Horizon Burning posted:in the comics, the temple exploded for no reason after kylo brought his little hut down on luke. then, after trying to save padawans from the burning rubble, kylo tried to explain what happened to other padawans who arrived shortly after the explosion. they did not believe kylo, pulled out their lightsabers, and attacked. kylo fought them back but didn't kill or even harm any of them. the jedi pursued him off the planet and, apparently, all the way into snoke's arms. Coming soon from Disney: Star Wars Padwans. With their Jedi training temple destroyed and master Skywalker feared dead a group of young padwans must set out into the universe with their training incomplete and only each other to rely on. Will they fall to the dark side? Tune in to find out... ...that, no they don't. Amazingly they survive all the obstacles thrown at them, and through some contrivance bull poo poo manage to be someplace else when the movies take place. One of the ideas I thought would have been great before this series went totally in the toilet was having Luke's surviving students show up to save the day at the end of The Last Jedi. It would have been an emotional moment for Luke to realize that not only some had survived, but they went on carrying the ideals he had thought them.

Rochallor posted:There is so much dumb poo poo in this movie that I've almost forgotten Rey accidentally blowing up the shuttle in what might be the funniest scene in a movie I've scene all year. Have you ever tried to pick up something really heavy, and then instead of lifting it, you accidentally punch it? I'm telling you, they should've had chewie really die when that happened. It'd turn this from a trainwreck into a masterpiece.

Hobo Clown posted:I'm still mad they brought in Harrison Ford to be a not-force ghost when Anakin is clearly the better option for that scene. You continue the grandfather theme, Kylo gets his face-turn pep talk from the guy he's been wrongfully idolizing, force ghosts are already a thing so you don't have to explain "memories" or whatever, and it adds some more fan service to the pile. I get that Hayden is from the dreaded prequels but it's still part of the *saga* that's ending. Close some loops! I would've lost my poo poo in theater if it was force ghost Hayden gently caress Rey channelling all Jedi was pretty anime but they should have gone really anime and have bad CGI ghosts guiding her, especially SLJ for the reverse lightning. Go big or go home you already have an improbable flotilia of undead star destroyers with death star cannons you are already hosed up on baby bullshit. fatherboxx fucked around with this message at 09:54 on Dec 23, 2019 |

I honestly wish he did so something had some kind of consequence here. Chewie died! Nah he’s fine. C3PO’s memory is wiped! Nah he’s fine. Rey died! Nah she’s fine! I mean you could argue Kylo but it felt like his fate was sealed in TFA - there was no way he was getting out alive.

I liked the girl smuggler whose only purpose was to take off her visor (but not full helmet) to establish she IS hot, and that Poe wants to bang her and is NOT gay. Don't worry, there were nameless consolation lesbians so the LGBTs will be sated.

It's not like Kylo's irredeemable if he kills Han Solo, everyone's allowed "One" murder brought about by the conflict of their emotions. But no one is allowed more. At the very least with Vader before he slaughtered children, it was totally buyable. The moment he was a kiddie killer, it became dumb.

But instead we get a Chick Tract version of redemption

Poe gets a girlfriend and the camera focuses on her rear end and her eyes in that order. Finn gets a girlfriend too. Can't possibly let Finn and Poe be gay for one another, despite them having the only actual chemistry in the series. Seriously, the jacket scene from TFA was (obviously unintentionally) more interesting than any other romantic chemistry in this whole dumpster fire.

Why did they go to the Star Destroyer? i've already forgotten half the bullshit in the opening act but i think they get a message from the spy saying they've captured an important prisoner and rey senses that it's chewie using the force? which is kinda silly because prior to this it was always force-sensitive people finding each other but gently caress it that's hardly the most egregious thing about this stupid maguffin chasing section of the movie no idea how they justify chasing the knife around except to split rey up from the others so she can dramatically confront kylo and then escape e: ah, i figured out which parts of the movie are referencing the prequels as part of this movie being a celebration of all of star wars: the opening is a homage to episode 2's elaborate scheme, except it's even stupider

Rey can use the force to spot a wookiee in orbit from the ground, she should already be well aware that the thirsty dude she spends most of her time with is force sensitive. Obviously she knows but is playing dumb because she's just not that into you, Finn.

JJ Abrams has yet to actually direct a proper space battle despite directing two Star Treks (one of which was a remake of a film famous for its depiction of naval combat in space) and two Star Wars movies. At this point I think he's doing it on purpose.

Do people not remember that there were tie bombers in the original trilogy? They bomb the asteroid that the worm/falcon were on. Y-wings are also bombers.

its a bold claim to compare the only bombing scene in the OT which honestly looks like the bombers "Throw" the bombs out of ther launch rack (the structure below the second Pod on a TIE Bomber) to that turd of a space battle Johnson came up with after (in his own words) "Wanting to recreate a WW2 Bombing run - in space" the ST has no good space battle, it doesnt even have a passable space Battle. Rogue Ones last act did more to honor the WARS part of STAR WARS than the entire ST. Neither JJ nor Jonson can frame a good battle. They both can do small action. Johnson never left his comfort zone regarding that and abrams tried to paint over his inability to do so with flash and lightning and fast cuts in order to overwhelm the viewer into submission that yes, this is an actual Battle and not a skirmish or a Hero fight put in a copy machine at 500% zoom. Just compare any Battle in the ST to the Battle of coruscant in ROTS (theres no need to even open up any of the OT Battles to drive that point) Combat Theory fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Dec 23, 2019 |

...OT space battles are just WW2 but in space. Falcon is just an unreliable hot rod but in space, “would it help if I got out and pushed?” I’ll never understand the moaning over the bombers from TLJ. They are pure Star Wars.

2house2fly posted:A fun experiment you can do here to back this assertion up is to google the phrase "is gravity infinite" You know, fair point, I was wrong, it is infinite. I used the wrongs word there. That planetoid is too far away for its gravitational pull to pull the bombs down, even if it wasn't, they're not over the planetoid, so gravity wouldn't pull the bombs down anyway. Now, that said, it's not that bombers as craft concept don't make sense, it's that for a bomber to work in space, it's bomb is essentially going to be propelled, like a missile. That scene is dumb, it's Rian Johnson jacking off world war 2 bombers, much like TIE Fighters and X-Wings are jacking off dog fights.
