double negative posted:after all that build up, cgi-face luke picking up happy meal toy grogu made me burst into laughter CGI Moff Tarkin was the worst part of Rogue One. Disney has so much money and Star Wars has so many fans that they just couldn’t be bothered to get a near lookalike and give them good make-up. The Leia scenes in The Rise of Skywalker further cements that edit jobs suck rear end and I’d be willing to have a 90% lookalike actor/actress do the part. Screw the nerds. I know we lost Carrie but Abrams cannot edit himself out of a paper bag.

i still think that an obi-wan show/movie about him being a space samurai ronin on tatooine would have been really good with ewan mcgregor and a decent script but there are way too many star wars and i'm not going to watch the mandalorian even with them trying to entice me with space raylan givens honestly, The Last Jedi is probably the greatest gift disney could have asked for, a tremendously divisive movie that enraged a huge chunk of the fanbase that they can now appease with whatever nonsense they're doing in the tv shows that have people falling over themselves thanking a corporation for making their star wars great again. no one is concerned about the artistic quality of the tv/movies, it's all about making the characters say and do the Correct things so people can get in on that vapor nostalgia Dreylad has issued a correction as of 18:38 on Dec 20, 2020 |

Disney releases a Rise of Skywalker Director’s Cut but instead of tweaking any of the plot or pacing, the bigfuck ships battle will have cuts of each of your favorite characters. Mando. Watto. Glup Shitto. Everyone is in this together. As much as I disliked it, I enjoyed seeing Old Man Wedge. Ahhh you tricked me again, Disney.

Honestly I would have been fine with (Mandalorian S2 finale spoilers) Luke showing up and being loving badass because it reminded me of the Clone Wars shows of seeing Anakin being cool and having the dramatic irony of knowing he will tragically fall from grace in the future. But holy poo poo did the CGI ruin that.

if they're so devoted to bringing back the ot characters they should just bite the loving bullet and recast them. the cgi zombie tech isn't there yet, so just knock it off and bring in some new actors to play the old characters e: also there were like 10k jedi in a galaxy with trillions of people. to most people they would be semi-mythical. the problem is that despite these numbers we're drowning in force users in the stories we actually see. this is because space magic and swordfights are cool, but its a case of trying to have your cake and eat it too Serf has issued a correction as of 20:19 on Dec 20, 2020 |

Anyone pointed out yet that, released in 2018, the American film Alpha probably began preproduction as soon as various academic journals started publishing articles about how the original conception of alpha males and pack structure was a myth, but vitally important to Americans' mythology around themselves and the justification for their "destroy everything and everyone for they are weak" attitudes?

Something I'm amazed at with Disney's handling of Star Wars is just kind of how cheap they've been on certain things, that for some reason people surebut upset about. Like the comics continually stealing fan art or that the ISD 1 (from Rogue One) model seems to be the only new digital model they've created so it just gets put into everything, from then just putting a laser under it in Rise of Skywalker, to it being the Star Destroyer in Star Wars Squadrons, even though it should be an ISD II at that point. Maybe that's just the fanboy in me but I think that's far more deserving of ctiticism than anything in the Last Jedi

Maybe that's just the fanboy in me but I think that's far more deserving of ctiticism than anything in the Last Jedi The way big 2 comics are run seems so ridiculous to me. They essentially operate as ways to beta test new storylines and characters for Disney and Warner Bros. brands, but they are also still tied to a monthly release schedules and expected to turn a profit. It's not far removed from a movie studio expecting their storyboard artists to be profitable in their own right at this point. The actual writers and artists seem to know the industry better. Lots of creator owned comics are just pitches to turn the IP into TV shows and movies. Even though there are less resources behind those products, they are still often higher quality than big 2 comics. The creators know that a better pitch will make it a little more likely to be picked up for adaptation.

Star wars without the space wizard stuff might as well just not be star wars- there's no need to be a star wars property if you want to make science fiction or just tell non-SF stories. Unfortunately, we're in the age of subtextless nerd poo poo so welcome to hell. solo suffered from being the han solo show, because it had to do all the han solo things instead of just kinda going where it made more sense plot-wise

Watching a lot of old 30s, 40s and 50s movies and the creepy misogyny is all over and changes in weird ways. The ending to the movie was great and unexpected. Check out the 1934 original "the man who knew too much". I need to check out the 1954 remake, but the OG has an insane 20 minute finale.

Unfortunately, we're in the age of subtextless nerd poo poo so welcome to hell. the way franchises exist today, with expanded universes and tightly controlled brand "canons," really seem to restrict storytelling possibilities. it's a great way to sell media products until the audience burns out, but it sucks for the audience. Stan Lee's real innovation in media was the commercial expanded universe. I know that going back to at least Dickens, commercial media has used serialized stories to keep consumers buying their product. Stan Lee is the first person I know who consistently advertised, with spinoffs and crossovers, that readers needed to also buy other serialized stories to know the whole story. I know groups of writers like Lovecraft's circle or the Inklings had referenced each others works before, implying a shared universe, but they didn't have footnotes saying to buy their friends' book to know the context. The real surprising thing is that Stan Lee introduced the strategy in the 1960s, and it took until the 2010s for movie studios to implement.
