TPM is the best prequel. But it is also the least 'star wars'. AOTC went poo poo because Lucas started to pander to 'fans' (the worst people). This article in The Guardian, of all places, refers to how Star Wars fans don't like Star Wars- "true fans hate everything about Star Wars”. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/dec/14/myth-star-wars-force-awakens-heroic-legends

The biggest flaw of the movie is it doesn't set up the politics enough. It's a bit too not Lucas. Just the crawl isn't good enough. Also, it's basically "Ghostbusters 2" I wasn't completely digging it but then at a point in the third act realised that all I really want out of Star Wars is Han Solo and Chewbacca trying to beat the odds while infiltrating imperial bases. So I really liked it from that. Kylo Ren was really well done I thought. A good character and Driver did a great job. Loved seeing an incompetent Jedi. Rey is the loving best. Time to his the Kanja Club!

Hammerstein posted:The really interesting thing that will only be answered in 2017 is if there's more to Rey and her past and why she's so good at Force stuff. Cause if she does not have a history of training it would make Kylo the shittiest Sith ever. Pretty sure part of the point is that Kylo the shittiest Sith ever (he couldn't even beat off Finn - Kylo has never been properly tested like you need to to become a jedi). But also that Rey is exceptional

Disney should be making a stand alone Poe Dameron / Black Squadron movie. Forget about young Han / Boba Fett.

jivjov posted:Soundtrack question and comment. I seriously just cannot stop listening to the Jedi Steps track. Its amazing. But anyway, toward the end of the non-credits portion (before it segues into The Force Theme), the track suddenly goes a bit...darker. A higher horn fanfare with a lower note under it repeated a couple time. I'm reminded of bits of the Episode III soundtrack, and I'm wondering just how ominous Luke is supposed to be here... The soundtrack is better than I thought. I really like "The Starkiller". It kind of reminds me of the Gayenne Adagio from 2001/Aliens. Don't forget that when we see Luke that he is looking at a grave. Things are not perfect here

Rey's background has her having to understand how to dismantle Imperial and Rebel ships to literally be able to eat. Further, the better the thing she gets, the more food she gets. She has had a hardcore life or death apprenticeship into Imperial/Rebel mechanics. Further, the Force is best learnt in practice than by training. By having someone try to read her mind she would naturally try to fight against it. The surprise to both Rey and Kylo is that it actually works. She gains insight into the force by naturally trying to resist Kylo and the going ons show she is very powerful at the Force. I have to admit she is a bit TOO good a pilot - but, again, the series has shown that the act of piloting actually attunes you into the Force and Force users tend to be excellent pilots. Bongo Bill posted:People might think that she's a Mary Sue because she's a millennial who gets a job offer. Oh poo poo. Yeah, I can't explain that.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Maz runs a temple devoted to herself, and nobody is suspicious? Whoops! I thought this was really weird but don't quite get the connotation. Didn't think of the feudalism angle. Good call. Lucas wants this to be a myth about democracy but he royally hosed up by adding princesses/queens (or he didn't).

I took my five year old son to the movie. Before the movie his favourite character was Kylo Ren. Afterwards I asked him who his favourite character is and he said "still Kylo Ren". I asked him if he did any bad things. He said: 'yes he killed his father Han Solo'. I asked him that he knows Han Solo is my favourite character right? He said 'Yes! I know that'. Then I realised this is a weird movie as a father to take your son to. Especially when Kylo is their favourite character and they have no issue with him killing his father.

Raxivace posted:It's like David Lynch reinterpreted the Seinfeld theme. I mean, what is the deal with these Jedi robes? Are we farmers? I gotta tell ya, during my last visit to Tatooine I wasn't farming any moisture. And the sleeves. This might be why they don't let me gamble. Jedi magic tricks in my sleeve can carry a whole sabaac deck in each. Dum da dum Ya ever noticed how Yoda talks? The other day he says "try the blue milk.." So I did, and it was curdled way after its expired date! Disgusting! I said "Hey Yoda why'd ya make me drink it?" And he he said "...you should not because bad it is" Da dum dum I saw Yarael Poof fighting a sith the other day. Yeesh. Did he pick the wrong profession!? May as well just have a big sign - cut neck here to win. Did evolution make some mistakes on his planet or what? Wanna eat from the tallest tree? Use ya arms! Da da da dum

SuperMechagodzilla posted:TFA is fundamentally a synthesis of the previous two trilogies. The lessons of the prequels haunt the film: the Jedi were wrong, the Republic is bad, Vader is the true incarnation of God, etc. But nothing is produced through this synthesis. I think TFA is trying to present Kylo Ren is what is produced from that. Or perhaps in this new trilogy we will see the forces of the prequels being represented by Kylo (I want a lightsaber and rule the Galaxy!) against Luke representing the OT (No, those Jedi were wrong. The force is about rejecting weapons and being literal monks not warrior monks). As much as Disney seem to want to disown the prequels TFA is richer due to their existence.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:You're mixing up two different things here. I was thinking about this myself and you said it better here. Is John Boyega a better actor than Ewan McGregor? The answer is no but JJ gives Boyega so many great moments for you to like Finn. The way he gets up saying he is resistance. The BB-8 interaction. He gets character moments that make me on his side in a way I never was with prequel Kenobi. (Though I put that down to Jedi being boring unlikeable jerks as a deliberate decision). Is it dialogue or is it direction or just plain casting? The only people in the 3 PT movies I connect with are are Qui-Gonn and Sheev. In TFA it is Poe, Finn, Rey... Etc. Which makes TFA easier to revisit and a more enjoyable experience.

TFA is a silly, forgettable retread of a movie that is made great by some excellent and relatable performances with understandable motivations. The prequals are interesting, memorable, innovative movies ruined by completely terrible and unrelatable performances with mystifying motivations.

I felt a keen empathy for Product Manager Krennic. gently caress executives and senior management. gently caress those guys. Let me just show the CEO what I have achieved myself! loving COOs as well man. Just because you give me executive sponsorship it doesn't make it your project! Especially when I did things no one else would have done to make this happen. Christ. Were there issues in the release? Well, maybe internal ones that wouldn't affect the marketing effort. It doesn't make the process null and void.

Codependent Poster posted:I'd like to see an edit where they take out the evil things Krennic does so it looks like he's just trying to get proper credit for doing a good job and his bosses keep dicking him over. Man, when its crunch time and you have to crash the project to make a deadline you gotta do what you gotta do. Getting poo poo done and moving past the choice is better than sitting around discussing things. A bad decision that keeps the project moving is better than hesitation. I am going to get a Krennic bobblehead to put on my workstation. And gently caress those violent protestors that would try and stop a job creating government initiative. Think of the boost to the economy the Death Star project would have been.

Cnut the Great posted:Another aspect of the OT this movie weirdly undermines for no reason: This was actually my biggest problem with the movie as well. Especially why would Princess Leia (pre-ANH princess Leia) have gone to a war zone? They should have changed it to Vader loving poo poo up to just seeing the plans transmitted to a far away waiting ship as he slaughters the transmission operator - or something like that. I guess it can be explained that Leia has no idea Vader knows the plans are on the ship and she is just trying to bluff out of it. Though "I have traced the rebels spies to her", really Darth, "traced" them to her?
