Pyrus Malus posted:the one thing that confuses me is making a good action movie isn't hard because they literally have formulas for what works, so my hot take is the movie was intentionally bad because Disney wants to kill Star Wars - now that they've analyzed its success they can discard its bloated corpse to create their own space opera IP that is 100% geared towards merch sales, even more than the star war. John Carter's gonna smash the box office this time, I just know it.

Mymla posted:I wonder what would happen if they made film versions of the KOTOR games. They, especially KOTOR 2, have the potential to be either amazing movies or absolute trashfires, but nothing in between. They'd need to change so much to adapt it that they'd probably better off doing a loose reimagining with some of the same characters. I think it'd work better as a miniseries.

I would've thought TLJ at least would've been right up SMG's alley.  SuperMechagodzilla posted:And I’ve had some pretty good success so far. After the three-episode ‘pilot’, you can just watch 6, 10, 11, 13, and Book Of Boba 5. The resulting ‘movie’ is effectively just the chill adventures of Space Batman. Lmao skipping by far the best episode in the series (the krayt dragon one) in favour of the the egg eating one.

I think the character itself is fine (not funny but fine) - the problem for me is the performance. She plays like a pantomime sidekick or something from a theme park ride, there's nothing convincing about it at all.

Pook Good Mook posted:It could be Cobb Vanth That... could actually have worked really well. As far as I know he was one of the more popular Mando side characters, and the plot beats would feel a lot more natural coming from him. You'd just need an excuse to get him to Mos Espa, and presumably he'd be there to dismantle the crime ring rather than 'lead' it. Hell Boba could have been the antagonist, having taken over Jabba's crew and wanting to cling on to his scrap of power while Cobb tries to bring him down. That would have been much more interesting than the loving Pyke syndicate.

Basebf555 posted:There was just too much time wasted in those first two episodes because they needed that Boba in the desert story to justify why he's changed as a character. Basically an entire episode(i.e. half of each of the first two episodes) was dedicated to that and it's time that could've been very valuable for giving the actual main story room to breathe a little bit. I can't remember if it was 2, 3 or 4 but one of them is almost entirely spent in flashbacks. There's maybe five minutes of present day Boba.

The REAL Goobusters posted:Has disney talked about where they want to take these shows in the timeline? I feel like we haven't heard poo poo from the sequel trilogy side of things in years now. Is that just all done now? gently caress it why not just retcon them I just want them to continue the story rather than carry on meandering in the gaps between trilogies. TRoS left the series as a blank slate - everyone's dead or no longer relevant and the status quo is basically restored. They can do whatever the hell they want and take things in a million different directions. Hell, bring back some of the seeds Rian Johnson planted before JJ smashed it all up. Show us more kids discovering the force with no Jedi around to guide/kidnap them. Show us more of the war profiteering class. stev fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Feb 17, 2022 |

Favreau's never been a great writer or director. He was involved in Iron Man 1 and was incredibly lucky that it spawned one of the most lucrative media franchises of all time. Now Disney gives him everything and most of it ends up being mediocre or incredibly disappointing. He's not a good actor either.

Nah, I think Disney's goal is to have something new out for Star Wars, Marvel and Disney/Pixar fans every month - or as close to every month as possible. People do unsub from these services and wait for the next big content drop to resub, and they want to minimise the number of people doing that - so they do what it takes to avoid a gap in the schedule.

What I'd give to be 8 years old in the queue for Star Tours again. All the animatronics and poo poo was mind blowing. The ride was fine but the aesthetics surrounding it was incredible. I don't think I'd even seen all of the OT films at that point but it was just the best.

Can we get an answer from Disney as to where humans came from and how they successfully colonised like 70% of the galaxy? I don't care if they make it like a Stargate or Mass Effect Andromeda thing where they came from Earth, it just bugs me that no one ever addresses why one race lives everywhere and tends to be in charge. Like we know Rodians came from Rodia, Hutts from Hutta, Mon Calamari from Mon Cala. So where's Humana?

Basebf555 posted:I feel like "directing actors" as a concept really involves a whole bunch of different factors more so than like, a set of magic words you say to the actors that directs them towards a specific type of performance. So it's reductive to say that Lucas should've just focused more on directing the actors, as if that's a simple either/or choice that he made. Yeah but we were talking about the stuff that was bad about the PT, and the quality of performance that George got out of a group of very talented actors is high up on that list. If you removed the racist accents that also would've been different from the movie he wanted to make, doesn't mean it shouldn't happen.

Even when they got deepfake Luke "right" it still looked like someone had dragged and dropped a gif of his face onto a different head. There's no dimension to it and there are shots where the light and shadow between the face and neck don't match. It's terrible. I much prefer the straight up CG characters in Rogue One. They don't look real but they're a drat sight less off-putting and creepy.

When have they really catered to anti-prequel stuff? They filled in the main gap in that story by finishing Clone Wars and the new flagship show is basically a direct sequel to ROTS.

I accept that Abrams didn't like the prequels, but I just felt like Disney primarily wanted to tell the story that picks up after the original trilogy, and the prequels just weren't all that relevant to doing so.

I could very easily see them falling back to him again if another director, I dunno, attempts to make something that isn't pure nostalgia bait. TRoS made half what TFA made and a good chunk less than TLJ.
