LividLiquid posted:The fact that this became a thing blows me away its because the dialogue is cringe and not in a fun campy way - because palpatine returning was an 11th hour asspull so you get characters in reshoots saying "Somehow palpatine has returned." and the issue with the crawl is that they say "THE DEAD SPEAK!" and talk about a transmission announcing palpies return that was only ever shown in fortnite. Which is cross promotional cringe. I don't think anyone doesn't really understand that they are saying he is cloned or whatever. It just feels very shoddy.

That would have been a good opener even, THE DEAD SPEAK - a mysterious transmission has begun broadcasting throughout the galaxy - then show all the worlds with this hosed up palpy cackling or whatever. Kylo watching it and fuming and beginning his quest to hunt him down. No time though, gotta lightspeed skip.

What would be gained by showing a bunch of people listen to the radio that wasn't accomplished by telling us that happened? It really wasn't necessary for the film. Starting In Media Res is Star Wars' whole thing. Like, sure, I'd be interested to hear this message too, but the film didn't need it even slightly. How it affected Kylo is what's actually important to the story being told and that's the first thing we see. I don't know why I didn't hate tRoS when everyone else did, but I maintain that the only sin that flick committed that can't be forgiven is doing Rose and Finn dirty to please the most toxic loving fanbase on the planet. And it didn't even work. Edit: Seriously, though, you can draw a straight line from prequel fan rage through Gamergate up on through the rise of the alt right, Trump, and the rise of global fascism. All because a movie about space wizards made for children wasn't what some dorks not very dissimilar to us wanted it to be.

I think there's a bit of a difference between starting in medias res to hit the ground running and starting with a text crawl stating that a man we literally saw explode and hasn't been mentioned since is now alive and well.

It might’ve worked if the entire trilogy had started that way, but even then it’d feel a bit cheap.

The part at the beginning of Masters of the Universe where there's a bunch of different Frank Langella Skeletor holograms at every angle delivering his message of conquest was the only good part of that movie so Palpatine doing the same would have mean Rise of Skywalker having one good scene too.

I dunno it always sounds like Poe never heard of cloning technology or something, because if the Dead Emperor that Conquered the Galaxy with a Clone Army turns up not-dead, I'm assuming he got in on that sweet sweet clone action. SOMEHOW is not a word that comes up in my "Dead Emperor back?" announcement. Palpaclone always hits a mixed bag for me. On one hand, I never really liked Dark Empire specifically because of Clone Emperor. On the other, dragging up Clone Emperor for a movie doesn't feel out of place because of Dark Empire. If you're going to play the Clone Emperor card, you have to play it earlier in the trilogy though. And that would require planning, which is apparently way too much to take into account when you're kicking off your project to make like $5 billion. A little more planning and you could have that I AM ALL THE SITH line be way more creepy too. Like there's literally been one Sith ever who just keeps inhabiting someone.

Narratively it's a shocking reveal that the Emperor, villain of the first six movies, has returned. The best place to put it was at the end of Last Jedi.

They should have started the movie on whatever the planet at the end of the movie was called and a big red light under a sign labeled "Snoke Alarm" turns red and starts flashing and a shadowy mook in a hooded robe pulled a lever and big tube of blue water with a distorted figure in it empties out and its a Sheev and it opens its eyes and cackles and then cut to people on Canto Bright, Tattoine, the first moon of Endor, and a bunch of other places watching holo-tv and the broadcast cuts out and then Sheev pops back up and cackles again and smash to they fly now Wootini for coming to my TE-3 talk

I think it's a little dumb and played out from the EU, but you can do it alright. The way they did it in TROS was just incredibly lame. The Fortnite announcement was just the cherry on top. But for me the bigger sin is uh everything else to do with the Sith Empire/Exegol/Death Star Destroyer fleet.

Sheev is my utmost unironic problematic fave and the idea that he would be somehow manipulating events from beyond the grave is a magnificently ambitious idea that might possibly have worked in a story that wasn't cobbled together from fart residue. I definitely remember watching the trailer for TRoS and being really excited that we wouldn't have to continue trying to pretend that Kylo Ren is a remotely interesting villain. This was, of course, before the actual movie made Palp into an even bigger mess of unexplainable nonsense than Ren, which was almost impressive. https://twitter.com/elijahwood/status/1229632586760081409 It really just goes to show the common idiom that there are few truly bad ideas, just lots of bad execution.

LividLiquid posted:What would be gained by showing a bunch of people listen to the radio that wasn't accomplished by telling us that happened? I guess because it's the inciting incident of the story and a MAJOR twist in the entire series. Yes, most of the films begin with a conflict in full swing, be it the Empire chasing Tantive, the Empire searching for Hoth, the Trade Federation blockading Naboo. BUT the inciting incident still occurs within the narrative, be it the Death Star plans being sent to Tatooine, the Empire finding Hoth, or the Trade Federation trying to kill their Jedi negotiatiors. Palpatine's ressurection is a twist that recontextualises everything that came before, it's too weird to dispense with it in the crawl. Put it this way; you could snip the crawl of the beginning of the OT films and still understand what's going ON via context/storytelling etc, the same is not easily true for TROS.

Lol at Frodo being surprised. Exegol didn't really seem inhabitable to me...like at all. From what we see it's a barren, grey and dark planet surrounded by storm clouds. I'm going through Mandalorian for the first time. I'm currently at episode 6. It's been an enjoyable romp so far even if it's oddly aimless. It somehow reminds me a little of the old Xena/Hercules series I used to watch. Just a "hero" going from town/planet to town/planet and "solving" the problems there while toting around someone who depends on the "hero".
