Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi SPOILER DISCUSSION THREAD

No trailer with this film and not one journalist asked Kathleen Kennedy about it through junkets. Bet it gets delayed to next Xmas.

I was so sure there was going to be a Han Solo trailer with this movie, that really surprised me. It isn't that far from release.
 
The level of disgust this film is receiving goes to show how much hope people still wanted to have. For me, TFA had already ****ed things up so I felt like this didn't really matter. I had already relegated it to elseworlds Star Wars. As such I enjoyed it on that level. Maybe it's difficult for people to do that when it's got Luke and Leia in it...but much like how Disney wrote off the old EU - you have that power too. If you wish upon a star anyone can write off anything they want and have their own canon....

That kid with the broom made me wanna scream. WTF were they thinking????????
 
Just some rando pointing out flaws in your logic so it's immediately discredited? Nice. Well that's one way to avoid acknowledging criticisms I guess. You don't know me so it's not worth your time. Brilliant.

Since it's pointless to attempt having a debate around here and the thread's sole purpose is to have a pitty party about how Star Wars is dead, there is no point in responding to your posts. I'll leave you to it then. Enjoy.

CS is weird there is actually a significant difference from B to A and even A to A+!

In other words B is considered bad if i’m not mistaken!

My school grades were PT bad then lol

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi SPOILER DISCUSSION THREAD

Speaking for myself, I'm not concerned with Luke being portrayed as weak nor do I expect the new films to resonate with me the way that the OT did. My reason for hating The Last Jedi is that it was simply not a very good movie. I realize that Game of Thrones is popular, but having several scattershot subplots interwoven throughout a 2.5 hour long movie doesn't make for compelling fiction, even when riding the coat tails of a popular intellectual property. The dialogue was horrendous, and filled with exposition. The plot was unimaginative and anti-climactic. The character design and CGI was underwhelming; Yoda actually looked like a deflated chew toy. The movie was boring, and it failed to achieve pathos.

Worst of all, many of the ideas driving the plot were, frankly, dumb. The worst example: At the end of the movie, why would Luke refrain from telling the rebels to run for their lives, while his Force Ghost PRETENDED to fight against Kylo Ren and the First Order? Luke assumed they'd figure it out for themselves? Seems irrational. You'd think giving them a head start would be constructive.

Edit: I changed my mind. The worst idea was having Yoda's Force Ghost capable of affecting the tangible world. This undermines the logic of the ENTIRE Star Wars franchise.

That was a terrible idea. I was just shaking my head.

Happens all the time, but usually with quieter indie movies that critics like and viewers find boring. Usually doesn't happen with blockbusters as critics are usually more likely to be down on those. Prequel ratings are much closer in line.

I'm really worried about Han Solo. I never liked the idea of a movie for him in the first place. Then they choose the wrong actor. Then the directors get fired. Then TLJ comes out ... I swear if they destroy our Han we riot.

They already killed him. Nothing much worse they can do at this point. At least because of TLJ we are prepared for the worst.
 
The kid with the broom was ok. I like that nice force ability detail and what it suppose to promise for the future.

It was random and had nothing to do with anything. It was Disney's message that everyone has the Force -- all you boys and girls. It's the villain's plot from The Incredibles: make everyone special... so that no one really is.

Jye, you really need to see this a 2nd time already so you can join our side. Zach is lost as always but you, you can be saved. Even Evilface hated this, and he likes Krull.

Oh wait -- you turned on Fury Road. Nevermind.
 
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi SPOILER DISCUSSION THREAD

Even Mark Kermode liked it. He was gushing about it, then at the end of the review admitted that he only started getting into Star Wars with TFA. That could be key, but doesn't explain how he overlooked the acting.

TLJ to ESB is what Fury Road is to Road Warrior.

There now welcome me onboard. :yess:

I don't think one kid using the Force means all kids use the Force any more than 1 person hating the film means all people hate the film. :lol
And neither Disney the man nor the company wrote the movie. But yes, hyperbole is fun.
 
Saw this yesterday and I can see what Johnson was going for with this. Luke was so far gone he didnt want anything to do with the Jedi because the temptation of the dark side was great. Seeing the horror that Vader inflicted on the galaxy he fears that Ben Solo would do the same when he felt the evil in him. So when Ben turned he ran away giving up all of his old beliefs like his fathers light saber. These Star Wars trilogies are the story of the Skywalkers. Anakin in the prequels, Luke in the OT and Ben Solo in the current one. I have a feeling that episode 9 may start with the death of Leia setting up Ben Solo as the last Skywalker. With his death Rey will emerge as the new Jedi.
I can understand the anger of die hard fans. When he tossed the lightsaber over his shoulder I was like WTF! There were so many missed opportunities for some cool scenes. Finns little adventure was worthless. I think he would have better been used to go get help instead of trying to get someone to sneak them inside the enemy ship. That was so stupid. Leia defying all laws and surviving in space was pure crock too. I could see her using the force to take on some troopers that had landed on the ship but what she did was totally impossible. But I think the worst part of it all was that they killed off Admiral Akbar! I loved that squid head!
