PostNouveau posted:"The new Star Wars movies are bad" is about the same level as "The D.C. superhero movies are good" where I'm just like, this person lives in another reality from me, and we're never gonna bridge that gap. Yeah, me too. I think the pacing was a wee bit suboptimal, but other than that it was a beautifully shot and satisfying film.

Can someone let me in on all the deets for the Porgs? My friends want to see this with me but I'm really only in it for the Porgs and never cared about Star Wars. How satisfying are they? Are they in the movie for a lot of run time?

The subversion of Vader/Emperor/Luke pow-wow, ending with Kylo using the opportunity to kill Snoke, felt like a really cool, new, and natural place to go, referenced allusions by Vader in the original movies, and was a great "coming of age" moment for Kylo where he proves he's ready to everyone in the sithiest way possible. The new trilogy has been super into telling audiences to not revere established things and comes across to me as openly anti-Wookieepedia.

Rey continually pissing off the caretakers was pretty great. They should have done at least one more gag about it

When the gently caress does the original trilogy mention the word "Sith?" At least they actual say "clone" in the OT, even if it's not much.

PostNouveau posted:The end to TFA was even subverted with Luke just tossing away his old lightsaber immediately. I thought that was a great moment, both funny and a little bit shocking. Lukes' expression of mildly unhinged, infinitely weary contempt for it and everything it represented was really well done, in that tiny split-second you really do realise that "this is not going to go the way you think"

I really really loved the final battle visuals. Such a great twist on what we thought was a snow planet. And the mixture of red and white was gorgeous. The skiff things kicking up was just utterly fanstastic. And the mine that the Falcon went through. Just all around incredible.

The Force Awakens' 'Hosnian system' is basically the same trick as Rogue One's 'Mustafar': You present the audience with familiar imagery and allow them to fill in the blanks, without having to outright state that it's the place in question. The difference is that apparently Disney decided actually blowing up Coruscant for reals was too crippling to their potential future storylines / bottom line, so they changed it to some other place and let casual moviegoers just operate on the reasonable assumption that it's the same glittery city planet from the previous films.

It's not a trick. The system is explicitly called "the Hosnian System" in dialog (At least twice, if I recall correctly). Anyone who thinks its Coruscant was not paying attention to the film.

PT6A posted:When the gently caress does the original trilogy mention the word "Sith?" In A New Hope during the evil conference scene the original take has one of the big-wigs get paranoid about the "Sith Lord" that the Emperor has sent to keep an eye on them at which point Vader and Tarkin walk in the room and the scene continues as in the theatrical cut. You can find it on Youtube.

Jesus Christ how do you function in human society. His point is that the casual viewer probably doesn’t know what the word “Coruscant” or “Hosnian” means and just knows glitzy city planet got exploded. It doesn’t matter to them which is which because they are not invested in the lore.
