In the previous thread, someone posted a Lucas interview where he said verbatim that this line of thinking is why he had Maul cut in half so the audience knows he's dead and gone.

There's a billion "what if Darth Maul survived" hot takes in the EU but none about what if Mace Windu survived. THAT'S the poo poo I wanna see. Give me clueless Sam Jackson as a Jedi Hobo.

I could imagine like a pseudo-noir story of an amnesiac Windu running around, fighting dudes and having vague flashbacks he doesn't understand about being in the Jedi.

This is why Lucas felt the need to cut Darth Maul in half, you electrocute a man and throw him out a window that's 1000 stories high and people are still like, "Well, we don't know he's dead."

Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!


Maul was supposed to be dead. Vader wasn't supposed to be Luke's dad. Leia wasn't supposed to be Luke's Sister.

I actually like Maul's presence in The Clone Wars, dude actually gains a personality beyond "pace angrily and growl". Dude also gets some pretty sweet revenge on Kenobi.

That plot arc is agreeably bananas and fun. Right down to his brother taking force steroids and getting pumped. It's all completely bonkers and it happens after the show finds it's feet.

They take over black sun by throwing a double bladed lightsaber down a meeting table and cutting off 40 heads. It's great.

"This will begin to make things right" is the first line of spoken dialogue in STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, and I suppose that is true.

Get ready to hear this meme for the next decade.

As a cinema lover, I will be all too glad to say I was wrong about this film being a "meh" if it is indeed a good movie, but these reactions seem guarded to me.

The only person whose reaction isn't totally glowing so far is Devin Faraci's, who thought the plot was dumb. So don't get ahead of yourselves, y'all, you're not guaranteed to dig it.

Devin was pretty much always going to think the movie was dumb. I am sure he'll enjoy Episode VIII more since he really likes Rian Johnson (and I mean, who doesn't?)

I couldn't get tickets that suited my work schedule until the 23rd.

I just realised how loving long that'll be. While you nerds are watching and making GBS threads about the film I'll be rewatching the OT.

Guys I'm so hyped to be probably okay with the new Star Wars.

So. loving. Okay.

The real kicker is that I probably won't be seeing it for another week! Christmas is a loving horrible time to get time off work and do things you enjoy, like spending time with the family STAR WARS MOTHERFUCKER

I went to a midnight screening of Phantom Menace on my 19th birthday (which is drinking/adult age in my corner of the world) so I've been very hesitant about getting hyped but now suddenly I find myself looking to see if there is even a movie theatre on the island I'll be on for Christmas. And I bought Battlefront. wtf

None of the reviews on Twitter are particularly overwhelming. More like, "yeah! It was good!"

Which is pretty than "poo poo" obviously, but in premiere speak, it doesn't say much. Lower your expectations.
