General Dog posted:Their TLJ content certainly isn't their best work, but the "mansplaining" thing is basically exactly the spin a lot of TLJ's most ardent supporters have used to explain that subplot, so it's not exactly a non-sequitur. Yeah I've gathered that people who love and hate the movie are convinced it's a pro-feminist tract, which is weird because like... all the female characters' main function in the plot seems to be to cause character development in the men... doesn't it?!

(It's because Rian Johnson is nowhere near the writer he thinks he is) He's somewhat better than JJ though. That's a compliment I guess

I suspect that TROS will be much like Last Jedi in that after a couple days people will think back on it and go, “wait, what the gently caress?”.

edit: edit is not quoteHorrible Taste posted:Wait if R2 restored C-3PO's memories, does that mean 3PO remembers he's Luke and Leia's brother now? IS C-3PO the true surviving member of the Skywalker family? So R2 could have restored C-3PO's memory AT ANY TIME, and choose not too. What a great friend! There's a line later when he mentions they need go on a mission for someone and R2 says they already did that. What mission was that? Was it Captain Antilles? Furthermore, both before and after regaining all his memories, he still has the same personality.

The entire film could have been saved if C3P0 had to die so he could send his translation abilities out to the whole galaxy instead of dumb poo poo about a pointless dagger. Then the fleet showing up would make sense, it was because the different species could suddenly communicate with each other and have solidarity. As it was nothing made sense and it sucked.

Dammit, every scene I think of has a problem with it. How did Kylo get off Endor Moon II back to Exomore? He watches Rey take his....2nd ship (because she already blew up his first one.....what was he trying to do then anyway? He didn't shoot, and he didn't seem to be trying to run her over either) and has no comm link, no ship and no one else in orbit. He then gets back to Exomore by himself.

TLJ is basically someone coming in and going "man, all these Star Wars prequels/sequels are pretty stupid, amirite?" and shining a light on all the dumb stuff and basically just throwing a wrench into the whole Star Wars franchise machine while eventually going "this is how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb." That doesn't make it a good movie itself, and particularly frustrating if you were still holding out hope there was still potential in the sequel trilogy, but it's really amusing in that context.

So Sheeve managed to zap himself with his own lighting three times, once in each trilogy. I feel like there's a lesson to be learnt there.

I mean I enjoyed looper and I think TLJ is the best of all the “new” star wars movies (haven’t seen TRoS) so idk my opinion is probably wrong by this threads standards. Go see Knives Out tho. Its great.

porfiria posted:Yeah JJ was clearly not interested in material or political realities in TFA and it sounds like he’s even less so here.
