So I guess we can just assume that anyone who's not a character in one of the OT movies is going to die, right? I mean, it's not like the Star Wars Galaxy is big enough for people just to go their own way and never be seen again.

BigglesSWE posted:Seen Solo twice now. I actually think it’s pretty good, warts and all. There are some very awkward editing at times but I’ve seen much worse. If you want to know more about Han Solo there are a few other movies you can check out.

exquisite tea posted:My idea for a sequel: A few years following the events of the first film, Han and Chewie happen upon a desert farmboy and an old jedi monk seeking passage to Alderaan, which sets them on a rip-roaring adventure of galactic importance. lmao that sounds dumb as hell.

I enjoyed the new movies for what they are but I feel like if they really didn't want to do anything with the old characters other than poo poo on their legacy and anything they accomplished in the OT they should have just set the movies a hundred years later or something. You could still bring back force ghost Luke and Yoda if you needed, maybe have Chewie all gray in a Kashyyk nursing home or whatever. I loved how much fun Hamill seemed to be having in the role but other than that it seemed like a complete waste.

remusclaw posted:Star Wars, without the EU, felt like a closed story. The prequels, for all their faults, didn't gently caress that up. The EU and the sequel movies however take what could easily be read as a happily ever after ending and pick up years later after the good guys completely failed to follow up constructively on their victory. It takes the movies everyone loves, and says, all of this amounted to jack poo poo. This is probably why even though I actually like all of these movies more than I like the prequels, I feel like they hurt the originals more. Yeah but EU fans at least got to experience their heros doing more heroic poo poo for awhile. Instead of the OT trio just becoming massive fuckups who couldn't manage to get a single thing right after ROTJ.

remusclaw posted:Yeah I added a light caveat to my EU statement in an edit. You could just ignore them too if you wanted because it wasn't like they were ever going to get more that the most cursory reference in the movies, so it really couldn't hurt things that much, even with all the dumb poo poo they did in the New Jedi Order run of books. Yeah, even my gf who was obsessed with the books and felt "betrayed" by the new movies generally stopped reading them after NJO I think. I've read the first Zahn book and that was enough for me. Something about the way they're written is just obnoxious and I have zero desire to read on. I will give them credit for crafting a credible threat to the OT heroes so that they could be challenged and have to overcome an enemy without making them incompetent morons, at least in that first book.

The only thing those audience reactions show is that movie audiences are quite stupid and easily swayed by even satirical propaganda.

Hemingway To Go! posted:So is PewDiePie following alt righters and calls for the death of the Jews repeatedly as jokes a lower level than saying Brie Larson's statements were actually right but could have been said better or that in general representation is a good thing but sometimes is deployed cynically or is it a really funny joke involving serious topics, the kind PewDiePie himself tells I don't disagree with your point but Brie's comments were fine and pathetic white men need way thicker skin ffs

YaketySass posted:They're nowhere near as bad as the menagerie of Youtube idiots but boy do they like reminding you that minorities can identify with a white male protagonist just fine and diverse casting is therefore just a marketing gimmick. While I think there's plenty of valid points to be made about the crass commercialization of "wokeness/feminism/et al" I have yet to hear criticism from white men on the subject that was any good and you know what maybe it's not really the place of white men to loudly complain about it.

s.i.r.e. posted:Who said they make good speeches either? Hollywood is filled with shallow white people, news at 11. If someone's giving a speech, they should have some charisma and eloquence so they don't sound like Brie Larson who came off as up her own rear end. Her words were fine, you might need to check your brain because it's about twenty feet up your tremendous rear end.

“[Audiences] are not allowed enough chances to read public discourse on these films by the people that the films were made for. I do not need a 40-year-old white dude to tell me what didn’t work for him about ‘[A] Wrinkle in Time.’ It wasn’t made for him. I want to know what it meant to women of color, to biracial women, to teen women of color, to teens that are biracial." This is less stupid than anything you have said in this conversation.

Speaking of I tried to watch Solo because it's on Netflix and uh. I thought it started out okay. The 'solo' thing didn't really bother me. But then I got to the guy saying "luck's got nothing to do with it!" and then the Chewbacca scene where the goober they had playing Han starts "speaking Wookiee" and I had to turn it off. Not for me.

Daddy Thanos posted:There's nothing wrong with a well-done cheeseburger Yeah it's really dependent on the cut of meat, a well done hamburger is fine and can be quite good. Now someone that goes out to a fancy steak house and orders their cuts of meat well done...  But you know what, even those people have a place because you gotta have something to do with the lovely cuts of meat, and guess who gets those? I think I got totally lost with this analogy though.

The only EU books I ever read were these two books where Mara Jade teams up with four Stormtrooper deserters and they were way more interesting than anything they've done with Finn so far.

The United States posted:Cumberbatch was clearly intended to be Joachim, he even looks like him, and Khan was going to be someone else in the background set up as a future villain (probably why they were trying to get Benicio Del Toro: to continue the fine tradition of casting actors from Mexico with fabulous hair as Khan), but at some point someone said gently caress it and just made Dr. Strange into Khan. If they were going to just rehash some og poo poo I don't see why they didn't just cast him as Gary Mitchell and do a big budget version of that story. Add in the section 31 stuff if you must, it still works with them wanting to weaponize Mitchell's growing powers or whatever. Bonus, now you don't have to whitewash anyone! But Khan!
