I think he is gonna be a ghost or something visiting kylo or some poo poo. i don't even hate this poo poo that much since the old canon did before and it was dumb and amusing then. i mean in the old canon he died when he was shot in the gut by han solo and his soul was absorbed by a dying amputee.

Kuato posted:They should do a movie about darth Vader but it’s the final scene from rogue one and it composes the majority of the movie. honest to god if i rewrote rogue one. id cut dad planet out and move dad to bahama world. than have the rebels start winning until "oh gently caress, vader and the fleet showed up" and the rebels start getting decimated. vader lands and slowly moves his way toward the protags. maybe donnie yen manages to force shut a door to keep vader out for bit. than girl lady beams the plans off like a second before vader kills her. plans go to leia ship and you see that fly away or some poo poo. id also make the characters actual characters but whatever.

FilthyImp posted:Oh god. With Palpatine being so prominent in the advertising, I realized that Abrams totally was going to have it be that Snoke was Palps somehow until TLJ killed it idk. i feel like that would be too much planning for any of these guys. i will still say the one thing i genuinly did love in TLJ despite all the other poo poo was that snoke was just some dumb fucker with for powers leading a bunch kids of space facists around by the nose because in the world of the blind, the one eyed man is king. much like kylo wants to be vader, snoke wants to be palpatine but bigger but just like kylo makes for a poor vader, snoke makes for a dumber sheeve and gets wrecked.

i agree with everything but this. Kylo never changes really, he just switches from "being the best edgelord sith man ever" to "gently caress it burn it all down because I got hosed in the past and i refuse to learn from mistakes, so i am just gonna erase it". he is still a darkside monster, he is just his own monster now instead of snokes. rey comes to terms with her past and is able to move on from it, kylo can't which is why he just projects.

Just Chamber posted:Also John Boyega dislikes The Last Jedi now. i mean again, i dont loving blame him at all. like despite what dumbshit "woke" twitter critics say, finn and roses arcs were the worst part of the loving movie. like yeah i get what rian was trying to do thematically but it just doesn't work well at all story wise. also i love that said critics are now turning on john for speaking the truth. good on him.

Yolomon Wayne posted:Actually *watched* TFA for the first time a couple of days ago, but what severely puts me off is the amount of, i dont know how to put it, "cool" behaviour of the characters. i see what you mean, but poe and finn are explainable enough. poe is a hot shot pilot/commando and thats his whole personality, finn being basicaly a blank slate who is also scared shitless, copies him hard because he wants to sound like he isnt losing his poo poo. finn is projecting and han calls him out on it a bunch.

Blistex posted:The Mandalorian was another recycled western, but the Star Wars veneer makes me think I'm watching original content, and I'm fine with that. Bill Burr was really good at playing Bill Burr, as was Richard Ayoade (who didn't make it through the first sentence before I pickup up on it). Baby Yoda continues to be way too cute, and I'm hoping that Werner Hertzog has some sort of return for the last episode(s) so that we have some idea what BY was to be used for. because star wars doesnt need to be deep. its space fantasy mixed with WW2, samurai and westerns. mandalorians good because its basicaly a western/samurai jack in space and he and baby yoda gently caress around from port to port making money and looking for a place to lie low and have weird adventures. it also sets up the universe post endor really well.

Blistex posted:/\ Did anyone ever find any "proof" that Snoke was supposed to make it to the end of the trilogy and be the main antagonist? Palpatine seems to be a tacked-on hail Mary play to win back fans. sheeve is a tacked on hail mary. there was some intevew that came out a few days ago with ian mcdermid and he basicaly said they called him up one day after tlj and asked if he wanted to give it another go. Chomp8645 posted:Even in Nu-canon the Empire didn't immediately collapse after Endor. I don't know how long it's supposed to be between Endor and Jakku but the Empire is supposed to intact and mostly stable until at least that point. sorta. basicaly most of the high command die at endor and the big fleet remnants get hosed up at jakku because of sheeves mad king bullshit. a bunch flee off to uknown regions and a ton throw down their weapons and join the senate and gently caress it up from the inside. also the mandalorian shows the empire sorta exists in bits and pieces in the outer rim. Owlbear Camus posted:I would assume most of them are leftovers who were serving under whatever General or Admiral or Moff decided to be Warlord of their little piece of the pie after it crumbled post-Endor. old canon was full of that poo poo. the empire goes on for like another 10 or so years in different factions and such.

Julius CSAR posted:I mean, even as a kid watching ROTJ, far before even the prequels, I always had that "I didn't personally see that motherfucker die, he still around for sure." feeling about the Emperor. Also hasn't it been long established in both the old cannon and new cannon that Palpatine was adamant that there would be no one to succeed him and that if he wasn't immortal the Empire should die with him? Even in "Empire" Vader tells Luke that they're going to kill the Emperor and "rule the Galaxy as father and son" which I always took to mean Vader knew about the plans for Operation Cinder and understood that the only way he would be alive after the Emperor died was to kill the creepy old bastard first. yeah. basicaly in old canon he floats off to byss and slowly starts building a stronger leaner empire and lets the chaff kill each other than comes back and fucks around and than gets smoked by han solo and his soul absorbed by a dying quadruple amputee. new canon. he basically sets up a contingency that when/if he dies/killed, the empire will loving kill itself and take the rebels with them.

TheIncredulousHulk posted:I really loving hate the idea of Sheev having a "contingency plan" if that is how it ends up being framed. Like the entire loving point on both a material and thematic level of the final confrontation in Jedi is that Sheev eats poo poo and dies because he's too selfish and cynical to plan for a scenario in which Luke refuses to play ball and convinces Vader to do the same. He's so high on his own evil farts it legit never crosses his mind i dont think its specifically about sheeve dying at endor. i think it was something he set up like years and years before as a deadman switch in case he ever died of old age or some rebel or imperial blew his brains out on the toilet or some jedi got lucky, or he fell down some stairs.

Him being bitter old man is loving fine. like i get what johnson was going for and i like luke for the most part in the movie. the whole "maybe i should kill my nephew" thread could be tweaked out better but i genuinly loved the whole finalle with him and kylo and it felt every in lukes character to trick the stupid fucker. skasion posted:It just kind of rehashes his transition from killer to peacemaker that the original movies already did. at the same time it portrays him as a dogmatist obsessed with old Jedi teachings, whereas in the original movies he’s the guy who clashes with dogma and reinterprets his masters’ teachings against their will. It’s odd. does it though? i got more of it him just being done with it all, he was able to save his dad and than he sees it happening all over again and for one brief second thinks about ending it right there and because the force is a bitch, it fucks him over and now he is just hidding away.

That's the thing. They're all good actors with lots of charisma and chemistry with each other... yet so much wasted potential. i thought poe and finn and rey had pretty good chemestry together in this movie. driver was good as he always is but he didnt do much. I liked the sequel trilogy as flawed as they all are(and they are pretty loving flawed) and i had fun watching this one. i did kinda cheer at the Wedge cameo.
