i remember watching the last Fast & Furious movie with Paul Walker, the one he died during filming. And I knew the Jason Statham character was taking their team out one by one, so the entire movie I was watching like: Alright when is Paul gonna eat it? How are they going to approach this? How do they kill this guy off? But then at the end they just do this nice drive off into the sunset thing and i was like: ohhhh, duhhh. of course. like why the gently caress did I think they were going to blow him up in a car or shoot him?? rofl of course they're going to do like a sweet and touching sendaway. Fast and Furious franchise did a better major cast member death

I saw it. Pacing was terrible with the entire movie being fetch quests. Anyone else dislike Finn? He's just such an annoying character. He wasn't nearly as bad in TFA, but he ended up being the idiot saying they need to save Rey everytime she did anything. Does he not see she's a loving superhero?

Crazyweasel posted:The point I was making is that under Lucas, Lucasfilm was so much more than just Star Wars. Pixar started there, modern CG and sound design started there, LucasArts reinvigorated a whole genre of video games, (good or bad) it completely changed how to merchandise and grow a fictional universe. okay yeah fair enough

Finn has the best arc in TFA that they could have gone a lot of directions with and instead chose to go none with. Hell it would have cost them nothing to have horse girl at least give him a little payoff by saying "We heard the story of one brave trooper who defected and it inspired us..."

Away all Goats posted:why did they give every star destroyer a planet killing weapon but gave only one of them space GPS Complaining about military choices in a movie about magic and space lazers... The US/Russia both even have advanced missile systems that are designed this way, to allow more control over powerful weapon systems The US has a loving briefcase still. The plot was pretty... I don't even know, but they did a good job establishing the emperor being a control freak in every film, including this one. Also historically we know Hitler made a bunch of engineering mandates that were cartoonishly dumb (dive bombers, tank armor), and these movies were pretty transparent about the nazi germany = the empire rhetoric.

Which still means you can get two or three seasons of The Mandalorian for one awful sequel trilogy movie. A better buy for the money if you ask this Star Warrior.

Blistex posted:Personally, I think the biggest crime against Star Wars is that Disney gave EA exclusive rights to the property, and we've no closer to getting a 4K Tie Fighter game or a modern remake of Empire at War than we were 10 years ago. I'm guessing EA paid out the rear end for exclusivity in order to keep other studios from making good games with the property, like they do with the NFL/Madden

i got a free month of origin basic (they give you one if you turn on 2fa) and used it to try out star wars battlefront 2, it's not a classic for the ages or anything but i ponied up the 11 bucks to buy it. they got the feeling of being in a star wars battle pretty right and the ways they compensated for 'no ammo or medics' are sorta cool and interesting still grindy as poo poo, though, to unlock stuff

The big problem with the ST is disney had no over all plan and in the end it became a lowlevel cat fight between two directors and competing "visions"

Zzulu posted:lol so my parents gave their lives to save me? That's cool and all but THIS guy starred in the original Star Wars movies so I'm gonna take his name Son of Rodney posted:That's the funniest part, really. Like she finally found out that her parents were amazingly strong people who endured torture and died under it without saying anything, all just to save her. But no, gently caress you, I wanna be a Skywalker like my cool uncle Luke and aunt Leia. Like what a dissapointment that would be as a parent, absolutely crushing. You all might want to sit down for this, but it is quite a common occurrence for people to cruelly drop the surname of their parents and spitefully take the name of some other family that they barely know in comparison. They're usually women, so you might want to watch out for that kind of thing if you ever have any daughters, I wouldn't want you your souls to be crushed. I know this is a Star Wars thread on General Bullshit on SomethingAwful.com and therefore I should just expect it to be a wretched hive of scum and villainy but good lord have I read some pretty galling takes here (and not just these, either) about this whole last name business. If Rey's parents truly were decent people then they'd support her decision. And you can be drat sure they'd already disowned the name Palpatine themselves, anyway. Edit: Seriously, eat poo poo.

Cough Drop The Beat posted:I don't even understand why it was ever done because Star Wars has a rich history of sometimes good, sometimes bad, and occasionally very bizarre games made by every developer under the sun. LucasArts managing their games in-house and working with almost anyone is how we got awesome stuff like KOTOR, Jedi Knight II, and Rogue Squadron. George Lucas is a genius for how creating LucasArts. The movie is already pretty much a Legend of Zelda movie as it is, why not let Nintendo make The Star Wars/ Legend of Zelda Movie: The Zelda Game? And I bet Konami could make a killer 4-player beat 'em up out of this movie, too.
