Why do people on this forum like Rogue One so much? The only thing it had going for it was very good 70s Star Wars visuals and technology, and I guess just pure Star Wars porn at the end, and that can quickly get embarassing. That can be enough to enjoy it, but gently caress me if it's enough for it to be enjoyable or for a full rewatch. I could see rewatching the last 30-40 minutes, but Jesus Christ, I don't see much of worth in the 1 and a half hours preceding it.

Edgar posted:I tried rewatching the prequels to bring back nostalgia especially pod racing for the game cube. I fell asleep during the phantom menace. The only way I can "watch" them again is the plinkett reviews. Episode 1 is actually the only one of the prequels I kind of appreciate on a certain level because it's the only one that had lots of effort put into making it, with sets, locations and non-cgi designs. II and III are just so goddamn lazy, I mean Jesus Christ. Episode I is by far the biggest trainwreck of all of them, but that's partly because II and III don't really try as much so they can't fail as badly at everything. Episode I is also a frighteningly boring movie overall (only II exceeds it in boringness in the series), so I can't watch it anymore, because Jesus Christ is it the boring kind of trainwreck. Still I somehow manage to have a bit more respect for it than the following two, out of appreciation for what went into making it and that they were trying to make a real movie, rather than just finishing up the rest of the prequels on a sound stage with a greenscreen because they had to, because they made money (both on the movie itself and on related toys and video games).

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:Never understood why laser swords are better than laser guns and deflect them when they’re presumably the same kind of laser. If they aren’t, why didn’t they make the guns outta the same crystals? I think one good thing the prequels got as a story telling beat was making it clear Jedi were assholes, that always felt not clear enough in the OT There is no science in the Star Wars universe. Don't worry about it.

Vader' entrance in IV appearing calmly after the storm troopers is much cooler and more menacing than the stupid monster/video game poo poo he does in Rogue One. That scene is stupid and masturbatory, on the level of Yoda and the Emperor doing lightsaber poo poo.

ikanreed posted:Masturbation feels good Yes, but if I'm masturbating I'd rather it happen in private and that I'm watching something with naked people. The Vader monster scene was stupid and embarassing and indicative of someone who don't understand the original character. That said there's alot of Star Wars fans who don't understand what was good about Star Wars. Wookieepedia and the EU provides exhaustive documentary proof of this.

I hope it has Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor. That's the only thing that will make see part of it. Him as the Emperor is a cinematic delight almost regardless of context. Really I should thank Rian Johnson, because of his movie I am well and truly freed of watching any more Star Wars movies.

VideoTapir posted:He added plenty new, and most of it was just as terrible as JJ Abrams. Yeah people keep bringing up that as though its not bullshit. There was nothing in TFA which forced Rian Johnson to add a yo mama joke or write a 40-minute pointless B plot.

Frankenstyle posted:To be fair it had a very clear point, but it could have been made with less effort. It was also only eleven minutes of the movie. I'm talking about the Finn and Rose subplot and the casino planet and the plot to get the hacker which goes nowhere. That was not only 11 minutes.

Yeah, that's a little weird. The movie is messy, but when it works it really works, and it's passable as the conclusion to the things set up in Empire, even if it rushes through some of it in dumb ways (like Yoda). If you've seen the first two and liked them then you should probably see Jedi as well, even if it's not as good as the first two (and it hardly compares to Empire) and not nearly as tight and efficient as the first one.
