Make it like Bela Lugosi in Plan 9 from Outer Space and just have someone else hold a cloak over their face whenever they need to film a scene with Leia in it.

CelticPredator posted:Nah. Make the movie. Keep making the TLJ people mad. gently caress 'em. They can watch something else. And when the film backtracks on the courageous decisions they made in the Last Jedi? Does an attitude of "gently caress the consumer!" also apply to the feelings of Last Jedi fans, or is it only the bad people whose opinions should be ignored no matter the financial cost?

gently caress everyone and let god sort 'em out. This is why I love Neveldine and Taylor. They just make rad stuff and don't really care if you're into it or not.

It was incredibly brave and subversive when the heroes of The Last Jedi prioritized their bullshit mission over ending slavery.

The New Republic was juuuuust about to end slavery. Honest. It was like number 1 or 2 on the itinerary....of next year. Then they got blown up. These movies make no sense. What is the resistance fighting to protect? Slave worlds that cater to the super rich? They havent been able to outlaw slavery in 30 years? Are they setting up the new trilogy to be a prequel reboot where the broom kid is the new Anakin? What the hell are these movies even trying to say?

What they should do is have characters say, "I wonder what Leia would say?" then cut away to footage from the Star Wars Holiday Special or something or Carrie Fisher being interviewed on Graham Norton. Nobody would see it coming.

From someone who really doesn't care about Star Wars one way or the other, and has no stake in the game, it just seems like the series, the creators and the fans have gotten their heads so far up their own asses it pretty much has nowhere to go. The entire universe feels about the size of a small town with half a dozen people in it.

Of course, The "Great Space Horse Liberation" was a pretense in facilitating their own escape, applied after-the-fact when they were no longer useful to The Resistance.

CelticPredator posted:They did. Not the movies fault you didn’t like it. They did not. TFA was clearly built around evoking the nostalgic "Star Wars feeling" at the expense of plot and character development, and TLJ constantly undermines its own themes. The slavery scene is a perfect example. At least Lucas was interested in exploring other stories within the SW setting and take risks in an attempt to tell a compelling story. That's not going to happen now that Disney are in control KVeezy3 posted:Of course, The "Great Space Horse Liberation" was a pretense in facilitating their own escape, applied after-the-fact when they were no longer useful to The Resistance. Right. They liberate the poor sentient animal but only after exploiting it for their own benefit. Meanwhile the enslaved children, which are of no use to the Rebellion, are left to languish at the hands of their cruel slave masters.

I think we're meant to interpret the last scene of TLJ as the Resistance inspiring the child slaves (and, allegorically, all oppressed people) into freeing themselves, just like Rose and her sister. Of course, "inspiration" isn't an actual political goal. Even if inspiration was politically viable, it doesn't really work thematically because the thing that is meant to be inspiring is "Star Wars the multimedia franchise", when that franchise is really just a corporate entity that is obligated to release a poorly considered movie every year. It doesn't really inspire anyone to do anything politically worthwhile.

Well, the Rebellion never wanted to free the slaves; they just wanted to change who was in control of the Empire; so it's not inconsistent with their broader programme.

Whenever the gambler arms dealers behind all the star wars are off screen, all the other characters should be asking, "When are we going to go murder the arms dealers?"
