But his original vision! All mapped out in 1973!
Wasn’t he quoted as liking TLJ though?
he did, which is why it hasn’t picked up in the ‘news’.
I liked the Leia scene and I read it as intended: Leia instinctually acted to save her life with the latent powers we know her to have. Maybe the moment was too contrived or the execution a little funny, but it worked for me.
Wouldn’t Plo koon be able to do that when he got shot down or would the explosion of killed him?
Every situation is different. Leia avoided pretty much all harm except exposure to space.
I just rewatched that part and it looked like he died a pretty horrible death (burning, exploding and smashing into the building)
Pfft, what a bad Jedi.
Yes. But especially Kolar, Tiin, and Kit Fisto.
“Let’s all bunch up in the doorway so we can’t maneuver well. Use nice long pauses before attempting to block, and pay no attention to whether he telegraphs his mevements.”
I just laugh at that scene even though it’s not meant be funny, their Jedi masters!!
Mevements? whare are those? oh, are the Mevements their Jedi masters?
Monsters (2010)
Oh my god… I loved this.
Highly recommended to everybody everywhere.
Yes, a very enjoyable movie.
Did you watch the extra features? very interesting how Gareth made this with such a small team / limited time.
well, it was made ‘canon’ so to speak, so Darth Maul showed up in several shows. or at least two?
JEDIT: and i think it was silly to bring him Back.
I would like a new avatar. Use my current Brendon Small (Home Movies) Character, but incorporate The Last Jedi. I was thinking something from Crait, but i am open to whatever.
Rian Johnson on Leia in space…
Rian Johnson, the film’s writer and director, said that the idea came from LucasFilm boss Kathleen Kennedy, who remembered Luke telling Leia in Return Of The Jedi about her own Force abilities.
“She kept asking, ‘Leia’s a Skywalker, Luke gave her this speech in Jedi and told her basically, ‘You have this potential, too.’,” he told Entertainment Weekly.
“It seemed to me it would be a really emotionally impactful thing to see her use it.”
He added: “I liked the idea it would be an instinctual thing. This would be more like stories you hear about parents of toddlers who get caught under cars and they get Hulk strength and lift the car up. It would be something in these final moments to show that she’s not done with the fight. And like a drowning person pulling herself back, that’s how it manifests itself for the first time in her.”
Interesting. So that answers one of my questions “Is this her first time doing something like this or not?”. I still wish this was explored more in the film, but I suppose what we got will suffice.
^ LOL
Interestingly, people have been talking at length about what Mark Hamill thinks of TLJ, but no one mentions George Lucas. When TFA came out, people were all about discussing what George’s opinion of TFA was, but with this film it seems he’s almost no longer relevant.
I’m glad, mind you, because of how badly George has been responding to desire for the OUT and dissent of the PT. He should be non-relevant. But I’m just somewhat surprised that his opinion is not even a topic for discussion.
i think its pretty simple, people pick the narrative that fits with their point of view.
I caught it in IMAX and there are some shots that are absolutely gorgeous to me like Paige’s death on the bomber and seeing Phasma’s eye out of the cracked helmet.
I think IMAX will be my next (4th) go round.
I don’t know if I ever posted this, but number 3 for me was in Dolby Atmos, which I highly recommend.
Stalker!
ok, so my 2nd viewing was RPX/Dolby Atmos, not my third, but 4th was IMAX.
Ok, I’ll start with the original. Thanks guys.
The only reason I even considered R1 is because I think that R1 nowadays is an easier movie to watch than the original, especially in this case with a girl as protagonist (since I’d be showing it to my girlfriend; and more girls in general in the movie). However, I have noted in previous viewings that it doesn’t have “introductory qualities” like the original has, so it doesn’t function as well as the introduction to the SW saga to someone new. Plus it’s so different from all the others that the first time viewer might find some recurring things in the rest of the saga odd.
Again, thanks guys.
Would YOU watch R1 before ANH ?
I would in a R1 and ANH only double feature. But if doing a trilogy viewing, (or especially if introducing someone to the films), i would use release order.
What the heck is a binary load lifter?
It’s very similar to a moister vaporator.
No. A binary loadlifter is a droid, used to lift heavy loads, that makes use of a binary programming language similar to that used in moister vaporators.
No, it was a pretty good joke, and you tried to use facts on it.
I caught it in IMAX and there are some shots that are absolutely gorgeous to me like Paige’s death on the bomber and seeing Phasma’s eye out of the cracked helmet.
yes, there are so many beautiful shots, and IMAX gives the picture room to ‘be’. The bomber scene was absolutely beautiful for sure.
Just because a group has been dicking around for 1,000 generations doesn’t mean their view is the be all end all.
Yes, but that entire presumption is arrogance IMO. We’re speaking about a group who have maintained peace and justice for a 1,000 generations. If that’s dicking around, I think I have to come out of the closet.
"The Force is what gives the Jedi its power."
not “The Force is the Jedi’s power.”As stated by one of those dicks.
Always missing the nuance. Just because the Jedi are good doesn’t mean the Jedi are always right. Just because the Jedi aren’t always right doesn’t mean the Jedi are always wrong.
When Luke says that saying the light belongs to the Jedi is vanity, he’s basically right, but he’s definitely up his own ass about it, butting in with his ideology when Rey is just trying to feel the force. It is a little arrogant of him, and it’s supposed to feel that way.
We shouldn’t blindly accept that the Jedi can do no wrong just because they’ve been around for 1,000 generations (especially when the PT shows they almost caused their own extinction). But just because we should have a critical eye with the Jedi doesn’t mean we should dismiss them outright, and the movie doesn’t do that.
“I will not be the last Jedi.” Don’t forget.
The force does not belong to the Jedi. It never has. The light does not belong to the Jedi, is never has and it never should. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t believe that the Jedi won’t fight for the light as long as they can.
I missed the nuance, because there was none in your OP, my friend. “1,000 generations of dicking around” is not a nuanced statement. Nuanced posts invite nuanced answers. Posts filled with hyperboles don’t.
Dicking around does not mean being dicks. At least I don’t use it that way. (to me it’s basically a synonym for “hanging,” surely I’m not the only one who uses it that way?) It wasn’t meant to be a hyperbolic statement.
Just to prove I’m not crazy…

Don’t be a hang, Dom.
Dre, did you ever get back to see a second showing of TLJ? (I skipped like 15 - 20 pages of this topic so i missed if that ever happened). I am just curious what your experience was like compared to the first viewing.
Yeah, I liked it better the second time. I could enjoy it more on it’s own terms. I’m a bit in two minds about it. I think I will allways prefer the story of the classic characters to end with ROTJ, having ushered in a long period of peace, and justice in the galaxy, but I can enjoy the less fairy tale like approach of the ST, even if I feel it doesn’t really tell a new story with the reprise of the Empire versus rebels scenario. I think it is time for an entirely new story set in a different era.
I think that is a fairly decent take on it. It is probably safe to assume that most people will watch the OT trilogy together, and then the ST trilogy together, so i think we can keep your two minds happy 😃
H, and it didn’t end well.
Heroin never ends well. Get help buddy. I care.
Lol.
damn, I always seem to miss a few auto-corrects even after triple checking my posts, when posting from my phone. That was SUPPOSED to be ‘Oh’, not ‘H’. Don’t do drugs kids.

I think I had a dream once, and I got in a shouting match with all the moderators or with jay, I don’t know.
H, and it didn’t end well.
Of course, one could reasonably believe that Trump is threatening them every time he says anything about them.
Did you just put reasonably and Trump in the same sentence?
Lots of people saying Twitter should suspend Trump over this.
I’m not so convinced.
Do we need to convince you before we can suspend Trump?
What the heck is a binary load lifter?
The load is either lifted or it isn’t.
Beats the heck out of the quantum load lifter.

Holy nut.
9.5/10 on first view. needs more viewings
4 viewings, this rating stands. (Ok, maybe just 9.25/10)
Now this is good 😉
Nice, thanks for the share.
