You know I just realized, take a minute to think about what Chewie would look like to Worf with no context. He basically a big mass of fur moving around. He's a giant tribble. That fight would be straight savage.

Moridin920 posted:Why did they just land on the beach like a couple of shitwits though i mean, "couple of shitwits" describes those two to a tee like, pretty sure the movie itself tried to make that clear did anyone else think there was a lot of glorified martyrdom in the last jedi? it was pretty "lol" as gently caress someone brought this exact point up earlier, but if you could just wreck a massive ship by ftl-ing right through it why aren't way more weapon systems designed to just do that. x-wings which die in droves can go ftl (something the OT kinda hosed up on, imo), surely they can just like make missile systems that do the same. hell, it would make any massive structure, like a death star for instance, completely useless

Or something along those lines.

Or something along those lines. That won’t do, like the first thing anyone ever even says about hyperspace in Star Wars is that if you don’t calculate your course right you might crash into a star or something. It ain’t like dustin crops boy

I guarantee you Rian Johnson did not give a flying gently caress whatever the established rules for hyperspace were. Basically the canon answer for "why not hyper ram all the time?" is now "didn't read, don't care lol"

It was still the best scene in the movie, imo, even if it didn’t make a lick of loving sense. The dead silence really makes it.

Its well shot and sound mixed, its just followed by enough of a lull in action that in theater you can go "wait, what the gently caress why dont they do that all the time"

I mean I gotta hand it to em, the scene was visually stunning. And that's not easy to do in the grand age of CGI. It's just that as soon as you start thinking about it, it falls apart.

Correction to previous post of mine. Regarding rogue director Rian Johnson: you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to em".

Yeah. if he did care, there would've been a line like "this ship has newfangled/ancient and lost hypershields installed, it's special its the only one". But not caring is consistent with the theme of the director of the second movie in the third trilogy deciding to ignore basically everything established in the other movies, which would be entirely acceptable if the movie had been good

I like how everybody is already setting up their own internal head canons for RoS based on audio cribbed from other movies in a teaser trailer. It'll lead to huge disappointment at the theater just like Eps 7 and 8 (they did the same tactic for 7 and 8's teasers... half of the interesting things weren't even in the final films). "No one's ever really gone" - Luke in TLJ "Ha ha hahaHAHA!" - Palpatine in RotJ, RotS Everybody: this means Palpatine is in episode 9!!! Meanwhile Disney's yanking them nostalgia strings to the bank like crazy. They know they're going to produce a dull, bland, uninteresting film and will try to break even during opening weekend before word gets out on how underwhelming the conclusion is.

Heck, itd even create a theme matching with how Snoke got killed and could have tied into the later holo-luke trick. But nope. Barudak fucked around with this message at 09:04 on Apr 30, 2019 |

But they exited hyperspace before striking and used some sort of chain reaction to blow poo poo up. This was in the story where the Emperor was cloned and reborn a second time btw

It only just struck me just now, 20 years later, but why the gently caress didn’t the prequel trilogy center around Alderaan instead of Naboo???
