I'm curious to know whether Luke does anything Jedi-y (swing around a lightsabre, use the force etc) or is he just playing the part of wizened bearded kung fu master. Also, I heard about Disney putting out another trilogy, but I didn't really understand it. Are they seriously going to make Episodes X - XIII? (which I really don't think I'd see) Or will it take place in a different era with different characters?

We don't really know anything except it won't be directly related, will be set somewhere else with a new set of heroes, and will categorically not be based on kotor. What, where or when isn't known beyond that though.

Wasn't KoToR set 10k years before episode 1? That way he can remove any need to tie into the main story.

Just got back from seeing the film It's pretty dull overall. Anything with Luke is good, Kylo and Rey are decent again, they might as well have cut Finn's part out of the film, it's just boring. Del Toro is the only redeeming part of Finn's arc. Leia was good too. I kinda don't think it's as good as Force Awakens, at least that film was a remake of a better movie than this one turned out to be. I'd rate episode 3 above it because while that movie is unequivocally poo poo, it's hammy cheesy pure garbage with some wonderful scenery chewing from Sheev. In a real objective sense, TLJ is obviously better than Ep3. The comedy is the exact same brand that Marvel movies have in that it's telling jokes it's trying convince you are funny but they just kinda not. Theres one or two that work. Luke clowning with Kylo in the duel was the sickest poo poo in a Star Wars duel. Great way of showing Luke's the man without going prequel flippy. They have a real job on making episode 9 make any sense in the first ten minutes of plot with Fisher's death. I'm glad they finally showed her using the force and not being the third wheel entirely, she could have really shone in 9. It's a real shame she's gone. Where the gently caress is Lando? Why did they kill Ackbar? Why is the CGI so bad? Why is Snoke a thing? Yoda just looked awful. The mix of OT puppet and CG wasn't good. I'd rather it be a badly standing out puppet than what we got. I appreciated what he does though Luke goes out like a champ and he's obviously going to force ghost it up in 9 but it was a good send off for him. I kind of want to see the Falcon get destroyed in ep 9 too.

Do people actually have buyer's remorse having watched a movie they didn't thoroughly enjoy? I mean, I literally spend the cost of a movie ticket every day on things which I burn and give me lung cancer. I dunno.

You talking about the scene where Laura Derns' character fires the goddamn ship into hyperspace right through the First Orders' ship? Because good god, that was beautiful. The movie went silent, and you could feel everyone in the cinema holding their breath. It was absolutely stunning. Just got back from seeing it. I really liked it, and so did the kids (10 and 13, both super-big Rey fans). And we're all very interested in going to visit Skellig Michael suddenly. What a beautiful, bleak place.

The movie's pissing off a lot of nerds who claim it doesn't make sense, which is the sole reason why people in this thread should enjoy it. But the film's good. People complaining about a saggy middle are justified in feeling that way, but I didn't mind the middle section at all. It seems to me Rian Johnson has learned something from Finnegans Wake by the way (go check it out, he follows the bot on Twitter and has RTd it). You could argue Star Wars is already indirectly influenced by it (it was a big influence on Joseph Campbell). I might go into detail but cyclical theories of history, perversions of Christian myth, coincidence of contraries, warring brothers (one military one spiritual), the daughter and her double, an incestuous family, the desecration of the past by men and its renewal by women, the satire of the notion of purity, its antifascist anticapitalist politics are interesting points of comparison.

So. It’s competent. There’s some good stuff, not great stuff, and really there’s just too much stuff. It’s sooo loooong, and it feels all of its nearly 3 hour runtime. I would have cut out the whole bit where Finn and Rose skip across the galaxy to go on a mission, and just gone straight to being on Snoke’s ship. It makes the slow pursuit of the rebel fleet feel cheap, and the whole sequence ends up being irrelevant anyway, aside from the callback right at the end (did you notice that the slave kid has Force powers? when he reaches for the broom, it jumps into his hand). Del Toro’s character was pretty much pointless, but then that whole sequence was. Snoke ends up being a mystery with no explanation as to who he was and where he came from, which is more annoying than anything. With his death, it feels like there’s two moody teenagers in charge of the First Order now, which is pretty funny since neither of them are actually any good at their jobs. Porgs are the best thing in the film.

I saw this at a parking deck in Scottsdale yesterday, and for a brief moment, my brain thought that the orange was empty space, and the black was a Sarlacc Pit. Then I realized it was supposed to be a palm tree, and there would be no Sarlacc Pit. How disappointing.

A True Jar Jar Fan posted:Any Gungans? No. I don't really think we'll see any hard prequel references in the films. Games and books, sure, because Disney has made it pretty clear by now that they're open to disregarding them (weren't they unhappy about some Jar Jar cameo, too?). But the most the films have said is what gets covered in a single line in TLJ: the Jedi were blind and allowed Darth Sidious to turn the Republic into an Empire. Oh, and Mustafar, I guess, but the whole 'Vader gets his suit after a lava planet showdown' is old school Star Wars, too. I wonder when we'll see something that acknowledges that the prequels happened, be it a character or a world. Something definitive. Otherwise, I do think they're going to just reboot them.

One of my friends that loves "get predictions right" walks up to me yesterday and says I bet Luke dies. I knew he looked it up at that moment and assumed it would happen. If you think about it Poe sending Finn on the mission to get on the First Order ship screwed them. If Holdo had just let Poe know they had a plan, the escape ships wouldn’t have been detected while cloaked because they wouldn’t have gotten the code cracking guy from the casino. He then wouldn't have helped the First Order be able to see the cloaked escape ships. Luke wouldn't have needed to die. Everyone could have escaped cloaked and Holdo could have still crashed the ship into the First Order's. Did they really not have Finn and Rey talk to each other at the end after both of them talking about needing to find their friend for the first half of the movie?
