STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI

[Goonerview]

The Red Throne room was pretty epic looking:

This is what I wanted more of. NEW STUFF. I'm tired of storm troopers, tie fighters, x-wings, Rebels v Empire ... ugh ... give us more new stuff. Just tired of rehashed shit ...

Kylo Ren's sword, Kylo Ren's mask, this Red Throne Room ... This is what I want more of as a fan.

The prequels gave us new stuff, new planets, new aliens, new spaceships, new storm trooper armour ...etc

What's your point? It still have the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score of all of the Star Wars movies.

Some of the characters in the casino were much better than Lucas characters. Truth.

The only problem with the Casino scene is they needed a better way of integrating it into the larger story so it means something.
Visually, it is 100% Star Wars. Easily on par with the Cantina or Jabba's palace. Fits right in.

Trolls in RT

I wish they'd show that red room when nothing was going on.. Does Snoke just quietly sit there? Does he bullshit with the red guards about their families, personal lives, etc? If not, it would be boring in there

I think it's more ceremonial. A bit like the houses of parliament in the UK

Come on, it's not just trolls, bro.

Sherdog average is 6/10.

The critics have it at 91% ffs ... how about dem trolls?

The Last Jedi ruined the Star Wars trilogy. Shape of Water was weird but was a better made film by far.

Amazing.

Every word you just said was completely wrong.

Man, that's a handy line.

You know who ruined the STAR WARS trilogy? You did.

Enjoy your movie. If and where you're able.

"Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker. .."

"Lesson 1: The Force is blah blah blah."
"Lesson 2: The Jedi are failures, and Omg, you didn't even try to stop from going to the darkside! Fuck off!"

Luke's training was pretty awful. Luckily Rey is already god mode

Lol that is a BIG ASS problem.
It's THE complaint about it. No one is against seeing casinos in SW, it's that that entire side quest was a pointless waste of time

Bravo, well done. It really is a great line, and I've wanted to use it for awhile now. I believe you're the first

I thought it was pretty good additional world building even though it sputtered a little at first. It introduced us to the plutocracy that secretly profits from the war, and the orphan kids who represent the future of the resistance and the reason for it to exist. It also advanced Finn's character who learned to care about something besides himself and Rey. Plus they picked up BDT, who ended up betraying them and getting half the resistance killed. I'd say it served a lot of purposes.

If you lesser minds had your way THE LAST JEDI would be a ninety minute fight scene with Luke fighting the legions of Snoke who is really Rey's father.

Just watched the Mark Hammil interview thread, and she states that he signed on to do the new movies in the summer before Disney bought star wars.

Anyone know if the story was different, drastically changed by Disney, what was planned etc? @Dragonlordxxxxx I'm looking at you here.

People keep using "world building" as a defense to that scene as if anybody would be against the idea of richening the SW universe.
A plutocracy that we know nothing about. Who are all these rich aliens to us? Why should we care about what they do? They are faceless rich people.
Who cares about these random, dirty orphan kids? How are they going to represent the future Resistance? Is the next movie going to be set 20 years in the future? How long is this resistance going to last? Isn't the empire left pretty weak by the end of the movie?

Finn had no choice to help. He tried to escape and was tazed. And he never was portrayed as a selfish character. He left the Stormtroopers because he didn't want to kill. And considering that his and Rey's relationship has never been really solidified as to what it is, it makes no sense to continue focusing on it and then never defining or addressing it.

All of these things youre saying were just dimb filler points. Im not saying nothing happened. Yes, people talked, and met, and things happened. ..but they were all stupid. It was a lousy story that should have been a lot better and interesting than it was. It was pointless

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

Anakin aged but Padme didn't always thought that was fucking stupid.

She did to me, she no longer looked barely like Leon's tweenage daughter - she had less puppy fat.

It's not easy to write a convincing plan that is doomed to failure without tipping the outcome, but most of that is pure 100% Mr. Boolsshit Guys.
