal agreement among all factions of the galaxy that Maz’s castle is inviolate. It may even be a place of political asylum, more like Casablanca than the Cantina. The problem is that this isn’t communicated in the film.

There are a few shots in the deleted scenes of Finn talking to the aliens who would take him to the outer rim. Combining these with the section in the film, there may be enough to subtitle. Something like:

Finn: 'I heard you’re looking for some labor.'
Alien 1: 'Ah, running from trouble.'
Alien 2: 'Tell him.'
Finn: 'I was told you can get me to the outer rim.'
Alien 1: ‘Yes, but there’s no danger here.’

Or something more cryptic:

Finn: 'I heard you’re looking for some labor.'
Alien 1: 'If there’s anything you seek…'
Alien 2: '…So they say…'
Alien 1: '…Maz provides all you need.'
Finn: ‘I was told you can get me to the outer rim.’

Did Silverwook just post a spoiler for a movie with a soon-to-be released remake?

The first movie I remember seeing in the theater was Aladdin (1992). The next one I remember was Hocus Pocus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Z

I was referring to this, actually: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/10/us/politics/trump-nfl-jemele-hill.html

"WASHINGTON — President Trump threatened on Tuesday to use federal tax law to penalize the National Football League over players who kneel in protest during the national anthem, but the White House later backed off, saying he was only making a point.

Escalating a political fight that has resonated with his conservative base, Mr. Trump said Congress should eliminate a law that allowed the N.F.L. central office to avoid paying taxes as a nonprofit entity. “Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country?” he wrote on Twitter. “Change tax law!”"

I don’t think the issue is that a private company changed its rules, so much that the government threatened said private company because it wasn’t behaving patriotically.

I want to bring this up

Snoke looks like majorie Caton palpatine…right down to the skin color and eyes

Google didn’t help me in divining what you’re talking about.

That got weird.

At least Snoke looks a lot better this time around.

Although he mispronounced fulfill as ‘forfill’, it’s fine.

Also, Riventing avatar you’ve got there.

How do you feel about the saga continuing after RotJ?

Just realized that we’ve got B-wings up in this.

I as well also like it.

I was thinking of posting this very thing. Great analysis.

In the end, it didn’t matter that Luke was back. It made no difference who the characters were, the battles they fought, the victories they won. All that mattered were the Porgs. The Porgs saved Star Wars. The Porgs became Star Wars.

In 100 years, when children watch movies, they will be introduced to the movies that started it all, that gave birth to the Porg cinematic universe. Star Wars will live on.

I made a Porgins.

So, thoughts and speculation on the trailer:

I wonder how much of the movie is really being shown here. It feels like even the Rey/Snoke scene could be as early as halfway through the film, if Luke declines to train her and Kylo arrives on the island.

We see nothing of Canto Bight.

Chewie looks, if possible, even stranger than in TFA. This is the one thing that really bugs me about the whole trailer. I’m all about them Porgs however.

There appears to be a big attack on a Republic stronghold, perhaps quite early on. If this is where Kylo decides that he can’t destroy Leia, he would fall out of favor with Snoke and Rey would replace him. I doubt very much that she would, of course, so my guess is she accepts him as her teacher. Side note, it’s irritating that they have an ‘upgraded’ medical frigate. It was annoying that it was a standard ship of the line in ROTJ, and it’s stupid that it’s remained so 30 years later.

This has the sort of action I expect of a climactic final installment of a trilogy, so it may not be too much to expect that the Republic destroys much of the First Order, or vice versa (though I doubt that). It would be refreshing to have the war somewhat settled going into the final chapter, to focus on the characters, but perhaps that’s too much to hope for.

C-3PO, that classy trendsetter, got everyone in the galaxy to use red.

It really depends on the trailer.
Terminator Genisys trailer is spoilers.
TFA teaser is not.

Hopefully people exercise good judgement about the TLJ trailer.

Since I’ve already used footage from the teaser trailer for a TFA edit, I’m fairly resigned to devour anything TLJ related.

I predict that Donald Trump will be out of office sometime next year.

How seriously are you predicting this?

Not too seriously. There’s an optimistic side of me that thinks America won’t seriously stand for his reckless behavior, but there’s also a pessimistic side that says that he has a real chance at re-election. I’m still about 60% optimistic in our country though, despite it all.

I predict that Donald Trump will be out of office sometime next year.

Just watched this. Very good work throughout. There was one place that was jarring to me, however. It was the cut from the deleted scene of Harry and Hermione discussing how Draco looked ill, straight to Slughorn’s fake memory. It comes out of nowhere, and maybe it was similar in the original version, but I had to rewind and watch it again just to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.

But that’s really all that feels off.
