General Dog posted:I think you can cut back and forth and have it be effective (as was the case in ESB and RoTJ and even TPM to a lesser extent), but it’s just too loving long and over the top either way. Wouldn't really make sense as they both really, really want to fight each other at that point. Winning is secondary to venting a decade of pent up frustrations.

I miss Rebels and Clone Wars. The new series just doesn’t do anything for me. I haven’t watched in a couple months.

Same, I have absolutely no interest in it after watching a handful of episodes. I don't feel like I'm missing much at all in the way of anything important and I'm sure it's being written that way on purpose.

The new show just crossed over with The Force Awakens which is interesting, but it doesn't really have anything important going on as far as I've been able to tell.

Just a quick reminder that for the next 24 hours everything is bullshit. Keep your guard up. Watto is not Rey’s uncle. And IX isn’t going to have a Force Ghost Jabba cameo.

I've always wondered why the concave part of the Death Star (the part that fires the turbolaser) was at its equator in that schematics video they show on Yavin IV. As we all know, it was in its northern hemisphere in reality...

The schematics were based on an early matte painting that had the dish on the equator:

That’s neat, didn’t know that. Matte paintings are amazing, like I get that movies don’t really need them anymore but what a beautiful art form.

lol if you see any of the lightsaber duels in the prequels and think they're even decent they literally lack all emotion and tension that the ones in the OT held. Thankfully that's one thing JJ got right.

A muppet fighting Count Dracula with laser swords is the most Star Wars thing ever, and you're a big dumb dork.

The TLJ throne room fight would have had to hold up better under close analysis to be regarded as a classic. There are way way too many awkward red dudes milling around or swinging at nothing on the edges of the frame. As is it’s as much of a hollow fraud as the rest of the film

There are way way too many awkward red dudes milling around or swinging at nothing on the edges of the frame. As is it’s as much of a hollow fraud as the rest of the film Hard disagree. There's a lot to like about the sequence. It's visually striking in both color and structure, and the camera movement/editing captures the choreography in such an effective manner that makes it all not just look super violent, but it also feels super violent. Those hard hits and sparks spewing about are such a great addition to upping the brutality not really seen in lightsaber fights before it. The sequence as a whole is a great technical feat that showcases the hero and the villain in absolutely compelling fashion. In context of the narrative it's even better imo, putting said hero and villain in a situation where they're working together. I love that. I love how it also conveys a contrast of characterization for Rey and Kylo through their fighting styles. Kylo Ren remaining calm and collected with measured strikes while Rey unveils an even more ferocious mirror or herself than we saw when she bested Kylo Ren on Starkiller Base. My personal favorite moments actually happen just before the brawl ensues; Rey wielding Kylo's saber was such a great character moment, and when Kylo force pulls Rey's saber into her hand after cleaving Snoke in half as the iconic music starts to swell is just pure cinematic joy.
