Who directed the throne room sequence? It's the best scene in all 11 movies, just absolutely fantastic performances by all 3 actors there and doesnt even have much dialogue There's no loving way Lucas directed that scene

I don't care about metacritic or rotten tomatoes, but this is so juicy. What a world! On top: a film starring Adam Sandler, showing that script + directing trumps all Second, Rian Johnson's new film Third, a loving Jumanji sequel ...And below them all, Disney's conclusion to the final Star Wars trilogy.

Is Rose even in this? I haven't read anything about her in spoilers and she was such a lightning rod for toxicity last time. Sucks for Kellie Tran to endure all that for 2 years just for her character to get Jar Jar'd.

This is what I understood to be the case, which is why Kurtz wasn't involved in Return of the Jedi and spent the rest of his career talking poo poo about Lucas (between ruining several other projects via mismanagement, like the Thief and the Cobbler)

Went searching for anyone writing about who directed particular scenes in ROTJ and came across this funny articlequote:From accounts, it does seem like Marquand was a nice guy (he marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. at Selma) and a capable director (he was an Emmy-winner), but was in over his head with Jedi. Not because of the material or any of the challenges of directing a Star Wars movie, but because Lucas was literally standing right there the whole time. How do you not defer to Lucas when he’s looking over your shoulder and this is so obviously his creation? This is what brings me my greatest hope for the new Star Wars movies — not because Lucas is gone, but more because, like Kershner, with Lucas “not around,” filmmakers are going to feel a bit more freedom to do what they want to do as opposed to what they think Lucas wants.

There's no way the first two are touching it. I don't think I need to see Peter Jackson Star Wars after watching him indulge all of his worst impulses thought 9 hours of The Hobbit. Matt Reeves might be the right kind of blandly competent to get the call, depending on how his Batman movie goes.

I don't know, I haven't seen it. But the guy is a good actor (when he's not in garbage like Genysis), so I doubt it's because he was so bad.

I'd love a Guillermo Del Toro starwar, but there's no way he'd sign on for a full trilogy. That's why the anthology movies were a pretty good and fun idea, Disney just went wrong when they got so concerned about maintaining tonal consistency.

Meh. I wanted a fun space romp with some Star Wars weirdness. Any of those directors would have been more interesting with Star Wars than goddamned JJ Abrams.

General Dog posted:Just curious since I came to talk about this very subject- if TLJ had been more of a consensus success (as far as fan reception), what would've been the logical extension of its story into the third movie? I don't hate Last Jedi, and I think in a lot of ways it did its best with the bad hand TFA dealt it, but it does seem like it really burned the bridge behind it. It's explicitly about the circular nature (and overall futility of) Star Wars- the galaxy is always going to be that lightsaber, caught in the balance between light and dark, repeatedly broken and then re-mended. The protagonists identify this, but come to the conclusion that better things aren't possible. The end. Where can you go from there? 1. One of the central thrusts of TLJ was that the resistance had to survive to inspire their allies to take up the fight. While it ends with the resistance decimated, we see the stories of heroism of Luke and others being passed down, which seemed to suggest that the next movie picks up with allies reaching out and joining the fight. 2. Kylo Ren is impatient and immature, and there are many reasons to think him leading the First Order could be disastrous. Also it could lead to infighting as others in the FO sense his weakness and try to overthrow him, causing more chaos in the FO, and making it easier to defeat. 3. Rey, realizing that her affinity in the force doesn't come from any special heritage, means that far more people can become strong in the force than previously assumed. She beings to spread word of this more democratization in the force and inspires and trains a new form of Jedi, maybe guided by Leia and ghost skywalker,. Just some ideas off the top of my head.
