Hendo Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I’d fucking hope so. We need Luke getting woken up by Rey, shaking his head and going, “so, you say my sister wants to see me?”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikzilla Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Star Wars Episode IX: The Last Jedi Was Just A Bad Dream I have a feel JJ will be doing lots classy retconning to bring it closer to what his idea for IX was originally. He threw out Colin Trevorrow’s script when he signed on so I think there’s going to be a lot packed into it. I would t be surprised if running time hits 3 hours like Avengers: Endgame.

HandsomeDead Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Ep IX will be lucky to be as good VII. I like JJ, but it won't have the depth of the previous film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 How can you say 7 had depth? That film is as fan service and as easy as they come “Let us do the exact same shit, but tweak it a tiny bit” 8 has problems for sure, it’s a better essay than movie. But there’s so much more to unpack and love in than movie that the superficial “look it’s the thing you like!” nature of 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 He said the "previous film" you dumb pokeball man I hope IX is cool anyway. Found VIII boring and kind of an ordeal. At least it looked pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 It’s structured like JJ’s previous film you screaming blue simpleton The same reason you misinterpreted he’s post is the same reason you don’t like 8 because you don’t read between the lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I did not find the thesis of VIII that interesting. "Leave the past behind". Yes, very good, you took some unexpected turns with some characters. You played with the idea of what roles these characters are supposed to play in a "Star Wars" movie and then undermined people's expectations of them, but that's just one third of the film The rest of it spe t hours on boring plots with a confusing mutiny sideplot with Laura Dern and then Finn and Rose ran around doin dull shite. Boo-urns to episode VIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The Finn and Rose part is the big glaring thing for me in 8. It is entirely irrelevant as far as I can tell. It is amazing to me that a film like that gets passed through so many thousands of hands and yet combined that was the best thing they thought of them two to do. But the thematics of the film everywhere else I just eat up and adore. I know it’s only a little thing, but at the end when the kid is standing there with the broom stick and the force theme swelling it’s like oh that’s what it is. Star Wars is more than Star Wars, and sometimes, like in 7, holding on to all the old shit actually holds it back. Real Star Wars is not a tie fighter sound effect it’s a feeling of adventure.

HandsomeDead Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Finn and Rose embody the entire thesis of the film. It's not about leaving the past behind. It's about learning the right lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandsomeDead Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Their time in the centre third could have been used better, but the entire film punishes traditional movie heroics. Poe getting demoted etc. When Rose stopped Finn's needless suicide run and told him "it's not about killing people you hate but saving the ones you love" (paraphrasing) I think that ties together and sets the precident for everyone elses final decisions. Luke distracts them long enough. Poe retreets despite his usual decisions. Etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 You have not improved my view of the plot line. Explanation rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Yeah, I don't buy that theory of the plot. A more interesting theory is the idea that Jar Jar is a secret fascist who was colluding with Palatine all the time. Jar Jar is the key to all of this.
