Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Dec 15th, 2017)

[crows]

No I simply destroyed the implication that poor BO in China = bad movie.

it is not about being a bad movie (which has been covered in here extensively)

it is about how Including rose Did NOTHING for their market. how the pandering didnt work. how their audiences were NOT stupid enough to watch this just because Kennedy added a weird awkward asian girl in the movie.
thats whats funny. thats really how pathetic this has become. the entire casino part was added for rose and finn to have something to do and not even this could make them care at all.

I hope Rose gets cut in half by accidentally turning on Rey's new double-bladed lightsaber in IX.

They didn't seem to care with Chirrut and Baze in Rogue One either.

Yeah, and these guys are pretty cool. So there was no way Rose was gonna do the trick.

The actress isn't even of Chinese decent, her parents are Vietnamese. That's Kathleen Kennedy's understanding of Asia for you.

Here's SW stuff more entertaining than TLJ to break the discussion up:

Yeah.. I know.. I just think that putting TLJ and BR 2049 together in any capacity is insulting to BR 2049

Haven’t seen BR 2049, was going to rent on demand, but is it good enough to buy straight up instead?

KK is now wearing Holdo’s halo during recent interviews

try to find it in a cheap theater. my local cheap theater is getting it soon

On the worldwide box office charts, TLJ has officially overtaken Transformers - Age of Extinction and could overtake Minions by next week (unadjusted for inflation though.)

Han mentions in A New Hope that “traveling through hyperspace ain’t like dusting crops, boy.”

The navigation systems map out a safe path for ships to travel the galaxy. It takes a dozen or so minutes to get to their destinations in the films, usually. They’re still physically passing through space. So, a ship hitting a baseball sized rock going lightspeed would obliterate the meteor and split the spacecraft into chunks.

What you’re thinking of is the Rosenberg Bridge theory, where space is folded onto itself and the object travels through a warp, or rift, of sorts.

What you're referring to is a Wormhole which folds space to connect two different places, Hyperspace in Science Fiction has been understood to be transitioning into another dimension of sorts where it takes less time to go from A to B. That said, Han mentioned in ANH that in Star Wars' version of Hyperspace you can go through objects without precise calculations so Holdo's maneuver doesn't really break cannon. It does cause a lot of problems with "why the hell didn't they use this before on the Death Stars, Starkiller, or Star Destroyers" plot holes. It would've been better to have Holdo just blow up her ship within proximity to the Supremacy like Murdomac mentioned.

It can be explained before TLJ that it wasn't possible to destroy the Deathstar and smaller ships by saying that the Stars and Supernovas that Han mentioned colliding into in ANH have a presence in Hyperspace because of their mass that the smaller things don't.

I think along the lines of Luke saying the Force doesn’t belong to anyone, this new trilogy is doing away Sith and Jedi names for good or bad and just saying the Force is a power in the universe that some are more in touch with and able to control than others and with that, there are those who use those gifts for good and for bad.

Rey isn’t a Jedi and Kylo isn’t a Sith.

If Disney gets rid of the Sith and Jedi side, how are all the little kids gonna know the good guys from the bad guys? I mean aren't these just little kids movies? Don't they need simple black and white explanations? How will they understand the depth that there is no line between good and bad, light and dark? Who will emerge as their new heroes??? Kylo? Rey?? It's all just so confusing. Is Disney's Star Wars deep and impactful, or simple and shiny for the kiddies?? I'm so confused!!

I DO think the major blockbusters have been adding Asians to the films to court that huge market. Dr Strange had the final fight in Chinatown apparently....and there are lots of examples from the last few years.

The thing is....from what I know...the Asian countries in general do not really like SW , like the Anglo Saxon counterparts.....

I think this has always been the case. So while I also think Disney is trying to capture that market , it’s not going to go they way they think it is.

They did a similar thing in th parks , giving deep discounts to South American countries , during slow times ....that worked very well.

Iron Man 3 added this hottie.

now, whats the difference from her and Rose?

 

[jye4ever]

Kennedy did screw up, Rose should’ve looked like a Panda.

Pfft easy 1 billion in China.

Yeah I don't like that. Well, can't say for sure that Jedi won't be around because Luke said the opposite to Kylo in TLJ, and also Rey has the books.
But I want Jedi and Sith. Thankfully, they will still be part of the Story movies as it seems all of these will be prequels in one way or another.

And it still keeps rolling on

That would’ve been very smart and saved canon, but RJ has crapped all over it by weaponizing hyperspace. JJ will have to completely ignore it in ep 9, no other way to fix it.
