barkbell posted:honestly i dont know what you are talking about, its obvious uve consumed way more star wars media than me ive only seen movies but 3p0 disappears in cloud city and no one really notices until chewie finds him dismantled. everyone is like aw shucks the toaster broke and are far more concerned with the implication that something fishy is going on and not some true loss of a friend C3PO is annoying and everyone is happy when he's not around annoying them. They were like "woo, it's finally quiet now!" Han clearly sees him as a person, he's just a dick to him on purpose because that's his personality. His memory banks are in his head, so he can be restored if his head isn't blown up. Anyone who just views C3PO as just an object gets burned or blown up. Jimmy Smits was just like "erase this dude" so he gets blown up, Owen is all about thee slave droid life so he gets burned. C3PO is obviously secretly planning revenge on people all along.

Everyone posted:Think about how much energy it would take to build a real-time 5G connection between here and, say, ULAS J0015+1. Force Lightning is easy compared to that poo poo. Palpatine is releasing nuclear bomb level emps with no impact on his health.

The only moment that seriously impressed me was when Rey thought she killed Chewie. I thought it was a bold story choice, then they loving took it back.  I'm actually tired of seeing how emphasized Chewie has been. He's appeared in 8 of the movies now, while Rose and Maz were really awkwardly sidelined.

Next movie should have Chewie with fur impressively styled short, wearing full regalia prominently displaying his medal, including a bowler hat. He has a decorative cane and he speaks full rear end English

Chewie is a fun nostalgia character who doesn't require you to actually write anything of course he's gonna be all over these movies.

Chewie is also extremely toyetic, no way Disney allows him to be killed off.

Does the guy who plays Chewie now have to be in the SAG since he doesn't have any actual spoken lines?

Chewbacca does not die in the movies for the same reason he was the only one allowed to die in the EU.

I wish battlestar wasn't as popular as it was so Rian could have fully ripped off the hyperspace chase thing instead of half-assedly doing it and turning it into the OJ Simpson White Bronco chase in space

Intel&Sebastian posted:Also I almost cried when Chewie got his medal finally lmfao I just realized the other night that the more hilarious/hosed up thing about this is Maz totally ganked that medal after Leia vanished into the force (Leia was holding on to the medal as she passed away). She probably had second thoughts and was like "it's probably a bad look, being a grave robber... I'll uhh, give the medal to Chewie." Lmao.

Carrie Fisher gave chewie a medal on the mtv movie awards back in the 90s or something. Why didn't Pablo catch this edit: maybe you stick the medal in the VR set at chewie's house and you get an erotic harrison ford hologram

I have now also seen the new movie and all I have to add is this: the twin sunset at the ends has the same shape as BB8 for some reason in one of the scenes. It feels like a movie that has been in development without a clear idea of what it's supposed to be or how it's supposed to end. All that stuff with wayfinders feels like unnecessary filler, whose inclusion is baffling. They final confrontation between Rey and Palpatine is extremely boring and Kylo is unused even though he's there. Having Rey and Kylo beat Palpatine together through some kind of teamwork would make sense and be more entertaining, but it probably didn't come up until it was too late to do the necessary reshoots so they just put together what they could. The scenes with Leia were extremely weird and were made worse by the turd colored goblin with buttholes for eyes that provided the exposition to bridge the limited material they had. I was surprisingly okay with most of the movie though. Being spoiled probably helped because I knew what I was going into. The rey/kylo kiss didn't incite laughter in my theater but kylo dying immediately did for some reason. I found the humor in this movie more bearable in TLJ which was a relief. There weren't as many instances or a serious situation being undermined by a pointless joke as in TLJ, or at least it didn't feel like there were. There were some though, like when 3P0 got his memory wiped. Captain Jesus fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Dec 23, 2019 |

During the ending she leaned over and explained as an experienced watcher of them that this was a Hallmark movie. I noted I didn’t think those had a bad guy throwing lightning around, but not A MINUTE LATER Rey and Ben kissed  . I had to grant she was right at that point really...

barkbell posted:so why the change in reaction when 3p0 is going to have to reformat his hard drive and get restored from backup Per the movie, 3-PO was less than certain that R2 had maintained his backups. Even reset, 3PO had his basic personality. The point was that he risked losing months, maybe years worth of memories and experiences. teagone posted:That's what I was implying/saying with it being on the Falcon. Leia was holding onto Han's medal as she died, and Maz took it after she vanished. That's obviously what happened. They really needed to put in a line about "Leia wanted you to have Han's medal." The point wasn't "Chewie finally gets a medal." It was "Chewie gets a final gift from someone who loved his very best friend." But the movie hosed it up.
