It could be meta like that, but he is not directing the next two movies, so we will see if the other directors agree with him.Matthias said:When Kylo said, "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to" it was the director talking to Lucas and Star Wars fans. imo.
How's the weather in your alternate universe?Matthias said:It's amazing. Everything you said in that sentence is wrong.
Just go grab a young Harrison Ford. They’re all over the place. Easy peezie.It will be interesting. Of those three, IMO it was more about Ford making that character so damn good. If the casting is not spot on for this movie, it will be DOA.
this is trueYou have no idea how many socks were ruined by Carrie Fisher going around bra less in ANH and in a gold bikini.
You can only say that from the pulpit when someone else builds the cathedral. Be very careful who you throw out with the bath water. I don't know if kids still play with toys, if its more of a video game age (which I understand has been a let down) but the toy sales are down. Its a legacy brand, be very careful telling your legacy to F off.Matthias said:When Kylo said, "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to" it was the director talking to Lucas and Star Wars fans. imo.
Frosty's mom did big numbers this weekend.I think the sales pick back up. What else is out
Lot of repeat viewingsFrosty's mom did big numbers this weekend.
Very good word of mouth, if you know what i mean.Lot of repeat viewings
Or evidently frosty's mom.Know what else should be rammed and destroyed at light speed? This thread.

In real life kamikaze missions would have taken out innumerable destroyers, battle ships, enemy bases, carriers, etc. But this tactic was rarely employed. Even after the Japanese used it in WW II. Just sayin'...Politician Spock said:Seems to me a ship aimed at a Death Star at light speed would take it out, no?
And it will be made if Solo goes well. I feel like a trilogy of anthology movies is sitting there. Solo-Boba-Landotdoss said:Don't really care about Solo...my preferred one-off movie (or series) would be Boba Fett.
That is the movie that should be made...and with great consideration and care...
I've only seen it once so maybe I missed the line, but I don't recall Maz saying he's completely trust worthy. Just that he could get the job done. And she seems to have a crush on the dude. Maybe I'm just assuming code breakers would have a questionable reputation but I really don't recall Maz saying he's completely trustworthy. Han absolutely could have sold out Luke, Leia and Ben. He at least pretended to be in the mission for the money, then his conscience got the better of him. Chewie hanging out with him after the prequels changes that dynamic a bit imo. (Meaning Han wasn't as bad as his rep)Matthias said:Let's go find help from a guy with an unsavory reputation - The guy who they went to find help from can crack codes and shoot a blaster is a pimp-looking high roller (fbg, probably) and is completely trustworthy according to Maz. Nothing about his reputation is unsavory. Now the guy they find seems way more shady than Han. You weren't that surprised to find out that he sold them out. But you can't make it mentally work to have Han sell out Luke and Obi Wan. Han is both more and less reputable than the codebreakers at the casino.
in a place of ill repute - Just because it's a casino doesn't mean it's a place of ill repute. The biggest scofflaws in the joint, who got thrown in jail, were parking illegally. Someone getting beheaded by a lightsaber and then the place starting again with one drum beat it is not.
frequented by all sorts of aliens we haven't seen before - eh.
sort of under imperial control - There is zero indication that the First Order is there at all. They're being chased by casino bouncers and security. That's like saying your local mall is sort of under imperial control.
and escape on the ship he is flying after being chased - You got 1 thing right.
Sort of agreed. I'm hoping Chewie is a big part of the Han story.tdoss said:Don't really care about Solo...my preferred one-off movie (or series) would be Boba Fett.

The resistance is funding the military industrial complex.So the New Order just bought all their equipment from war profiteers?
I wonder where Slim's Dreadnaught Emporium is actually located. Does he have a used Star Destroyers lot?
Indeed.Good Posting Judge said:Know what else should be rammed and destroyed at light speed? This thread.
Wrong. Greedo, the answer is Greedo.And it will be made if Solo goes well. I feel like a trilogy of anthology movies is sitting there. Solo-Boba-Lando
From what I have read, a movie about Obi Wan is the most likely next anthology movie although nothing is set yet.And it will be made if Solo goes well. I feel like a trilogy of anthology movies is sitting there. Solo-Boba-Lando

No no its not. The original trilogy i can watch with my daughters everyone is satisfied. Rogue one we watch with great glee! Even Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith work. We all love the majority of the Marvel movies. We still quote Gaurdians of the Galaxy. Dunkirk worked for us on many levels. Madagascar 2 hilarious to this day. Dawn of Justice we will all see again and have a good time. Force Awakens and Last Jedi? I won't be pushing to see for sure.Holy balls you people suck. I think some of you are forgetting how comically bad some scenes in the original trilogy were. It is nearly impossible to make a movie that 45 year old nerds and teenagers will love
The original trilogy is laughably bad at times. The reason everybody loves it is because they were kids then.No no its not. The original trilogy i can watch with my daughters everyone is satisfied.

They aren't perfect, but I don't think there is anything near as bad as near dead Force Leia in the OT.Holy balls you people suck.

I feel sorry for you good buddy. First it was Game of Thrones, now Star Wars.You mean like as bad as near dead Force Leia in this one? Maybe not as bad as Anakin surfing on the back of those things on Naboo, but it was definitely a low point in this series for sure.
I like Game of Thrones just fine.I feel sorry for you good buddy. First it was Game of Thrones, now Star Wars.
Given their acting chops in the last two movies (uniformly awful) let's hope the characters were the stars. This series desperately needs better acting.Smack Tripper said:Solo is an interesting test. Were hamill, ford and fisher the stars or Luke, Han and leia ?
This series desperately needs better acting.
http://www.screengeek.net/2017/12/24/disney-expects-solo-a-star-wars-story-to-bomb/Disney is bracing themselves for the Han Solo movie to bomb. They were worried about it before all The Last Jedi controversy, but now they’re essentially writing Solo off. The lead actor, Alden Ehrenreich, can’t act, and they had a dialogue coach on hand for all of his scenes. On top of that, the script is unworkable. It’s going to be a car crash.
I’ve heard the lead is horrible - and Disney is prepared for it to bomb. Could just be internet rumors and I’m sure I’ll love it either way.KarmaPolice said:It will be interesting.

For the life of me I'll never understand why they didn't push this back after Howard came on.
Just saw this yesterday. I thought that was kind of obvious. That was the whole point of the movie. All the original characters are gone now (with Carrie Fischer being actually dead). Time to move on.Matthias said:When Kylo said, "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to" it was the director talking to Lucas and Star Wars fans. imo.
But let me add that I have enjoyed the #### out of every single one of these movies.Star Wars has never been about the acting. It's always been pretty bad
There has been some very good actors in Star Wars. Harrison Ford, Samuel Jackson, Natalie Portman, Billy Dee Williams, Ewan McGregor and now Daisy Ridley have all provided good performances in Star Wars.But let me add that I have enjoyed the #### out of every single one of these movies.
do you know why Disney chose Memorial Day to start with?For the life of me I'll never understand why they didn't push this back after Howard came on.
That also explains why we haven't seen one trailer and hardly even a photograph.
Meh. Those are good actors, I am not sure I would classify their work in Star Wars as their best thoughThere has been some very good actors in Star Wars.

Somebody hasn't seen Episode 2!!Star Wars has never been about the acting. It's always been pretty bad
I've watched this scene with particular attention to their feet twice now, and what happens is that whenever the camera focuses on Luke's feet, he'd move slowly and measured while Kylo Ren's feet were stomping and dragging. I did notice that the first time around, and then I thought they were showing the personality differences between the two in a symbolic sense and not giving an actual hint to Luke's physical body. I've seen this movie three times now, I still think the scene and camera use is doing both simultaneously.Next person to go see this again - I am curious about the final scene with Luke and Kylo Ren.
My recollection is that prior to the main attack, they showed a rebel/resistance soldier walking on the salt flats, and they showed a close-up of the red planet under his footsteps - obviously foreshadowing the "red" trail under the mono-skis. But, I wonder if it was also attempting to foreshadow Luke's "trick".
I know in the Luke v. Kylo scenes they focused on the feet a couple of times - but I can't recall if they were showing that Luke was moving his feet, and no salt foot prints were left (or were they showing Kylo Ren's footwork?). Or, was that entire area already cleared of the salt from the ongoing battle/laser blasts?
Just curious. Thanks!
Billy Dee Williams ruled, ###.There has been some very good actors in Star Wars. Harrison Ford, Samuel Jackson, Natalie Portman, Billy Dee Williams, Ewan McGregor and now Daisy Ridley have all provided good performances in Star Wars.
