I think it looks cool and I like Star Wars so I’m excited. Looks like some fun Rey and Finn adventures which is good.

We apologise again for the fault in the sequels. The directors of the firm hired to continue the sequels after the other people had been sacked, wish it to be known that they have just been sacked. The sequels have been completed in an entirely different style at great expense and at the last minute.

John Williams's music in the sequel trilogy has kind of sucked to be honest, at least the new tracks, and when they pull out the old ones it kind of feels like a mix of laziness and desperation.

Yeah 7&8’s soundtracks are bad or at the very least, badly used. It’s all the more noticeable when you watch the prequels which are unquestionably hugely elevated by their scores. I can’t whistle you anything from any of these new movies. Time to send Williams to the glue factory and hire someone fresh.

My favorite part of the trailer is when C-3P0 says he wants to say goodbye to his friends, looking at Rey, Finn, and Poe, all of whom he didn't even know and the only interaction they've had has been telling him to shut the gently caress up

TLJ failing to have the characters grow, bond or even interact is gonna be a much bigger hurdle for JJ than its actual events. just flat out pretending all that poo poo happened where it should have is probably his best play lol.

The prequels (and I want to single out Episode I here again, much is made of Duel of the Fates, but the Trade Federation March has always been the one that stuck the most with me) have excellent scores, John Williams was well and truly at the top of his game for them.

You know, just a shame about the movies. The soundtracks do elevate them, but they're still terrible.

Its extra dumb because C3PO has to be almost 100 years old at this point so he has to obsolete and anyone who loved(?) him is loving dead.

I watched Logan Lucky on a flight which was a pretty entertaining Soderbergh heist flick. I liked Channing Tatum and Riley Keough and Daniel Craig was great. Next to them, I thought Adam Driver did a pretty great job acting as a disabled vet stuck in a backwater tending bar, dragged into helping his brother.

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



The degree to which Williams' score elevates a Star War is difficult to overstate.

Think about the ambient minimalist synth that was the default sound track to a 70's sci-fi movie and how chintzy plastic armored laser men fighting each other would be with that kind of score. I think you 100% don't have Star Wars, the phenomenon blockbuster without it, even with everything else identical.

tbh Star Wars with a Tangerine Dream soundtrack would have been lit and might well have succeeded too. the 70s were weird. sounds like it would be a fun project for someone anyway

the Korngold-esque heroic stuff Williams came up with is untouchable though.

I loved Logan Lucky, it's an alright heist film but everyone plays such great warm characters and it had an affinity for working class southerners that feels rare to see. See also Hell or High Water.

I wish Channing Tatum was in more movies

If the prequels have taught us anything, it's that technology has really stood still in a lot of respects. Stuff gets bigger, not necessarily better.

Definitely watch it, Soderbergh tells a great West Virginia Robin Hood story with some fine actors and a sincere appreciation for dusty overworked southernness. Its not quite as desolate as High Water, but it's the right kind of goofy yet sentimental and clever

I honestly prefer prequels approach:

Anakin: Hey master Obiwan remember that time we bonded and had an adventure together?
Obiwan: Yeah that was great, we're close friends

I know, show don't tell.

But still, telling is better than neither showing or telling
