To call these three movies a trilogy just seems a bit weird to me, like we're only doing that because its star wars and we know we're supposed to. With the prequels, after the second one everyone went back to see the little poo poo finally become Darth Vader as we all knew that was the point of the whole affair. I'm far too young and beautiful to know what the deal was with the original trilogy but I presume it was a more organic affair and franchises didn't need to sustain billion dollar companies for the next eternity anyway. With this lot though, its right another movie, to... er do what exactly? What story is getting finished off here? Especially given the chinese whisper style story telling between the first two. All the old people are dead, theres the sith school shooter, supergirl and the bumbling blokes to somehow put a lid on this centuries long story of galactic politics and warfare. Before we get some more. Probably with the same characters anyway. I don't think I like star wars.

Darth Maul is an alien anyway, why didn't they just say there was nothing important in his legs anyway and he grew them back.

glad she is dead posted:I had an argument with someone today who was annoyed at TLJ because "it didn't allow Luke Skywalker to be his true self". Now luke's dead we'll never get to see him pick up those power converters from Tosche Station (although of course its been swallowed up into the sprawl of niima outpost these days so probably not as much fun anyway).

Question Friend posted:Just watched the original fight and auralnauts didn't loop it in FFC I dunno what FFC is but I googled auralnauts and in 'jedi dance fight' they both loop and replay after a quick cutaway the spinning light sabre scene. In the film you can count obi wan's light sabre making 4 distinct trips behind his back, in 'jedi dance fight' during the first showing of the clip, his light sabre travels behind his back 9 times. I used youtube's 0.25 speed setting to perform these observations, they cannot be questioned friend. In the film I still think it looks a bit daft, but no more so than when they actually contact with each other's light sabres as why not try to hit where the other guy's sword isn't although I am not an expert sword fighter and I guess you have to worry about the other guy hitting you as well so there's a balance to be struck between offence and defence I suppose. Anyway.

Do they have members as such? Is alt right not more like a political/behavioural position rather than an actual club with fees and membership cards? Like the difference between sith and the dark side, I think alt right is just being on the dark side rather than being a sith. I dunno who is a sith.

Nah, I think snoke is an elderly darth maul once he'd got over that whole awkward, juvenile heavy make up and body modification phase. We've already seen him glue himself back together somehow once, so snoke will probably return in the next movie again.

It kinda makes sense that a bunch of horny jedi were setup in a jedi boarding school in the middle of nowhere with a useless jedi master that drove the school into the ground and 16 odd years later a genetically super jedi shows up on the same planet with no idea where her quickly disappearing parents had gone.

Ferrinus posted:This is beside the point of the amusing error with the red line that SMG found: The red line 'mistake' is actually easy to explain and maybe even adds a little I dunno characterisation or whatever. Since Coruscant had been blown up and their finances hugely depleted they had simply asked the nav computer (an eternally trapped sentient being) to recalculate the route avoiding toll routes.

Raccooon posted:In the PT, do they ever really explain how the Jedi temple is funded? Do they get money from the Republic for being ambassadors or something? The Jedi have no worshippers so where is that dough coming from? They're ancient so, a bit like the catholic church irl, they've got centuries of invested wealth and property. They're the richest land lords and capitalists in the galaxy. Like Yoda himself is how ever many hundreds of years old. He's loaded. The reason there's nobody else on Dagobah? Yoda owned it, it was his retirement planet. Whereas Luke has bugger all by his retirement and is in an assisted living nursing home.

^^^ Sure it does, he recognises its a middle of nowhere place. The fact he doesn't expound on the fact and have a nice conversation reminiscing with Rey about it, is both because his time there was horrible (everyone died) and he's being a generally unhelpful miserable git to her anyway. As someone else already said, its doing these movies a favour to consider these planets the same places with a name change, it makes the story more interesting and joined up. If you're picking the worse version of these movies just because some made up executives somewhere decided that they'll sell more tat that way, thats just sad.

jivjov posted:Why do you assume the mere presence of Tatooine or Coruscant would make the movie worse? I think you know why! Because their explicit appearance in such a way as to muddle the clear story we have from the existing movies, where coruscant was destroyed and tatooine was renamed jakku, would place us firmly in the hands of the story group, for whom story is very much secondary to marketing. These are not the people who I want to see making movie making decisions.
