Star Wars - Thread...Contains Spoilers*

[Cultured_Bogan]

Watched Rogue One last night and it's left me feeling a little more disappointed in Ep VIII.

I suppose the next movie gives them a somewhat clean slate, since they've also said that Carrie Fisher will not be digitally recreated.

Leia being absorbed the force would have been better end

 

[Munk]

They wont bring her back so she can fly around like superman some more?😊

Well I wager they were expecting her to be around for the next movie which is why they didn't.

That was garbage. I know Star Wars is pretty far fetched already but that was just stupid.

Leia being absorbed the force would have been better end

A better end would include the Police Academy cast as well

The end is hopefully very ,very near

Thought the Padawan would know that by now ??

I really hope I don't come across as a bitter fanboy.

I thought they pissed on all the hard work done raising hype and questions in the force awakens. Johnson deconstructed everything Abrams put together in TFA for no legitimate reason. Granted Abrams may have posed too many questions, but still.

Like Reys parents. That felt like a middle finger. I get the appeal in her parents being nobody and the fact that Ren could have lied. But it was built up to be so important and it was just brushed aside with humour like it was nothing.

The whole Snoke thing. Who was he, were did he come from, how did he gain his power and control of the first order? If he was as powerful as they said surely he notices the lightsaber twisting. It just seemed pointless to include him after they cast him aside so easily and quickly. It was just such a stupid move to build up this villain and then cast him aside. It was a shocking moment, but it robbed the trilogy of its most interesting villain in such a cheap way and really in a way that makes no sense. He can read minds and see everything, but misses a lightsaber twisting at his side?

The Leia flying through space thing. Come on. That was horrible. I just sat there like what the hell is this? They should have let her die at that moment. Now they have to find a way to kill her with some form of dignity in episode 9.

The Finn and Rose subplot. Added absolutely nothing to the film. Other than the message that horseracing is bad? Rose was just awful. Finn should have been allowed to have a heroes death. This whole subplot and romance seemed forced, disneyfied and unnecessary.

The fact that the main plot revolved around a ship being out of fuel. Fuel has never been a minor issue in Star Wars let alone a major plot point. It was a 2.5 hour chase scene. That was the movie. I'm happy for Star Wars to go in new directions, but that plot point wasn't all that exciting.

I could have forgiven all of that if they hadn't of done what they did to Luke. He was prepared to die instead of killing Vader in Return of the Jedi. And he still believed that he could turn him back right until the very end. So he won't kill is father and believes he can turn the most evil sith there is back, but is happy to try and kill his nephew because he senses he has growing darkness? It just seems half assed and goes against everything Luke represents. That and Luke tossing the lightsaber over his shoulder. Such an anti climax after that massive build up.

It just feels like everything that has ever been important in a Star Wars movie was turned into a cheap throw away one line joke. I walked out feeling pretty disappointed and empty. It just felt like a pointless movie. It didn't really add anything to the saga, it just took things away.

I feel much better now.

Thats what happens Fraze when the current generation gain control. They are so twisted up in PC culture and so terrified of not being inclusive and progressive that they make everything bland.

The female lead (Rey?) has to be close to the worst character written in a major motion picture in multiple decades. The ultra feministic viewpoint of tearing down the patriarchy through this ridiculous girl (without serious training) being able to not only do everything a man can, but do it far better is embarrassing. Also if they were going to make her a warrior, shouldnt they have hired an actress who had martial arts training or maybe medieaval weapons handling so that she looks comfortable weilding the lightsaber? They certainly didnt hire her for her acting chops. The black guy should be called token, the asian chick is a cartoon and the villian a temper tantrum throwing emo brat.

Sloppy, agenda driven dribble. Unfortunately its popular so this mind altering garbage will continue to brainwash the masses…especially young women.

Saw it today.
Solid 6 due to visuals. Acting was what i expected…abysmal.
That makes 3 StarWars ive seen now and theyre all the same in these areas.
Dependable franchise.

It was way more than a solid 6

I should have known all Queenslanders wake up on the wrong side of the bed.

What a disgrace. Star Wars is absolutely legendary.

Not dependable. Every kid you meet, including me, loves Star Wars and if you have a problem with Star Wars, tell that to all the kids in the world.

I, like many other kids, am a Star Wars fan boy.

And confirming you are talking garbage:
http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/franchise/Star-Wars#tab=summary

Geeze someone need their nappy changed? The day i take the advice of kids as gospel is the day ill turn it up.

Starwars to me is nothing more than special effects with a good soundtrack. Not terrible not great, just mediocre telling of a recycled story that is as old as time itself. The dialogue and acting is always subpar but its covered over by the action set pieces, which are very good. The female leads of the past two films have been so wooden you could have replaced them with deckchairs and no one would have noticed. There seemed to be a lot in there for the uber fans so im sure thats where the ratings are coming from but for a casual moviegoer its a tad dull to be honest until the last 30-40 minutes.

What did you think of the Last Jedi..?

Stryker still on here ??

Haven't seen him post since being back

Thankfully no Happy, Geo just dredged up an old post, that's all.

As much as I enjoyed The Last Jedi, Rogue One is still my favorite Star Wars movie.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Rogue One is far better than either of the Disney canon movies, and better than the prequels IMO.

In fact, I'd go as far to say that I'd probably say it's my third favourite behind Empire and A New Hope.

Any Star Wars fan knew the ending before they watched the movie but they still made it exciting to watch. Vader, despite his limited time in the movie, was phenomenal especially when he goes nuts on the Rebel troops at the end. It also tied in nicely to kick off Ep IV. For a movie where you knew few of the characters they made them believable.

Laura Dern's character in TLJ was useless in the great scheme of things. They should have had Admiral Ackbar run Snokes ship so he could be written out with a bit of honour.

Current generation? You think Disney and Lucasfilm is run by a bunch of twenty-something antifa members? Abrams is 50 odd and I think Johnson isn't that far behind him.

I don't care that they have a female for the lead, she's just been a bit of a let down. Maybe that's due to the storyline as well but she is a little wooden. Finn is a wasted character, they could have done something better with him, and Rose was virtually a useless character because the whole horseracing casino smashing side plot didn't need to happen.

I actually think Kylo is a decent character, his volatile temper and generally violent responses are what Anakin should have been in the prequel trilogy, but we got a simpering, whiny little brat who just sulked and pouted when things went against him. Kylo actually lets loose.

Of course not but that audience is who they pander to. God help you if you dont these days.

 

[Tacky]

Despite all of the negative reception I still think there was a lot to like in TLJ. I thought that crazy old man Luke kinda worked in a weird way. I thought Kylo killing Snoke and then having that fight scene with Rey was awesome. Some of the space battles were really good. Yoda's cameo was one of the best scenes.

There was obviously a lot I disliked about the movie like, the lack of character development. I just think that some of the new characters are really two dimensional and didn't have their stories developed well. That's something that is integral to Star Wars as well.

Most of my other dislikes about the movie are summarised by other comments so I'll just leave it at that but, I thought the movie was still decent.

Ah OK, I thought you meant Disney/Lucasarts was literally run by the current generation.

Yeah there is pandering, I suppose they are trying to gather a new audience. They probably figure that they'll always have the older fans and now they have to try to secure a new audience.

That being said, I would never have thought that the original trilogy was ever politically incorrect. I mean Leia was meant to be a hero, not a damsel in distress (even taking into account the "help me Obi-Wan Kenobi" message.) It was about fighting oppression, ideals that haven't really changed and something that kids today can identify with.

I do agree that I don't understand the message in the whole casino subplot, that was just entirely bizarre and was a way to introduce a new character and keep Finn occupied as he had no role in the main plot.

Snoke being wiped out without any real background was bizarre, on Yoda though I'm just glad it was muppet Yoda, not CG Yoda.
