WatermelonGun posted:they’re showing off a new game tomorrow maybe this one will actually come out. This exciting new action-adventure game stars Drake Sunslayer, the secret apprentice of the perfidious Snoke. When Snoke is cruelly cut down by Kylo Ren, Drake is forced to question everything.

I can see why they would use the ruins of the Death Star as a setpiece. The best part of the last two movies was a slice of Rey's daily life foraging in the wreckage of big destroyed ships that had crashed on her planet

That isn't nearly derivative enough for Star Wars

Creamed Cormp posted:What I am saying is give us Star Wars : Rashomon edition I'm amazed they haven't gone back to ripping off Kurosawa movies by now. It would be hacky but turn out better than the hacky poo poo they're already doing. Stray Dog, Yojimbo, Red Beard. Just transplant them into Star Wars land and you have better movies than Rogue One or Last Jedi by default

Ironslave posted:I'd like to think Abrams, even for all his doofy views on good filmmaking, knows this. I'd wager "Rise of Skywalker" would probably end up referring to Luke's role as inspirational figure which the climax of TLJ touched on rather than something asinine like "Rey was a Skywalker all along" or "it's the new word for Jedi" or "actually, it's referring to Kylo Ren/Ben Solo." It wouldn't surprise me if Luke isn't really dead or a force ghost and they just retcon him disappearing at the end. It's astral projections all the way down. Even though I think Luke turning his back on the Jedi is a decent idea on paper, the way it was handled in the new movies was pretty terrible. Hammill was at least open in the press about hating the direction for his character and that the new movies were like relay races in that nothing was planned and one director picks up where the last one left off. He said as much as he could publicly without a giant Mickey Mouse cane yanking him offstage

The theme that plays while Rey is scavenging is good and that's also the best scene from any of the new movies

The best part of the new movies was Daisy Ridley scavenging the detritus of a decades-old battle. There was a good musical theme, good pacing, and basically no terrible Marvel-style dialog. If the Empire-Rebellion stuff stayed in the background like that it could have been a cool launching pad for something new.

Moola posted:that 5 or 10 minutes of the film was really good, that theme is lovely. It was the only instance I can remember of "show, don't tell" and in like three minutes you know that: 1. This person is resourceful and independent 2. She has a grueling routine just to get the daily necessities of life 3. She keeps to herself, and the planet she lives on is a backwater where everything is catch-as-catch-can

One of the biggest problems - aside from not scripting out the main trilogy ahead of time - was the super compressed release schedule. There's been a Star Wars movie every year since 2015. Even if the movies were good some fatigue would have set in. They treated it like Marvel while ignoring that Marvel has lots of different settings, time periods, and characters to give you at least a modicum of variety. They should have just released one movie every 2-3 years at most so viewers would actually anticipate it a little.
