The show will examine the extraordinary heroic origins of stunning and brave Rose Tico as she seeks out answers about the dark side of the force from her estranged father, Nute Gunray. A Star Wars Story.

Atleast I can fantisize about a KOTOR trilogy by the GOT guys, but then again I'd rather not, least it turn out like their show. TLJ will age like wine in the sense that it turns into vinegar. I like this movie less and less.

The only good parts from TFA were Han and Chewy running around like in the OT. Then they killed off Han. What did you expect from TLJ? It’s not good but if anything it’s on a par with the PT.

TLJ at least tries harder than TFA, I'll give it that. TLJ is desperate (uncomfortably so) to surprise and entertain you; TFA is just "here's your Star Wars you like so much, you loving children, stuff it in your stupid fat face"

It anticlimax's multiple times and provides nothing as a subsitute for the climax because Rian Johnson is a sheltered rich rear end in a top hat who wants to be deep. I had enough of that anticlimax fizzle-out poo poo in the same of subversion when Homestuck ended.

The only rumour I believe is the one that said IX is going to end on a cliffhanger immediately setting up more movies. Well that and Luke saying to Rey "No, you are my father!"

What was the point of Luke dying if he's going still be around and serve the exact same mentor function he served before? Just so he can pop up and troll Kylo Ren (a living monument to his failed legacy) whenever he wants?

It's JJ so it's a RotJ remake, Luke won't have time to do anything but sit on a log and mutter some exposition. But even though he's now a barely-repentant child abuser and sovcit, he's a thing people recognize so everyone will clap

That Luke taunted Kylo at all was a disaster. This is a deeply troubled person whom Luke utterly failed as a teacher, uncle and friend There’s a reason Obi-wan wasn’t throwing out quips at Anakin on Mustafar

It strikes me that force-ghost Anakin, who died to save his son's life in one flash of goodness, would have harsh words for that son who himself died to spite the nephew he abused. I want a Luke v Anakin v Kylo lightsaber duel that Rey witnesses as Kylo just flipping out in a void.

Waffles Inc. posted:That Luke taunted Kylo at all was a disaster. This is a deeply troubled person whom Luke utterly failed as a teacher, uncle and friend I think Luke/Kylo confrontation was supposed to mirror Darth Vader/Obi-Wan re-match in ANH though, where Obi-Wan shows similar disregard for his part in Anakin's turn to the dark side. Similarly to Obi-Wan, Luke's first instinct upon learning that his apprentice has dark side affiliation was to murder him (with the difference being of course that Kylo hasn't actually turned yet and also didn't kill any children yet). That being said, the movie presents Luke dunking on Kylo as a triumph for the good guys and a redemption for Luke which is wrong.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Luuuke Skywalker is literally an April Fool's Joke. I asked Zahn why he did the silly "Luuke" thing in the first place, and he said it was because he didn't feel like typing *clone* Luke over and over. So at least there was a legitimately lazy reason for the original naming convention.

It’s not murder if you believe in the force. Which he’s a Jedi so and the force exists.

Much like the mindset is there to provide backstories for absolutely anyone shown on screen, it's there for pretty much any thing on screen. I will concede that it's funny as all hell when playing SWTOR to bring up wookiepedia's being so sorry it's got a page about tits and seeing who gets their jimmies rustled insisting it's a needed informational page.
