galagazombie posted:I actually kinda thought Finn had a good character and arc in TFA (the only one besides Kylo). He's a grunt, see's some serious poo poo on his first mission and realizes he wants no part of this, tries to run away from it all, and finally realizes that you can't just put your head in the sand and let the world burn and that other people do indeed matter to you. One of the many things that make TLJ so aggravating is this entire arc is swept under the rug and Finn is exactly what he was at the start of TFA. The serious poo poo he sees can't have had that profound of an effect on him since he readily inflicts similarly serious poo poo on his fellow grunts while trying to escape. Logically the awakening he experiences as his comrade dies in his arms can only have been a lust for stormtrooper blood.

jivjov posted:That may have been true back before the canon reset...but the Story Group has been super big on how everything is of equal weight, continuity wise, now. Everything is of equal weight to the people who are aware that there is a story group and that they have assigned everything equal weight. To normal people, the films are the heaviest.

Covok posted:It's on makeup. He's a red Dathomorian Zabrak. It's just color that his species comes in. The old EU had this whole bullshit about Sith tattoos which led to really ridiculous poo poo in Legacy Comics, but Canon has it as just another species skin color. There's a guy on the jedi council in TPM with the same horns and stuff though. Maul was a very showy dude so putting on full dramatic makeup before fights and rooftop meetings seems right up his alley.

tino posted:The Finn/Rei relationship in TFA was a conspiracy to bait the social progressive and SJW types to get on the wagon, Episode IX will pull the rugs off their feet and Rei will come out as a submissive Nazi lover, because Kethleen Kennidy is master troll secret woman hater something something like that. Rey is Kathleen Kennedy's self-insert character she's not a troll she just has the hots for Adam Driver.

galagazombie posted:If the "It was just Dillios' making poo poo up" reading was true everyone wouldn't still be supermodels in speedo's who do things in slow-mo during the last scene. Plus theres the fact that you ignore the hypocrisy of the audience/creators. The world is full of people who vehemently hate "fascism" but support many of it's tenets. Or how people often say things like "While I personally am against throwing babies off cliffs you can't deny society would be better if we did it!" and other instances of Doublethink. Just because Snyder is not a fascist (I assume) and did not make 300 as such doesn't mean elements of it don't exist in the work. Snyder by his own admission was just making a movie about awesome dudes fighting orc ninjas with a vague historical tie-in, but that does't mean unspoken ideas/biases etc. don't influence a creators work. I doubt I would call it fascist, but the movie is definitely right-leaning. The Spartans don't do slow mo in the last scene. They're just oiled up men in their pants ready to go fight some monsters.

General Dog posted:Yeah, but once you've put that out there how do you make more Star Wars movies? Once that it's been established by the prequels (and reinforced by TLJ) that the (star) warring will always be cyclical and always be pointless, then what is there left to do but sit and spin? Do the prequels establish that? Anakin kills the guy who started all the wars for personal gain. Before that there were (said to be) thousands of years or peace.

General Dog posted:I think you can cut back and forth and have it be effective (as was the case in ESB and RoTJ and even TPM to a lesser extent), but it’s just too loving long and over the top either way. Wouldn't really make sense as they both really, really want to fight each other at that point. Winning is secondary to venting a decade of pent up frustrations.

Qui Gon was a loon and a cheat who was wrong at practically every turn. Obi Wan senses the phantom menace in the first two minutes and Qui Gon tells him to shut up and focus on bullying aliens and fighting robots.

Ingmar terdman posted:his future wife is the one that says this lol. Obi does chastise him like a child in front of her earlier though. They don't make an exception and pair them up, Obi Wan (a good lad who means well) puts his foot down and says he's going to do it regardless of what they think, because he made a promise to his idiot mentor. Short of locking him up in Jedi Jail (a real thing in the EU look it up) what was Yoda going to do to stop them? He repeats his official disapproval for the record and gets on with his life.

Mooey Cow posted:That's actually Obi-Wan giving a compliment; "Good call, my young Padawan". He says "Only in your mind, my very young apprentice" when Anakin thinks he's better than Yoda at lightsabering, and also some similar stuff when Anakin's trying to impress Padme by apparently exceeding their mandate early in the film. Anakin read it that way for sure.

Mace is too angry and too much a stickler for the letter of the law (rather than its spirit) to gently caress. He's clearly frustrated and doesn't understand why The Jedi Code isn't helping. Which is why Sheev found it so easy to manipulate him.

galagazombie posted:Deleted scene and all, but Qui-Gon takes Anakin to get it removed, and in the same scene are found by one of Darth Mauls little Probe Droids. That's also the reason for that awkward cut to them running to the ship in a panic, they're supposed to be trying to flee because they know the bad guys have tracked them down. As it is in the theatrical cut there's just this awkward jump from them casually leaving to them fleeing in terror toward the ship for no apparent reason. They had a bad feeling.
