These guys just don’t get the Old Republic fighting styles.
Speaking of Old Republic, some of these intro cutscenes/trailers for those games featured choreography that was pretty stellar. Darth Malgus was a G
Ha, sick burn!
Finally.
I saw it last night, so I’m just reading all the articles and whatnot I’ve saved. It was clear (at least to me) that Rose straight up kissed Finn and he was kinda like “Uh… ok…?” and then proceed to get that super emotional hug with Rey on shortly thereafter.
I went to see it first time Christmas eve; left the theater stoked but could not put my finger on the little things that bothered me such as the Empire seemed to have forgotten shield tech; i mean wtf, the Juggernaut is as big as the Death Star and it has no fukin shield :annoyed: . Whatevs.
Day before New Year’s, went to see it again with other peeps. I left the theater even more conflicted. Watched a few youtube reviews and this thread and I have to agree, the writers on this one either never bothered watching TFA or just didn’t give a fuck of what were already established in SW. I get it, female power etc but at the cost of the male characters doe? I really hope this is somewhat salvageable in the next one.
Off topic but goddamn Godless in Netflix is straight up 10/10. Talk about leading female characters; I’d feel safe living in that western town! SW could learn a thing or two from it.
Yea… Showing Luke drinking tit juice from some alien he just milked is definitely proving your point.
Yup, that’s the jist of it. Rian started writing TLJ while TFA was being filmed. He had TFA script and nothing else. Imagine using 2 directors/writers in the LotR trilogy, you fucked up Disney.
Except the LotR trilogy already had… the LotR triology to work from.
This isn’t to excuse SW.
It’s just LotR doesn’t deserve the association.
I get the source material is there… But it’s also the vision of the director that’s skewed when you change them out in between.
True.
But having solid, set source material will invariably offset the potential for Rian Flux.
Whew. At least it doesn’t have 3 directors like the original SW trilogy did! Thank Christ!!!
(And before you say "Well Lucus was there to oversee the other 2 movies as producer, J.J and Kennedy have been doing the same thing with this trilogy. They’re both producers after all)
Giving me a situation where it worked, doesn’t take away from the fact that it did NOT work in this case.
Well as long as you acknowledge that the og trilogy had the same problem. I’m sick of people acting like the new trilogy has certain problems that somehow didn’t exist before the Disney buyout. Like people had 35 years to bitch about that kind of thing with this franchise and now that Disney owns it everyone wants to say “It’s their fault!!”. Give me a fucking break.
It IS Disney’s fault that TLJ is kind of bad.
Not OMG, THEY RUINED THE FRANCHISE bad, but an illogical, poorly paced, OJ-in-the-white-Bronco 2 and half hour chase sequence that leaves all the characters in the exact same place they started other than the ones you actually care about…
…Those they just killed off.
I actually think it did work in the case of Episodes 7 and 8. Both movies are excellent.
This is one of those posts I don’t know how to respond to because I know that our opinions on the movie are completely different. Therefore it’s just going to sound like we would be arguing over two different movies pointlessly. All I can say is that I politely disagree. Lol.
The thing about the original trilogy using multiple directors and writers, is that, by the grace of God/Allah/Xenu, it just so happened to work; doesn’t mean it’s an ideal situation. Reminds me of the Chris Rock joke about women saying they can raise children by themselves:
