The funniest part of the sequels is how Leia and the libs managed to gently caress up so bad the space nazis came back within like 2 decades

They're the space USSR and the citizens of the galaxy prefer then to the rotten restored Republic

It's only when the space Nazis successfully infiltrated and couped the space USSR that anyone bothers to fight them

TLJ doesn't seem to have been cut up much, but there's some really obvious weird stuff in it (the magical disappearing knife, for example) apparently, a significant change was that it was poe and finn who were going to go to casino world. according to rian johnson, the two characters were 'too similar' (lol) and he invented rose. tbqh, that sounds like disney got cold feet because of finn/poe shipping memes (something which boyega and isaac have talked about trying to get into the film.) but if rose was a late invention, then holdo had to be as well. which explains why the whole mutiny plot is such a boring rip off of 33.

its genuinely baffling to me that they would make poe not dead because boyega and isaac had crazy good chemistry and then decide to just not have them interact at all in the second movie thus nullifying the only possible reason they could have had to let poe survive in the first place

Horizon Burning posted:

the controversy of them not making rey action figures was apparently because she didn't have a major role until everything was edited and reshot and she became the force sensitive protagonist and not finn.

the rest of the stuff is whatever but I don’t buy this even a little bit. Star Wars pumps out action figures for tertiary and quaternary characters all the time, her not having a major role doesn’t preclude them from making a figure for her. they would have had to add her character whole cloth in reshoots for me to believe this, and we know they didn’t

yeah one of the truly braindead decisions Johnson made. they were loving electric and everyone knew it. I want Boyega and Isaac to make their own romp, maybe a two hander like Tommy Boy or White Men Can’t Jump. or if you want some action, Men in Black

I’m not one to defend tlj or the creative decisions behind it much but that in particular, given the things rj has said and let slip in various interviews, was very much a result of disney panicking over gay shippers boosting finn x poe on every social media platform available and demanding finn get paired with a lady instead, since apparently it was Poe who came with Finn on his adventure to casino night zone in early drafts

are you sure about that? we know that the scene where the lightsaber 'calls' to rey and is a story for another time was a late reshoot (originally, the vision was shared by her and finn.) if we go back to the sledgehammer leaked synopsis, which we know is true, then finn and rey are about the same prominence and a lot of things change such as rey not pulling the lightsaber to her but finn throwing it to her.

my main question about The Matrix is why are there robots that go around shaving people and cutting their nails. there had to be robots because Neo had eyelashes when he woke up so there can’t be a chemical in the goo that stops hair growth (and similarly he had finger and toenails). why bother with all that

cool, that isn't what i said. there's enough proof to establish that she and finn were equivalent leads and that he was as force-sensitive as she was. the other stuff, which stems from before the previous bit, is that finn was the major protagonist with rey supporting. by the film we got, it's all been flipped. these changes presumably happened when harrison ford broke his leg and production halted for a time (which would link to the stuff from the sledgehammer synopsis saying that rey was his lost daughter, if they wanted to minimise his role in the film after the injury, and would conveniently link to the stuff in the novel like the "it is you" bit)

i know there's a whole culture war about these bad movies and people are really sensitive about the character but disney was cutting and editing these films to such an extent that they barred people from talking about the process as they had for every other star wars film. probably because if people figured out that boyega had a prominent role that was whittled down to nothing as early as TFA it'd be a different story to The First Ever Female Jedi.

ok, and in that case they still should have made an action figure for her and didn’t neglect it because she wasn’t a main character. I don’t know what point you’re trying to argue
