I started watching a couple half in the bags and they are alright. Rich made a good point on R1 that the dirty secret of the Star Wars universe is that it seems really big but it's actually super small. Like this and future works will always need to have an OT character or be heavily influenced by OT elements, etc. Granted this is really only the first crack at a side story, but I think his theory will end up being more true than not.

The EU before it got uncanoned was incestuous as hell. Everybody was related to someone else and almost every character you saw in the movies ended up, or had a short story or novel based on them. Force users were stupid powerful like Goku and arbitrary strong or weak with increasingly absurd powers. The best stories had nothing to do with the Force and the worse had Jedis, Sith or endless clones.

It's just a fairly common sci-fi thing, in the sense that most sci-fi is just upscaled fantasy with spaceships. The realm is now a galaxy and the towns are individual planets, but their actual size and importance are only as big as the story demands.

Its show business not show freebies and people want to want to see ANH over and over. I think Lord of the Rings is boring but I don't go to see those films and complain that its always about hobbits or dragons or whatever LotR is about. Batman is way bigger than Star Wars. Not only are there way more characters and stories, but there's also a huge tonal variance. From super silly to super grim to crazy psychedelic to realistic. Batman 66 and The Dark Knight are both equally Batman. There will never be Star Wars movies as different from each other as Batman Forever and Batman vs Superman.

If you take away the laser swords and the iconic warmachines like AT AT and Xwings and other toys you're left with "space setting #1231". That's the issue. So they gotta cram in the deathstar and empire and sithlords and darth vader and laser swords and Xwings and tiefighters and stormtroopers 4ever or else it's not recognizable as star wars If the new trilogy is successful, they could potentially use the characters for new adventures without the above mentioned things and the characters themselves will be the identifying "star wars" element for further sequels. But we're not there yet so they gotta sprinkle every movie with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp0wSiQ_Nnc

Batman movies is about "batman". So you can do whatever the hell you want as long as you got Batman in there. Star wars isn't about any one character or any one organisation or idea. It's just "space adventure time"

oohhboy posted:Trakin was fine, although I wish he was a little bit more animated and they paid more attention to micro expressions, it was a little wooden. The voice work was a little sub-par as it seem to lack menace and wasn't British enough, better work here would have done wonders doing way more than rendering more pores on the face. I am sure they could have ploughed more resources and time into it, it worked well enough. Why did they render so many liverspots on him he doesn't have liverspots in the future. Does he get his skin treated in the next 30 minutes and look like just an austere, severe old man instead of monty burns?

I've never wanted to walk out of a film as much as this one in a long long time. There is ZERO humour throughout and the best stuff, the historical scenes, are maybe 30% of the film? The last twenty minutes feels BUTCHERED in the edit and the film just ends randomly. It is AWFUL and I'd recommend not paying any money to see it. A real 1 star stinker.

They double downed a bit in that last video, they start off ok if still disagreeable but start going off the cliff a couple of minutes in when he plasters over the readily available character motivations and complains about how the movie felt compared to the OT when it succeeded in it's intended effect. He again dismisses the final battle out of hand because pew pew and doesn't look at the cinematography of it compared to TFA which was far more pew pew boom face blasting with shake cam while R1 was true to the look and feel of OT. While the first Vadar scene was entirely pointless no doubt and questionable, he didn't understand why he had to be in R1 and complains about the lack of introduction when they introduce him. He complains there is nothing to explain what happened previously when there isn't anything to tell from previously when in fact it was meant to do the opposite by sending the story forward. The bits that are "previously" are a little vague and not straight up told to you which are acted out like Kernnic's and Galan's relationship as old friends who break apart because of their differing morality and how this connects to Jyn. They didn't focus much on Galan as the movie was about getting the plans. It was pretty clear what Galan experienced for years under the abuse of Kernnic in the same scene as the attempted rescue allowing that time to do double duty. He constantly asking for tell no show instead of the other way around. He compares the fight scene again without explaining himself again while wistfully longing for nostalgia over actually analysing the film giving his improvements. Blunt force going through armour hurting troopers isn't unprecedented, it comes from the RoTJ. A valid complain for that fight was that they were a little bit super powered breaking the "Normalness" the characters show throughout the rest of the film. He blasts the ATAT running straight into "MILITARY TACTICS" complaining about blowing up their own base which is mostly idyllic beaches but somehow he misses the entire point of them which was to have that oh poo poo "Tiger" moment where the heroes that the time seem to be prevailing has the tide turn when an untouchable weapon or force arrives causing them to flee. This is then reversed again as with Saving Private Ryan when the reinforcement arrives blowing up the Tiger/ATAT. After that he attacks poo poo that is straight up nonsense to pad the score. TFA and R1 did break Mike's mind, then there is the alcohol and the purple hands. Krinkle posted:Why did they render so many liverspots on him he doesn't have liverspots in the future. Does he get his skin treated in the next 30 minutes and look like just an austere, severe old man instead of monty burns? Unlike TFA of which I am happy to abandon, I want to rewatch R1down the line to pickup on some more of the details I might have missed although I would Fast forward parts of the first half. oohhboy fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Jan 2, 2017 |

The time period was closer to OT than PT so it makes more sense the technology was closer to OT. It even has the Hi-tech low tech OT look while PT looks more advanced with it's full colour holographic displays and impeccably shiny ships. R1 did add little things like the atmospheric TIE-like vehicles and the modified AT-AT(ACT), giant rear end dish, and APC, portable LMG with a backpack not too different to Predator, Force-like users who aren't jedi, They brought some ships that were in Empire at War, and Anti-armour RPG for all that did. The movie didn't jump up and down screaming look at this! New! I really did think some of the characters would make it out alive and there was tension unlike TFA where you knew everyone would make it out, but nope, these are normal people and normal people don't get happy endings a lot of the times even if they complete the mission. Another annoying thing was that they could hyperdrive at will despite it being dangerous thing to do which made those escapes a little cheap.
