Polo-Rican posted:The big issue with ROTS (and the PT in general, but mostly ROTS) is that the audience knows that Anakin's going to turn... The only question in the audience's mind is "what specifically is going to cause this guy to turn," but the answer is nothing surprising. You can't put a flash forward into a flashback and then flashback again.

The spinoffs will be rote paint-by-numbers (with branded Star Wars crayons) dross and eps 8 & 9 might try to do something with the material after 7 gets a mixed reception.

Electromax posted:If a Jedi falls from a high place, can he use the force to not die? I'm holding out hope that Ep. 8 opens with Luke revealing he's been chilling with Mace for 20 years on that island, talking with jedi ghosts and inventing new lightsaber colors. Luke would not chill with Mace Windu.

Phi230 posted:One reason why LOTR set design is superior is that it feels lived in. There is implied history and culture. There is a story to the set. You're quoting the making of documentaries. Which makes sense as you seem to expect all film to be documentary, with "realism" being more important than symbolism. Film is art, and should be interpreted not learned.

Electromax posted:I find it hard to interpret because stuff like LotR ghosts... are in the story the movie was based on, and it isn't clear who is comparing two stories and who is comparing two film trilogies. The ghosts don't function in nearly the same way in the books. In fact Peter Jackson changed huge swathes of the original story to make his films, and if you compare them side by side only a few of his scenes closely resemble the source material. Apart from the broadest of strokes of the narrative nothing was really considered "sacred" or outside his purview as director. Hopefully that makes comparing films a little easier for you.

Brainiac Five posted:It's an interesting inversion of the Sword in the Stone, which Arthur lost due to his unrighteous acts and had to replace with the pagan Excalibur, but here the sword itself is the unrighteous thing. I do think Luke will/should reject it. Everything contained in every Star Wars movie to date says that he can't/won't take it, so tbh the only interesting thing they can do at this point is have Luke grab it and start swinging away while making his own lightsaber noises.

Luke rejecting the lightsaber proves only that the filmmakers understand Star Wars. They saw Return of the Jedi. Bit deal, so did we. Luke taking up the lightsaber proves that the filmmakers understand story, making suddenly relevant the question a lot of people are already asking ("What happened to Luke?"). Only even better. What's happening to Luke?!?

Bongo Bill posted:Paratextual content such as commentary tracks and deleted scenes can provide insight that guides subsequent interpretation. It can equally mislead.

If I need to read a novel/comic book/script to understand a movie, that movie has failed. Luckily I don't, it hasn't, and Star Wars is good.

Marvel films (and superhero films in general) are considerably less complex and more predictable than your standard action movie. Even the most loudly celebrated outlier (Guardians of the Galaxy) in that subset of a genre is an identikit construction with a photoshop filter applied.

UmOk posted:I think maybe at the end of the Clone War Yoda discovered degobah and the hallucinogenic mushrooms that made him think he was talking to qui gon. Psychedelic drugs would explain his rapid deterioration into insanity. Then when Luke got to degobah he started eating them and eventually started to see dead people. You don't need drugs to get ptsd after years of war end with all your friends and colleagues dead. Some sort of mental breakdown is inevitable.
