Dishwasher posted:Growing up, Star Wars was always merely a delivery device for space battle (and occasional snow speeder) porn along with related space battle games. I was all that Dat Pew Pew. The prequels disappointed mainly because the battles weren't good and, most of all, I thought the ship designs were total rear end. But the sequels and R1 delivered in spades by just giving me the old poo poo with a new coat of paint and lots of splosions, even tho this cycle isn't exactly Shakespeare either.

I vaguely recall a rumour that Disney was looking into rebooting the prequels as a tv series. Does anybody know what I'm talking about/have any links?

Nothing sells merchandise like growing up giving a poo poo about something, because not only will adults spend shitloads of money on the stuff, but they'll do their best to introduce their kids to it. If people could capture lightning in a bottle like that at will, Marvel movies wouldn't be crushing everything else in Hollywood. Also, I like what they said on RLM (or was it another thing?) that Rae should have gone full dark empress. Duel blades, iron throne, everything. But the Mouse needs another princess for his castle. Ugh. Also ugh that I'm still mired in caring about Star Wars at the beginning of the 20s. I need to SEVER.

I can't wait till the infomaps pngs just showing up showing where everybody was at different points of this film. And also, to aid this thread's queries, what ship they were driving. Also, I saw TFA three times in cinema, TLJ twice and this one once. And I think that just fits right. The next star wars film I will see 0 times. And then the one after that I will see -1 times.

Literally the only thing I'm happy about with where they took Rey was making her close enough to dark emperess that there will be fan theories about her turning into that after the chronology of Rise of Skywalker. Best Rey moment in the series: Pottering around her home on Jakku to Rey's theme.

"No Luke Skywalker, I am your father" isn't really the twist boomers make it out to be. It's predictable, dull and I have no respect for it. imo, it's dwarfed by twists like the end of R1 where all the principal characters are killed off and we switch to secondary ones for the last bit. Or the twist in Phantom Menace where Qui Gon dies. That blew my mind as a child. Hell, the twists so far of Mando are even more impressive.

Imagine fifteen parallel worlds to this one. Each has contains one unique Star Wars film. We live in the sixtieth with all of them. There is no tv shows or EU akin to ours for simplicity's sake - they have their own unknown ones. Which world would be the most confused? Which the most impressed? Which the most grateful? I feel the worlds with the first and second Ewok films would be pretty satisfied. As would the Christmas special world - albeit parents would probably be a bit confused but kids would catch on to the simple plot. The world with the animated Clone Wars film (2008 was it?) would be stoked as its a fun. The world with A New Hope would probably be the most coherent in terms of placing star wars somewhere. There would probably be quite a bit of EU - but for whatever reason the cries for more films would go unheeded. Maybe it would be seen as a cursed venture. I feel Empire Strikes Back world would also make some sense. It would probably garner much more comparisons to Blake's 7. I do feel TFA would be a massive hit - mindblowing and incredible. The Last Jedi would be odd and weird. The Skywalker final film would be absolutely insane in it's response. I can't help but feel it would be a huge hit. Rogue One would be a small genre niche film.

Screenrant is awful. They will do articles like "doom 7 video game leaked!" And then the article is just word salad around a Reddit post from /r/doomfanart and also mention in the article they didn't say it was a real leak so it's on you bud. New star ✨🔫 watch order: Copy pasting all screenrant articles that mention star wars Running them through a text-to-speech Recording this into a YouTube video Playing the video full screen The image for the video is buff jarjar

I read somewhere recently they are looking to reboot Ghostbusters again which just makes my heart hurt. On the topic of the star wars, my first watch order list of 2022 is about to drop... Oh poo poo... Here it is: Watch Order for January 2022 Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (1999) Episode 2: Attack of the Clones (2002) Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith (2005) Solo Rogue One Episode 4: A New Hope Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back Episode 6: Return of the Jedi And that's a great place to leave it.

I want to spend eternity scouring the library of babu frik for books that list obscure watch orders. The archaic star wars revival. The arcane watch orders sought by the coughman death squads. Perhaps one is missing. But then again, If an item does not appear in our records it does not exist.

As time goes on I become more convinced Disney intentionally tanked the ST in order to freeze the collective cultural memory of star wars in the place that generates the most revenue. Merch, IPs, iconic characters. There is literally no incentive for them to have 'story' as what people think of when they think of star wars over 'iconic characters'. They killed the one part of star wars which could have left their characters in the dust: narrative.

I've really enjoyed the discussion of the last couple pages btw. This is the poo poo. I rewatched Rogue One a couple days ago. The mind-bending alien land squid near the end of act 1 is so weirdly placed. They build it up as a threat but it doesn't really do anything but daze an ancillary character?? There is also this moment where K2 is sent away "Go back to the ship and wait for us there" on Jedha and its ever so slightly odd. Like, they needed to get rid of him for the plot to move forward but didn't do any proper shoots around it. It kind of looks like they reshot the line, and he runs away in a video game/frictionless CGI way. I don't know, maybe I'm reading into it. I just think, much like Solo, you really see the seams of Rogue One. Its still my favourite of the Disney films and its freaking awesome in many ways. They blow up all the main characters. Good, yes, finally, something like that!

Yes,see! Well said. Rogue One is cool, if I had to rank the DISNEYS: Rogue One The Last Jedi Solo The Force Awakens The Rise of Skywalker The Solo rankinge is contentious for me. I think I enjoy it much, much more when I treat the main guy like just some guy and not actually HanSolo. Like, he just happens to have the same name because the galaxy has trillions of beings. Or something.

It was in this very thread that somebody said one of the reasons Disney double downed on blood lineage for force users was centralising who gets to be a hero and it broke me. Disney actively squashed the 'anybody could be a jedi' vibes of the Lucas films in order to promote hero worship of their IP collectibles jesus christ. I mean, the whole enterprise of star wars is capital from the start but I don't know. I'm too sober to be posting like this.

Jerkface posted:That bit in TFA was always incongruous with the story. Its even incongruous with the story as presented in the same movie, but also directly contradicts the comics and book tie in junk. Poe has an entire comic run where he fights the first order constantly and they have ships and stuff. In the movie he acts wowed by the interior of the star destroyer because there is so much shiny things and personnel but he knows who the first order is and fights them at the beginning. Then by the end they are all unsurprised that the FO has finished their super weapon ?!?!

Podracing was awesome and Disney will do a podracing trilogy in eight years time. Also, it's time for a new watch order list: Episode 1 Episode 2 Force Awakens I think that's all the films that include podracing in one way or another. Wupwup!
