There were a lot of things wrong with Rise of Skywalker but boy, it was so gross seeing them wheel out Carrie Fisher Weekend at Bernie's style on the regular to have her stare wistfully into the distance while some other character explains what's happening since all they have is recycled cut line reads from Fisher.

Sorry, I know people have probably discussed Star Wars 9 to death at this point, but I don't use twitter or anything so I just watched it recently under quarantine being like "well people didnt like Last Jedi either, how bad could it be?" Hoo boy.

Hoo boy. It’s strange how JJ Abrams made one really average SW movie and then the entire franchise was put on hold and no one made any more Star Wars films.

I rewatched the original trilogy in 1998 as a sort of warm up to the new one that was coming out Realized I didn't honestly care for the movies at all and so I haven't watched a star war since then

Yeah, but the books and video games weren’t getting constant coverage between mainstream media and not-yet-existing social media.

The X-wing / Tie fighter games were incredible. Come to think of it the X-wing books (written by one of the guys that worked on the X-wing games) were incredible too. Turns out Star Wars is good if you basically strip out the Magic Incredible Powerful Hero People That Are Super Great At Everything and just make it about a war among stars..... hmmm

Related to the St.Elsewhere-universe chat about connectivity between different series that have the same creator stuff that was talked about a long time ago in this thread. Does anybody know if Shaun the Sheep exists in the Wallace and Gromit universe? There are a bunch of cool, cute references to past W&G films in other W&G films, and they do call the sheep they save Shaun in A Close Shave. But I dunno if it is the same sheep.

Yes, that's the same sheep. The sheep from Timmy Time is also the baby sheep from Shaun the Sheep.

I haven't watched the last Star Wars movie. Maybe this comes up and I know it's not the best place but I'd rather ask here then somewhere else and get inundated with fandom. And I say that as a Star Wars fan. But didn't Anakin build C-3PO? Or was that just a look alike. And if so, at any point was 3PO significant? I know he apparently has some scenes in the last film but do they pertain to anything regarding his construction. I mean, I never liked 3PO. Me in '84 probably had some poor opinions of him that have not aged well. But I would have loved if he had some Force-ness based on who created him. He's just been such a twee character for decades that I would really like for him to Force choke someone by the end. Like in a fit of stress and duress let that dude have something. beyond maybe just having some info in his head which is what I'm assuming was the deal in a movie I aint seen.

Rogue One is the most overrated Star War, and Solo is the most underrated. Mandalorian is good, but I wish The Child had a name or his species had a name, so people didn't call him Baby Yoda, because I keep encountering people who are confused and think it's a prequel. The Ape of Naples posted:let that dude have something. beyond maybe just having some info in his head which is what I'm assuming was the deal in a movie I aint seen. This is all it is, and being built by Vader never comes up in any movie after Phantom Menace.

It's especially weird when you consider the ridiculous amount of detail they wrote into every other character's backstory in the old Star Wars expanded universe but George Lucas allegedly made it a rule that Yoda's species or home planet would never be revealed.

The droids are the biggest plot hole in the Star Wars movies and it's an entirely self-inflicted wound. Lucas didn't have to make C3PO Anakin's maker project, but doing that screwed up a bunch of later character arcs. It's no use trying to make sense of it. rydiafan posted:Rogue One is the most overrated Star War, and Solo is the most underrated. I only ever watch the last 30 minutes of Rogue One, but I've watched that a dozen times. It's the best half hour of Star Wars ever filmed. Solo though...it just seemed boring. I honestly can't recall the plot line. It wasn't bad, but it was meh.

I really just want it to be very significant or conversely just a 10 minute sketch where 3PO is some how doing unintentional slap-stick force things while constantly embarrassed and apologizing. Like a Marx Bros sketch. I get that droids can't use the force and I know someone will post the one EU book that was not canon about a jedi droid. But still. Everyone loves R2 and he's some deep secret Rebel the whole time but C-3PO was at least was made by Anakin. Maybe at least have his force ghost version waddle into some deep moment with all the dead Jedi.

Krispy Wafer posted:Solo though...it just seemed boring. I honestly can't recall the plot line. It wasn't bad, but it was meh. Solo never really had a chance to be good, they started filming in January with original directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (who directed 21 Jump Street and The Lego Movie) but booted them out in June (just three and a half weeks before filming was scheduled to end) and brought in Ron Howard to direct the rest and do reshoots. The also booted out the original editor Chris Dickens (Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, Slumdog Millionaire) at that point and replaced him with Pietro Scalia (JFK, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2, Prometheus). So for 90% of the principal filming it was shot as a comedy film set in the SW universe, then they brought in Richie goddamn Cunningham to dial all that back and turn it into a scifi action heist with comedy elements. It's no wonder it turned into a forgettable beige atonal mess. I guess the upside of all that is that it gave Lord & Miller a whole lot more free time to spend on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse which they co-produced and Lord co-wrote.
