TFA was a good film and TLJ was a great one, unfortunately ROS was so apocalyptically bad that it retroactively soured the previous two movies. Kind of like how I was interested in playing the recent Mass Effect remaster, but couldn’t bring myself to since I knew where it all ended up. Disney we’re incredibly lucky they had The Mandalorian going at the same time or else Star Wars would be effectively dead now.

ROS is an entire trilogy crammed into one movie, making everything about it stupid. The whole thing has to take place in like six hours or something! How?!

LOL. and remember when ppl were LOLLing forever onlkine about how epic it was luke drank the blue slime? Bahahaha, star wars has done it again you beautiful bastards. gas

i think the black guy storm trooper defector was the coolest part of the movies and at first i remember sitting there drinking my pepsi or w/e in the theatre thinking hey this pretty sick, this will be a cool story about this affable dude. ive always wondered what a workaday dude in the empire was like and his heroes journey to revengeancing the empire for making him do all kids of bad poo poo and he can make cool friends and maybe become a jedi or something or maybe not? maybe just go kyle katarn style that would be badass. but then he got like 5 lines and was completely forsaken in the movies. what the hell?

Filoni has made several mistakes. Personally the worst one for me was how Clone Wars really failed to develop any meaningful relationships for Ahsoka beyond Anakin and Obi Wan until they brought her back for Season 7. It made the Wrong Jedi episodes extremely predictable because literally the only other person who could have been responsible for the attacks just so happens to be a character who hasn't had a supporting role since her introduction in season 2. I'm also not at all a fan of the Force Family episodes. Sam Witwer is a great Maul but I just hate the manifestations of the Force as an old wizard and his two anime children. Sam Witwer sounds like his testicles are in a vise grip.

Yeah Filoni and Co have made plenty of mistakes over the years with Clone Wars (what the hell was that movie?), Rebels, Resistance, etc. They just seem to have a better track record with live action Star Wars so far because they're not churning out 22 episodes a year and they're more experienced at it now... and also the Disney execs in charge of the theatrical movies poo poo the bed so hard in comparison

Didn't they turn the green Jedi with the hijab into a literal terrorist? That was certainly a choice.nine-gear crow posted:What did she do in the movie besides out one of the only three Hispanic men in the franchise as an ex-drug dealer?  Everyone posted:Though occasionally when they talk to each other, they're mostly talking to themselves - which is pretty much what was happening in both of the scenes you cited above. Kylo Ren was a person whose every loving relationship had become a source of pain and regret. He killed his own father, betrayed his uncle and sacrificed everything for Snoke, a guy he fully understands is just using him. He wants Rey to join him because that's the only way he sees himself getting any kind of good future. And he wants that future because that's the only way he can let go of a past that through his own actions has become a torment to him. Still, this then runs into what I've been recently calling the Doctor Strange Problem, where the dramatic confrontations between characters in a story don't actually end up having much to do with these characters' actual conflicts. (The protagonist of this film's main narrative conflict is that he has to learn to be less selfish, right? Mr. Strange has to learn humility. The problem is that the other characters then blab to him about just about everything under the sun except for that one important thing. Kaecilius is imploring Strange, practically weeping on the floor, to help him in his quest to defeat death, a notion that has absolutely nothing to do with Strange's character arc so of course Strange refuses this, and like of course he does. What does he care about that stuff? Then Mordo at one point is disgusted, utterly furious, that Strange won't kill their enemies and thinks there are other ways to defeat them, which is also a total non-issue for Strange's overall development. So the thematic content of the film ends up feeling very hollow because everyone is acting like they're in a different story than everyone else, no one is actually challenging Strange about things he actually cares about or tempting him with things he actually wants, like the recovery of his hands or perhaps fame and prestige. It's as if the villains of the piece, who are ostensibly Strange's dark mirrors, think that they're in a different movie than the one they're actually in, talking to a different character than they're actually talking to.) The reason that the Luke and Vader confrontation, and then the Luke and Emperor confrontation in the next film, both work and stand the test of time so well is because they are about Luke's actual motivations. They tempt Luke with things that he actually wants. They tease him for weaknesses that he is actually insecure about. When he loses to Vader in ESB, he's losing to his own insecurities. When he prevails against the two in RotJ, he prevails against himself. That sort of coherency simply doesn't exist in TLJ. Of course, it didn't quite happen in TFA either, but TFA also isn't grabbing the audience by their shoulders and demanding that they move past the OT. The simple question is: why would we want to? If you're demanding a revolution of the genre, then the brand shiny new thing that you're offering had dang well better be actually better than what we originally had, and TLJ simply doesn't cut it in this regard. Because yeah, Kylo Ren might as well be simply mumbling to himself when he talks to Rey; what he should have done was to tell Rey that she could save her friends if she joined with him, but he tells her the opposite: if she joins with him, they're all loving dead! The only things he offers that she would actually want are a sense of belonging and importance, but everything else he wants is the opposite of what she wants so of course she rejects him, and this rejection tells us nothing about her because the offer had nothing to do with her in the first place. The same thing happens with the grand epic Luke and Ren confrontation where, ostensibly, this should be about both characters confronting their past and overcoming their mistakes. Except that Luke only made his mistake because he was compelled by dark magic, and also Kylo Ren is only even bad because of this exact same nebulous dark side influence and no other reason so like...what the heck are they actually overcoming, here? "Sorry I tried to murder you in your sleep 'cuz The Force told me you'd be bad"? Nothing about Luke and Ben's relationship, about their past, about their future, changes regardless of who does what here because it was all compelled by vague Force nonsense in the first place instead of actual characterization; the backdrop for their relationship, for their antagonism here, was so ridiculous that you can't wring anything of note out of their actual showdown besides the fact that red salt is pretty. It's all incredibly weird writing; the only thing it depicts is a villain who doesn't actually have anything of worth to say to the heroes which, yeah, I guess that certainly does deviate from the Star Wars standard, except in a way that shows that deviating from the Star Wars standard has us ending up with something worse and less effective.

Amy Sedaris becoming one of my favorite star wars actors wasn't something I saw coming. *edit so I don't double post* I also really like the "15 year old who just got told he could drive his mom to the grocery store" body language after Peli tells him to start up the naboo fighter. He's like a home schooled adult just finding out about the world, like that weird nerd Daria briefly dated in the late 90's cartoon "Daria". I hope Omega introduces him to Dejarik and he develops a gambling addiction that old Lando has to help him with. Sekhmnet fucked around with this message at 11:45 on Jan 30, 2022 |

Penitent posted:The famous Jedi? They were morons, let's burn their dumb books! I don't really care about the sequels, we might as well burn the whole thing and forget they ever existed, but the jedi being absolute morons is key to the series. They engineered their own downfall by being complacent, arrogant, and completely oblivious to the problems that were right in front of them. They didn't give a poo poo about anything other than maintaining "order", they supported slavery, they ran a weird sexless cult, they kidnapped babies and turned them into child soldiers. If Palpatine hadn't been there they'd have found some other way to gently caress up their entire society because all it took for them to lose their poo poo was a group of planets wanting to leave the republic for completely justifiable reasons. AJAB. Luke should not take any lessons from the jedi other than "please be a nice person and maybe be measured in your use of the force".

Also, the Volume is actually a combination of a bunch of different tech that has just been combined this way for the first time. Like we already had the giant LED walls, virtual cameras connected to real ones that let you walk around a virtual set (recent films like Solo and the Clone Wars and Rebels cartoons did this so the cameraman can actually see the full digital environment and shoot it like it's real life instead of needing build it all in post), the Unreal engine for building sets, etc. It was just a matter of figuring out how to combine them.

BrianWilly posted:Didn't they turn the green Jedi with the hijab into a literal terrorist? That was certainly a choice. I'll agree with you mostly about Luke/Kylo. The biggest problem with them is that except for that one scene the entirety of their relationship took place off-screen. We know what each says about the other. This would have been a good opening for Rey to act as a kind of potential mediator, but she had to go around back and move some rocks with the Force. As far as Rey and Kylo are concerned the most interesting thing about them is the way that they're basically talking past each other. There's a little of No Exit in the way that each of them wants something from the other that that other is unwilling or unable to provide. Rey wants a real family to make up for her abandonment issues. She wants to bring Ben/Kylo back to the Light Side and then back to Luke and Leia who will then accept/adopt her into their family. Kylo wants Rey to be Veronica to his J.D. in the Star Wars: Heathers movie he's making in his mind. Honestly, the bit where Kylo kills Snoke and is rejected by Rey after their fighting with Snoke's bodyguards was great. It promised that we were going to see a different kind of villain. Kylo isn't a manipulator like Snoke, Palpatine or Vader. He doesn't really hunger for power or dominance. He doesn't care about ruling others, not really. He just craves validation for his choices and he wants the pain and regret to stop. A better opening to TRoS would have been Kylo listening to the Emperor nodding as needed and then when he got aboard one of the Dick-ISD, he uses to destroy Palpatine and his whole planet. And then starts going after Corellia. Tatooine, Endor, destroying them to try to cauterize his past. The Emperor as Mass Shooter.

The actors aren't going to be around forever and keeping the focus entirely on the same handful of effectively immortal characters is a great way to get stagnation (just look at the old EU for instance, or comic books in general) There are better ways to send them off. Perhaps Luke and Rey meet when they're pulled into some sort of strange Nexus and have to fight Darth McDowell.
