Improviser posted:My biggest concern about this is watching a Star Wars movie without a John Williams score. That just seems wrong. Even with another composer incorporating William's themes into the score. well he's about 90 years old and not immortal (yet) so probably time to make peace with it

I don't think a Star Wars movie starring Donnie Yen, Forest Whitaker, and Mads Mikkelsen based on three lines of dialogue from the original film is particularly "low-risk", but what do I know?

CelticPredator posted:Empire Strikes Back was abosolutely made to make more money and toys. They just decided to add risky elements to it. And that's why it's good. Of course that was a part of it. If you don't make a profit you don't get to make more movies, and that wouldn't make any director happy. But I truly believe Lucas mostly just did what he would have done anyway, even if there was no money on the line. I think would be ludicrous to say the same thing for the Disney Corporation.

CelticPredator posted:Of course. It's Star Wars. Outside of the first one, they were all made with the intention to make bank. It even bothered Lucas when he was making Episode 1. Didn't make the film any less creative. Which is a comment I took issue with last night. I mean all entertainment is made to make bank, and the easiest way to make lots and lots of monies is to make a legitimately good movie. Any Star Wars movie will kill it on the toy market automatically so I don't know if you need to cram poo poo in there just because you think it would help toy sales. But yeah ESB owns because it takes risks.

The more a trailer or movie upsets insufferably miserable nerds on this forum the more I think Im going to enjoy it. Your hate fuels my enjoyment. Keep at it. I think I get this "dark side" thing.

Except it's other people commenting on it? Disney didn't put out a press release or something about how awesome they are for having passed the Bechdel Test, it's people on the internet who are tired of major media not passing such a simple metric.

The "we" in that sentence (the filmmakers) aren't being self-congratulatory, though -- it's other people who are making the point that the franchise is making progress this way. Perhaps if it weren't so relatively rare, it would cease to be a point of discussion.

I guess one could ask oneself: If the test didn't exist, and there was no mention of said circumstances in the trailer, would you still find the trailer obnoxious?
