Would have been so much better if Leia rammed Snokes ship. What a missed opportunity. |
Rumor has it that Leia made a huge speech in TFA that ended up being cut, and JJ is pushing really hard to re-use it in Ep. 9.

It would just be too jarring to see them make Leia do Dooku-esque sword fighting. Why not show that there's force abilities that trump even the singular most recognizable object of a force wielder? |

The Last Jedi has annoyed me more and more as time has gone on, but even that said I know I can't not see IX within the first week of it coming out. I mean shit, I'm 40 years invested into this thing now. I might as well see it through to the end, even if I do find myself practically begging for Lucas himself to show up with Ewoks and Gungans in tow to save the end and epilogue of this epic story. |

That doesn't happen in Star Wars anymore. Now they just want to shit on the past and preach. So no - anything you want to see happen won't. And when it doesn't, you'll still come to this thread and squeal about how great yet another Disney Led POS installment to this franchise was. |

ThrowAnother9’ also discussed multiple impressions from the set of the film, which is apparently the first time he’s ever been on a Star Wars set. He refused to spoil anything, given that jobs would be on the line if he did, but he was willing to share that two co-workers that are longtime fans of the franchise and Legends material – one of whom enjoyed The Last Jedi, and one who decidedly did not – were both immensely satisfied with the footage that was coming together. As in, “tears of joy” satisfied. That’s some high praise. He also noted that this praise didn’t mean that fans would like absolutely everything in the film, but it certainly seems like Lucasfilm is happy with the film. Outside of internal reactions, ThrowAnother9 explained that the scale of the film is incredibly large, even by Star Wars standards, and fans will be surprised. Filming is currently focused on the third act of the film, which only makes sense with how J. J. Abrams prefers to film his movies in sequence as much as possible. A lot is being filmed in a short period of time, which makes the technical accomplishments on the film all the more impressive. There’s also an abundance of behind-the-scenes content being produced simultaneously during the production, so it’s possible that we could see documentaries as extensive as Secrets of The Force Awakens: A Cinematic Journey and The Director and the Jedi hit the Blu-Ray. One last thing he stated is that the Millennium Falcon is back, but that goes without saying. |

They said it about the prequels. They said it about the sequels. They even said TLJ was the best film since Empire and it was mostly a flaming piece of crap for a lot of Star Wars fans. All that said... https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....1nvkwg1GCL.jpg |

As to Epi 9, I'm out. This will be the first time in 42 years that I will NOT be attending the cinema to watch the latest SW movie. Disney and KK have successfully driven me away. |
Quote:
And I'm right there with you regarding IX. I'd love to see another Solo movie. But they've destroyed the main story line. |
The Last Jedi just positively ****ed the Skywalker Saga right into the ground. I can deal with the carbon copy that was The Force Awakens, but like I said, JJ better just crush it to redeem Disney in IX. Downside is that if he does, KK probably stays as long as she wants.
|
After having time to look at and process everything, I just came to realize that the new characters would never be developed in to anything meaningful, the writing was dumb as ****, and the creative well has run dry.
It's just a shame. |

I don’t think there’s anything they can do to make this an interesting story arc. They need to end the skywalker story and either end the series(they won’t) or change owner ahip

I'll watch this thing just to finish this trilogy. After that, I'm officially done with Star Wars...a film series that had it's last good episode in 1983. **** the prequels, and **** all the shit since. TLJ tore it for me.

And Kasdan needs to be executed for even allowing this horse shit to flourish under his watch. He had every opportunity to shape and move this thing in a direction that could be meaningful, and chose instead to let morons have the final say on things.

Nothing can be done. JJ has already proven that he sucks at this, Kasdan might as well have not even been involved, and the three top original characters are now dead, with the exception of CGI Leia.
No one gives a **** about Mary Sue because that character was written and handled so shittily, Poe and Finn have ZERO substance and development as characters, Rose just needs to ****ing die, Kylo Ren can't figure out what the **** HE is, and all that leaves is Chewbacca and droids who don't really "talk" and that's probably to their benefit this time around. **** Disney. |

I want you to imagine someone walking up to ESB Lando and asking him if he's "****ed any good droids lately"(?) Seriously; are these people at Disney ****ing reeruned? |

Seriously.. there has been zero character development two movies on.. who gives a ****? Kill all of them. |
Quote:
Hey, look, here's another aspect of the new movies that sucks. I hadn't really thought about it. But you're right. In the old trilogy the main characters (mostly) either grew as the show went on or were iconic and just revealed more and more depth to the audience. In the new movies they just flop around like fish on a pier until the credits roll. |
There was a lot of character development.
Poe learned to blindly follow his female superiors, even when they do stuff that makes no sense. (And still doesn’t) Rae has become more powerful than a Sith Lord over a few days span. Finn learned about what’s truly important: Love. Princess Mary Poppins ....errr....I guess she didn’t learn or grow for shit Grand Leader Snoke died. Probably the best character arc ever written Admiral Ackbar came full circle and fulfilled his destiny of becoming frozen fish. Luke has always been an unenthusiastic loser that always saw the worst in people until Rae opened his eyes. Wait, what? Yeah, this was a bad Star Wars movie. No direction and baffling story lines. |

Man did Disney ever **** up Star Wars. |
If I were tapped to finish this trilogy, my Epi 9 would go something like this:
The little bastard kids from the space-kangaroo/horse stables at the end of TLJ steal a good sized space yacht from Lando on Canto Bight. Since the force is so ****ed up in these movies, we'll go ahead and say that the boy with the broom has become powerful enough to track force users through space( see how this works? I can be a reerun too! ). They travel to a space battle where every single member of the Resistance and the entire First Order are engaged in combat, and things are looking grim for the Resistance. The spirit of Luke Skywalker, who cares nothing for anyone now that he's dead, uses the force to line the kids' stolen Lando-Yacht up like a killer ace pool-shot, engages the hyperdrive, and everyone dies. THE END! |

It would be lame to do, but it would let the writers have a long distance to get away from it all. Finn and Rose still together? Nope. Rose died fighting somewhere we don't care about. Finn is still a ****tard character that is given stupid as comedic spots that aren't needed? No. Now he has personally murdered a shit load of people and "seen some shit, man." He is emotionally ****ed, deeply troubled, and out for blood like a true terrorist. Maybe he has started to lean into a Saw Gerrera mentality. He can lead, and people follow like devoted disciples. Poe is a hothead with an ego and a terrible stand-in for the classic Han role? Now he's older wiser, and maybe has some kind of noticeable battle scar to set his new action figures apart from the previous ones. The legend and mythos of Rey/Ren is nothing to be impressed by or fear? Now they've got time and battles under their belts. Rey has been training more while Ren has been murdering more. The resistance was a dozen or fewer aliens and mobile trashcans? Nope. Now it's grown in number and ability. This is effectively hitting the reset button. I cannot think of any other way to save this dumpster fire. And like I said, this would be lame, but it would be better. edit: Also have a new rebel character named "Rian" and show Ren melting him in the lava of Mustafar in an attempt to extract information from him during the first act... to really show how far LORD REN has come. Because he needs to be LORD REN by now. |
As someone previously mentioned here, the biggest problem with Star Wars is that none of the stories are screaming to be told. Episode IV works well enough as a standalone flick. It was a basic hero's journey story with some Eastern trappings.

So, that might help, but it can't stop the fact that Disney and KK just don't get it. They never have from the beginning and TLJ just drove that point home like Clay banging a single mom with big titties and a full-time babysitter. |
They absolutely need a time jump if for no other reason than to get rid of Leia.
I still won't be seeing this in the theaters. It's unreal how badly TLJ ruined that franchise for me. |
To think, I was excited when TFA came out, even though its produced by Disney and is a reboot. I really for some reason thought OK, that first one was to set everything right and leave us with an interesting story arc and some characters that we might actually like and want to see grow...
Then TLJ...fuuuuuuuck.... |
I can't wait to see what the opening box office numbers for this movie are. I am actually kinda giddy to see them fail at this point. Maybe then they will get it but I doubt it. They still think the Russians did it.

I will always contend that the real problems started with TFA.
How they didn't sit down and chart out the 3 movies with a unified vision is baffling to me. Especially with the success Marvel has seen by playing it that way. JJ screwed things the moment he was allowed to make A New Hope Awakens. |
Quote:
This shit isn't hard if you stick to two simple concepts: 1) Classic heroes doing classic things. 2) Hire writers who are proven skilled at their craft and want a crack at crafting a NEW story for the movie side of the franchise. See how easy that was? |
Quote:
The problem is that where IV was followed by an amazing episode V, VII was followed by a shit VIII. The problem, as you correctly identified, was the lack of a unified vision. That didn't HAVE to happen just because Abrams made a largely reductive re-boot in TFA. There was still a foundation for a great next episode there. But the man, what an absolute piece of shit they made instead. |
No one wanted a reboot.
NO ONE. And they hid that sad shit for as long as they could. I remember when "Starkiller Base" was revealed; you could hear groans the entire world over. It's easy to make a short trailer exciting and hype people up. It's much harder to make a real movie. Hell, that "robot girl" movie looks more exciting than anything Disney has dreamed up for SW. ( Yes, that bitch with the big google eyes ) |
Quote:
The only thing I'll add to the other point is that JJ's unoriginality put any writer into a box for 8. Everything was set up for 8 to be a reboot of ESB. Rey (Luke) had found a master Jedi (Yoda) Who was this mysterious figure leading the primary antagonist? (Emporer-Snoke). The rebels were now on the run after destroying the StarKiller Death Star. Poe and Finn were the wildcards, but as it turns out, their characters didn't have designed arcs in 7 (Hell, Poe was supposed to die in the first fifteen minutes of TFA), and their arcs overstuffed the story. JJ also created very real problems for the next director. JJ fully intended on Luke to be a master of the force on par with Yoda... but if that were true - why would he let Han die and the entire resistance be shattered if Luke were truly a Jedi Master. Putting Luke into his favorite mystery box was a terrible mistake. How in the hell was it not a mandate to have a final scene with Luke, Han and Leia? I do think that these things could have been solved if all three movies had been charted out - but they weren't, and all JJ seemed to do was soft reboot ANH and set up a reboot for ESB. Anywho - I'm ranting. The hate many feel for TLJ is what I feel for TFA. Sure, it's a fine movie in a vacuum, but I think it was a terrible set-up when there was no unified vision for this series. |
