Star Wars Universe Thread: May The 4th Be With You

[SC kid]

Here's a comparison of tlj to all other star wars films.

I think everyone in this thread will be mad/shocked loool

Interesting take nonetheless

You know what? I'm going to re-watch TFA and TLJ back to back to get a better context of things. Sometimes watching it all together makes it make more sense.

Basically, TLJ said Fruckouttahere to everything that happened in TFA.

Basically, TLJ said Fruckouttahere to everything that happened in TFA and the original trilogy.

Fixed.

If i'm Mark hamill I refuse to take part in the next movie.

I also hated how Kylo unsheathes his saber. He had this stupid stance each time.... Looking like hunchback of star wars

Yeah, out of all the things RJ kept consistent from TFA, it's Ren's fighting stance

They're most definitely bringing homey back as force ghost. He should be used to it since half his scene time in tlj was a fricking ghost....

Someone posted on here about the bombing of the Dreadnaught scene and how the bombs drop directly on the ship when they are in space and there’s gravity....

Literally am legit flabbergasted by this! Smh

I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan and I actually enjoyed it. Yes it had flaws and things were glossed over that were set up in TFA but I'm okay with that. I think when IX comes out it'll really bring everything together.

I felt the movie was better after a second showing. I knew what parts I didn't have to pay attention to (anything with Rose and Finn)

Both showings i went the people were clapping at the end and during hype moments. People even clapped when it showed Luke wasn't on the planet.

Not mad that we didn't get a Snoke backstory this time around. It's not the first time they introduced villains and killed them without explaining their origin. And i don't think this is the last we hear about Rey's parents.

This was such a menacing shot. Why da faq didn't they use it in TFA?

By the time Rey got to Luke, he was in a much different place mentally, emotionally and he wasn't even using the Force. Y'all expected the Luke you knew after RoTJ, but he's not the same person and the movie specifically shows you how he's not the same and how he feels about everything. Him throwing the lightsaber perfectly demonstrates that. It was a reminder of what happened with Ben. Y'all interpret it as just a gag, but you're not really taking in why he did it.

We not even talking about RotJ super Jedi Luke. We’re talking about his core values before this dude knew what the Force and Jedi were. This the same dude that ran back to Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen to warn them even though there was a chance he could run into the empire. Now this dude is ignoring his twin sisters pleads for help to protect the thing they risked their whole life to save??? You secluding yourself on an island devoted to the legacy of the first Jedi but the lightsaber of your father the chosen one and the lightsaber that started your journey and allowed you to be THE LAST JEDI, you’re gonna toss that? You saw good in your mass murdering father but we’re ready to kill your nephew who hadn’t done anything yet???

**** RIAN JOHNSON, **** JJ ABRAMS, **** KATHLEEN KENNEDY, **** BOB IGER.

Don't mind Finn, they just don't give him great things to do. I do hate his American accent though, son out here tryna sound like John Wayne in 2017.

Between Luke levitating on a rock and Leia flying through space, I’m trying to understand why these Skywalker twins haven’t taken over the galaxy themselves.

we expected?
sounds like Mark Hamill expected it too.

is Mark wrong too?

It's funny how last week I ran across something where Mark Hamill said that he wished they took George Lucas' suggestions on this new trilogy. Not sure if this article was posted in this thread earlier (I'm sure it might have been), but Mark had his own reservations about what they did with Luke...

was i nitpicking or is that a legit problem?

They took Luke in a new direction, somewhere his character hadn't been. It was a risk that paid off imo. It gave him more depth and explained why he's been in exile for a generation. Y'all mad that a Skywalker had a moment of doubt, but look at his family line. The dark side is strong on them regardless of their actions, and Luke having a moment of weakness, a failure, isn't damning the entire saga story. Deal with Luke being more complex than a generic wunderkind who's faultless. Of all the issues with the movie, Luke's storyline wasn't big on the scale. Imo.

 

[masagipatron]

Star Wars doesn't really follow physics when it comes to space. That's been established since 77. A lot of what happens in these space battles wouldn't actually happen in space. But Leia Supermanin' That ***, I can't accept that.

 

[noskey]

The Leia scene was terrible. Shoulda let her die in space and kept the emotional impact. Would have had grown *** men crying in the theater if they let it happen.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Leia was outchea like Mary Poppins

Making one mistake and running away from the world isn’t complex nor is it realistic.

I legit wonder what Carrie Fisher would have thought about that scene had she been alive

views like these are fascinating when you factor in how the actor himself had a problem with the characters portrayal

keep armchair quarterbacking it up though

as stated an evolution in the character is fine, this aint that though

“Im Mary Poppins yall!”

Peter Quill was all i thought of during the Leia floating in space scene

 

[lamekilla]

I just wanted Luke to show how much of a “master” he had become. The only time he’s the smartest ***** in the room, he dies

 

[paulwest1985]

It should have been Leia and Ad. Akbar that sacrificed themselves in that ship. The emotional impact would have been much more and it would have been a fitting to her character.
