 How can you shoot wookies and ewoks? Easy. You just don't lead 'em so much!

Genocide Tendency posted:Rogue One is going to be just as good as Force Awakens.. I actually think it will be. I think TFA was a good movie, but it had the unfortunate task of having to make people hyped about Star Wars again, so it was a far more conservative film in many regards. I think we're going to get a film that allows a lot more variety in themes and ideas and I think it's going to work out nicely primary because it's a war movie referencing WWII and Vietnam, though devoid of the lame rear end attempt of some of the writers to insert current politics into the movie. Also as a die hard Godzilla nerd I really feel Gareth Edwards made a good Godzilla film so I trust him with Star Wars...regardless of the reshoot rumors...also thank God Josh Trank spazed out and will never touch Star Wars. I am so hyped about the return of Darth Vadar even if it is only 5-10 minutes. It was cool seeing JEJ back doing Darth Vader on Star Wars Rebel (it's not bad, but just apply the rule of Clone Wars, so of it's really good and some of it early on is poo poo...also Grand Moff Tarkin is in it so plus +1 anyway) , his voice is a bit different, but still very much Darth. It was really cool of him to come back for a kids cartoon show. But even ignoring Darth I think the movie has a lot going for it in terms of setting, locales, HK47 esque droids (Also for Sherlock Holmes fans go look up the v/a for HK), and more.

I 100% agree with this logic. I think reactions to the rumored reshoots were over reactions by some. They are incredibly common so it's not a huge deal. The director getting fired, constant turnover in the writing staff or the director saying he's going to use the Alan Smithee pseudonym would be far greater indications of a poo poo movie.

Reviews of Rogue One are coming out today. Seems good so far, not ESB good but good. Though I'll be quite honest. The film could be just 120 minutes of the Rebellion preflighting and revving up X-Wings and I'd still watch it happily in theaters a half a dozen times.

I heard they had to reshoot the ending because it was too dark, which makes me think that all the heroes in the movie died at the end so they had to make some of them live. That's kind of dumb but it's still new Star Wars so I'm hype as gently caress to see it on Friday night

Look at the ol pedophile Rich Brody that the New Yorker dug out of the dungeon to review RO: http://www.newyorker.com/culture/richard-brody/rogue-one-reviewed-is-it-time-to-abandon-the-star-wars-franchise lol From the same guy who wrote http://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/what-the-seven-star-wars-films-reveal-about-george-lucas quote:What endures for the critics and their lay associates, for aesthetes who live for the beauty and the pleasure of movies, is Lucas’s directing—of two films, “Attack of the Clones” and, especially, “Revenge of the Sith.” If Lucas had done nothing else in his life, he’d have an honored place in my personal pantheon for that work. http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/how-the-gently caress-high-was-this-new-yorker-guy-when-he-wrote-1790058128 quote:Listen. I am not going to try to unpack and critique the bonkers Rogue One review published by the New Yorker’s Richard Brody today. I do not even know where to begin. I am just going to blockquote some portions down below this paragraph, and I invite you to join me in making halting, inarticulate, baffled vocalizations at them. tldr: rogue one is probably pretty good, but it appears the usual suspects will post reviews au contrarian for the clicks

Naked Bear posted:Can't we all just enjoy a good space opera with lasers and space wizards?? Time to repost this- the short answer is no, you cannot enjoy a good space opera with lasers and space wizards because to do so directly undermines the space class struggle. https://www.jacobinmag.com/2015/12/star-wars-the-force-awakens-empire-joseph-campbell-george-lucas/ Best quote: quote:As any good student of Mao knows, a revolutionary movement can only succeed if it wins the trust of the people; holding territory is a game played by the State, not those trying to overthrow it. We never see the rebels being sheltered from Stormtroopers by grateful peasants (while they do ally with the Ewoks, it’s with a fully colonial sense of entitlement); we never see Alliance propaganda being passed around in secret by the oppressed; we never see any indication that this armed faction has any kind of popular mandate whatsoever. It’s not just infantile bourgeois ultraleftism — Blanquism in space.

I'll put it this way, Josh Trank, set the golden standard for gently caress ups with the Fantastic Four, until you get close to him, you're doing pretty good. Kind of surprised the soundtrack hasn't leaked out yet, or oddly enough Amazon can't even put up a digital pre-order yet. Oh Alexander Freed is doing the novelization and Johnathon Davis is doing narration for the audio book. Marshal Prolapse fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Dec 14, 2016 |

If there's one thing I am hoping for with the Star Wars one-off movies it's that they're less reliant on the Force and lightsabers and more just cool movies that happen to be set in Star Wars

Who sings their songs? Who tells their tales? Why do we dance ever so closely to the tantalizing conclusion that the Force is Capital itself- the unseen presence that surrounds us, binds us and penetrates us- without ever fully embracing it?

I want to watch storm troopers shoot badly and Darth Vader be the coolest loving villain ever. Also those plucky upstart rebels. People who don't shut the gently caress up about some deeper meaning are the worst god drat kind.

I was amazed at how well done it was. Also seeing literally 90% of the Rebels getting waxed at the end of the movie was worth it because it showed Disney is willing to let this franchise be a little dark and acknowledge the War in the title. Got drat, this movie was awesome.
