And yeah, Chewie would come off to them like the Engineers would to us; I'd think they'd care about him more since he more resembles what they are used to while C3PO more resembles the invaders. Even C-3PO knows it's dumb as hell and tries not to play along because "it's against my programming to impersonate a deity" even though he's able to do it just fine.

I think my favorite detail about this is how yeah, he does make the kessel run fast enough to get them to their destination alive, but even right after the fact Chewie scoffs at him for lying about how fast they did it and he's not even saying he did it in under 12 parsecs (he admits to Chewie that it was done in 12 if you round down a bit) like he does in A New Hope and on top of that they only did it because they put LadyTron's brain into the Falcon's computer. So they managed to have him both make the kessel run in an exceptional way while still being completely full of poo poo when he's telling Luke and Obi-Wan about it.

Wheat Loaf posted:Maul didn't need to be kept around for the other movies but I think Dooku should have been in Episode I. Agreed, it would have been cool to have him around earlier since the seeds of Palpatine playing everyone against each other are planted in Episode I. By the time he and Obi-Wan meet he's already just telling them outright that they've been duped and is hesitant to even raise his hand against them at first. It kind of put them in a corner too because they needed him to be on screen with Anakin for a while but magically suddenly decide NOT to reveal any of the truth to him even to the point where it probably would have saved his life (Anakin's still at the point of errant force users being brought to trial rather than executed at this point in the story)

Timby posted:Abrams said that he and Terrio completely trashed Trevorrow's script when he was fired (and Trevorrow himself said that he intended Episode IX to heavily feature Leia), so... Yeah Leia being incapacitated/otherwise out of action for much of VIII and then having a major role in IX was being talked about shortly after Force Awakens came out. They're only going to be able to do that now with a lookalike actress or a new character filling in for whatever she was to be doing. When I saw The Last Jedi I assumed the way Holdo was introduced meant she was going to fulfill that role in episode IX but whelp. Speaking of Trevorrow we got around to seeing Jurassic World yesterday and wow, they made a flick worse than Jurassic Park 3.

SolarFire2 posted:Saw Solo finally. Thought it was alright, but the focus in this film, and Last Jedi, on those dice is very very strange. The dice are in one shot in A New Hope and never show up again, and these two movies treat them like they're a central linchpin of Han's character. I'm hearing this a lot and yeah, I don't get why the dice are suddenly important. Was there ever any old EU thing where they have some super important significance or something? You could say they gambled and lost by rolling so much footage of them in the new movies.

Wheat Loaf posted:The movie titles are no big deal. They're all fine. I think Attack of the Clones was the only time one was subject to wide ridicule, even it's not particularly bad. There was a lot of disappointment though that the title was Attack of the Clones and then the clone wars kind of don't really get underway until the movie's climax. A common sentiment I remember was that Attack of the Clones should have been episode 1.

Wheat Loaf posted:There's a tv series happening, which is going to be produced by Jon Favreau, but it's supposed to be set between ROTJ and TFA. This could be kind of cool depending on what they touch on in it. Maybe they could get Max Von Sydow back or some of those other folks that are in Force Awakens for like one second. Not that everything has to be connected, just I think Force Awakens more than a lot of these flicks have advertised and talked up stuff for the movie that ended up only popping up in some comics and tie-in novels. I don't see Disney remaking the prequel trilogy either as much as fans like to talk about it. At most there'll be another TV show, hell an Old Republic series could easily own - not even taking into account anything in the games they could just base it off those Tales of the Jedi comics where we first saw the 3,500 years before A New Hope era stuff. I don't know if I'd mind a "remake" of the prequels if they got the people who did the Clone Wars series to just make another awesome series though set like immediately after Revenge of the Sith or right before Phantom Menace or something.

Preston Waters posted:Anyway, to throw one more opinion onto the bonfire regarding Episode IX and the ST -- I really wish Rian Johnson or someone qualified who isn't JJ would have directed it. One poster said that TLJ made the ST seem schizophrenic, and while I feel that is untrue having watched them back to back recently, I really enjoyed the fact that TLJ set everything up to go in a new direction, and I'm afraid that won't be the case now with JJ Abrams at the helm again. If he doesn't move the story forward while being faithful to TLJ, it's going to be a massive dud. Agreed. Honestly I know it won't happen but with the way TLJ ends and Han/Luke/Leia gone anyway it'd be kind of awesome if IX had like a five or six year time jump or something. Otherwise I feel like Abrams is just going to reset everything a second time.

Wheat Loaf posted:I'm legitimately surprised they haven't announced that Rian Johnson's trilogy is cancelled yet because I'm still reasonably sure - not 100% guaranteed certain, but reasonably sure - that they will do that. Oh, well. I am probably making too early a guess; if it happens, it will probably happen next year. I imagine Disney (not Lucasfilm, obviously) will make a decision once they've had an opportunity to gauge the response to the first Episode IX trailer. Weren't they not even clear on whether or not his trilogy was meant to be a big deal EPISODES X/VI/XII thing or if it was just, like, three Star Wars movies from him or something? After how Solo performed I think that's a more important detail than we all thought it was previously. I do wonder what the plan even is for Episode IX. Like they the past two movies made huge efforts to reestablish the galactic order as a huge empire vs. plucky under supplied rebels. And then IX ended on such a note that like I wouldn't even mind if they just did a time jump. Same for whatever movies they do next I wouldn't mind if they just straight up jumped ahead thirty years or something. I like both Finn and Rey but Poe Dameron in Last Jedi was just dumb as hell.

Milkfred E. Moore posted:Hayden showing up and having a sit down with Kylo Ren could've been a neat scene in a well-thought-out ST. It wouldn't surprise me if they sneak it in in the third film but I genuinely don't think they'll 'canonize' the present PT in the ST so blatantly. They were playing with doing this in Force Awakens when Kylo meditates over Vader's helmet. The helmet's resting on the ashes of everyone they incinerate on each trip somewhere searching for the first Jedi temple. There was a lot of cool, like, this isn't TECHNICALLY formal Jedi or Sith kind of behavior but we all perceive the force so of course folks have various rituals and faiths and things they build up around it kind of stuff. Everyone on the lookout for Jedi/Sith artifacts was to be a part of that too, sort of like the relic "industry" in ancient Catholicism because after the events of Jedi/etc. it sinks in with folks at large again that oh poo poo the Force is for real real and not just a thing we talk about. Them exploring the Death Star II wreckage in this flick was something originally from Force Awakens too IIRC. It was going to open up with Finn having already deserted and flying through space stuff over Jakku before getting busted and crash landing since Ren's ship and complement were in the area. I liked Force Awakens and Last Jedi quite a bit but both wasted a lot of potential and that sucks.
