Just Chamber posted:But it also adds a nice class divide that if intentional would have been cool. The officers coming from high class affluent society, the Stormtroopers drafted from backwater planets. Though you'd need some cockney Stormtroopers to help that narrative. Though the British believing Americans are their lessers isn't exactly inaccurate. Between that and none of even the minor the rebels like Dodonna, the pilots, or "death star in range in 15 minutes" control room guy having a British accent I'm almost certain it was a deliberate choice. Hell, Red One sounds like he's from Erlanger Kentucky.

It's probably a deliberate choice born out of coincidence so to speak. The idea of villain with an English accent was already around by the time ANH came out I'm pretty sure.

R2 just murdered Leia. I assume that's what happened because she just died all of a sudden while he watched. poo poo, wasn't he there when Yoda died too? Hmmm

You kind of have to feel for Prowse. All the iconic Vader stuff is someone else — the dialogue is Jones, the sword fighting is Bob Anderson, the breathing is Ben Burtt, the face is Sebastian Shaw, the ghost is Hayden. Kind of ridiculous.

Can we get the context in which the word "rear end" is said in the movie The Rise of Skywalker? We have seen the Snokes and chimp lab assistant. The rear end is all that remains.

Kind of ridiculous. His body acting, or whatever you call that when you move and gesticulate kind of exaggeratedly to compensate for not having your face be visible, is actually pretty drat good and does alot to convey emotion and intention to Vader's actions and dialogue.

The way he tells it Lucas said he'd get a chance to do do the ADR and he found out his voice was replaced when the film released. I was just remembered the part where he'd started deliberately loving up lines in ESB.

Ok, why is she all the jedi? Is being a Jedi like being the Avatar or something? They keep mentioning generational poo poo, but it sure would have been cool to set that up in an earlier film. Hagrid's voice, "You're a Jedi Ang!" e: Does NO ONE die when they are thrown down a chasm? Luke jumps down and he lives in ESB, Palp in RotJ and he's fine, and now Kylo is just wall climbing back up? gently caress, if you are about to die in Star Wars I suggest just jumping into a pit.

I'm done. I would say it's a disappointing ending to the saga if I hadn't already been disappointed by 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, and some of the goofy Han solo bits from 6. At least this is bad in a different way? E: The Mandalorian is good though...

Star wars is a setting where they've had artificial gravity for thousands of years, so miles-deep metal tech trenches are actually incredibly safe and are a common feature in military bases, power stations, schools and public restrooms

Cough Drop The Beat posted:The only Star Wars movie with a lower Rotten Tomatoes average than Rise of Skywalker is The Phantom Menace. Even Solo and Attack of the Clones were "better" received by critics. This is not a good movie. even phantom menace was. prior to the 3d re-release, TPM's score was like 63 or something.

Randarkman posted:I have the best idea for Rogue One, it shouldn't have been made. An engineering flaw on something of that size and complexity, which is only exploited with a one in a million shot assisted by the force, is not a plot hole and actually makes way more sense than whatever garbage they used to justify the existence of Rogue One.

goons are bad at watching movies in rogue one, the design flaw is the fact that the reactor is volatile and can chain react and explode. galen erso says the plan should be to sneak someone onto the death star to plant a bomb next to the reactor. the exhaust port is not what galen put into the design.

It is a million times easier to assume Space Nazis bought into their hype and thought the test model having a flaw they were fixing in the imperial flagship version was perfectly fine versus "oh man, I wonder why our design built by a guy we held hostage has a severe flaw in it, better build it anyway"

Owlbear Camus posted:It's exactly the kind of nice punchy world-building scene that the sequel trilogy needed more of. A few cast off lines about the emperor dissolving the senate and exercising dictatorship through governors like Tarkin helps loosely sketch in the world this story is taking place in. It's just the right amount, not the "galactic C-Span" of the PT, or the ST that really doesn't seem to care about providing much of a context for how the FO, Republic, and Resistance relate at all. This is a huge problem with the sequel trilogy, period. There's been countless edits done by executives and marketers in the name of merchandising opportunities. Which is why the politics and galactic structure of the ST feels slapdash and cobbled together: Disney wants you to buy books and comics that delve into the timeline between RotJ and TFA. Same reason why pilots like Snap Wexley and Jess Pava have no context whatsoever in the movies. Read the comics about them. Also why Poe Dameron "dies" and comes back to life at the end of the movie. These are all decisions that were made in the name of maximum exposure at Target or Walmart, and why in many respects, the ST feels very small and shallow.

It's a good thing Rey didn't inherit her grandfather's looks. ... Which gets me thinking. When did old Palpy have his son? It couldn't have been before the events in episode 3 considering the ages of Rey and her father. So that means ugly old melty face Palpatine had sex. Try to get that image out of your head. edit: added spoiler tags because I guess some people care. Gianthogweed fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Dec 20, 2019 |
