Saint Drogo posted:characters talking about tearing things down doesn't mean that's actually happening. Huhwa? I'm talking about how TLJ took all the Goofy rehash fanfiction style poo poo that Abrams was teasing, like "OMG who are Rey's parents???" and "Is Snoke the love child of Jabba and Vader???" and other assorted tired gimmicks, and broke all the stupid toys in JJ's Star Wars Toybox so that hopefully someone would have to put some actual thought into where the story should go. But now sadly Abrams is back and clearly thinking "Johnson hosed me. If Rey can't be the child of Greedo's widow and Yoda's ghost Then I'll just bring back the Goddamn Emperor" and the incoming fanfic tsunami gonna be so much worse than predicted.

In fact, I predict JJ will gently caress up 9 so badly that Disney trades Star Wars back to Lucas for a 12 pack of chicken soft tacos, and Lucas spends the final years of his life putting on surprise Star Wars puppet shows at random bus stops in the LA area.

Solo was fine except for the guy who played Solo. Woody Harrelson doing goofy cowboy gun spinning tricks while standing tall on the front lines of a WW1 style trench battle is hilarious. Also separately, you should have known Rian Johnson sucked by the way he pronunces "Rian" vs the way it is spelled.

If you're reading this and thinking, "But what about (movie that isn't episode 4, 5, or 6)? That one was (average or better)!" it wasn't. It was bad.

Star Wars. If I wasn't between the ages (either physically or emotionally) of 11 and 14 when I saw it, it's poo poo. ... I meant that sarcastically, but seeing it in print, it feels like a reasonable criticism.

Just making GBS threads on something bad isn't brilliant art. Sure, yeah, "it's bad!" might be true and worth saying, but all you really did was take a big poo poo.

While the Rian Johnson trilogy is totally going to quietly disappear too, I'd hedge my bets on the Benioff/Weiss Game of Thrones guys Star Wars trilogy getting on the chopping block first.

The expanded universe had a cool feel to it when the games Dark Forces and Jedi Knight came out but then the prequels happened and then everything else happened and maybe I just grew out of this sort of thing but the poo poo sucks now, imo. I am as grumpy as this cartoon man but without a cool metal vest:

The best scene for me was this one https://youtu.be/bRV-C9qBaYA Obi Wan is using deliberate, defensive movements, giving the clones every opportunity to surrender; Yoda is just loving stabbing huge holes in them and screaming in rage. By the end of the short sequence Obi Wan is grief stricken and is just like gently caress it *bisects a clone trooper vertically* They really were decevied by the Sith and had to chop their way out of it. Awesome.

ClamdestineBoyster posted:Luke starts to have sex with his sister but then realizes he’s gay and the rest of the poo poo is his dad and his gay buddies trying to get Luke to be gay with them but he’s not into it. In highschool I dated a girl who never saw the originals. We watched, she was so hard up for them to get together. Then the reveal. Then she was disgusted with herself for wanting incest in space. We broke up after, because I learned we weren't related. It was like poetry.

Randarkman posted:Vader' entrance in IV appearing calmly after the storm troopers is much cooler and more menacing than the stupid monster/video game poo poo he does in Rogue One. That scene is stupid and masturbatory, on the level of Yoda and the Emperor doing lightsaber poo poo. People forget how loving awesome Tarkin is in that movie. Vader being a cog in the beauracracy is a really cool touch. SilvergunSuperman fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Oct 23, 2019 |

He pioneered making toys out of EVERYTHING

To be fair it had a very clear point, but it could have been made with less effort. It was also only eleven minutes of the movie.

RFC2324 posted:nope. lucas created the universe first, tho it was hard to recognize and even weirder Is this actually true? At least Wikipedia makes it seem like what he did is write the script for the first movie based on a short two-page synopsis after not getting the rights to Flash Gordon. Not that he had a whole thought out universe.
