Decius posted:I still hope she's Leia's kid. Regardless, the Skywalkers clearly have a generational problem with absent parents. At least Anakin had the excuse of being a virginal birth with Force daddy not existing. Palpatine is Anakin's father by way of the Force. Listen to what he says during the concert scene in Revenge of the Sith, they way he treats him, and how the Windu-Sidious fight paralels with Sidious-Luke.

This was originally going to be outright spelled out in Episode III but even Lucas realized that was loving stupid and just limited it to the vague poo poo Palpatine says at the space ballet.

After the clusterfuck that was the prequels I think taking the safe path for Episode 7 was the right call. Hopefully whoever directs Episode 8 will then pull an Empire Strikes Back and do something more complex. Do we know who that will be yet?

Ugh, I know RLM went into this in depth but I still can't get over how stupid an idea it was to make Anakin space Jesus. FFS he was a million times better and more interesting as space Rinehard Heydrich.

Kirk just happens to land right where Old Spock and Scotty are. The Millennium Falcon just happens to come out of hyperspace right where Han Solo and Chewbacca are. If Kylo Ren is randomly hit by a truck mid-final fight we'll have Peak JJ.

To be honest I don't mind the coincidences in JJ Trek because it implies there's some kind of fate holding spacetime together trying to keep things as close to how they were as possible. It makes Into Darkness's ripoff/homage to Wrath of Khan's ending much more tolerable.

Kanji Club? Kanji Club!? That is either the best or worst name for a group of interplanetary raiders. Shimrra Jamaane posted:Yeah looking at it even further the design on the right kind of sucks. Its just a cartoon character, just an exaggeration of some old wrinkly old man with a soggy left eye. The one on the left is legit unsettling and enticing. It's really loving cool. The one on the left is just burned. It's a pretty hosed up burn, but it doesn't combine that superficial disgust with the horror of entropy and age like the other one does.

The funny thing is, the badness of the prequels is so evergreen and manifold and loving weird. I almost suspect that after the prequels something that's just safe and generic and forgettable has the potential to let people down to an insane degree in a completely different way.

I think people here already caught onto that, but when I start detailing it to friends (Kylo = Vader, Snoke = Emperor, Phasma = Boba, Hux = Tarkin, Starkiller = Deathstar, Jakku = Totally not Tatooine) they get all sad and discouraged but: Shimrra Jamaane posted:After the clusterfuck that was the prequels I think taking the safe path for Episode 7 was the right call. Hopefully whoever directs Episode 8 will then pull an Empire Strikes Back and do something more complex. Do we know who that will be yet? People are getting the exact movies that they wanted after the backlash for the prequels. Which is why Lucas said: “I think the fans are going to love it, It’s very much the kind of movie they’ve been looking for.” I am totally fine with everything that I have seen so far, and the big chance that the movie is gonna beat by beat be a remake of IV with all the OT elements thrown in the mix. It's gonna be a Star Wars movie, and it will be funny to see if the fans react negatively to the fact that the filmmakers took the safest route to ensure that they will get a new generation of fans and placate the older ones.

Rian Johnson, who wrote and directed Brick, Looper, and three episodes of Breaking Bad, including Ozymandias. It'll be rad.

But the envoy is captured by a villain in a black mask that hides his scarred face, and tortured for information. However, the envoy managed to hide a sought-after item inside a cute non-humanoid robot that communicates solely in electronic sounds, which is tasked with completing the mission.
