STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (HUGE SPOILERS EVERYWHERE)

Jayjay the Airplane is gonna be back for the last movie. Wanna bet how much he retcons in response? This trilogy will be a sandwich of shit topped with retcons of itself.

New movie fanboys 2015: it's just the first movie in the trilogy, all of that will be explained in the next movies.

New movie fanboys 2017: None of those important details are important! We don't need world building!

They bypassed the world building.
 
The magic of the franchise is dead (probably has been for a while). Luke goes from struggling with and resisting the dark side of the force, and succeeding in bringing his father to the Light, to 30 years later trying to murder his nephew in his sleep because he might become evil.

Great character development Rian Johnson.
 
The prequels were laughably bad but these new movies are just a big ball of nothing, sterile, unimaginative, safe and rehashed, what is worse?
At least an overambitious movie that falls flat on it's face can ellicit some emotion and the prequels and expanded universe resulted in some cool stuff like Tartakovsky's Clone Wars mini series. Wbat do these movies inspire anyway?

Women! Just kidding. The same question at the same rellevance could go for the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies or the MCU movies. The answer is reallu just nothing/nobody. And PotC at least has some pretty great action and visuals while being AT LEAST a bit less PG.

First Pirates film is awesome. Rest is forgettable. Except for Jones' beard.

I'm thinking about rewatching prequels after...uh, 10 years? No, less. 7 or something. Come to think of it, I have forgotten a lot. I wonder what I will think of them now, after seeing all these new films.

Do that and then share your thoughts. It would be interesting to hear about what you think about them now. :ok:

I will if I watch them at all. Still thinking about it. It's 8 or so hours of my life I could spend on masturbation and quality shitposting.
 
I half-watched all the movies again (lil brother did, I watched roughly half of each whil I tried to get some work done) and honestly think the same. The prequels have less charismatic writing, dialogue and acting (except when it's Ewan McGregor time) are generally bland while not offensive (except when it's Jar Jar or sometimes Anakin time), but the photography still's alright with a CGI with more practical effects than it's accounted for that still does the job well while often looking pretty impressive. Action's good if you aren't one of those faggots who prefer the OT fights consistent of shooting astray down corridors and staring at each while wielding lightsabers like mating season moose.

As most have agreed on by now, the joy of them are:
1) The setting, more expansive and better represented on the actual movies, which generally is more believable
2) Finding a bit more than there is on plain sight considering some events, not extremely deep but it's pretty clearly not just nazis vs teenagers and wizards
3) Prequelmemes. Nuff said.

Really makes you think :mrgreen:
 
So what was the point of deleting the entire EU if the film writing staff was just going to copy/paste the originals, prequels, and KOTOR 2?
 
The fanboys of the Last Jedi have adopted this weird mentality where this movie is some post modern dada piece where you can't criticize it based on what it is but rather on some ambiguous ethereal idea that only exists within their head.

Pacing? It doesn't matter to this movie apparently. Plot? That doesn't matter. Internal consistency? Doesn't matter. The factions, characters? Doesn't matter.

What matters is that it's Disney Star Wars and you have to like it.
 
While it's in their full right to interpret a work, they're so damn certain. Subversive? Why? I'm genuinely interested in seeing their point adressed and explained, not just dismissively stated.
 
The level of pleb you have to be to act smug about "getting" a fucking Disney Star Wars movie is insane.
 
I wouldn't say as much smug as dismissive, really. I do also wonder what's exactly the real strength of the movie -har har, none-, really. Not strong in the world building, the characters, the comedy, the action... What was really the purpose of it? It COULD be to build up to Episode 9, but considering the director shift...
 
What did it build up for Episode 9? It literally removed all connecting plot threads (as flimsy as they were before) and replaced with.... nothing. The only thing they can do with the Next movie is just Kill Kylo Ren.
 
I could be mad at this rilogy just to make this dreamy man look like a twat on screen

Seriously, he looks like Vanilla Keanu Reeves
 
Ah, SW:LJ topic. How marvelous.

I'll be brief. The movie, in compare to classic trilogy, is extremely shallow, stupid and fake in a gazillion ways, from smallest details like X-Wing engines (which are done nearly as wrong as one could intentionally do 'em wrong) to most corner-stone things like nature of the Force. Unsurprisingly, it makes any old Star Wars fan who has at least half of a brain to be infuriated. I am one of such, and i managed to survive ~9 minutes of this SW:LJ movie before becoming totally sure that this movie is not, in fact, a Star Wars movie and shutting it down. Rather, it's a fake Star Wars movie, having no spirit nor dignity of a real one.

I won't waste any more breath on this abomination of modern cinema "industry", which fortunately i did not buy nor even rent, but tried to watch at a friend's. I'll just post the following video if someone wants a good number of specific wrongs explained (and the list is far from being full, i bet). I sure enjoyed this video much more than the movie itself - even though i don't find any pleasure in watching this video, that is. Only sadness.
