Who came out with the claim that she was harassed? I can’t find her statement on it anywhere, only articles based on speculations. But if it’s true, I fully agree - I think TLJ is the worst Star Wars movie (yes, I think the prequels are better), but I would NEVER EVER go and attack (physically or verbally) anybody involved with the production, that’s just really, really dumb. What happened to the good old “vote with your wallet” thing? AKA “if you don’t like it, don’t buy it”? That’s the only reasonable approach in my not so humble opinion, going after somebody makes you look like a lunatic

A few questions after I could think about the movie for a few hours

  • why are all white men in this movie crazy or evil or crazy AND evil?
  • why are crazy women in charge of the military? Don’t they have somebody like Mon Mothma? If they want to have a female military leader, why not somebody who knows what she’s doing?
  • where are all the attractive women?
  • why are capitalists portrayed as the true criminals?
  • why did they suggest that Rey’s parents were important in the last movie but made to be some random nobodies in this one?
  • who are the First Order? What power do they have? How did they get the power? Who is financing them? I asked the same question 2 years ago, I still don’t understand who’s who
  • who was Snoke? How did he get to power? Why did he have force powers? How did he know all about the Jedi, the Sith and the Skywalkers?
  • why was that dumb Asian woman or girl (can’t really tell her age, I thought it’s a little boy until she started speaking) in the movie? Why was she so stupid? Was she supposed to be a comic relief character? Why did she prohibit Finn from having a heroic death? Were they supposed to have a romantic relationship? Why didn’t they show it?
  • why did Finn and that dumb Asian woman go on a 30 minutes long side mission which lead nowhere and was a complete waste of time?
  • why did Finn fight that glossy armor woman? Was it the same glossy armor woman as in the previous movie? What was the point of this and basically 99% of Finn’s scenes?
  • Why is Leia now Superman?
  • Why didn’t Luke go personally to confront Darth Vader Junior?
  • Why did Luke die? Especially in such a stupid and confusing way?
  • Why was Yoda in this movie? Why is he acting as his stupid self from the beginning of Empire, where he PRETENDED he is stupid to test Luke? Why does he have the power to call lighting? Why did he prevent Luke from burning down the thing by burning down the thing himself?

Seriously, the whole movie was a giant WTF. Everything felt so forced and pointless. At least it looked beautiful.

the ‘dumb Asian woman’ whom you refer to has had enough of stuff like that I suppose?

Am I the only one who likes luke throwing the saber?, Oh well…

I liked it too - something unexpected and different right off the bat, a change in the direction expected from the emotional last scene of TFA - and all the time we had between the two films to ponder what may happen next…

Luke throwing the saber away was a fairly radical idea in itself 😉

It’s over Obi-wan, I have the Soccer ground!

On Hayden’s profile pic for the Soccer Aid it also has his weakness down as ‘tendency to choke😉
 

Fair play to him for doing it - not easy playing alongside some world-class talented legends of the game - and fellow celebrities, many who’ve also played to a decent level. He gave up a week to do it (training and bonding together etc) and did a good job for his team, and was decent himself.

 

A tenuous Solo link…

Wood Harrelson scored the winning penalty in a previous Soccer Aid game - I don’t think he was quite sure what he was doing - or meant to be doing - but looks like he had a lot of fun doing it:-

Well in Hayden Christensen - part of the Rest Of The World soccer team who played an England XI tonight as part of Soccer Aid - and helped to raise around £5.5m / $7.4m (as of full-time) for UNICEF.

Racism is bad, mmmkay?

J0E - are you the lad that used a character’s ethnicity and size to try and denigrate them in one of the TLJ threads last year? And referred to another character as being a lesbian as you couldn’t be bothered to learn her name too? As the film didn’t make you care enough to learn them? - Though seemingly did make you care enough for you to criticize the characters in such a derogatory manner?

If so, I’m glad you’ve learnt that racism is bad. Good for you.

Rogue One:The Battle Of Scarif dvd/blu ray cover art
Time

I’m not sure if there is a cover for it, though the Edit does have it’s own thread here:-

https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Rogue-One-The-Battle-of-Scarif-Fanedit/id/54567/page/1

 

It may also be worth PM’ing eldusto84 to see if there is a cover - or at his site, here:-

http://www.maple-films.com/rogue-one-fanedit

 

There are some generic Rogue One covers (and art) in here:-

https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Rogue-One-A-Star-Wars-Story-film-and-fan-art-covers-etc/id/50710

^ maybe some that take your eye could be adapted as a cover for eldusto’s quality R1 Edit?
 

Good luck with it mate 😃
