Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (12/16/16) *SPOILERS*

[a-dev]

He is too old. Yes. Too old to begin the indoctrination.

 

[Khev]

A long time have I read kara's posts. Always his mind on what movies will be relevant in 10 years. Never his mind on what's in theaters. Hmm. What he was watching. Hmm. Relevancy, heh. Lack of disposability, heh. A Star Wars fan craves not such things.

 

[DiFabio]

Was I any different when the 80's taught me?

Yes Jye Kenobi, much different.


- 3 Superman movies separated by three whole years
- 2 Star Wars movies separated by three whole years
- 2 Swamp Thing movie separated by 7 years
- 1 Howard the Duck movie
- 1 Masters of the universe movie
- 1 Punisher movie
- 1 Supergirl movie
- 1 Batman movie



Now compare that decade to 2007-2017.

- 6 X-Men movies
- 6 Iron Man movies
- 5 Transformers movies
- 4 Batman movies
- 4 Spider-Man movies (played by three different actors)
- 4 Harry Potter movies
- 3 Star Wars movies (just in the past three years!)
- 3 Avengers movies
- 3 Thors
- 3 Captain America movies
- 3 Hobbit movies
- 2 Superman movies
- 2 Fantasic 4 movies
- 2 Guardians of the Galaxy
- 2 Ghost Rider movies
- Ant-Man
- Deadpool
- Dr. Strange


I'm sure I'm missing some.





The only thing the 80s beat compared to now is the amount of 007 Bond movies and obviously Indiana Jones.

As far as I'm concerned it's:

80's:

ESB/ROTJ

Last 10 years:

Cap trilogy
RO

Everything else from both of your lists can be ignored.

Ah, so Khev finally abandoned the Force Awakens. About time! He must sense Hayden's arrival in Episode 8 . . .

 

[jye4ever]

Wait there was a second Swamp Thing movie.

Why didn't anyone tell me.....DiFabio gun.

 

[Khev]

Hayden Christensen, Gay Luke, I'm cuttin' and runnin' baby!

And RoboCop should be on the 80's list. Best superhero movie ever.

Thought about it but it just cancels itself out with Robocop 2014 on the list.

I was about to say, do we really need anymore SW in our lives after that RO Vader scene and updated cgi rebel space and ground assault with walkers and OT characters.

We can live without more Rey, right. We're good, our SW needs are now complete, no?

But then I remembered that Luke still has his RO Vader moment coming!

Yup, after that we're good I think Khev, what say you.

 

[DiFabio]

Why did he feel sad after killing a bunch of Jedi brats and guys in Alien suits?

 

[DiFabio]

But then I remembered that Luke still has his RO Vader moment coming!

Already happened.

 

[TonTon]

Vader's RO scene was taking out a bunch of useless grunts, so with that in mind I would say the skiff scene is Luke's RO moment. Like his badass force kick.

And Boba flailing about in the background was his Rogue One moment.

 

[jye4ever]

Christopher Nolan's father must've been 2nd unit director that day.

I love everything that's going on in that gif.

You know that if Rian Johnson makes Luke look awesome I'll be right there with you crapping myself with my mouth wide open but I agree with TonTon and DiFabio. Luke had his RO Vader moment at the Sarlacc Pit and in the final moments against Vader. Plus his trench run and taking down an AT-AT with nothing but a lightsaber and a hand grenade.

And as awesome as Vader was in RO I was actually braced for him to suck. I was dreading another "spinning Palpatine" moment and even though that didn't happen I'm still a little apprehensive that they might go too far with Luke and do something equally stupid. LFL's on a roll though and maybe I should just trust that they won't go down that road. But still...
