Tirak Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Ahh so you want science in a movie about highly religious space wizards with ability's to choke people with their mind. :megalol: Science Fantasy, it is just what it says it is It's not internally consistent mate. Turbo Lasers have never arched in a vacuum in any of the movies or series.

Pilotasso Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 They must have been veritable glowing AMRAAMs in space. :D On another note. The feeling I got for Ep 8 is like when you hear about how other movies original endings were rewritten and re shot in order to correct the plot to make sense and we got none of that for the Last Jedi. It's like they were experimenting on us" how about we leave as is?"

Pilotasso Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 Disney is wiping the franchise clean to start a new trilogy. The way the original characters are being treated with silly roles and plots makes me sad (except for Ford who hated being solo and wanted to get killed off since empire but was convinced to come back twice for big paychecks). Rogue one was decent tho.

SkateZilla Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) The main issue I hated in this movie was: Leia being sucked into the vacuum of space, then doing a Mary Poppins Fly Back to the Hatch.. Seriously... No... The Rest of the Movie was meh as well, but I have yet to see why the fans hated Luke's Role so much, in the end he did the right thing, he made a mistake, and it was finally exposed, that would have torn any man apart inside. As for Rey, I seriously doubt her parents were Jakku Junkies... Ben would say anything at that point to push her to his side. Then, how does the most powerful Force user not see / feel Ben turning a light Sabre on him.... Too many inconsistencies in the set reality tone, one minute physics or character are a huge part of the scene, and then 2 minutes later those said attributes are completely thrown away, along with Physics Edited January 3, 2018 by SkateZilla Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team NineLine Posted January 3, 2018 ED Team Share Posted January 3, 2018 The main issue I hated in this movie was: Leia being sucked into the vacuum of space, then doing a Mary Poppins Fly Back to the Hatch.. Seriously... No... This didnt bother me that much, it's cannon that Leia was as powerful, or more powerful in the force, and Yoda actually expected to train her, not Luke. So it was nice to see her flex her force muscles a little, too bad we wont see any more than that. I was not happy with how the handled Luke, the fact that he ran off and hid after Kylo/Snoke arose, I guess its a little Yoda like, but still seemed to not give him much back bone, then they did, and he is dead... sure he can come back and troll Kylo as a force ghost (which they better do dammit), but still feels like he never fulfilled his potential. Overall it was ok, it was no Empire Strikes Back, and a lot of missteps can be undone in the next one, but will JJ do that? We will see. Overall though, it seems to paint almost everyone slightly incompetent... nobody performs that great, Phasma got beat up again (possibly dead), Snoke went out like a bitch, Luke over projected himself after screwing up the entire galaxy, Finn got tazed trying to sneak off again (no matter what his motive was), the Resistance was fighting with each other, and is now left with a handful of core members... Dunno, I love Star Wars, but I am still not sure about this one... mixed feelings is the best description.

Weta43 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I liked it and I have been a Star Wars fan more many decades. I think a lot of people didn't like it because what they expected to happen in the movie, did not. I actually liked it for those reasons. People would have complained if they made it an Empire Strikes Back clone, just as they complain for what it turned out to be. I don't think there was any way for the director to succeed with making this movie without a lot of criticism or people not liking it. I mean, if the movie just repeated the same themes over and over again like a lot of people wanted, what would the point even have been? I agree. People want it to be what Star Wars was to them way back when, but they're not the people they were all those years ago. Everything has moved on. It wasn't a bad movie. Removed from unrealistic expectations and history it was quite a good movie. True, the casino bit wasn't needed for anything other than the last scene of the kid in the gutter finding the force and dreaming of being a rebel, but it's a better movie than some of the series, and Rey is turning out to be a well written character. I loved the early swashbuckling trilogy, but they didn't take themselves seriously, and people have elevated the whole franchise to something serious now. I suspect if the original Star Wars was released today, it would get panned Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jafa Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Not even seen it but I pretty much lost interest anyway after return of the jedi , things got a bit silly and the spark died along with the story line the acting the direction , its a shame that most kids nowadays will never experience the cinematic phenomenon that we did in the 70's Cheers Jafa [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitMaster Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 This is Star Wars not :( The only good part was me streaming it, and not paying for that epic BS. Wasn't even worth full screen.

Pilotasso Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) They put the wrong people in charge of the movie, and what disheartens me is that Disney usually hand picks people and crafts their movies carefully (even when its just for money grab which they do) Ryan Jonson wanted Game of thrones in space and Kathleen Kennedy obviously was pulling the strings to push her rubbish personal ideology agenda down our throats with this movie. It figures. Ruined it.

leafer Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 well. i really wanted to like it. if i had written and produced it. Rey is Luke's daughter. Fin's a coward n betrays Rey n the rebels after Phasma captured him. Poe doesn't exist. No Han Solo in Force Awakens seeing how Ford hates playing Han so much. Luke trains Rey. Rey beats down Kylo again in front of Snoke. Snoke fights Rey (she loses and badly injured) but he finds out first hand just how powerful she really is. Rey is imprisoned n Snoke will try to turn her We dont see her again until next episode. Lea dies to save the fleet. she is not force sensitive. Let Mark Hamil plays Luke any which way he wants. A Lot more Lightsaber fight. Lightsaber n Laser take out arms, eyes, half someone's face etc. Fire everyone who brings up Harrison Ford. Write a part for me as a fighter pilot but not annoying like Poe. I rescue Rey in the next episode. Rey n I kiss and hold hands all the time whether she wants to or not. No shirtless Kylo. No space penguin. No bombers in space. No oxygen mask. No milking. No fishing (Luke is not Goku). No Canto Bight. No silly humor. No kids in movies. Ok maybe Han Solo appears for a second but Chewbacca kills the ingrate by tossing him in garbage chute n shotguns his ass out into space. :D ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texac Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) I haven't seen Episode 8 yet although I'am absolutely amazed by this franchise since I knew about it. For me Star Wars has always been completed with Anakin being the chosen one and fulfilling his job by bringing balance to the force. So what can be added or changed to this whole and big story (the force, thousand years of jedi vs. sith war, the Skywalkers bringing trouble to a whole galaxy) by filming three more episodes for the franchise? If they actually want to change it, maybe they have planned something different or they just want to add some stuff related to Star Wars to earn more money... I still plan to watch it but I have seen a huge disappointment so far, for good reasons. Luke throwing his own lightsaber off the cliffs without bothering which he build together on his own, earned the crystal for it on his own and fought against his father with it? Remember when a very wise man once said "This weapon is your life"? I think I could go on and on as some already did, probably even more once I have seen it. This movie might be a good movie, in some way, but not a Star Wars movie at all, I think. Maybe until we see Episode 9, watch the movies a couple more times all together and understand all this, but I'm loosing interest with the huge and reasonable negativity I see so far about TLJ.
