Bottom Liner posted:Kylo obviously doesn't kill Leia and goes good by saving Rey (betraying Snoke). Luke gives her the cold shoulder so she turns to Kylo after seeing his flip. The trailer leads you to think it's the other way around but I guarantee that's what happens. Maybe Rey and Kylo just come to respect one another despite their differing religious and political views and end up a James Carville/Mary Matalin type power couple.

Sylink posted:This is the problem with most Disney movies/comic book movies. They take zero risks in any of the plots. Its like centrism but for cinema. I don't know if its Disney as much as it is the overall concept that every franchise has to be extended as long as it's profitable. Your heroes can't die, they can't retire, and they can't do something the audience will find unforgivable. This is why the MCU is never going to have the balls to adapt that storyline where Tony Stark is revealed to be a sex offender and the Avengers all have to decide whether to support him or not.

Yaws posted:The worst of the eight is Attack of the Clones. Not only is it the worst Star Wars, it's one of the worst big budget movies ever made. It's better than The Phantom Menace and The Force Awakens, and also about half of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's oeuvre.

It's definitely got its flaws- nobody puts in an especially good performance, it's ugly as sin- but I would just as soon watch Attack of the Clones five times in a row than sit through the Hobbit Trilogy again.

I don't understand why the Hobbit movies have avoided the level of notoriety that the Star Wars prequels have. They're really, really bad. Maybe people just felt too beaten down to even want to think about them after watching them.

FlamingLiberal posted:The prequels are the perfect example of why Lucas needed people around him to tell him no to certain ideas. I'm glad we got three auteurist Star Wars movies that are a bit shaggy. Maybe you appreciate them, maybe you don't, but we're not going to get another Star Wars that is such a pure, weird extension of its creator (as John Hodgman called it, "the pure, unfettered emanation of a deranged mind"). If you prefer the more manicured, focus grouped Star Wars, then good news- it's what we're going to get every year for the rest of our lives. Disney can play with X-Wings and Tie Fighters for forever, and it will be perfectly fun, but I'm glad there still exist these movies where you have an old man Jedi Master with a limp-dick lightsaber, and penis rhinos impaling vagina cats, and asthmatic lizard cyborgs, and Palpatine jizzing in his robes when he finds a new twink in Anakin.

The MSJ posted:Disney ignore the Prequels, except for all the times they market Prequel era stuff like another returning Clone Wars character in Rebels (and Rogue One), the new Clone Captain toys, and Battlefront 2 being introduced with a Naboo map (after players of the first EA Battlefront demand more PT content). We'll probably also see more of Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan.

viral spiral posted:You're right, Jar Jar Binks and Hayden Christensen (ahem, Anakin) are revered just like R2D2 and Luke Skywalker. I think "they're just okay/they're not that great" is a pretty widely held sentiment. "They're among the worst movies ever made and I wish they didn't exist" is not a mainstream sentiment.

thrawn527 posted:SMG has made this argument before, that it doesn't matter if it's technically not called Coruscant, it looks and acts AS Coruscant for the purposes of the movie, so for the audience, it being a city planet is a call back to the prequels. It is meant to evoke Coruscant, in appearance and in function, and this only works because we see Coruscant in the prequels. It's weird that they don't just blow up Coruscant. What's the point of blowing up a planet that looks like Coruscant, serves the same function as Coruscant, and that 95% of the audience is going to assume is Coruscant, but then establishing somewhere in the fine print of the new EU that actually no, it's not Coruscant? (If the planet that's destroyed is ever identified in the movie as Hosnian Prime, it's extremely fleeting). I guarantee when and if Coruscant comes back into play a vast majority of the audience is going to say "wait, wasn't that blown up?" What are they keeping Coruscant on the map for? I guess the story group came to them late in post production and said "actually guys, we still need Coruscant not blown up so the Resistance can search the old Senate building for Palpatine's gold in Episode XV."

I feel pretty confident that every planet, species, and background character that appeared onscreen and had a name under the old continuity still has the same name under the new continuity.

I can't remember, according to the EU did Palpatine gently caress? Don't tell me about Triclops from those kids books; those are of dubious canonicity. Did his obsession with creating life through unnatural means stem from some sort of genital malformation? After his confrontation with Mace Windu did his ballsack become more wrinkly or less wrinky?

Brother Entropy posted:it's boring because it's rushed, it's far more interested in speeding along to the next epic setpiece or OT callback than slowing down to provide a larger context for why anything is happening or characterizing any of its new cast(except kylo ren) As I think someone else hinted at, the fist 15 minutes we spend with Rey basically just going through her daily routine is easily the strongest stretch in the movie.

ImpAtom posted:It forces Finn and Rey to separate which they wouldn't clearly have much reason to do otherwise. Clearly Rey has some reason to seek out Luke, wouldn't having someone there to question her motives be a good thing? It feels kind of like the writers weren't sure how to cap off Finn's arc or his friendship with Rey so they just kind of punted.

Beeez posted:I don't think he necessarily was trying to kill Conan, and Antilles is an enemy and a traitor rather than just an incompetent subordinate. He's described as "obsessed" with finding Luke in the opening of ESB. There is absolutely a key difference between a guy who serves the Empire willingly and loyally because he has nothing left and has become part of the machine both figuratively and literally, and a guy who found out he actually does have a personal mission to pursue. I've always thought that, if not for Luke and Leia, Vader would've never tried to betray the Emperor. He would have just remained a part of the machine. In ESB he cares about finding the rebels because he wants to find Luke, I don't even think retribution for the Empire is that important to him at that point. Yeah, and I think Vader was probably kind of invigorated to find someone who could be a potential equal, even as a rival. Maybe especially as a rival. All he had to live for for years was his grudge against Obi-Wan, and I have to think that their confrontation was probably a huge letdown for him. It also makes me wonder what Palpatine was like during the Empire's apex, post Jedi purge. He seemed to live for corrupting and destroying the Jedi- that's what really brought him pleasure, taking control of the galaxy was almost incidental. With no more Jedi, I could easily see Palpatine settling into an existential malaise of sorts.

It's okay though because Han knew Leia was just playing hard to get (and that's canon!). C-3PO is a hero for stepping in
