feedmegin posted:He has a habit of making poo poo up after the fact though. What does it matter when it's kinda obvious from just watching the movie? Tolkien said LotR wasn't influenced by his experiences in WWI when uh, it's pretty clear where he got, as an example, his disdain for Saruman's tinkering with technology to drive his war on Rohan. Authors might be full of poo poo, authors might be honest, but they all have one thing in common: They dead.

Starkiller base is a deeply unoriginal threat, but, the light of the sun being snuffed out leading to the darkness going over Kylo's face just before he kills Han is a legitimately great moment.

Agreed, too bad it wasn't followed by a wave of cold as if it were the Day After Tomorrow.

Lucas may make up and add extra poo poo to his stories sometimes, but when he does, it's a fully produced piece of media instead of just tweeting that nobody poops. I'd also say that death of the author is sometimes overrated as a literary theory.

I do think it is helpful to turn to the director or script or whatever for pointers in analysis, but when when the public consciousness has Lucas in mind as the silly dweeb from the RLM-review who would mispronounce Gungas and couldn't direct actors out of a wet paper bag, it kinda becomes important to point out that you can look at movies without having the director's intentions looming over how you understand things.

JJ has a legitimate talent for seizing on or creating visually intriguing scenes. Unfortunately he has no idea how to make those scenes happen organically or how to construct the film so the scenes make sense or have emotional heft or anything. S'why Mystery Boxes have worked so well for him, the promise that there's some explanation for all the questions he raises helps keep audiences engaged while he works his magics. Until the sequel or next season inevitably disappoints for its inability to resolve those questions.

To this day, I still can't believe that the Sequel "Trilogy" only had two parts to it. I hope they get around to making an Episode IX eventually.

In this case, they're not CG in the same way that the Rogue One ghouls were. They just copy/pasted the characters' faces in from similarly-angled shots in the OT, the same way they did with Leia in the rest of the movie.

I still circle back to what an incredibly stupid line 'We don't win by fighting what we hate, we win by saving what we love' line is. Did Rose think Finn just really hated that particular death star laser? Or was he doing it to try to protect the last of the Resistance, when that laser punching through the door would result in the complete slaughter of every last one of them?

reignofevil posted:Movie needed to pick a lane on suicide ramming. Why couldn't the other ships that she left to die horribly suicide ram if that was an option on the table. I'm sure those captains she sacrificed would've liked to have the option of either using the last of their lives to attack the empire or evacuating. Come to think of it, the movie's pretty split on the idea of running away as well, considering how at the start of the movie they're ready to shoot potential deserters like the rebels are some kind of army of conscripts, and yet Poe's supposed to be the stupid one later for wanting to not toss away the flagship while Holdo's planning to flee, and the final running away after an army of hundreds in warships has been reduced to like 30 people in a winnebago is supposed to be some kind of triumphant moment.

I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be 12 rebels in the winnebago. On account of the Jesus thing.

Which would mean Rian Johnson doesn't see droids as people. One of the remaining rebels is just offscreen on the left, and one is obscured behind the group on the right, but it looks like there's definitely supposed to be 13 living people aboard the Falcon here (12 rebels plus Rey, their savior).

As dumb as the scene in Solo where the guy gives Han a last name at least it was a situation where it was natural that they were talking about names. Not just some random lady wandering by who for some reason requires a full name.

Listen, we may live in a galaxy with hundreds/thousands of inhabited planets each with their own cultural norms but by god you better have a last name. Just ignore all those other characters who just have one name, like Finn.

So, like how do you think the very pushy lady would have reacted to Rey dropping the name of the galactic dictator who came back from the dead (in fortnite) when pressed for a surname.
