Saw Solo finally. Thought it was alright, but the focus in this film, and Last Jedi, on those dice is very very strange. The dice are in one shot in A New Hope and never show up again, and these two movies treat them like they're a central linchpin of Han's character.

Neo Rasa posted:I'm hearing this a lot and yeah, I don't get why the dice are suddenly important. I suppose they could have gone with the idea that Han won the falcon in a dice game and kept the dice, but that would have made sense and that's not what the filmmakers are going for these days.

Apparently the First Order really likes putting M-16 front sights on the top of their guns. I think this fellow's weapon looks like it's based on a MP7, but I could be wrong. Edit: No, looking at it closer the grip is angles, where that of an MP7 is straight. SolarFire2 fucked around with this message at 11:47 on Jul 11, 2019 |

Mat Cauthon posted:Great concept, terrible execution. There are some really fun sequences in there and I think had they cut the stupid teen romance you could've had something way better. The cast had Michael Roomer, Diane Lane and Sam Jackson to anchor the younger actors and Liman is reliable in turning in entertaining movies. Really curious what the hell went on behind the scenes there. I can agree with that. Although it was always laughable to me that the concept was that these two sides have been fighting for centuries, but for some reason have a treaty 'No guns guys, seriously.'

He deserves an explanation because he's a commanding officer on board the ship that's currently under attack. And the movie itself kind of forgets that if he hadn't ordered the bombers to attack the dreadnaught, it would have followed them and killed them all.

If they really wanted to please fans, the last scene in the movie would be a de-aged Luke Skywalker waking up and saying, "What a horrible nightmare." He then walks to the teachers lounge at the Jedi academy and tells Kyle Katarn he had this dream where nothing he did mattered and he and all his friends died as bitter old failures.

Pollyanna posted:The reality is that there’s going to be a lot of people for whom TROS is one of the best Star Wars movies of all time, because it’s bombastic, because it ends the Skywalker saga, and because it plays to emotional and nostalgic heartstrings. That’s enough for most viewers to lose their poo poo over it. But did people really want the Skywalker saga to end with ever single member of the bloodline dead?

My speculation/fanfic ending on hearing the title Rise of Skywalker was that Rey would come to the conclusion that the Jedi were a force for good, but Luke was right that there were also flaws in their techniques and philosophies. Flaws that made them too rigid and bred arrogance. So at the end of the movie, once she had become the ultimate Light Side force user. Ben, Finn, and maybe a few other force sensitive characters (There would be a revelation that like the main character in KOTOR 2, Rey subconsciously draws force-sensitives to her) would come to her asking to train them to be Jedi. She would consider the sacred texts she had and tell them, "I won't train you to be Jedi. I will train you to be Skywalkers." Rey founds the Skywalker order, roll credits.
