But People have fears that beasts do not. Questions, too.
Saw it, it was acceptable, probably not the worst movie in the entire series. It DESPERATELY needed an editor to cut like half an hour out of it, but throughout the whole new trilogy I really dug the Rey/Kylo dynamic. The confrontation in his quarters/down in the snowy slums was really interestingly shot, with the fragments of either place raining down from the blows.

I hope KK stays around to cement Disney SW as a creative failure. They can ride on the fumes but the soul is dead and there are no good options other than the slow death.

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



The comic shop across the street from me was having it's going out of business sale and I picked up a bunch of Star Wars comics for a quarter a pop b/c why not.

I had to share this stupid sexy hutt panel with my fellow goons:

We need a Disney coming of age story starring a Hutt. Just use the usual princess formula about a hopeful youth striking out to reach the impossible against the whims of their parents authority.

The hutt is like a Weeaboo collector for Jedi poo poo and he makes Luke turn on all his Holocrons at gunpoint.

IDK what happens after that they didn't have the next issue.

It also would have been a lot less jarring if we had seen her do something (anything) with the Force before this. She reacted to Han's death in TFA, but something more "active" or overt to show she has been developing her powers. A quiet moment of floaty meditation like Luke on Dagobah with the rocks, Mind Tricking Poe into leaving her alone, or just pulling a glass of water to herself from across the table.

(I will admit that something like this may have happened and I forgot about it. I only saw TLJ once in the theaters and haven't been bothered to revisit it since.)

I agree Leia could have done some more Force poo poo before the bridge explosion in TLJ. I think the only example they give is her sensing Han’s death in TFA and sensing Kylo’s presence during the attack. Idk how you work out having space wizards while also having stakes but more Leia doing Jedi poo poo would have been nice.

I do not agree with people who claim her power is over the top, moving herself through the vacuum of space to save herself from death isn’t like a wacky op Force power, especially considering the movie makes it clear she just barely survives and is drained as a result and it seems like a really dumb line to draw considering use of the Force in the rest of the movies. It’s something that makes people so bizarrely mad I wish she had spent the rest of the movie zooming around in space shooting ships with Force lightning.

They in fact did not, everyone just kind of rolls with it now but Force powers undermine stakes in the OT quite a bit.

Can't believe we didn't get to read the actual tweet, and when he tweeted again that he's attacking in 16 hours instead of winning right away, we had to have Pippin translate because he's the only one that speaks the Emperor's English.

I think its fine Leia has the force, it makes sense and could be cool

Her flying through space looked loving dumb though; keeping force powers subtle is better because Jedi running faster than F1 car looks dumb, jumping on bounce pad over a lava river looks fukken dumb

Edit: Seriously eat poo poo
You're just saying it doesn't look good. That's just lovely film-making (another point against movies). The six-million dollar man figured out how to make that poo poo cool, on a tv budget, in the 60's (edit) 70's. You just slow down the camera and make a cool loving sound. Or that X-men movie scene where the fucker runs really fast. Also there are tons of loving animated scenes of superman racing the flash that are fine. Movies, as a medium to tell stories, don't have the chops to be entertaining to you Amateur movie-watchers any more.





Kazak posted:

So wrong, what a bad post

Zooming Leia sucked because it had no precedent and it was a lazy deflation of a previous moments impact (Leia's team getting blown up)

The precedent is not in Star Wars films. The precedent is in your Amateur movie-watcher culture. Like remember when the Die Hard(Bruce Williace) launched a loving car to blow up a helicopter he leveled up his movie explosions skills. It was awesome, except to you amateur Movie-watchers. You are like people who drink liters of coke a day. You have so much sugar in your system that if you wanna feel something at 3 am in the morning you have chug a monster energy drink. That's why instead of one planet being blown up in the Seventh movie three had to be blown up. Then in the Tenth movie they are gonna blow up a whole loving universe.


If movies keep being made, it's eventually going to be the Fast and Furious with mutant powers fighting space Thanos with like 100 floating light sabers. Star Wars fans will be like "YEAAAH!" then buy all the toys. Basic people who don't watch as much movies will be like "YEAAAH!" While Pro movie-watchers will be like "well it is absurd, but it takes the iconic items of earlier Star Wars movies to their natural end point. In such a manner you just have to laugh and go "YEEEEEAH!"


While you amateur movie-watches will sit and sulk and be all, "That sucks because it's not realistic enough for my snobbish taste."

No you are calling christians weak. Star Wars is the story is about a violent Jesus who grows up in a desert and fights against a Roman (also British) Empire. Like wouldn't christian be much cooler if Jesus was allowed to be the DJesus we all really want.
