That's mostly true, but the MCU movies do get covered a lot—I've read so many loving articles about Dr Strange, but other than the trailer reveals, practically nothing about Rogue One.

I'm not saying this means anything, but I saw Dr. Strange last night and the displays for Rogue One were bigger than anything I've seen for any Marvel movie.

The trailer for Rogue One in 3D on the big screen looked frickin' sweet.

The theater in helsinki has a dark trooper statue hanging out near the kiosk. If Sweden is getting tickets tomorrow I'm hoping that's a good sign for me.

Polo-Rican posted:I'm really curious about how well Rogue One is going to do. On one hand, it's a loving star wars film and so it should automatically make a trillion dollars. On the other hand I haven't heard a single person in real life talk about it—ever!—and I hang out in nerdy circles. It could be because the election has dominated all of the conversation in the past few months, but I feel like there's more to it than that. I haven't heard many people talk about it but the hype train is rolling hard. Commercials, toys, Car sales tie-ins with pretty much every major brand, etc... You can't even open Gizmodo without there being 3 star wars related pieces being shilled. Often, when I see a massive media blast before a movie I worry that the movie is a horrible flop because the theory goes that they are trying to cram as many people into opening weekend as possible before word gets around at how bad it is. This is probably the opposite case though where they are just trying to boost sales from mega-billions up to super-mega-billions. Heck, I know I'm hyped.

Same, but for the Emoji movie. Still looking forward to Edwards' Rogue One but I hope that the display size discrepancy between this tentpole feature film and the upcoming Emoji Feature Film With The Voices Of TJ Miller And Others does not result in audiences forgetting that there's a special flavor of Star Wars being released!

temple posted:Endor and Ewoks are comparable to the sandcrawler scenes from ANH and batcave scenes from ESB. Star Wars was consistent with silly stuff. The part where Han became a jealous boyfriend is what made Endor so bad. He was totally out of character. I don't see how it's out of character. He fell completely in love with Leia in TESB. Now it seems like Leia has feelings for someone else. Han is still not an emotionally mature person, so of course he's going to react that way. Han's arc in ROTJ is about him finally reaching emotional maturity. First, he calms himself down and comforts Leia on the rope bridge instead of walking away, despite feeling extremely frustrated with her for confiding in Luke but not in him--then, at the end, he allows Leia the freedom to choose Luke instead of him, even though it would break his heart. It's not a particularly involved arc because there are more important things going on, but Han does go through some growth in the movie. As I've pointed out before, the love triangle between Luke, Han, and Leia in ROTJ is a recapitulation of the loyalty triangle (which was originally written as a love triangle, and still functions that way sub-textually) that exists between Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Padme in ROTS. Like every other recapitulation of the PT that occurs in the OT, this one is resolved positively instead of negatively. Whereas Anakin selfishly deals with his feelings of romantic betrayal by gripping Padme ever tighter and literally strangling the life out of her, Han instead prioritizes Leia's happiness over his own and in the end loosens his (metaphorical) grip on her.

Swedish site Moviezine.se claims it has now been confirmed: there will be no traditional opening crawl for Rogue One.

I thought Kennedy had already established that? I think it makes sense. The crawl sets a really specific mood, if nothing else, and they've said that side movies might hew more or less toward gritty or comedic or western or whatever. Losing the crawl frees a little mood space for movies to do their own thing. (It's all going to be super loving safe who am I kidding)

Literally anything that happens yall will consider "safe" Let me remind you that in Trumps America female, nonwhite characters are not "safe" choices to start with. Madds Mikkelsen can drop trou and poo poo awfully onto the floor, on camera and yall would say "safe"

LOL that the prequels were unsafe. The only thing unsafe about them was Lucas directing after a 20 year absence and a openly stated loathing of directing.

Yeah, very safe to make a character try to kill his pregnant wife on top of weird Flash Gordon aesthetics. Seems like in 2005 every damned movie had spousal abuse in rocket age pastels.

making GBS threads aside, I do like SMG's question at the end: why does R2D2 do what he does? I'd honestly be more interested in an origin story about him over young Han Solo.

I really wonder what the Han Solo film's arc is going to be. Is it going to show him become an aloof scumbag? Was he meant to be an ex-Imperial officer? Is young Han Solo going to be like, tried at space-nuremberg or something? Is he going to narrowly escape being space-hanged in the space-hague?

Well, that movie exists. You see his origin in TPM: he was just another fix it droid on the royal yacht until he was brought before the queen in recognition of serving under fire. Presumably he worked hard on behalf of the rebelling out of continued gratitude for the one human who actually bothered to thank him.

He's a spec ops agent for the Republic during the Clone Wars, saw it all go to poo poo and continued his spec ops career for the Rebellion. I figured his reasons were pretty in line with Leia/Bail, then tack on that he gets to gently caress the Death Star. He's basically a droid James Bond. His origins as a full fledged agent are from the CGI Clone Wars series, the episode "Missing in Action" is where R2 really comes into the role.

Is young Han Solo going to be like, tried at space-nuremberg or something? Is he going to narrowly escape being space-hanged in the space-hague? It will almost certainly not be true to the character because Star Wars fans dont really appreciate that Han is really a scumbag criminal and kind of a piece of poo poo.

R2 is not a droid you idiots, he's a small man in a garbage can and always has been. All star wars cast and characters treating him like a Better Droid is just a message to all sub-people (droids) that they should be more like R2 if they want to be treated like equal citizens (which of course is impossible). That's the point.
