SuperMechagodzilla posted:It’s an issue of literacy. The film is so bizarre as a result of all the edits and reshoots that, when asked what the theme is, fans just start quoting random characters. I don’t know what’s going on, but surely Kylo does. It’s about ‘letting the past die and killing it if you have to’, right? This is exactly why I said in the non-spoiler thread that the entire reasoning behind The Last Jedi is "make it more Star Wars". It's clearly intended to be mindless ticket bait, and it's not worth taking seriously. Best thing to do is treat it like a cheesy Friday night popcorn movie, which it's pretty good at being. FlamingLiberal posted:This snippet from an interview with Abrams definitely doesn't bode well for TRoS This entire new trilogy feels like a gamemaster making poo poo up out of whole cloth for their RPG campaign. I mean, it works for your D&D sessions, but for a movie...? Pollyanna fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Nov 29, 2019 |

That spoiler slide deck seems like the boring kind of awful. I really hope that they end this series with a hell of a bang. Order 69 or riot.

weekly font posted:I wonder if they were directed to deliver the lines in a stilted way that sounded like high school drama to get across the artificiality of the space opera world. We know this to be the case, because Lucas refers to the characters’ weird speech patterns as “diplodialect” in the Episode 2 screenplay. Diplodialect is basically the specific (fictional) dialect of English spoken by white people on Coruscant. The unambiguous joke is that everyone in space “speaks weird”, but only Jar Jar gets poo poo for it due to racism. Lucas is fully capable of writing naturalistic dialogue, but wanted to make a point about language with this sci-fi dialect.

Friends, if you truly enjoy the OT, then you don't really care about bad acting or ridiculous SFX or whatever. Focus on on what the PT is saying about us and our society. Reflect on your politics and you'll know why you like or dislike the prequels; there would be more dignity in that then pretending to be confused or regurgitating rlm memes.

Yes because a one sentence snarky comment is courageous. I do not enjoy watching the prequels. I just watched all of 3 of them. I did not enjoy the experience. I respect and understand the politics and find them interesting but that does not mean I therefore must enjoy the experience of watching the films.

But then we gotta say what's bad about the movies beyond our private emotional responses. And I'm reacting to the constant complaints that should apply equally (if not more so) to the OT, and yet obviously never are

Blood Boils posted:Nope, sorry that's not allowed Oh totally. Im on my marathon right now and theres is some really stilted acting and clunky dialogue in parts of the OT. That said, for me I think its fairly minimal compared to the PT and the good far far outweighs the bad. My dislike for the PT comes mostly from a formal perspective and they mostly frustrate because I really like a lot of what is going on underneath the surface and the mechanizations of how they designed the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire. I just am not into the way that story is presented. I haven't watched all 3 in a long time and after reading the many many opinions and thematic evaluations here I was hyper focused on those things. I just think a lot of lovely filmmaking and gets in the way. I think one of the most surprising things that came out of this rewatch PT for me was that I enjoyed Attack of the Clones the most out of all 3. Its a fun space romp with some killer set pieces and I found the Camino mystery/Geonosis/Dooku plot a lot more engaging and fun to follow then the absolute boring slog TPM is and the kind of surprisingly rote and unimaginative fall of Anakin/The Republic plotting of RotS.

Mandrel posted:is this from the books of something Nope. Finn explains the part about being a kidnapped child. Maybe the Unknown Regions stuff is really only spelled out in Resistance, but I could swear it's mentioned in TFA. SuperMechagodzilla posted:This is just forums poster Cnut’s misreading of events , repeated verbatim. And that path ended with him being driven mad like a Lovecraft protagonist. I suggest stepping back from it. Nope. The morality around droids is terribly inconsistent. And it's arguable about whether or not he is "killed". He still exists afterwards. He's still the same exact person. On the other hand, what is consistent is that Palpatine manipulates the Republic into its crisis. porfiria posted:Right--the prequels aren't nearly Leftist enough.
