Holy poo poo - you really do have Lucas' cock firmly up your own rear end. Dude, you write some good poo poo but the Lucas fanboyism is way to strong. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Cnut the Great posted:drat, yeah, you're right. I hope Disney don't lose their shirts on this thing. Are people even still interested in Star Wars anymore? While I agree with you, you've also pointed out that the argument is pointless. A Star Wars movie can never be risky because people will go see it regardless.

MrBigglesworth posted:Yeah but going out of your way to say, SEE, LOOK HOW PROGRESSIVE AND INCLUSIVE WE ARE! Kind of ruins it, instead of letting it be what it is, they have to harp on it. I don't think they're harping on anything. They're praising it, saying that it's pretty great. Like, someone saying, "Good on the trailer for treating female characters better than usual" is nothing to get upset about. Is it specifically referencing the test that has you upset?

IMO the Bechdel test is a neat way of making people think about sexism in art, and it's annoying that some people treat it as a reliable way of telling if a movie is ethical or not, but ultimately I try not to worry about them. This is my highly controversial opinion, I bet I'll get downvoted to hell over this!! E: oh, and the movie looks cool, I find something compelling in the grubby OT aesthetics filmed all crisp and digital. Kazzah fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Apr 7, 2016 |

This is my highly controversial opinion, I bet I'll get downvoted to hell over this!! This is exactly how I look at it too. It's a good metric to look at; but it tells you precisely one thing about the movie, and isn't representative of a whole film.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I was impressed at how it didn't feel like just reusing imagery from the OT. Yeah I don't think it "looks like" A New Hope in that sense - it has a clearly different sense of even shared settings and objects. But I do appreciate that Edwards has a more deliberate, Lucasian style than Abrams. Little surprised at how not scary the AT-ATs are though, you'd think a guy with two excellent kaiju movies under his belt could do more with those. Maybe the movie has better stuff than this trailer.

euphronius posted:"Women Using the Force: Hollywood's Diversity Quotas and the Disappearing Male Movie Hero" Please no Absolutely the worst thing in the trailer, probably followed by the guy wearing a giant napkin over his shoulders. ---- As an aside to all this, maybe they're never going to put Ahsoka in a movie because she looks too much like a clown.

turtlecrunch posted:Absolutely the worst thing in the trailer, probably followed by the guy wearing a giant napkin over his shoulders. Yeah, but if he ends up being a Jedi and that staff is a lightsaber he's hiding (like what Kanan does), and he ignites moments later in that scene... it'll be the best thing ever. Donnie Yen Jedi is pretty cool in my book. Hope it's true.

Look, ok, I'm not saying that I'm weird and uncomfortable about women, or that I'm desperately lonely, but if there's one thing that REALLY gets my goat, it's people talking about how seeing female characters do cool stuff in a star war makes them happy

Robutt posted:Yeah that was my exact thought. Really liked the trailer looking forward to the movie but where are all the aliens? You'd think there'd be room for one loving alien in an ensemble. Space racists You have to remember what the Rebellion looked like during the time of A New Hope. Outside of Tatooine, there weren't a lot of aliens in ANH. When we met the Rebellion, it was largely (to borrow a phrase from a different franchise) a homo-sapiens only club. It wasn't really until Return of the Jedi that we started seeing aliens as members (outside of Chewie in Empire). What the "in-universe" reasons for that might be, I don't know. But if you're depicting the Rebellion at the time of the Battle of Yavin, showing a bunch of aliens would have us believe that, in A New Hope, they were, I don't know, all in another room or something.

The first trailer looked fantastic. I am really excited to see this movie. The direction LucasFilms is taking the new era of Star Wars is really great so far. The Force Awakens is unquestionably an amazing film and so because of that, at least right now, I have a lot of faith in this side story.thrawn527 posted:You have to remember what the Rebellion looked like during the time of A New Hope.

It wasn't really until Return of the Jedi that we started seeing aliens as members (outside of Chewie in Empire). Before the EU no longer became canon, the Empire was committing mass genocide, wiping out alien races and wanted a human only Empire.

Yeah I realise the Rebellion (hell, the whole galaxy) is primarily a human organisation - dissidents with ties back to the old senate in the form of Mon Mothma and the Organas etc. And I get that it's only a trailer so maybe I'm worried about nothing but is the mention of some Bothans or a shot of a Sullustan pilot really too much to hope for?hhhat posted:Rogue2rogueFurious RogueNrouge 3: Malastare Drift
