It's also the plot of the videogame Metal Gear Solid 2 ("by recreating these precise events, we can recreate the person..."). I don't think it has to be funny, though - if he is obsessed with Vader (seems confirmed) then it's plausible he'd be obsessed with succeeding where he failed, turning a pure heart to the dark side or whatever. He'll presumably need an apprentice sooner or later. But it seems pretty unlikely.

Jack Gladney posted:Maybe if it sucks enough then the blockbuster model will fail and some original films will be made for once. icantfindaname posted:they're going to start making live action animes before they actually go back to original films. be careful what you wish for Who is they? Big Hollywood has been high on sequels since The Thin Man movies. Just in the past few years, in no particular order & off the top of my head, there are movies like Enter the Void, Beyond the Black Rainbow, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Birdman, Crimson Peak, The Fall, Gravity, Chappie, Prisoners, Nightcrawler, Interstellar, What We Do In the Shadows, and Avatar. There are tons of original films, but here ya'll are in the Star Wars 7 thread. Some of those movies even did pretty well.

wyoming posted:Yeah, to hell with coherent themes and interesting characters. That post was in response to someone saying "When wondering whether 8+9 will have flashbacks, keep in mind 1-6 did not use flashbacks." How the heck did you end up way over there? How does a flashback preclude coherency or interesting characters?

Wank posted:I love how the rifle Finn lugs around is basically "generic space laser rifle 1". Awful. It isn't like the original stormtrooper rifles were much to write home about. Even Han's pistol was just like a Mauser pistol with a nozzle thing on the end. They're uncivilized anyway.

It turns out the main squad in Rogue One was down there near the thermal exhaust port all along, holding it open with their bare hands so Luke could fire his missile before they die in the explosion.

AndyElusive posted:Didn't the dude just win his 5th Grammy from Star Wars thanks to his TFA score, making that his 23rd in total? Ya I'm sure he's real sick of this poo poo. I wasn't trying to insult him, just wondering. He's 85 and it's his 8th time sitting down to come up with jedi leitmotifs, thought it was plausible he's getting less interested in awards and money at that age. Interviews suggest he had somewhat of a reinvigoration with TFA though and did BFG after, though. Surprised to see that he has never watched a SW movie and he considers his scores for them fairly unremarkable, suppose that's just modesty.

Greedo: Jabba has no time for smugglers who drop their shipment at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser. Han: Even I get boarded sometimes. Do you think I had a choice? Narrator: He did. * flashback shows Han accidentally leaning onto the cargo release button while sweet-talking an alien babe, unaware *

Mantis42 posted:Its sad that an entire generation of filmmakers have grown up watching the Star Wars films, probably inspired by them to get into cinema in the first place, and yet they can't seem to do much than ape the original film. Episode 8 is looking good, though, so maybe there's hope. Well they spent the last 20 years seeing how the fans treat Star Wars movies that don't ape the original film, and Disney more or less said going back to the originals was the whole pitch of 7-9.

NTRabbit posted:That bit was interesting, the rest of the movie after it was poo poo and boring, and so was the sequel. It took the third one by a new director to dig any sort of interesting Star Trek out of the mire Abrams left it in. 1/3 seems about the going rate for goodness in the Trek franchise though.

Tender Bender posted:The funny thing is Luke sneaking into his sleeping nephew's room to read his mind is way more hosed up than a momentary temptation to kill baby Hitler, but no one is objecting to it and he doesn't seem to realize it either. Dunno, if the entire reason he is around his nephew is to mentor him and watch his mind for signs of turning evil, then going to watch his mind when he suspects he's turning evil doesn't seem all that egregious. Seems like the main point of Ben agreeing to have Luke around for the training.

Waffles Inc. posted:I mean, nah. Mind control and reading without consent is bad. It is bad and creepy every time it happens on screen Yeah, I guess I never considered it 'mind reading' as much as a sort of mood ring thing. Like Ben was giving off evil brainwaves but he couldn't see specific images, like Yoda sensing anger in Luke or whatever. But we know mind control is something Jedi regularly do elsewhere and like the first thing Rey does with her powers, and Snoke does weird mind stuff with Rey/Kylo, so maybe Luke really was watching his dreams like a TV. I don't remember how it's presented in TLJ super-well.

Maybe the forums need a giant scoreboard every thread and your name gets +1 points every time you win an argument or annoy the other person into quitting a conversation so we can separate the wheat from the chaff.porfiria posted:Also what you idiots are missing is that tauntauns, although stupid and smelly, are actually full-throated supporters of the Rebellion and all the ones we see in Empire are volunteers. I don't see what's wrong with carving up a dead one to sleep in. They don't show it in the film (maybe it was a deleted scene?), but before each mission an R2 unit talks to the tauntauns and they sign a waiver that they donate their bodies to the rebellion if they die on the mission and they stamp it with their paw.
