Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi SPOILER DISCUSSION THREAD

I've watched it in Spanish and Russian.

Today it looks like I'll watch it in English. I'm presuming the dialogue can't be as bad as the PT.

It's the end of the middle of the current trilogy.

I assume ep9 is still Rey and Kylo? I am really confused.

Do yourselves a favor. Watch the OT this weekend to clear your head, get that rancid taste out of you mouth, and remind yourself who the Hell Luke Skywalker actually is...

Strange that I dont hate TLJ, i just cant feel anything, zero emotion. To me TLJ just a bad wriiten normal movie, and not Star Wars.

At least TFA got me so angy due to MareySue, but it did have some Star Wars vibe and some memory..and I still care.

But after this it just ...empty, no angy...well it means that im finally done with this Sequel.

I didn't mind the astral projection as an idea for how an aged Jedi would "fight". Makes more sense actually. But its convenient that the very time this new Jedi trick is used, that suddenly Kylo puts aside the traditional close-quarter saber fight style and suddenly uses a long-range charge-and-attack style so that Luke could use his Matrix moves without engaging. It's a "laser sword" jousting style I've never seen before but happens right when one opponent is a mirage. Convenient.

Luke should have told Yoda to zap Kylo, like he did when he destroyed the Jedi tree, history books and SNIKT's dreams.

Yoda: Burn it down, we should.

 

[GasparZizou]

So, the rebellion begins AGAIN! huh? Oh boy!

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Yoda: Burn it down, we should.

Yoda's new theme.

 

[Darth Skywalker]

How did any halfway competent human being approve this movie as the follow-up to the $2 Billion+ crowd-pleasing hit that was the Force Awakens?

UNBELIEVABLE

Yoda's new theme.

WTF. If Hot Toys made a figure with a neck like that I'd be facepalming...wait they have..

Gees this thread has gone full ******. I take solace in knowing that by making this thread, I've reduced the contamination of the other TLJ figure threads by 95%. At least people have a place to vent and curse the world..

thanks for proving my point.

I honestly think some of you are too old and jaded for SW, as this movie states “you have no spark.” You seem to forget you were on your mommas *** when you first experienced the universe. the last thing on your mind was plot, it was good v evil and explosions. SW has never been this god franchise invulnerable from problems, not even empire. the important part about SW is it’s themes not its plot. In fact, star wars is most remembered by its inconsistencies. that’s what keeps people talking and excited for a new chapter.

SW is remembered most by its inconsistencies?? Yeah that's it. It has lasted 40 + years because of its inconsistencies. Perhaps I am just not understanding your point you are trying to make here..

As for the OT. Actually when I was 6 years old I did not like ANH.. I found it boring I did fall in love with Empire when I was 9 years old.. I realized how great ANH was when I was 13 when it appeared on HBO.. So that has nothing to do with my mom's ****...

SW and Empire had good stories and good characters that developed in a meaningful way.. These films fail in comparison.. However you will notice this is the first time I am comparing them... I have been discussing these films on their own merits. You are the one that keeps bringing them up.

These aren’t oscar award winning films, and never will be. they aren’t designed to be. Going in with “if this isn’t as good as empire then it’s trash.” and the movie not meeting those expectations isn’t it’s fault. it’s yours.

ANH was nominated for best picture and should have won.. Annie Hall?? Really?

"The original 1977 Star Wars racked up 11 Oscar nominations including best picture, best supporting actor for Alec Guinness (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and best director for George Lucas. It won seven awards, including best original score for Williams"

Everything else you are saying has nothing to do with me.. I just want a solid film.. I did not get a fully solid film but I did enjoy parts of it..

Guess I should just say.. Meh.. Luke in film.. Luke has force powers.. Meh.. Rey has force.. Movie great

The Last Jedi: 7/10
Boring 1st half, great 2nd half

 

[Darth Skywalker]

Difabio I agree with every word you said!!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

The hammer is here.

Again for me personally it goes back to the fact that 80% of the plot of this film was uneventful.

I did not hate it but the more I think about it the more I marvel at the fact that this film could have been completed in about an hour and 20 min instead of the 2 hours and 30min it took to really go nowhere.

Absolutely. It was drug out so badly that it makes the parts that are unnecessary worse because they become excruciating. Made me hate Finn more than I already did. They can go on a tangent about animal cruelty and how these rich dudes suck for a half hour but we cannot get any explanation (even just a line or two) of Snokes place in all this.

Some of it is just head scratching and I have loved everything Rian Johnson has done to date. I was so excited he was doing a Star Wars movie. I actually thought in my head “we might get the film that rivals Empire or ANH for best SW film” But alas we got something that in my opinion has some great elements but is so uneven that the bad takes away from the good even more than in previous films. Because at least the Ewoks were there for a little scene then it would cut back to awesome stuff. We didn’t get Wicket and Paploo needing to go on an adventure for a half hour in the middle of the movie to make a stick that could pick the lock to the door of the bunker.

The backlash is going to be so big I bet Rian gets fired from the new trilogy. It’s that bad! It’s prequel bad if not worse.

 

[matticus]

DiFabio, I reacted the same way. I am insulted to be a Star Wars fan right now. Insulted that they actually showed us this abomination of a so called film. I kept looking around like is anyone really enjoying this ****?

 

[GasparZizou]

Even now I have random shots of a First Order iron and ironing board burning in my brain.

I ****ing loved that, it's the only time the movie got any reaction out of me, I was like "Is that an iron? Yeah it's a ****ing iron

The backlash is going to be so big I bet Rian gets fired from the new trilogy. It’s that bad! It’s prequel bad if not worse.

The prequels are much less boring.
