It's only weekly... Saturday nights. I think they're phasing out of Godzilla now though. There hasn't been one in the last couple weeks, but before that they had a solid six weeks or so with Toho flicks.
Duuuuuuuuuude that sounds awesome.
Cool. I'll have to try and watch for some sometime.
67% Rotten Tomatoes. It has my childhood favorite monster, Battra.
Yah. They had a Ghiddorah one this week, but my father made me change the channel. :/
I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want to. It's like number one on my list of movies which have already been released which I want to watch. I don't know if you're into this type of thing, but in case your interested, Rian Johnson's got all three of his produced scripts on his personal website, free to read.
Definitely. I think it's going to be the most 'different' SW film ever.
I'll check it out, but too bad that doesn't include The Last Jedi.
Rogue One was already pretty 'different,' if mostly because it's an anthology film, but The Last Jedi will definitely be unique. I can see Rian Johnson's directing style in the trailer now.
Yeah, I was just wondering whether Disney'll let him put it online after the film is released.
True. TLJ will more likely than not be the oddest saga film yet, though... Of course all of them were rather odd when they were released. We've kinda become desensitized to the weirdness, because now it's a cultural staple, but they were pretty dang weird upon release.
He is indeed my brother, but he hasn't been active on the LMBs since months before they old boards closed... I can definitely ask him if he's interested in returning though, if you'd like me to.
I thought so. It would have rather embarrassing if he wasn't. You might as well, he might get his old HQ back too.
Yeah, but the thing is, the Dark Side, and Dark Side users still exist, just the order called the Sith don't. So it's a weird situation.
Its definitely not... If anything it's the opposite. Here's the exact quote from Mr. Johnson:
"In my mind, it's singular. In my mind it is. ... As to whether Luke is the 'Last Jedi,' they say in The Force Awakens he's going to find the last Jedi temple and Luke is the last Jedi." (via IGN, though you can find this quote all over the interwebs, and even the actual video if you google it.)
Yes....a lot of people get mad if you call Kylo and Snoke Sith...but they seem to be the same thing. I think, as you do, the Old Jedi are going to be gone, and we will have new, different Jedi. With different rules, beliefs, and powers, but still the same principles.
Yeah, that's the problem. The director doesn't exactly agree with the official canon. The Last Jedi refers to something more than our last group of Jedi we will see in TLJ, it refers to the end of an era, a change of the Jedi. Star Wars movie names always have multiple meanings.
What do you think Snoke and Kylo are called? Just Dark Side users, or is there a different name? I also think, in a way, the old Jedi will return, as it looks like they'll be returning to the beliefs of the earliest Jedi, rather than what it became by the time of the Clone Wars.
Thats not official canon. The director WROTE the title. He came up with it. If anyone decides, he does. The translation which made people think it's plural got it wrong, not the other way around. That's possible. I think it refers to Luke, and that he's the last Jedi in multiple senses. He's the last one left alive at the time of the movie, and he's also the last one which will ever exist, because he trains Rey to be something a bit different. Which would make her the first _______ <--- insert name of order here. That'd also be kinda a cool title for IX, if they wanted to go for it.
What should the order be called? I'm partial to 'Bendu', because in the original draft of the first film, the Jedi were called the Jedi-Bendu.
That's doesn't make sense... How would the fact she picked up on it quick mean she wasn't a Skywalker? I mean, Anakin channeled the Force really quick. Rey's definitely a very powerful Force user. She's untrained, and probably not Anakin or Yoda level powerful, but I'd put her up their on Jedi Council level powerful. She's not OP, though, nor is she a Mary Sue like some folks think.
Rey is a different sort of Jedi. She operates a little differently, but she still has that Skywalker thing about her. I dunno, it's not explainable. Anakin, Luke, Leia......they all have the Skywalker look. And I'm not talking about hair and eyes and stuff, their attitude, their thoughts, their stories, their ideas.......they are Skywalkers in their wishes and stories.
That sounds pretty correct to me. Smart analysis. Though her attitude isn't quite the same as Anakin's... She doesn't complain enough.
Also, I'm I the only one who finds it slightly odd for some reason that she'd be a Skywalker with a British accent? I mean, it's not that it doesn't make sense, it's just kinda a weird idea to me.
Probably. I mean, we still don't know too much about him, but I think you're probably right, judging from what we've seen. Which I like, because it makes him different from Old Ben or Yoda. Yeah, I know. I think your probably right. I just don't want it to be true.
I'd like to watch it. I will eventually, as I want to get Netflix sooner or later. I don't think he's going to tell her so much as maybe show her? I think she'll find out in force visions which Luke will probably induce, whether by bringing her to a certain place like in ESB, or some other way. What're your pet theories?
I am, too. A Leia film would be cool! Not sure if it's possible, though... Carrie Fisher was 18 years old when they filmed the first SW, so not sure they can really do a younger version unless she's like 10, and we saw how well child Anakin was received. :/ It's a shame though.
I don't think anything about Snoke is canon except what we know from the film and a couple other small details, like that he was around since before the Clone Wars.
Really? What do you think it is?
EXACTLY! Except I think Han was more of the old Ben...don't read me wrong. Think about it. Guys meets some kid in the desert (ignore Finn ) with a valuable droid. Takes them to Cantina place, etc. etc. etc. Rey is definitely the daughter of somebody...that's all that almost everybody agrees on.
Yeah. Clone Wars is pretty cool. Ashoka was awesome! Well, I think Kylo has done more than we suspect. He killed all the new padawans in the New Jedi Order....and there may have been somebody else, important, another padawan. A padawan who is in the family. Han and Leia treat Kylo's doings as so tragic. Yes, it is tragic for him to kill all the padawans and go to the darkside, but doesn't it look a little deeper than that? Also, why did The Force Awaken? I mean...it's pretty odd that Rey, a 19 year old girl who has been on the planet of Jakku since she was like 5, should all of the sudden discover the Force. These things with Kylo and Snoke have been going on for years, why does Rey suddenly discover the Force on one random day several years after the First Order was founded? Somebody is out there....doing something. Somebody is still alive, unknown to others. Get anything I'm saying here?
Well, they could do a sort of Rogue One thingy. End the movie with the ending of Rogue One, so she could be 17 or 18. Everybody liked Padme in The Phantom Menace, didn't they? Natalie Portman was only 17 when that movie was made. It is possible to do it, I think.
Yup. Although Brian was telling me about some of it. I don't remember. It was some complicated story.
Famous actors never stay around long in Star Wars, they don't seem to like it. A New Hope- Alec Guiness did not like Star Wars, but he knew it would be huge. He was a famous actor, I've seen some of his other roles. He died in the very movie he showed up in. Peter Cushing was another famous actor before Star Wars. He died in the movie he showed up in. The Phantom Menace- Liam Neeson or however his name is spelled, famous actor, dies in the move he shows up in for the first time. Attack of the Clones- Christopher Lee was also a VERY famous actor. He showed up in Attack of the Clones, and dies in the very beginning of Revenge of the Sith. Rogue One- Felicity Jones and some of the other actors were famous. Need I say more? Welp, famous actors die in Star Wars. They just don't seem to like doing the movies or something. Harrison Ford took his turn. But.....I am betting he'll come back!
Yah, I can agree on that. Han starts Rey on her path, and Luke takes the Yoda role, and does her actual training. Though, at the same time, his character is very different from that of Yoda. Well, the film kept harping on her parentage, so that's probably why.
So I've heard plus she gets cool white sabers in Rebels. Well, who says Rey is the one which made the Force awaken? Maybe the Force awakened because now there are active users of the Light and Dark side of the Force, rather than just one side... Though, FTR, Rey used the Dark Side to defeat Kylo, not the light. Or maybe it awakened when Kylo killed Han, fully accepting the dark? It's implied it's Rey, but we don't know. I don't think there's anyone alive that we don't know about, though. Anakin's Force Ghost could still be active, but I don't think there's some surprise character. Could be wrong though.
Kinda? I got a basic idea.
Well, actually, I really dislike Padme because I'm not a Natalie Portman fan. She acts pretty similar in every role, and I'm not a huge fan of her... schtick? Routine? I don't know what to call it. She kinda ruined the character for me, though. BUT you're missing my point, anyway. Carrie was 18 when they made ANH, so they couldn't really cast someone who could realistically turn into Carrie Fisher by the time of ANH, because there's not enough time in between the Leia film and ANH. Han would have about 10 years in between his solo film and ANH, for Alden's version to turn into Harrison's. Leia, on the other hand, if they wanted to give her ten years to turn I nto her ANH version, would be 8 in her solo film.
ah. Well, let me know if you do.
Well, it's not neccesarily that they don't seem to like it... I mean, Guiness hated it, but Peter Cushing, who was very famous, had a lot of fun and wished his character had survived so that he could be in a sequel. Lee had to be gotten rid of quickly, because they needed to make way for the coming of Vader... Lee even returned for a cartoon movie of the Clone Wars which was released, I think, in 2008. Felicity Jones honestly isn't that famous, and the majority of her fame CAME from R1. Donnie Yen is rather famous, though... But this is another case like Lee's. It's not that they don't like sticking around, it's that the story calls for their characters' end.
Maybe in a video game or cartoon or something. I would be surprised if it was VIII or IX.
Crying at a movie doesn't always mean somebody died. Sometimes, it could mean you cried at a scene you can relate to. Another example is something a character always wanted was granted, or something like that. I think i spoiled it a bit with one of my examples, but they don't give away anything about the plot, so I'll just say it's something you can relate to.
Another reason why I'm really ashamed to say I'm in the minority is because I'll be bashed for it or I'm on my own just because of what I think. It may sound childish, but that's how I feel being in the minority. Sure, I show respect to those in the minority, but me being a part of it makes me a bit ashamed.
I've only ever cried during one movie...
That'll change with the 2019 blue milk anthology! You'll be bawling your eyes out!
I know it's taking me a long to to reply... Sorry. I've had a lot tests lately. It's leally late now, and I gotta get some sleep, but I'll try and respond to everything tomorrow.
Late? Pffft, I stay up until 3 am about every other day.
Well, I'm up to between 1 and 4 on average, and the night before that I hadn't gone to sleep at all, so I was pretty wiped out.
BUT I should've gone on anyway. I repent of my sins!
I did enjoy it a lot. But if I say I liked it more than the first, then I must be only enjoying it more and not looking at the flaws. If I say the first is better, then my opinion is valid. I really don't know. All I can say atm is that it's bigger and more of everything. More comedy, more action, more complicated, more emotional.
He was more awesome here. In fact, he's in one of the best action scenes yet!
Ah. I think I get where you're coming from. I'm hoping to see it this weekend sometime, so we can discuss it in more detail if I do. All in all, are you looking forward to Vol. 3?
Oooooh. Nice. I'm going to be looking forward to it.
Oh, so you haven't seen it yet, eh? Of course I'm looking forward to Vol. 3! That's gonna be the end of the GOTG we know apparently. It'll probably be the last MCU film I'll see in theaters. After that, I'm done with the MCU (sorry guys, you may now kill me).
Glad to hear that! If you really want to enjoy it, I suggest keeping your expectations low. A lot of people who have already seen it were apparently disappointed. I thought it was better than the first. Maybe that's just because I had low expectations (because it is a sequel and I know what happened to MCU sequels except for The Winter Soldier and Civil War).
