Yeah that fortnite thing is not the secret key to the film it's just the sith eternal's social media guru telling sheev to say some spooky stuff on a website the kids are really into these days

Darth Sidious @Chancellor Sheve Palpatine Lyin’ Leia Organa continues to deny military activity by Republic proxies in sovereign FO systems despite ample evidence to the contrary. Very sad! Not surprising coming from the daughter of a NOTORIOUS MURDERER!

General Dog posted:Rise of Skywalker was made by one writing team and one director who seemingly had the leeway to make the movie they wanted I don't believe this for a second. They already gave a guy leeway to make the movie he wanted and it made people yell at them, no way they were doing it twice

General Dog posted:I thought we were talking about him being coded as a teenager in the TLJ flashback, not in all of the movies. In the present movies I think he’s just a manchild. Did they not use the deaging CGI on Driver for that TLJ flashback? Between the darkness of the scene and the fact that we only really get glimpses of Kylo's face it seems like they were banking on people being more focused on Luke.

If they did I think it was pretty subtle. I think just in terms of how he looks the scene is fine. I prefer making the leap that he’s supposed to be 15 or whatever over them doing something more distracting like creepy CGI or casting a younger look-alike for the one scene.

Media has a long tradition of pretending 20-30 year olds are teenagers. Kylo Ren is just part of a storied heritage like Dawson's Creek and Power Rangers.

There was nothing that could be done by the editing team to salvage ROS. The only way it would have been a decent conclusion to the trilogy is to not retread on old ground. Bringing the emperor back was just insulting to the fan base. They knew it too because they didn't even bother to try to justify his presence. "Yea, gently caress it, maybe he's cloned? either this is a clone, or maybe the original one thirty years ago was a clone? maybe he lived through the explosion and vacuum of space... we don't really give a gently caress... here, eat your star wars you loving pricks" *plunges spoonfull of nostalgia into your already full mouth until you gag / vomit*

Yeah I don’t think anybody is saying the movie was ruined in the edit, just that the edit doesn’t do an already weak story any favors.

We should be very clear exactly what’s going on: -The school is, more specifically, a paramilitary compound/training camp. -College-age Ben Solo is flirting with leftist thought, so his instructor/handler (Luke) enacts a plan to quietly murder him. -Ben escapes the assassination attempt, and convinces half the trainees to leave with him. -The other half of the trainees now draw arms against these rebellious leftists, and a fierce battle ensues. -Ben and the guys handily defeat their enemies, but Ben is left psychologically scarred by the experience. Abandoning his old identity, he becomes Kylo Ren - a Space-Soviet space crusader. -

He's in the movie because he won a soccer bet with JJ Abrams. His character is apparently a historian who helped Rey translate the ancient Jedi books and is an expert in occult languages. In one scene, he translates a transmission being sent in the Sith language. Nobody thought to ask him about the dagger.

I find it kind of endearing that JJ Abrams seems to keep making friends with people he works with and finding excuses to get them bit parts in his next project

They got so much mileage out of Luke's award ceremony jacket. There was some nerd blog detailing how they skirted the line at galaxy's edge with a non-costume costume and it basically looked like that But good for Ahmed for being able to show his face in more ways than one. Get some disney money dude

I just spent 10 minutes trying to find out who designed it in real life but I'm bogged down in sites explaining your bullet points I would think McQuarrie but I can't remember any in his work, so maybe Johnston or one of those other guys? At any rate I don't remember any in the first film except on the helmets, maybe shoulders Just annoyed that you cant find who made an iconic film design even the official site refers you to a dennys placement

Maybe it's just the Star Wars equivalent of that weird S symbol kids scrawl on their books in school all the time or they co-opted a brand logo. The Rebellion, brought to you by Space Pepsi.

I think he can be forgiven somewhat for drawing like rear end. The drawings aren't even that bad. The grasp of anatomy is mostly fine although clearly stylized, the detail on the clothing (which is the most important thing here for the purpose) is good even, the coloring is obviously super rushed colored pencil or whatever but when texture is important it gets that across. Like these aren't the highly polished and detailed McQuarrie paintings that were also used to help pitch the movie, they're just quick sketches to help plan the costumes.
