Bruceski posted:Well sure it gets messy. I don't think there's any kind of movie analysis that isn't messy, particularly not "here's what it meant to me." The issue is that you’re talking in terms of, like, ‘learning humility to earn leadership” - which is generic and vague enough to apply as much to Admiral Holdo as to General Hux. When we look at the specific story of the Resistance’s death and theoretical rebirth as the Rebellion, then the point is that the New Republic was poo poo and has now officially died. Poe and Holdo are representative of their moronic infighting. But the solution is something like ‘maybe we should be vaguely nicer to the poors or animals or something’.

I mentioned it in the gbs thread, but I was getting some light Blankman vibes from that L3 scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOGSwRe-QPM

Han: Threepio, talk to the Falcon and see if we can get more power. Threepio, in machine language: What do you need to get us more power? We're under fire. L3/Falcon: I need equal rights.

There's still lasers and spaceships and junk and planets and rotating magnet trains. Though it is strange they never actually appear to be in space. Star Wars is pretty light on "science fiction" in the first place though.

A.I. Borgland Corp posted:All the stuff in The Martian and in Gravity exists. Neither manned missions to Mars nor giant orbiting clouds of space debris exist. Both of them are extrapolations of where current technology might eventually lead, classic sci-fi subject matter. The main speculative component of Star Wars is people interacting with intelligent machines. Once L3 is dead, we're left with a (modestly entertaining) adventure story.

After L3 is dead they interface her brain into their computer, drop raw deteriorating fuel into their fusion reactor, and plot a faster than light course past a gravity well.

A.I. Borgland Corp posted:There's still lasers and spaceships and junk and planets and rotating magnet trains. Bullets and trains aren’t sci-fi, on their own. What is the film saying about guns and trains? With L3, you at least have the sub-Chappie joke where Kira apologizes to L3’s soul - the discarded, dead person - before ripping out a chunk of her brain. So, unlike Lando (and whoever runs the Star Wars promotional Twitter), Kira recognizes that the Navicomputer is not L3. Other Star Wars actually have a lot of sci-fi stuff going on. See the Elysium-style computerized city in ESB, and all the cloning in Attack Of The Clones, etc.

Yeah, you're right about the first one. It's not when L3 dies, but when they're done picking apart her corpse. The other two are just lists of buzzwords. There's no fiction about science that I can see.

Vintersorg posted:Twist should have been that she's the daughter as that's what I thought immediately. That was my first thought too; I guess sci-fi/action-adventure storytelling has progressed enough that "this badass warrior is actually a young woman" isn't really a shocker moment for me any more.

Your definition of science-fiction seems to be "an exaggerated version of real things". It's a survival story, but in near-orbit/Mars, so it's science-fiction. 300 is also for example science-fiction, because while Persians existed, they did not have cave trolls in their armies.

thrawn527 posted:It's the exact opposite, actually. Yeah, Edwards said they filmed the hallway scene a few months before release. The Mustafar scene also appears to be a reshoot/rework of a previously shot Vader scene that took place on a Star Destroyer. You can see that in one of the trailers I believe.

Blazing Ownager posted:But less about that I think the bigger problem with Star Wars right now (at least in the main storyline) is the lack of any sort of bonds between characters. Two movies in and ALL of the principle characters have exchanged less than like 10 lines of dialogue. There's no feeling of this tight-knit group they want you to feel. Ray has exchanged like 0 lines of dialogue with half of the cast. 3 pages ago but this is a big reason why I think the OT was is so great: it's a swashbuckling adventure starring the Millennium Falcon. The ST doesn't really have that "center" setpiece that brings everyone together and forces them to talk to each other.
