Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Official Thread)

[Makavalli]

He didn't know is my guess, it's basically Gendry from GoT.

but this aint GOT this is star wars where palps and his master set up a 30yr plan to takeover the galaxy so busting off in some raw pu$$y should’ve been lightweight for him to handle. Deadbeat dad ass focusing on another nikkas son

May make a thread about it, but...

Why not just remake the prequels? Hollywood remakes everything else after 20 years or so.

Do the 3 different director thing again, but t least this time we everyone should know what the story will be.

a Ryan Coogler Revenge of the Sith

The stories weren't the problems it was the direction. At least this time we know for sure we're seeing the exact same beats from years ago

Reddit was saying that lucas negotiated that there could be no reboot. Not sure how true that is.

Also kats like doomcock have said the reason they killed off all the OG characters was because disney had to pay lucas every time they were used to sell merchandise. Not sure how true that is. But Doomcock was right on damn near all the plot for this shyt show of a garbage movie.

Just got in from seeing it. When the lights came up I sat there for a moment like "Yeah - that was a Star Wars movie....'

I have the same problem with this that I had with B v S - the big moments felt kind of unearned. I know the new trilogy is essentially for kids - They'll love it for years, but when they go back to it in a decade or two, I think there's gonna be a lot of "Looking back - this was just 'aight'...."

Bob Iger has to be as hell that they didn't introduce Babu Frik in the last episode, though. Man could have been doubling up on that Baby Yoda money for the past two years

probably true, cause isn't that how he practically banked of SW/ANH after it blew?

Yep thats why as he began making sequals of the first trilogy folks were saying he did that to make toys and other merchandise.

When actually that was just an avenue that others had just tapped into. George had been working on the story for years. Before using movies to sell toys even became big in the 80s.

Good movie.

Can't lie. I didn't expect Attack of the clones to be high on anyone's list

 

[nieman]

In Empire Strikes Back, Yoda DID NOT EVEN WANT TO TRAIN Luke and made every excuse from being too old to being too much like his father. Kenobi had to convince him to train him. They did not have a PLAN. Yoda essentially DID exactly what Luke did. Bare in mind, the new Jedi council that Luke created was exterminated TOO. Or you want to dismiss that.

Nah. It was a test to Luke. After putting up his front, he goes "I cannot train him. The boy has no patience" to Obi Wan. Their plan was always to train Luke, but then Luke comes across as arrogant like his pops.

Plus they were waiting for the right time. "The will of the force." Remember that Uncle Owen also didn't fukk with Obi Wan at all. He obviously didn't want him around Luke.

I like the story in Attack the Clones. Sending Obi Wan on all of these random missions, chasing ghosts. Anakin harassing Padme 5-star recruit style, until she feels something....savage Anakin, Council/Anakin beef, Anakin gettin that a$$ whooped by Dooku. And Palpatine starting a war from one side, AND playing victim from the other.

 

[blankstairz]

for the whole movie.

Spoiler

Abrams still ain't want no smoke, played it safe again, and went full fan service mode this movie.

Even an Ewok cameo?



Rey and Ren's kiss at the end.



Finn couldn't even get a kiss from the first order, defector sista, but was forced (no pun?) to kiss the asian woman in TLJ.

Thought JJ was going to look out for him.

Then we still getting this:
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Rey in her skywalker flight helmet.

No need for Palpatine. Sh*t was overkill, but necessary because Ren's role as a villian was destroyed after Rey beat him in ep. 7. Snoke was dead in ep. 8. Guess JJ said sh*t, let's bring back Palp cuz ain't sh*t else left.

JJ didn't even give a f*ck about the red-head wannabe Tarkin. Revealed he was the spy and then got merked with a quickness. Don't blame JJ for that, because dude was useless and ineffective this whole trilogy.


Rey Skywalker

Billy Dee.


All in all, the sh*t was . Abrams focused on making everybody happy, going back down memory lane again, and holding hands.

Between RJ's abomination and JJ's constant rehashing, this franchise needs some creative talents at the helm.


Even the lukewarm Solo was better than this.
And Rogue One was the best movie in recent years. Sh*t still holds up.
