Oh man if "Scherzo for X Wings" is even half as good as "Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra" we're in loving business.

CJ posted:How was the music? Are there tracks that will be as iconic as Duel of the Fates or Binary Sunset? I just listened to the soundtrack, and there's nothing on there that really scream "you will be humming this/instantly remembering this forever" but there are some highlights that might work better for me in context

cargohills posted:Travel didn't exactly take long in the previous films either. They had time to play space chess and do lightsaber training on the way from Tatooine to Alderaan. From what I'm hearing, the quick pace might be the one thing I don't love about this movie. ANH and ESB had lots of time to breathe.

Darko posted:Speaking of soundtracks, and while it's still up - Rey's motiff is excellent and constantly used in the film (watch before it's taken down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVw_oV-jLXw) Across the Stars was a lot like his earlier works too, but I agree with you. This soundtrack isn't hummable but it's REALLY good. Reminds me a lot of his Prisoner of Azkaban soundtrack (criminally underrated)

enraged_camel posted:It fired once, and then was about to fire a second time though. Which suggests that it could travel (unless that particular star system had two suns, which I guess is possible). I had assumed that it used 50% of the sun for the first shot, and the other 50% for the second. But your explanation is as good as mine, because it's fantasy, and whatever mental gaps we (as the audience) need to fill to satiate our technical suspension of disbelief is a ok

TheMaestroso posted:It really is - it has a whole lot of potential for future development, too. In fact, the whole soundtrack is beautifully written and orchestrated. Having the themes be more subtle and in the background is more of a result of where Williams' style has gone in the past 15-20 years and less of the "not as good as he used to be" sentiment I've seen thrown around. If you listen, you can find plenty of the thematic writing that's true to Star Wars. Exactly. It's high up there on my personal Williams list \/ a female Jedi hero and 2 gay sidekicks, you mean. (They won't have the balls to follow through on this, but it would be p awesome) aBagorn fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Dec 23, 2015 |

ShineDog posted:I feel there's some discussion to have about lit every member of the order other than snoke being appearing under 35. Too young to really have lived under the empire. I think that's the point. Like Kylo, they're essentially cosplaying the Empire as "more extreme"

So apparently Disney goofed and (potentially) spoiled Rey's lineage in their Infinity 3.0 video game. Take with many grains of salt -also I'm not going to spoiler tag it since it's still technically speculation http://comicbook.com/2015/12/24/reys-identity-possibly-revealed-in-star-wars-the-force-awakens-d/ quote:...Kylo Ren seems to shout at Rey to "Face me, cousin!"

Apparently (according to the rest of the Internet) Kylo is saying "Curses!" and not "Cousin!" in that clip, so Rey's lineage is not confirmed.

Avalanche posted:2) Angry old nerds are realizing they are no longer the target demographic and this just makes them older and angrier. There are no late 30s-40s characters in the film so no LARPING to be had. I don't care if I'm the wrong age/gender, I'm totally cosplaying as Rey from now own

This scene is probably going to wreck me. (this image is huge)  e: Milky Moor posted:Semi-related to the above image. First thing Luke does when Rey hands him his saber is hurl it off the island, hahaha. Yeah that's going to either be unintentionally hilarious or heartbreaking. Gonna depend on how it plays. aBagorn fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Dec 9, 2017 |

Ok we’re doing these again. ESB -> TLJ -> TPM -> ROTJ -> ANH -> AOTC -> R1 -> ROTS -> TFA That TPM to R1 middle bit is very in flux

Fart City posted:There's some thinkpiece out there that claims the ideal way to introduce new people to Star Wars is to show them ANH and ESB to preserve the father reveal, and then watch AOTC and ROTS to elaborate on the relationship between Obi-Wan and Vader and contextualize the reveal in ESB, and then close out with ROTJ. TPM is left out because a lot of it is completely superfluous to the greater narrative. This is Machete Order. I introduced my son to it this way, but kept in TPM because TPM is good. It also makes sense because (sequel trilogy notwithstanding) it preserves the best ending while also maintaining the most accessible entry point. e: \/ yes. 4 5 1 2 3 6 aBagorn fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Mar 4, 2018 |

Speed Racer owns. Jupiter Ascending was surprisingly well done. Netflix, but sense8 was pretty amazingly crafted. It's me. I'm the one that likes the Wachowskis e: euphronius posted:JA was the worst movie I've ever seen 1. It was gorgeous and some of the shots were really composited well 2. It's worth watching for Giacchino's score alone. I actually only watched it after listening to the score and wanting to know how the score interacted with the movie. aBagorn fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Mar 16, 2018 |

Luke owns slaves. Luke is still a decent person and a worthy protagonist. These ideas are not mutually exclusive, and the mental knot tying happening because you think they are is really a sight to behold.
