The Prequels were crap. But at least it was original crap. Disney is just using the Star Wars brand as a cash grab, while bastardizing and neutering the franchise. They were less proud of making a "good" movie than they were of making a movie without a single Leading "white male" character...Because DIVERSITY! Hooray. Enjoy Star Wars, The Last Jedi Strikes Back 2! Staring: Discount Kiera Knightly! Black guy! Gay Latin Wedge! The tin man's angry Lesbian sister! And maybe Mark Hamill. For a bit. Playing tall, bearded Yoda. And Blurry Lord Voldemort.... And Emo Vader! I'd rather have TFA and Rogue One over nothing at all. And I don't think they were bad.

What a let down. What the hell was JJ thinking "hey I love A New Hope let me just remake the movie shot for shot!" I'm hoping Last Jedi is better. Preview looked promising.

Larz Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 meh I know they are holding the good stuff back for the next one, but very meh I know nothing could ever match the hype for VII, and this is the dreaded second act, but there remain huge weak spots in poe and Finn and Rey.

Larz Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 so trailers are designed to fool you sometimes, but its pretty clear they are setting up episode 9 as a question of "does Kylo turn Rey to the dark side or does Rey redeem Kylo to the light side?" (does Luke redeem one but lose the other?)They seem to be pointing to a falling out between Luke and Rey where he may refuse to train her because of what happened to Kylo. I could live with that, just don't make Luke go to the darkside and whatever you do, don't kill him off! that will depend on disneys strategy, if they will do 9 episodes in lucas' basic framework, and then give us annual spin offs, origin stories, or do they just keep the skywalker story going and just alternate good guys winning and bad guys winning. also, lukes comment about "raw strength" really rules out the kenobi bloodlines for Rey. She is a skywalker, descendant of annakin, either Lukes kid or Kylo's sister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Kevin smith pointed out the end of the trailer with Rey and Kylo looks like a set-up, as the backgrounds don't seem to be the same place. I missed the significance of Kylo without his mask. Maybe the whole trailer is a fake out Guess there is only 1 way to find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tracking well but not as well as VII. I think it's at $200 million for opening weekend and then they're relying on the quality of the film for everything after. The good news in that regard is that they are handing the reigns to Johnson for an entirely separate non-Skywalker trilogy. There is no way they'd do that if they weren't in love with Last Jedi. https://www.theverge.com/2017/11/9/16630902/star-wars-new-trilogy-rian-johnson-disney-lucasfilm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way they give him his own trilogy if they didn't love what he did with TLJ. I've already got my tickets for opening day (the Thursday night showings around me in Denver are already sold out), I've already read a lot of theories online about different ways they could go with the story and what people have been able to piece-together from the trailers and behind-the-scenes footage that has been released - basically I can't f***ing wait. For the record I don't understand why so many people are down on Episode VII in this thread. I grew up a massive Star Wars fan; The Empire Strikes Back is my bible. The prequels were pretty terrible movies and Episode VII was a return to form. Was it a rhyme of A New Hope? Sure. Is it a perfect movie? No. But it felt so much more like the original trilogy than the prequels and was the first meaningful expansion of the Star Wars universe, for me, since Shadows of the Empire on N64. I picked up Battlefront 2 on PS4, I've been scouring the internet for spoilers, watching stupid zero-content/clickbaity analysis videos on youtube and now I'm talking about it on a football board... less than a month... your Tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker...

The series and the development of these characters have been a lifelong endeavour, will be sad when they kill Luke but that is my expectation...

Lucas has said star wars is a story about the Skywalker family so Luke's kid still makes the most sense.

I loved VII. No matter what they put out it was always going to come under a very unfair level of scrutiny. They created a new cast of characters and storyline to care about, that was enough for me. It’s the internet and people love to bitch. I just chalk it up to that. We have tix for opening night at the legendary LA Cinerama. I’m stoked.
