Also take into account the fact that JJ Abrams is a horrendous liar when it comes to plot spoiler misdirections.

Rey Skywalker rides again edit: imagine how funny it would be if JJ makes Rey Luke's long-lost secret kid after the movie where Rey and Luke had a ton of screen time together and then Luke died

I didn't like Snoke's throne room because it looked like they forgot to CGI in the background.

Rey's parents will be people of no consequence, but it was Palpatine who made her the same way he made Anakin. That would covering both bases of "we want her parents to be nobodies" and "we want her to have an important lineage". Meanwhile, this is a heck of a thing for Kennedy to drop out of nowhere. https://twitter.com/MTVNEWS/status/1118270840989192192

Tomtrek posted:The red curtain and the mirrored floor always seemed to me to be to be harking back to the various iterations of Ming the Merciless' throne room that have appeared on screen over time: Well yeah, it’s certainly a reference. But do a quick compare/contrast. Snoke is isolated on this little circular island in the middle of the room, whereas Ming is at the top of a staircase and has this sculpture of a massive sunlike halo around him. Even the more traditional throne room in the black & white image has these strong vertical lines - and in both cases, Ming’s throne towers over something: the crowd of subjects and/or the banquet table where he conducts his meetings. So even when Ming steps down, the throne still marks his importance. Snoke’s room isn’t a minimalist version of this - it’s a completely different version. It’s also not the same as in Return Of The Jedi, because Sheev’s room there was kinda hastily constructed atop this antenna-like spire. It’s not where he conducts business on a day-to-day basis. (And even then, he is still sitting over these computer consoles). galagazombie posted:I Think this makes a good point. Everyone knows Han Solos clothes. The way the colors contrast and the lines flow mean that even in a pile on the floor people would go "Those are Han's clothes!". Conversely if you asked anyone what Poe has been wearing you'd get a shrug. The best example of this is when FN borrows Poe’s jacket and says, like, “yeah, this is a Resistance jacket” and... it isn’t. What do Resistance guys even look like? Was Poe disguising himself as a regular dude, or what?

what story do you tell about obi wan on the stupid desert planet that no one cares about? is he gonna fight tusken raiders that were planning a raid on lukes home. or negotiate water prices with the local magistrate with the force. or maybe he fell in love with a local stripper and became an alcoholic when she got eaten by a sarlacc or something. who gives a poo poo.

I don't think they control the video game production though? More worrying is she kinda confirms Palpatine is "back". Was definitely hoping that was just going to be a cameo. Although I guess even if it is only a cameo she couldn't say "oh it's just a cameo" anyway.

I'm disappointed the sequels didn't get more creative with the lightsabers. We have Kylo's lightsaber of course but then it's just Anakin's old lightsaber and a cameo of Luke's green one. I thought Rey would have a new lightsaber in episode 9, maybe with some non standard color but they just somehow brought back Anakin's. It's funny that the green lightsaber in ROTJ was apparently introduced so it would stand out against the blue sky and the desert but they don't care about that now. It's a minor thing but it fits in the whole design laziness of the sequels. Plus I always thought the lightsaber hilt designs were a cool detail in the prequels.

It really is quite odd how Rey is clinging to Anakin's saber. I just think... 1. It was broken in half and probably not easily repairable... 2. But Rey is a pretty good tinkerer, apparently... 3. And she was pretty good with that quarterstaff she had. So it seems obvious that she'd knock together a double-sided lightsaber out of it. Maybe with two different blades or something. It's just weird that they're clinging to a laser sword drenched in the blood of children.

I'm hoping for one side green and one side blue, being a merger of Lukes and Anakins saber. I'm still angry that Luke's green saber didn't show up in TLJ, no that 1 second flashback doesn't count.

Also I'm gonna lol when the knights of ren either don't show up in this movie at all or get unceremoniously ganked by Kylo in the opening scene and never mentioned again afterwards. Since they got completely cut from 8 I kinda get the impression they have no idea how to incorporate them.

Since they got completely cut from 8 I kinda get the impression they have no idea how to incorporate them. Well, it doesn't make a lick of sense that Kylo is the master of anything, much less an order of knights. I can see why they have no idea how to incorporate them. The reason people are so interested in knowing what their deal is is because the Knights don't make any sense with what we know of Kylo Ren's character and his history. Like, he's the master of these Knights of Ren. Are they all [name] Ren? Did they exist before he joined Snoke, or were they other people from Luke's academy? If he's their master, where were they during TFA and why does nothing about Kylo's character suggest he's the sort of person who leads people? Is it a ceremonial title, perhaps? Who knows.

Jewmanji posted:And more maddening: there isn't a single memorable set in either of the two new movies. The fact that the cavernous space where Kylo and Han meet just recycles wallpaper from the Cloud City exhaust tube is a small but illustrative example of the entire approach to these films. Take something iconic, borrow some of the assets and try to loosely re-contextualize them into something new but familiar. On the upside, this got us the fun discussions about whether Jakku is actually Tattooine/Hosnia Prime is actually Coruscant/Maz's lovely bar planet is actually Endor. Okay, I don't think anyone has actually claimed the last thing, but can you give any proof they are not the same?

Grendels Dad posted:On the upside, this got us the fun discussions about whether Jakku is actually Tattooine/Hosnia Prime is actually Coruscant/Maz's lovely bar planet is actually Endor. One of the dumb things about the sequels is that in order to retain the flavor of the OT, virtually everything you see is occurring on some backwater planet (Canto Bight notwithstanding). The reason that Lucas did that in the OT was largely for cost/logistical/effects reasons. The original ending for ROTJ placed the Emperor’s throne room deep inside the molten core of Coruscant. He changed it to Death Star II partly for story reasons but also because of the impracticality of depicting Coruscant in 1983. The ST doesn’t have any such constraint and yet insists on sticking to sparsely populated natural environments. There’s nothing of the diversity of Tatooine/Death Star/Hoth/Dagobah/Bespin/Kamino/Coruscant/Naboo/Mustafar in the sequels.

Apparently Admiral Akbars voice actor didn't like Admiral Holdo because she was some random person nobody was connected with or had an emotional attachment to before the movie she was made up for, and clearly it should have been his beloved character that should have saved the fleet. I like to think nobody could be this totally devoid of self-awareness and that he was kidding, but I hope he's going to really enjoy himself and his charcter become right wing misogynist icons now.

The PT felt like a sweeping opera (and a soap opera at times.). The ST feels like a bunch of assholes having a squabble in a bunch of random forests. It feels inconsequential, despite the fact that a Death Star blew up five planets in TFA
