Trollologist posted:I have a pet theory that Rian Johnson wrote a pretty loving good Star Wars movie that was butchered by Studio meddling. Evidence is as follows: I'm going to also throw out a few thoughts in this regard, too, but I'm going to reference some odd recollections of the past. Back a few years ago there was this huge 'GOTCHA!' moment in the Youtube circuit of reviewers to further go after Johnson and TLJ by pointing out a comment that he'd made somewhere along the lines of how, "I wrote TLJ before TFA even came out..." This I think the context was something about audience reception to TFA and how it affected the development of The Last Jedi. It was this big idea that started to generate that a lot of people were nerd raging on as, "SEE! SEE! HE has no idea what he's doing! He wrote his own movie and just threw the Star Wars name on it! He hadn't even seen the previous Star Wars movie before he wrote his! It wasn't even done yet! He hates Star Wars!" BUT, this wasn't a newsflash. Cut back to 12/2015... Kath Kennedy in Variety the month The Force Awakens is released posted:Even Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy doesn’t have all the answers. “We haven’t mapped out every single detail yet,” she said of the plots for the three sequels. “But obviously everybody’s talking to one other and working together … that collaboration is going to guarantee that everybody’s got a say in how we move forward with this.” I have sort of my own alternate theory of the crime, which gets to the italicized section and some of the bolded section. That being that Disney likely had the JJ-Roadmap when they started production and were moving along with Episode 7, starting to hire people for future episodes, etc. But it wasn't definite and set in stone, especially how JJ wasn't obviously going to becoming back for the next two movies, it would seem. So, Rian comes in and he's given a look at the roadmap, and he's probably also having to do a lot of the collaboration talk that everyone is getting their say. My assumption is that he sees where Disney might be wanting to take the franchise for this trilogy and given Disney's rumored talk at the time of Episodes 10-12, and he makes an alternate pitch for a direction that's going to set the board up for that fourth trilogy. This possibly involves steamrolling through and rewriting things Disney thought they might do over Eps 8-9, 10, etc... and shove them all into Episode 8, so that potentially they can spend Episode 9 crafting stuff to set the stage for Episode 10-12 and any future films. The journey and the means isn't important, so long as the outcomes are the same: We'll still have a dead/lovely Luke (but different), we'll still have a dead Snoke (maybe betrayed sooner), we'll still have Kylo try to reach out to Rey (but let's do it here, first.) An example of this as we've seen it play out could be even the space fuel subplot. A big plot point in Episode 8, a big plot in the Solo film that comes after it. Maybe people looking over one another's shoulders saying, "Yeah, that's a thing we can use..." I think the blame is on all sides: He's writing the movie, but he's probably getting Disney giving approval of his wacky new ideas or he's obviously building upon some aspects of their predetermined roadmap, even if he's planning on deviating from it.

I think they lacked a unified vision of someone who was comfortable having the story not follow fan "expectations" and the only blueprint disney had were either out of date, reliant on single authorial vision, or marvel and none were right a series of bad films got made.

No Mods No Masters posted:The thing with KOTOR2 esque ideas is as soon as you postulate the star wars are an infinite cycle, it prompts the audience to want the characters to try to change things to stop the cycle (lol) or else it renders everything that happens completely pointless. It's probably no coincidence that having space benicio turn to the camera and explain no one should give a poo poo about star wars, coincided with vast amounts of people stopping giving a poo poo about star wars. Ironically, destroying the force would be both the best thing for the people in the universe and the worst thing that could happen to the franchise.

Johnson's one complaint about his time with Disney was that they wouldn't hold any test screenings for TLJ (I'm assuming the same of the other two) and so they never really got to see what worked and what didn't until it came out. Anyway, is Lady Gaga the most annoying actress? Let's check the tapes. https://twitter.com/leo__azul/status/1486947731239276549?t=NeptMrRi3abQTdH1EVOPDA&s=19

Lmao I just watched the Mandalorian episode of Boba Fett (who doesn't appear once in the entire episode) They very obviously spent 90% of their budget on this episode lol My favorite part was when Mando looks at the camera and says "wizard". I'm not making this up this actually happens

Quantum of Phallus posted:anyone watching any movies today For Christmas my wife got me this IMDB poster with the top 100 user voted movies on it. It's a scratch off poster, so you can mark it off as you go through. We decided to watch or rewatch everything on the poster (except for "American Beauty", we both watched that film already once in our life, and we're not going to rewatch a movie where Kevin Spacey wants to gently caress a teenager). We're doing one a weekend, and watching them in a random order. We started with Casablanca, last week was North by Northwest, and tonight will be Once Upon a Time in America. It's top 100 user submitted ratings, so there's stuff on there like Joker that I'm not looking forward to at all. There's also some anime in there like "Your Name" that my wife is dreading (I've never seen it either). So AGH might like this poster since it contains sex pervert films.
