WatermelonGun posted:the ewoks are fine yeah the "death star explosion killed all the ewoks!!!!!!!!" heterodoxy is simply not supported by the text. it's hours later and the rebels are celebrating on the forest moon with the ewoks. everyone's happy, there are no planetary wildfires. for whatever reason - tractor beams, deflector shields, mass shifting into hypserpsace, whatever - the explosion didn't kill the ewoks.

i'm genuinely curious what rian's thoughts were for ep 9. like aside from my snarky "lol rian made a whole star wars movie just to say 'kill your parents'" remarks there's also that bit in there about "this whole war is a sham, it's just to prop up the moneyed interests" and i want to know what he thought an appropriate resolution to that would have been

Donovan Trip posted:It's in the movie. Benicio is an answer to the romanticism of war in star wars, he isn't raising the question himself. He's a realist in a universe of idealogists. He's there to say ideologists are caught in a war of utilitarian tradition and faith that serves to make the nonfaithful rich, and the third act says the solution isn't revenge, dogma or institutions of religion. It's spirituality, love, and building something new because the fight is long over and the universe (just like the audience) doesn't care, outside of their nostalgia. okay but the space nazis are out there still raging, so what, the rest of the galaxy should just shrug and accept their domination?

i think ROTJ as it is could have worked better if it were, like, the fifth or sixth movie. i know george lucas used to claim that his original plan was for nine movies and the three sequels would have been way after ROTJ (and the prequels were supposed to be way further in the past too, and the robots were the only constant characters throughout all three trilogies) but i still think ROTJ would have been more powerful if it weren't leaning so hard on nostalgia tripping over a movie that only came out like six years prior (and which, while home video was not really widely accessible yet, was probably still occasionally getting screened on second-run theaters here and there) if they'd had at least one or two more movies' worth of adventures before revisiting tatooine and the death star, i think it would have been received better edit: alternately if you do the tatooine revisit in one of those intermediate movies then you can spend all of the last movie on luke/vader/emperor and taking down the empire

also if they'd done that then they could have built up more to show that the rebellion's been gaining momentum and more planets have been supporting the alliance (hence them now having a battle fleet that can go toe-to-toe with imperial star destroyers) and oh poo poo the empire really does need this fuckin' death star 2 but all that said i also understand ol' lukeass was gettin' a bit burned out even by ROTJ anyway (and lol there's no way harrison ford or alec guinness would have stuck around that many movies)

Hitlersaurus Christ posted:Word from behind the scenes (allegedly) is that D&D weren’t fired and actually left on good terms, and it’s more of a Netflix vs. Disney issue. LucasFilm hasn’t really shied away from the fact that they let people go in the past anyway, and if they were fired for the bad Q&A we wouldn’t have heard about it yet. not as funny as the fake script pages where a drunk han solo and a burned-out luke skywalker walk into a bar and wind up blinding a guy but god drat i cannot seem to loving find that on the internet

not sure if this got brought up in the thread previously but after coming out of the theater one of my friends mentioned "you know, they mentioned how the new empire has been going around the galaxy stealing children, presumably to crew up their death fleet... and they just all got blown the gently caress up." like this seems even darker than the "oh hey how many dudes were crewing the death star? how many of them were conscripts that never had a choice to be there?" notion

Cough Drop The Beat posted:Solo is probably the most boring movie I saw in 2018. It's so goddamn dull and the dude who plays young Han Solo has very little charisma or swagger like Harrison Ford. The plot has no stakes and almost nothing happens that matters. It's like the inverse of Rogue One. Donald Glover is kind of awesome as Lando but he's criminally underused in a very bad film. Solo's definitely not prequel level bad, but it's so forgettable and tedious to watch. Paint-by-the-numbers origin story poo poo but done so much worse than a Marvel origin story movie like Iron Man or Captain Marvel. I think the worst part about Solo is it's trying so hard to tell an origin story (multiple origin stories?) that really didn't need to be told. Like, goddamn, who the gently caress ever thought "man, nobody gets called Han SOLO, where did that come from??" Why does every Star Wars movie main character need to have been an incredible badass before the movies? I wouldn't put it past the shitheads who wrote Solo to think that there ought to be a movie where young Luke Skywalker uses his skyhopper to shoot down Tusken sky-pirates or some such bullshit.
