If you need to go with an overrated big name, hell why not Villeneuve. If dune ends up being trash, you know he'll be available. noone has any experience making scifi because JJ has absorbed all franchises into himself

zer0spunk posted:I don't get why they don't go for directors with good sci-fi under their belt. Because the producers and executives hiring the director do not care about making a good movie or furthering the genre, they want to make money risk free and a director with enough pull to say no runs directly counter to that understanding.

Was just thinking about how all three of Anakin's children have sacrificial ends but Threepio is the only one who gets weirdly bullied into it

The sequel trilogy really doubled down on the lack of droid rights in the SW universe.

Speaking of threepio, did someone else do his red eye voice, or was that Daniels in a filter? Also, it's weird that red-eye threep says explicitly that they need the sith dagger, but then rey comes to this conclusion independently later on. Some wires got crossed there :v

I'm pretty sure at this point Anthony Daniels is allowed by contract to disembowel any other person who tries to voice C-3P0. He kept doing it anyway, so they wrote it in to save paperwork.

My favorite Anthony Daniels facts are that he gives poo poo to every actor on set who decides to do mocap instead of putting on a practical suit, and also that he apparently loving hated 3PO’s red arm for some arcane reason.

Marvel makes superhero movies, which occasionally use science fiction imagery. This isn't the same as science fiction.

The consensus-best Star Wars film was directed by someone with no sci-fi experience. What is the value of having worked in the same genre? There’s absolutely no demonstrable proof that that is helpful. In fact, the things that make the original films so good was the directors bringing a non-sci fi sensibility to the films. They hired JJ Abrams explicitly because of his custodianship of other sci fi properties and he made two massive turds.

To your point, famously, David Fincher turned down Episode 7 because he wanted to make it explicitly about droid slavery.

I wonder if Harrison's cameo was negotiated to get him into or out of Indy 5. Or if he just wanted a new plane to crash

That honestly sounds like both a fantastic and underexplored idea and also a terrible choice for a numbered movie. One of my favorite parts of the old Legends setting were the Tales From short story collections, though, so I'm kind of hoping they'll make a Black Mirror-esque series of high budget, self contained, hour long short stories.

KVeezy3 posted:The broader problem is the fethishization of the individual, similar to how people blame all of the post-Disney Star Wars problems on Kathleen Kennedy, which makes nearly irrelevant what director is hired for these films. Could even the original trilogy exist under the Disney mandates that have become increasingly clear? I have no idea what these words mean. The problem is that Disney has a corporate mandate? But also Kathleen Kennedy? Can you re-state this in another way? What is "the fetishization of the individual", and how is it a problem?

The fetishization is the belief that the key to fixing the sequel trilogy is to pick the "right" director, or "right" president of Lucas films. An example that prevents this possibility is the clear mandate to purge any semblance of political content from the films.

To be honest, I have trouble cohering TLJ's politics, so it would be helpful if someone could take the time explain them to me. Like what does Kylo stand for?

It's funny when they get directors who have their own special style and vision then gently caress them off for using their vision. I really can't imagine what a Waititi star war would be like
