Yaws posted:Try to follow along with me here CelticPredator It was a clear statement about Luke's beliefs, and was dramatic because Rey had someone she looked up to completely dismiss her hopes and dreams. There was plenty of genuine emotion in that scene.

The only other way would be to do the same scene except full of close ups of the thing, and super dramatic music.

ruddiger posted:Then he should have chucked it into the ocean. I think that would require a more dramatic throw. His approach is more "Eh, this thing's useless." He tosses it aside not caring where it goes. Or maybe he leaves it for her to retrieve since of course she's gonna keep trying. Luke's behavior is really very classic "Kung Fu Master" stuff, similar to Yoda but not quite the same. Whereas Yoda disarmed Luke with humor, Luke's approach is a kind of disdain.

LookingGodIntheEye posted:When Kylo Ren hesitates in killing his mom and unexpectedly Leia survives despite basically everyone's expectation that she would die because her actor is dead. This was one of the most emotionally intense parts of the movie. Ren is visibly angry and this contributes to his decision to kill Snoke. It is then immediately followed by Chewbacca eating the bird ewoks. That's after a change of scene and a natural pause, though.

Jeb!

Even in the space battle its treated like a pestering ship that lands a few good shots. Its presence isn't affecting anything immediate grander than that so it ultimately is just some window dressing.

Powered Descent posted:Bear in mind that almost no time has passed in or between these movies. The beginning of TFA is maybe four days before the end of TLJ, and the Resistance was running for its life for most of that time. They didn't have time to peruse the used spaceship lots and contemplate an upgrade. Besides, the Resistance doesn't own the Falcon. Han did, and I guess now Chewie does. The entire 2 movies have taken place over a week. Message board fights over TLJ have now lasted multiple times as long as it took the Empire to take over the galaxy or Rey to progress from not knowing what the force was to being a super powerful Jedi Knight

echronorian posted:Even as someone that loves TLJ that your mom joke at the beginning is just so off-putting Poe just bears the brunt of market-tested cost balancing. My impression from the thread is that he was supposed to die early in TFA and got brought back through Disney-meddling? Yeah if so, he's going to be meddled with forever, the designated meddlee for anything that concerns the bottom line. There's just less esoteric scipting that hinges on Resistance wonks like Poe, they just don't need to delve into anything relating to the force, the central power the unifies the universe. Nope, they can just be audience mirrors, oddly unrelatable ones like that. Are there a lot of men in 2017 that think "hot-shot pilot" is the guy to be? Or Women that think "conceited detachment and class divide are admirable elements of feminity"? Slim Jim Pickens fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Jan 1, 2018 |

Why do people act like the mom joke was this huge deal? The film didn't grind to a halt for a laugh track and for Oscar Isaac to wink at the camera...

I dunno if it's the fault of the joke, the beginning just feels clunky and the joke stands out when the audience is trying to find the tone of the film. I've seen it 3 times and haven't heard anyone laugh at it

Not sure if it's about the end "about his mother" line specifically, but the audiences I've been in have reacted positively to the humor there.

while this sounds like it was written by a bot, i gotta say this was my experience too. personally i feel that it was odd to lead the movie off with a funny scene, but the poo poo got laughs. on opening night it was real weird to me though and it gets the movie off to a real strange start

The much funnier Hux-getting-taken-down-a-notch moment was him trying to take a call with a pissed off Snoke in his quarters and a giant Snoke face shows up on the bridge and starts throwing him around.

My thoughts on the prequels The Phantom Menace - This one can trick you into having fond memories because the good parts (pod race, duel of the fates, going through the water-filled center of a planet to get to the other side) are much more memorable than the bad parts (the goofy, dull, confusing remainder of the movie) - Is it true that Qui Gon is implicitly Anakin's father? - The last Star Wars movie it was possible to be hyped for without being gullible - People complain about Jar Jar but Watto's the one who was truly loving unbelievable Attack of the Clones - CineD is famous for its contrarians, but is anyone contrarian enough to say this isn't the worst Lucas-directed Star Wars? Well, now that I think about it, yes, there's definitely someone - Seriously I saw this movie in the just the right circumstances, at just the right age, years before prequel hate was a full meme, and still hated it - Honestly it's surprising it took Lucas this long to have clones in a Star Wars movie (aside from the reference in a New Hope). The man is permanently obsessed with clones - One thing I'll give this movie credit for is how effectively it brings you along for Anakin's fall. It makes you hate the sandpeople more than any other villain in the series, so you feel the same bloodlust and spite and contempt -- dark side emotions -- that Anakin does when he massacres them Revenge of the Sith - While it was in theaters everyone was saying you should see it because it connects to the OT and while it's still not as good as them, at least it's better than the other prequels. Talk about damning with faint praise - Ewan McGregor's a good actor - Sidious' appearance being twisted by his own malice is very thematically appropriate. It's also cool that they managed to have the same actor portray him in all six movies. Er, five - "NOOOOOO" started the tradition of prequel memes that continues strong to this day - My favorite serious thing to come out of this movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN74bOubUug

So in A New Hope if we accept that R2-D2 fucks, and hosed the Death Star, does that make the Death Star a person like droids are or is R2 just a sex pervert?

Reading Wookiepedia or some poo poo, R2D2 has a strong masculine personality is what he's described with. He's obviously the top when it comes to 3CPO, is courageous and has wit and attitude. He also gets poo poo done. Maybe he's the robot James Bond and when necessary can pump a Death Star for info. I think Ewan's Ben Kenobi, Anakin, and R2D2 are a really effective badass team and compliment each other nicely.
