Posted: 19:01 - 06 Dec 2017 Post subject: Episode 8. The last Jedi thread. (No spoilers please.) |
|
|
Well it's a week away. Credit card still warm after having just booked up 5 VIP tickets for 10pm on the 14th for me,
the wife and some pals. Hope it's much darker than Ep7 without obviously being another Empire Strikes Back.
Here's the trailer
Open discussion thread. But please, keep the plot details to yourself once you've seen it, just for the benefit of those
still to watch the movie.
After the whirlwind success of this thread I thought I should get the ball rolling -
We should have the reveal of where Mary-Sue-Rey originates in this movie. So who reckons Solo is/was Reys dad, making
Kylo Ren her (twin?) bruvva? I'm not sure on this one because I think Solo would have known this in Ep7.
Unless it was kept from him that he had fathered twins or he was just off gallavanting around the galaxy and Leia
birthed them in his absence. For me the biggest question is whether or not Fin has caught his breath yet. Every scene
in Ep 7 he seemed to be panting for air and a bit sweaty. Space-asthma maybe? ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Rey will take up the way of the Jedi.
Luke will die in this one, relatively near the end.
Kylo will be far more powerful and you'll see Snoke up close protecting Kylo when Rey is attacking.
Luke jumps in to assist, Kylo takes down Luke, Rey has a rage, takes down Kylo and backup arrives for Rey, Snoke leaves but will return.
Enjoy |

I watched them again recently, and honestly I think episode 1 is the worst. It has no coherency, not enough action, the age ranges of the main players don't make sense, it has Anakin building 3PO which makes absolutely no sense at all. The acting is immensely wooden, the backgrounds look like mid 90's FMV sci fi game backgrounds. Some of the compositing is terrible, Jar Jar binks and the whole "Queen Amidala voted into power but not as she's really a decoy for the real Queen" doesn't make sense either. Two stand out good bits, the Pod race (which looks and feels a lot like a cut scene in an AAA computer game title) and the final fight with Darth Maul.
Episode 2: Yeah it's bad. Ditch the love story though, and it's actually OK. I'm not a fan of Camino, of Jango Fett or any of that, but it's bettet than episode 1. The acting is better, the compositing is better and there is a LOT less Jar Jar. Obviously the love story part is massively cringey, and with Padme being about ten years older than Anakin it doesn't make any sense. But it's not as bad as Episode 1.
Episode 3 was OK, but it didn't really excite me either. There were remnants of the love story, of Jar Jar etc, but there was also a lot of decent moments. Again the final fight is good.
Rogue 1: On rewatching I realised that Captain Andor, instead of being charismatic, tough and mysterious is actually just boring, flat and a bit of a d*ck. It also doesn't make sense for Tarkin to effectively take credit for the construction of the Death Star in ANH, nor does it make sense that Darth Vader should address choke hold guy when he says "Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've created...". It also makes Princess Leia a bit of a pratt, and it renders the whole "If this is a consular ship, then where is the ambassador?" business a bit of a nonsense. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

I dunno I've not watched them in years, I remember episode 2 being like watching an annoying teenager go through puberty. I actually found the Robot Chicken pisstake better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzW727RY-ig |

Got home at 1.20am, was a good family film. As an adult viewer I'd have like to have seen a more gritty movie,
but there was a lot going on, some new characters, (Benicio del Toros character will definitely feature again at some
point I reckon) and some old, was great to see an old and grumpy Luke. There are a few semi shocking moments,
and some great battle sequences. As per Disney form, they have gone all out on the 'diversity is gooooooood m'kay' cast,
but apart from that it wasn't too OTT with the "message". I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10 ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I watched it last night with my 10 year old son, he really liked and i thought it was good, i loved the originals as a kid, never liked the ewan mcgregor ones at all but the newest ones are pretty good.
Star Wars
Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Ep1-3 should be put away in a box never to be played again.
The Force Awakens was a bit of a mix of the original movies with a plans hidden in a droid and a new death star, however much better than ep-1-3 it was a safe movie for them to make. ____________________ Current: 2019 Yamaha T7 -> 2015 KTM Superduke R | 2000 Yamaha R1 Past -> 2009 KTM 990 SM -> 2005 kawasaki ZX10r -> 2000 Honda CBR 600 FY -> 2002 Honda XLV 125 Varadero

Watched it on Friday. Overall, I enjoyed the film, although Disney are obviously trying to make the films appeal to a wider audience, so it doesn't exactly feel like a Star Wars film. But a good Sci-Fi nonetheless
I'm not a Star Wars fanboy so the fact it doesn't feel like a Star Wars film doesn't really bother me. I imagine the fanboys will be raging though. ____________________ Present: [Kawasaki ZX7r][Suzuki DRZ 400s]

Poor show Paddy, That counts as a spoiler. You didn't need to point out which half it was. I wanted to chat about it
to the lads I play GTA with last night and they were all on full media "la la la I can't hear you" blackout. Lots of people
waiting until they break up for Christmas to watch it. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 130 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
