They'll do the Star Trek Beyond thing and make the super weapon a swarm of really tiny weapons this time, like they're so loving clever.

Baronjutter posted:That little bat faced guy at the cantina? He's seen having a drink passed to him and really wanting it, so clearly this is a defining trait of the character and entire species. You see his race is obviously addicted to a special drink they need to drink to survive, but when they don't have quite enough they become incredibly force sensitive. Or something. I don't know we HAVE to come up with something based on minor things we saw in the movies and misinterpreted!!! I like where you're going with this so I looked it up. According to Wookiepedia Wookiepedia posted:...They all had an instinctive fear of drowning in water. Many Chadra-Fan that left their homeworld went to arid planets, in order to escape any chance of drowning... The fans will not rest until we know why there was a little bat alien sitting at the alien bar.

One thing that the Prequels did pretty well was introduce us to different types of environments. Yeah, Lucas brought us back to Tatooine too many times, but he still showed us a weird underwater bubble city, a beautiful Renaissance Italy-style city with waterfalls, a sleek floating city on a stormy ocean planet, and gave us glimpses of other places like a planet with giant glowing mushrooms, etc. Attack of the Clones also had those weird monsters in the arena, especially the spider-like one with the long neck. So far, we haven't seen anything like that in the new Star Wars movies. Just more desert planets, rocky planets, forest planets, whatever. And the monsters have just been boring tentacle things with no distinctive outline. The Prequels weren't afraid to get weird and even though not everything worked out, i still respect Lucas for trying different poo poo. I hope we eventually get a Star Wars movie that really shows us new and unique stuff. Entirely new characters and scenarios that have nothing to do with the originals. Like make a movie that takes place a hundred years after RotJ and all of the original characters are dead, the galaxy is in a completely different situation now with no Empire, no Republic, etc. And just have new characters that aren't Jedi or rebels or imperials. Make a Star Wars movie about some space pirates and maybe they stumble upon some ancient Jedi or Sith artifacts and have an entirely new story unravel.

If Force Awakens had some balls, the Republic would have built that super-death star and the remains of the Imperials would be the new rebels. It never did make any sense to me whatsoever why the legitimate government was the resistance in that movie.

The rebels will construct two thousand death stars to fight the empire, but the empire will have their new secret weapon. Death star star death star. A death star that kills death stars by shooting death stars.

Last night Jay and rich were in my dreams. We were on top of the sears tower in Chicago. The had broken in through the roof and were telling me to jump over this ledge to another platform and go through a hole cut in the ceiling. I didn't do it.

That wasn't a dream, it was a test to see if you get to break out of this universe and go into the parallel one that's full of adventure with all your favorite people and you failed.

Maybe someone could make a weapon that explodes stars. They could call it the sun crusher and have be the size of a large school bus with a hyperspace drive that is actually a force powered crazy person. The sun crusher is also nigh invulnerable because.

They already had a Death Star that drained stars. And then blew up five unnamed planets at once. That was so dumb, either one of those is a big enough threat, don't do both.

One of my issues with TFA is (yes I know the novel tried to paper over it) is that we still had the rebellion, which I viewed as fanservice they just should have just had them try to get to the new republic and fight the first order. hell set the politics as a 30 year cold civil war and be done with it.

I kind of viewed the First Order as an ISIS uprising. They filled the void the Empire left behind, and the New Republic did jack poo poo to prevent it. They could have easily drew upon that concept a little more.

They could have easily drew upon that concept a little more. I'd have much preferred them a sort of fascist threat brewing in the outer rim, obsessed with the imagery of the empire but unable to field many capital ships, let alone super weapons. Instead they do hit and run attacks, propaganda against the new republic, bully minor independent systems. They are a threat, but they don't have the galactic resource pool to build a loving death-star sized superweapon. Show them behaving more like the rebels, a whole switcharoo thing with the new republic having a hard time chasing them down and focused more on their own domestic front, rebuilding and establishing a new democratic order and all the internal shitshow that goes along with that.

The Force Awakens is bad but BB-8 is cute and likeable comic relief. Rogue One is good and K2-so is really good comic relief. The prequels were insanely bad and had a cartoon rabbit stepping in the poopie. These are the only good opinions but yours are still valid, friends.

The Force Awakens was good on the strength of its characters and writing Rogue One was dull but not terrible because it lacked these things The prequels were absolute dogshit that failed in every way on every level In My Opinion

I was listening to their commentary track for Return of a Jedi and what the hell is Mike talking about when he says there are like no "pop-culture thing" in Empire compared to the other two Star Wars movies? Empire has like a ton of stuff both that was turned into toys and which in many ways has become a part of pop culture, non-comprehensive list follows: - Imperial prove droids - Snowtroopers - Snowspeeders - AT-ATs - Wampa monster - "Go to Dagobah" - Tauntauns - "Use your harpoons and tow-cables" - Millennium Falcon in asteroid field - Asteroid worm monster - Darth Vader choking Imperial officers at the drop of a hat (he chokes exactly one guy in IV and does not kill him) - Darth Vader's chamber - Bounty hunters - Cloud City - Frozen in carbonite - "No, Luke, I am your father" - Yoda - Force cave - Super Star Destroyer - Imperial March theme And a whole lot more. I don't really see how in any way Empire has less things that are like part of pop-culture in it than the other two. I think Mike was making an argument about the movie itself being more remembered rather than a bunch of stuff in the movie that people know and can reference on its own, or something like that.

They must have had a horrible theater experience because i barely registered a lot of the stuff that seemed to grate on them. The ATST didn't even jump out at me since they just explained the empire had locked the city down due to recent attacks. Most of the complaints seem to have been explained at some point in the dialogue. The only parts that i disagreed with was having c3po and r2d2 as well as the 2 bar guys in the movie at all. They could have been absent with no impact to the story. Also, the test audience was dumb for demanding the lava vader scene. It would have been fine to keep vader in dialogue only or have him on the death star or imperial shuttle. Lava vader was some prequel callback nonsense. If they really needed extra vader they could have had him murder forrest whitaker before cassien could, making him second guess his orders in the rest of the film.
