STAR WARS, INDY , HOWARD THE DUCK DEUCE; AND MORE

KK hated it, Filoni wants to make his Lucas level mark on it all.

It's why Ahsoka keeps getting series delayed, because the whole show revolves around it.

I will continue to say that Rebels (at least 90% of it) is the best SW stuff ever done. Especially that last season.

Also, if KK hates it then I'm on board. This guy finally finished the "comic" for Colin's script that was passed on and it's fucking sweet.

This is soooo much better and satisfying, even in this form, than Rise of Skywalker.

Everyone flipping out about the Rian Johnson trilogy being put on hold...and I am like, didn't we have confirmation like directly from Rian that the shit was more or less cancelled like a year ago?

[Abraham Smashington]

I swear we did. Not a huge loss for me either way. I love parts of The Last Jedi and loathe parts of it but overall had they stayed the course (and did some rewrites for Carrie's passing) Rise could have ended on an awesome note instead of a huge wet fart by retconning most of Last Jedi. At least he tried some new shit even if it didn't all work.

[Abraham Smashington]

furthermore I don't need any more SW movies for a while . Do some shows and I'll be fine. UNLESS they go ALL OUT with High Republic shit. Then I want the biggest budget for that shit as possible so they can get bombastic with it.

[FilmNerdJamie]

They're still paying for The Last Jedi.

No way they were ever going to let Johnson loose (let alone work for them) ever again.

I’m with Rob. I came out of Jedi saying I’ll appreciate it only after the 9th movie. The retcon they did killed it. But parts of it, like depression Luke, did not sit well.

Also, how the fuck did they let him do what he wanted like that? No supervision????

and now Kathleen Kennedy says recasts are a no-no, citing Solo. You cunt, Han’s actor was the only GREAT thing in it.

[Abraham Smashington]

Pretty much. I know everyone loved Glover's Lando, but he did nothing for me. Hoping his show changes that. His take felt like a fucking SNL skit the whole time.

The biggest sin in SOLO was killing off the one decent character (Thandie). Also, Emile Clark is a terrible, terrible actor.

[BillyG]

Last Jedi is the only of the new Star Wars movies I want to revisit. I have probably watched it 6 times.

[Abraham Smashington]

My biggest bummer with it now is that it was pointed out how shitty the fight scene in Snoke's chamber actually was. It's like a video game fight with the characters just sitting there waiting to get their turn in and in some cases just doing stupid shit in the background. I loved that scene and the way it played out, but now it's all I can focus on. /nerdnitpick

But like Billy, it's the one I've probably watched the most of the new trilogy. I watched Force a few times and Rise twice (theater/bluray) but Jedi is the most interesting of the three even with sad sack Luke.

I weep for the fact we never got Colin's take even though there would have been massive rewrites for Carrie. His shit with Hux was awesome and I would have loved to see that on screen.

[BillyG]

Sad sack Luke is honestly my favorite, and it makes so much sense. He was a mopey whiny kid that turned into a depressed adult.

[Abraham Smashington]

oh yeah, I don't necessarily have a problem with Luke in Jedi at all. More with the bad comedy involving him. And what sucks the most is now it stands out so much that they retconned him so badly in Rise. At least his Mando appearances are staying in line with Luke being a dumb asshole before him realizing what a dumb asshole he is in Last Jedi.

[Martin]

Jedi was BOLD. Couple of retarded stuff like killing Phasma, Luke drinking weirdass milk, or the casino, and “another last stand”, but overall, I liked it.

its Skywalker I despise.

[Martin]

Also, relativistic weaponry is so casually set aside. Dude, who needs a Death Star? Just a Y-wing at lightspeed is enough to blowup a planet.

[Matt]

That's just it...that Holdo maneuver broke the universe in terms of weaponry. If you can just lightspeed an object into a bigger object to destroy it, then what's the point of ANY of these movies?

I seem to remember reading one of the older books that addressed this...going into lightspeed/hyperdrive put you into another universe or something. You were not actually traveling through physical space, so you didn't have a possibility of interacting with anything. Considering how much debris there must be in space, this makes sense because it'd be otherwise statistically impossible not to hit something when traveling long distances at that speed.

But I still don't care for TLJ. It's well acted and has a lot of good scenes to it, but the whole 'rebel fleet being chased at sublight speed' thing is stupid, especially when Finn and Rose take a shuttle and just leave at lightspeed. The whole Canto Bight sequence flat out sucks.
