Escobarbarian posted:Has anyone said how the Lord/Miller version of this movie would have been better yet? Because I will. The Lord/Miller version of this movie would definitely have been better. They probably wouldn’t have had anything as stupid as making Lando upset about the death of a ridiculous anarchist fuckbot either. why are we all calling her a "fuckbot". thats a bit weird.

Cross-Section posted:Anecdotally, it sucked being a young fan in the Prequel era. I had a few friends who liked Star Wars, but on the whole, admitting you enjoyed anything of the then-current films was basically painting a big "I'M A DORK, BULLY ME" sign on your tween back. What? They were very popular films, especially with children. I’m pretty sure bullies don’t pick their targets by their taste in Star Wars films. (If they did life would just be a little bit funnier.)

Cross-Section posted:Not solely, no, but if you really believe that kids don't often bully other kids for the most inconsequential poo poo (such as "liking the prequels") then I dunno what to tell you. I'm not trying to tell you that you weren't bullied but by definition an inconsequential thing doesn't really matter. I'm sure somewhere there is a bully who is beating up kids for playing hockey or whatever but hockey plays a very small part in that equation. (This is related to Star Wars spoilers because, uh, my uncle who works at Lucasfilm told me this is the plot of Episode IX.)

Wheat Loaf posted:Right. And there have been reports of leaked scenes of some characters having an audience with the Hutts. All this leads me to believe that the Reylo love child will probably be going ahead. From what I remember those "reports" were awfully similar to some guy's fanfiction that was written like a year ago.

I don't know if the stuff about re-editing Finn is at all accurate, but I am fairly certain that The Force Awakens was at least heavily recut, if not reshot. Like, wasn't there a whole sequence involving a Resistance super-weapon of some kind in the original version? And Maz Kanata originally came along with the Resistance to Takodana, as demonstrated by the lightsaber handover between her and Leia in the second teaser.

Glottis posted:I honestly don't really get the obsession with the original theatrical release. From what I can tell the changes they made are either (a) good, (b) quick and forgettable, or (c) one awful CGI musical number that I wish I hadn't just remembered. A decent amount of changes fall into (a) and (b) but there's a lot under the "awful CGI" category that you've forgotten about, e.g. most of the Tatooine CG additions in Episode IV. recently watched the THX 1138 director's cut for the first time and that suffers from the same issues too.

Neo Rasa posted:The THX-1138 director's cut is excellent IMO and actually achieves the scope he was going for and complements what he wanted to do with the movie consistently. Note that the changes weren't all necessarily CG being added into shots but stuff like the TV scene just being re-shot completely and having some shots shrunken down a bit and placed within the CG backgrop and also subtle All Cockpit Glass In Revenge of the Sith is CG level stuff like the typography and signage being altered in some spots to be more readable or/and look less like a dollar store employees only sign from the 70s. I think the only change I thought sucked when it dropped is towards the end when Donald Pleasence is shook by that odd CG scorpion spidery creature? It was way more effective thematically for the character when it was just a common mouse. Most of the CG changes aren't as awful as the ones in the OT, but certain stuff has the air of decisions like the extra robots in the background of Mos Eisley - unnecessary and distracting. There are also two more major moments of shoddy CG: the extension to the start of the car chase, and the monkey-men at the end. Probably more what he wanted the monkey-men to look like, whatever, but it's still very poorly done. (You're probably right that there's plenty of good stuff too, but I haven't seen the original.)

Blast Fantasto posted:The funny thing about “not having palpatine in this story would be crazy!” is that that line of thinking way more makes sense for Anakin who has a major presence as the fallen hero in the PT and the redeemed villain in the OT and who could conceivably appear in the ST as a full on hero/guiding mentor. can't believe the bastards at disney are refusing to bring back Sebastian Shaw, a man who has been dead for 25 years, as Anakin Skywalker

Payndz posted:It's kind of mindblowing that a movie seemingly built on "let's take what you've seen before and mess with it!" didn't go the opposite way to Empire at that point and have the hero join the villain. You had one film end on a cliffhanger, why not the next? Two years of "holy poo poo, she said yes! What's going to happen next?" would raise a hell of a lot more anticipation than "so the good guys are gonna rebuild and take on the bad guys, somehow, I guess?" I get that "subverting expectations" is the meme about The Last Jedi but the other subversions at least have reasons to exist. This would just be stupid.

that the best defence he can offer of his entire philosophy that he sets up for himself is "maybe" is an admission that it's an act he uses to justify his own selfishness. kylo's philosophy of "letting the past die" is similarly not genuine.

Kylo's idea of stopping the conflict is to get his girlfriend to be a dictator with him. DJ's motto is "live free, don't join" while he tries his hardest to profit from the conflict in the same way as the arms dealers do. but the thing is with conflicts of this nature is you can't just pretend they don't exist. you can't have peace while the conflict is still going on and you ultimately will have to pick a side. they are pretending to be neutral, not to have chosen a side, but both are ultimately aligned with the fascists.

pospysyl posted:DJ and Rose are meant to be read as foils. Most of the Casino Night Zone plotline is exposition on the nature of the weapon traders on Canto Bight. Both DJ and Rose share a deeper perspective on what those weapon traders represent than Finn, the audience surrogate. DJ's explanation that the traders sold weapons to the Resistance is deeper than Rose's, but not incongruous. Rose and DJ's perspectives sync up to an extent, hence Rose allowing DJ to use her super special necklace; they understand each other. Rose doesn't believe that because she thinks it's good to fight fascists, and bad to not fight fascists. the resistance (and the republic before it in the prequels, and the rebellion) are not perfect (because they are liberals) but are better than the first order or the empire (who are fascists). cargohills fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Dec 11, 2019 |

Gonz posted:ROTJ Luke: “I know there is good in you. The Emperor hasn't driven it from you fully.That was why you couldn't destroy me. That's why you won't bring me to your Emperor now.” he cuts his father's hand off in a rage after saying that first line there. pospysyl posted:Okay, but you realize this is a false dilemma, right? Having to choose between fascists and a bunch of fractious children who literally cannot make a decision to save their lives sucks. TLJ could have conveyed DJ's choice to abandon both sides by having him found a third faction that's better than both of the others, or request to have his family freed from slavery, but TLJ frames his decision as straightforwardly selfish and wrong. From this, we can gather the movie is making one of two arguments: the resistance is implicated in buying arms (which they'll have to supply somehow) and make some tactical blunders but are otherwise portrayed as good-hearted and genuine. they come across as a hell of a lot better than the corrupt republic, and even that is worth fighting to restore according to the six films which George Lucas was involved in. (and, not to go too into real politics talk, there have in real life been wars fought by bad people against much, much worse people, and in the same way stepping back from them would not have helped anyone.)

I really don't get the shock about this online. They're reusing old unused footage, like they said they would, and they touched it up a bit to make it fit the story/setting of the new film.
