STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI

[liljoe]

It's hard to think it won't be the top grosser of the year.

Oh yeah, it's basically a done deal. I'm thinking its total domestic gross will be between 660-675 million, would have to develop serious legs to get past that. 700 would be nice but that might not happen.

I was watching the Throne Room battle and part of me couldn't help thinking, "Prime, Healthy, Motivated Maul with That Look in his eyes makes all of them his prison bitches"

Maul could prolly take out all of them, except Rey of course! He would probably slip on a banana peel and Rey would one shot him with a borrowed light saber.

Good news everybody. Box Office is chugging along. As of today, it is the fastest earner outside of TFA. Beating previous #2 Jurassic World by several million. Day 13 domestic gross is 445 million, at this point Jurassic was at 437 million. TLJ will hit 500 million+ by Sunday/Monday at the latest, and 1 billion global will be in the bag by Saturday/Sunday.

Will be # 1 movie of 2017 on Monday as well.

As long as it doesnt as make as much as TFA, then all hope for humanity isnt lost.

Guy in second video didn’t do his homework. In filming Vader (prouse) said “Obi-wan kill d your father” not Obi wan is your father

It wouldn't have done so even if it were considered across the board stellar. TFA was Joe-Rogan-Once-in-a-lifetime type shit in terms of following up the much-loved OT with a direct sequel which no one thought was ever going to happen. That was the perfect storm of hype- thirty year gap and you had a movie being made with the original stars.

The big test will be to see how the follow up to the Last Jedi does. Because, honestly, if there is not significant audience erosion, at least domestically, I'd be pretty surprised. And I liked TLJ, it's just clear that there are enough people who disliked it that likely may not even come back for the third film.

Also, there's less incentive, what with Fisher, Ford, and Hamill gone and the basic conflict being one of similar threat and stakes to the OT. Been there, done that.

I really wish I could see what Lucas's vision would be. I'd like to see more George Lucas Star Wars movies, but the problem seemed to be that Lucas wasn't especially interested in making more Star Wars movies. Disney at least seems very interested in continuing to tell the SW story, to the tune of what's probably going to be one to two movies per year (counting spin-offs) for the foreseeable future.

I have no idea if Lucas giving up control is a good thing or a bad thing. And I guess now we never will know and I find that kind of regrettable.

And LOL @ the Gungans. It's worth noting that they barely appear in AOTC and ROTS. Even Jar Jar basically just has cameo appearances in those films.

Yeah key example of catering to fan feedback. Jar Jar also screws up royally in being the guy to nominate Palps to get war powers in AOTC too, doesn't he? I mean you can't really fault the guy- he's under a lot of pressure to do so and he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. It's mainly an issue of hindsight being 20/20 but still Jar Jar screwed the pooch.

In ROTS he is only at the Padme funeral.

Unfortunately, these were another one of Rian Johnson's jokes to himself at the expense of the audience. They're his metaphor for longtime or hardcore Star Wars fans that go to conventions and stuff. The Jedi Caretakers have "protected the Jedi ways since they were created" and like the hardcore fans, the caretakers whine and bitch and scurry about when someone pokes a hole in a building on the island or changes something.

They're ugly little frog nun things (nuns=virgins) and it's no accident that Rey doesn't apologize when she knocks down an ancient statue and it rolls down and smashes the caretakers' (fans') wheelbarrow full of dumb old Jedi shit.

The double punch line is that these fans will go out and buy figurines of these creatures made to mock them. Gotcha!

hahah. wouldn't have thought of this interpretation but, as always, I like your logic.

If it was not for my kids I would probably not see the next one, Rian fucked SW for me.

I’d go see a han or Obi film if he wasn’t involved in the slightest.

I have no feeling of wanting left for the next one, after TFA instantly I wanted to see the next one.

Who the fuck is snoke? How did Luke’s lightsaber call to Rey? Why is Obi wan talking to her in her dreams? How did maz get the saber?

Is Finn force sensitive? Will he become a Jedi too? Wtf has like been doing and Discovered on his journey to find the Jedi temple?

Etc etc.

Laura Dern's character was fucking stupid. Purple haired granny is the commander? No. Purple haired anybody could fuck off. You could have put a male in her same exact role and i would have hated it. It was a terrible character and plot. But making it a woman, coupled with Leia already being in charge, Rey being the new force goddess, and Rose having to save dumb Finn's foolish little life/make him do the right thing, made this look like a furthering an agenda, instead of making a good, coherent film.

This explains it all. Some of the writers and producer.

This might be the first Star Wars film I never see.

Just got back from the theaters from watching this.

Its better than Force Awakens but not as good as Rogue One. I dont know what really went on in the end there, but dont really care. I've always been a casual Star Wars fan. I knew the basics but never went full fanboy. For me, Star Wars is blending into Fast and Furious/Saw-type territory. Just too many to keep up with. I thought I knew all the Jedi powers but seems they added more. Luke was doing shit I never knew a Jedi could do.

The story was meh. Acting was pretty bad. The red salt scene was cool. Hamill looked tiny and frail. 6/10

Well that's only going to get worse. Disney has said their plan is to make one Star Wars movie a year for as long as people will continue to pay to see them.

I hate him so much

If he does get his filthy hands on a SW trilogy in the old Republic, I can see his main characters already, though probably more diverse

But it's apparently crazy to think that there was a plan to make female empowerment a part of this movie....we were all just "looking for" things to bitch about
