I don't think anyone is arguing that... even those that pointed out the rather large flaws. I'll agree, the guy is not useless... I just still can't see how a lot of that got past the editing room.Skykid wrote:And called it.Skykid wrote:I fully expect this to be the best entry since ROTJ.
Saw it tonight and it was certainly the best entry since ROTJ. As I mentioned several times over, Rian Johnson has some actual filmmaking ability, regardless of his flaws, and response from the set regarding him was good.

Nobody can relate here. The theatre tonight was IMAX screen one and about 10% full. When TFA came out they had massive standees all over cinemas explaining the backstory of the OT.BryanM wrote:Why would there be a large number of Chinese Star Wars fans, and why would this perform any better than Rogue One there?
Was 1999 the first time one of these films got a wide release there?

Was going to... didn't make it to the film festival, then kinda fell off my radar. Read that they took a lot of liberties w/ facts, but I guess that's what happens to movies.Skykid wrote: Also, Boyega is fairly good. Certainly not a typical Hollywood star, but he can meet roles. He was good in Detroit too, which is worth a watch if you haven't.

Haha... forgot about those. I can't quite recall but I think we can assume that dead fish is in there.Zen wrote:PREACH!GaijinPunch wrote: Further proving that point: Isaac in Star Wars versus Isaac in anything else (recommend Inside Llewyn Davis).
Also; please tell me they do not have more wide shots of him running?

I think that was covered somewhere back in the late 90's.. In the Jedi Academy trilogy of novels maybe?PC Engine Fan X! wrote:Should be interesting to learn about the backstory of how Solo got into the big debt fiasco with the vile & dangerous Jabba the Hutt & doing the infamous "Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs" stint.

From a film buff perspective, I'd imagine it definitely is (and if you'd asked me which Disney-SW movie I'd choose first to rewatch, it'd most likely be TLJ because it's not fundamentally boring).Skykid wrote:TLJ is full of dumb shit, no doubt, and is far from perfect. The aspects it fucks with from the OT (Luke basically) are kind of down to the audience to roll with or get offended by, it doesn't matter much either way.
But credit to Johnson, it has a gear that TFA doesn't ever reach. It's evident from the opening action sequence that there's some skill involved, and that comes back in the last half in fairly entertaining layers.
It is so much better than Rogue One it's quite unbelievable anyone would even bother comparing the two. Rogue One is such a massive pile of disposable shit-heap drivel I might even venture to call it the worst SW movie ever made. It's certainly the most boring.

Safe sanitized (or infantilized) violence* is indeed a basic foundation of these movies.Yet not a single important person was recorded to be on any of them
Much too compelling and believable.BryanM wrote:* One feature I always liked about from Empire was the acknowledgment that you can't deal violence without suffering violence in return. Luke's encounter with the abominable snowman and the loss of his hand was a good start. The idea that he'd become a broken down weapon of mass destruction like Vader was kewl. And a good basis for him becoming tired of it all, and forsaking violence after the war.
In order to...
herd nerfs, perhaps?

It's not a fan thing, it's a basic failure of writing. This isn't plausibly the same character. They turned Luke into a despicable coward for no better reason than their needing Dagobah Training Sequence mkII.Skykid wrote:- Luke's arc not necessarily being what fans expect
They guy defied orders at the beginning, got the entire bomber squadron wiped out along with a sizeable amount of fighter cover. Of course you're not going to pander to the tantrums of a recently demoted arrogant officer who lost you resources you could really do with right now.dan76 wrote:Poe - what was that all about? A massive part of the film could've been avoided if Dern had just told him what was going on. This was like an episode of The Walking Dead. What's the lesson learned? Follow orders mindlessly.
