Yeah that was crazy
Have you seen this trailer for the new sci fi documentary coming out?
Haven’t seen that, thanks for posting

For this finale, would you rather JJ or Rian? I seriously think JJ will make a good movie, I could be wrong and flame me if it happens. They offered JJ the position that KK had and he flat out refused
That's the huge difficulty in finding a balance; earlier you said it would have been cooler had more backstory been added to certain characters. I don't blame anyone for wanting more, and good writing should be enough to make people want more without giving away too much or, even worse, requiring the fans to do further research. I get that complaint totally, but I think it's largely unfounded.To me Star Wars is the ultimate example of less is more, and sometimes it's good to leave some plot elements shadowy.
Link or didn't happenYou just said it 20 minutes ago. I'm going to stop conversing with you because there's something seriously wrong with you. Your obsessive replies are already a red flag, but forgetting what you said 20 minutes ago just seems a little too crazy for me. Bye.
And ultimately, there's few things that can live up to your imagination. For me it's a rare and memorable moment when something does. The Kotor games do the same thing. They mention the Mandalorian conflict, how brutal and horrific it was, capped off by the jedi using a weapon of mass destruction. And then the game takes off from there and you have your own adventures, informed by that conflict without clumsily going through all of it in underwhelming flashbacks. It's a fine balancing act.
I felt all those points were intact in the movie already, so why are we looking forward to finding that out?That's one opinion. There very well could be.
Yes, but everyone does not know that the New Republic still has a star fleet spread out across all its members. There are a lot of people who think blowing up those planets in TFA & then wiping out the rebels is a lock. There are also a lot of people who don't realize the First Order is much bigger than those 8 ships you saw following the Raddus. So you're welcome for my information telling you otherwise that you reduced to nothing in your response.
That's not obvious. The force was awakened in Rey. The only indication we've gotten so far about anyone else has been broom kid which your hater group seems so eager to talk sh*t about.
Well, you got a point there... but broom kid was essential to allow people to understand that. Now, we have to think about why they did that. Why did they make a point to show us that other people still have the force? This is the reason I speculate that there's going to be a gap in the timeline. I don't care either way.... I just presented a point of view that says they put broom kid in there for a reason... & if these casual force users aren't going to be trained.... then what's even the point of that scene. That's why I find it likely there's a time gap. It's just a theory.
All that cool stuff I outlined in my essay & you reduce it to that... please man... you gotta be trolling. Basically, I outlined an epic battle with examples of how the main characters might be involved & gave a couple of different scenarios based on whether or not there's a time gap... & you're saying oh, well that's obvious so it doesn't count. Lol... everything is obvious once I've pointed it all out.
Probably because people were thinking "not again."Why though? The entire series has Force children, Clone wars, Rebels have entire arcs on destroying these kids before they become
Powerful. Hell even the comics.
It's cool when there's more backstory, if that backstory is good. Which is of course subjective. When it's bad, it actually detracts from the original source material. Now when I watch the OT and they mention the Clone Wars, I think...That's the huge difficulty in finding a balance; earlier you said it would have been cooler had more backstory been added to certain characters.

The thread got bumped with the fan made poster, you were in here shortly after to bitch about it like you do whenever someone expresses their distaste with the series.Dude, I haven't been in here in a couple of weeks. The only reason I came in here is because someone tagged me & so I spent a little time going through the thread.
That's your memory of the Solo thread? I seem to remember you desperately defending the abysmal box office performance, and making the bold claim that Star Wars isn't dying. Proving you know as little about how the box office works as you know about movies in general.I'm sorry if I ruffled y'allz hater club featherz leading up to Solo & made you haters look like a bunch of casuals but it had to be done... but I'm over it now. I've given the thread back to you... but that doesn't mean I won't stop in from time to time & kick you in the ass a bit for old times sake yeah?
Didn't know it was on Netflix already......I saw last jedi was on netflix with the quickness. Drunk as shit, i almost clicked on it. Almost..
Im a closet masochist.
That's not how the marvel films are though. The comics created the characters and have told stories for decades, the movies are adaptations of those characters and stories. You can watch all the movies and understand everything without reading a comic book or wikipedia.the universe has gone the way of Marvel, you need to read a ton of shit to understand the whole story
I really do understand why you think all that. I've been in these discussions long enough to see this before.... I just don't agree with it. Especially with another act we haven't even seen. All that info you gave me about the original trilogy wasn't explained in the first 2 movies.... & even if it was, it doesn't mean that this one has to. Fact is I never knew who the emperor was till 2 decades later... & I don't need to know who Snoke is neither.Those movies weren't building on an already established continuity. We knew there was an evil tyrannical Empire that rules the galaxy. We knew there had been a conflict called the clone wars. We knew that there had been guardians of peace and order called Jedi that were wiped out. We knew a former Jedi had turned to evil and sided with the Empire. We knew that there had formally been a galactic senate which had just been disbanded near the start of the original film. The Emperor was the ruler of this Empire. We didn't need to know how exactly he got there or how everything got to be the way it was. An evil Empire needs an evil Emperor, it's as simple as that. He was even originally conceived of as an evil force user. When the first film was made the idea was that he was just a normal politician, albeit one in a supreme position of power. That's probably why they barely mention him in that film.
These new movies are supposed to be sequels. Somehow all the good that was done in the OT has been undone, there's a new evil Empire and a new evil Emperor. Normally it requires some explanation as to how exactly the state of the galaxy has been reset back to default. Then Last Jedi makes him the cause of Kylo Ren's corruption, and therefore Luke's uncharacteristic abandoning of all his family, friends and values, yet also kills him off with no additional information provided. It's lazy world building, and anticlimactic storytelling.
Maybe! But it’s always been that way, look at all the kids anakin slayed! Kids with an affinity to the force are the whole story line, why complain now?Probably because people were thinking "not again."
Didn't know it was on Netflix already......
Sadly, I'm gonna have to rewatch it at some point after all of this discussion about it. Le sigh. Do not want.
It's so rare to follow up something awesome,with something that doesn't make you sad. That's why Aliens, T2, and ESB are some of my favorite movies ever. After all that time to sit around and speculate what if, they actually came out with something that exceeded expectations. So rare.For every Godfather 2 and rise to prominence of Vito Corleone, it seems like there's a whole crap load of The Thing 2011, Terminator: Salvation and Carlito's Way: Rise to Power.
Fair enough, but doubtful anyone knows the whole story without reading the comics. I’m not arguing, Star Wars could’ve done better with certain story introductions.That's not how the marvel films are though. The comics created the characters and have told stories for decades, the movies are adaptations of those characters and stories. You can watch all the movies and understand everything without reading a comic book or wikipedia.
unless it's Thanos. In that case we just accept that there's this big dude who can beat up Hulk without any prior background.... & his whole crew of baddies just show up & do sh*t & we know nothing about them either.That's not how the marvel films are though.

I get that but the very mechanism that led people away from Jake Skywalker is the same that can bring them back. New information changes.It's not something cool like you're thinking, leave that stone unturned.
Have you seen READY PLAYER ONE???I'm a big gamer, my favorite hobby
