Star Wars Universe Thread: May The 4th Be With You

[CP1708]

Idk about that but just seems that Hollywood in general seems to be targeting women more.

Rey + Wonder Woman = $$$ these days for little girls. My daughter included.

well women outnumber men. women live longer than men. women have the backing of a social movement for equality. women are graduating at higher rates than men. women have access to both their disposable income, and a portion of men's disposable income. women do the majority of consumer spending for children. Seems like that's how you bring in the money. On top of that boys are being gender neutralized in the media and masculinity is frowned upon as insensitive and representative of low EQ.

 

[stuntman mike]

i don’t think anyone should let their kids (girls or boys) watch a movie about jedi pedos unless you’re c******c maybe.

 

[Master Zik]

Just curious, in your neighborhoods, around your kids, neieces, etc. has there been a influx of girls into Star Wars compared to the past?

These commercials make it seems like that’s the case.

I think so.

My niece doesn't give a damn though.

 

[ricardo malta]

JayPesos is the biggest Star Wars fan on NT and made it clear that he doesn't like TLJ yet CP been treatin' him like Deebo and ain't said a peep to him when he come around.

Lame posts his gripes and CP continues going at his neck over and over again with corny name calling and this baseless "group think" narrative. I guess you can now add Zik to his "list" too.

It's plenty of dudes in here who've voiced their displeasure with the movie but he's not even defending the movie at this point, he only has one real agenda. Coming off real insecure brah

That might be because I don't have an issue with Jay's opinion.

Lame and I have bantered for 2 years on Rey's lineage and I told him to soften his expectation, he didn't, and he went from hyping this film as "poetic" to trashing this film as pathetic, all cuz he ain't get what he wanted.

Also, the "groupthink" is Zik, who has changed his opinion since posting his initial positive review, I have not once labeled Lame as a groupthink member.

I have no need to defend the film. I enjoyed it. Many others have as well. Some, like Jay, didn't, and have valid reasoning behind. Some, such as Lame, are scorned and lashing out cuz Rey isn't a Skywalker. Jay didn't put himself in that position.

Is that valid enough for you, or would you like to proofread my posts before I submit them to make sure I include everyone?

 

[iDon’tRead]

So there’s going to be another movie

 

[dogpolice]

The comparison doesn't line up to me.

Rey admits this in the movie. It isn't told to her. This is something she knew deep down.

Now can JJ bring some hacky twist to dismiss that and flip the themes on their head and say all that destiny **** matters, sure, but I don't see the comparison.

By Obi-Wan's view, Vader did "kill" Anakin. At least the Anakin he knew. The Anakin he knew wasn't a Sith. The your pops was killed is just additional information to add to Luke's situation of being an orphan raised by his "uncle". It adds to Luke's grudge against Vader. That's why it sets up the twist so well.

In the scenario of TLJ, Rey is admitting something she knows to be true. What Kylo says to her is akin to what Vader says to Luke. This isn't like Kylo informing Rey of new info.

Plus that lines up and is product of theme about ignoring your past and making your own destiny not being ruled by something preset.

Besides at this point, who could Rey's parents be that it would even matter in IX? Han is dead. Luke is dead. Carrie Fisher is dead so Leia is basically dead or shelved.

We gonna trot out Lando for a twist?

There's no depth to Luke being her father now with Luke being dead unless the mother is gonna suddenly appear. There's no depth at all to Han and/or Leia being the parents cuz she met Han and nothing, then he died so there's not even a reunion. Even worse with Leia. There's nothing to Kylo and Rey being siblings given how far things have progressed in TLJ. The time for that revelation has passed.

Rey's grandmother is going to be Shmi Skywalker. She probably had a kid with the guy that lost his leg in AOTC. Their daughter or son is probably Rey's mother or father. Explains why she lived on Jakku and why her parents sold her off for money because they were probably slaves as well. That's my prediction.

 

[moderndarwin]

That’s a surprisingly good thought. Wouldn’t happen tho.

And yeah it’s nonsense the way Phasma was treated in this movie. Disney released an entire cannon book specifically about her. It had a ridiculous amount of background on Phasma and how ruthless and amazing a warrior she was. She was not born or brought up First Order (and don’t want to spoil the rest in case anyone is going to read the book).

 

[MajinZuub]

Naw. You are just following along. You said point blank you enjoyed it, now are following along skewering it. Without rewatching it or anything to change your mind. That is groupthink. *Shrugs*

Are you team Zo yet? I've done a terrible job of keeping up on the team thread

 

[seasoned vet]

i went back and read my review of TFA and i thought it was near perfect.

i had zero problems with Rogue One.

what was the intent behind switching directors again?

 

[KingdomFlatbush]

Nothing really. JJ had no real plot in mind and just wrote TFA not intending to come back to Star Wars. He literally did not even know why Luke was by himself on a deserted island.

Disney gave the sequel to Rian Johnson, did not intervene during the scriptwriting process or in any real editorial capacity, and now we have TLJ.

To paraphrase Red Letter Media, Disney literally just "gave Star Wars to some guy"

Now JJ is back to clean the mess that he inadvertently started in the first place lol

 

[CP1708]

You know me, I never give up on kids so early, I still have faith in JC and Randle.

I think Zo will be fine, reminds me a lot of Kidd, anything close to that would be terrific.

[kvsm23vs24]

I have never seen a film be talked about like how this is. This is crazy.
I didn’t think it was the best, but not the worst either

I still do t get those early reviews, though.
Talking about, “I can’t believe this film was made”

 

[SC kid]

Empire is the only one better than the last Jedi.

A New hope....story is basically "farm boy finds out he is special and has to save the princess and the galaxy.

The visuals...fight scenes....spaceship scenes...acting....etc. far better in the last Jedi.
I don't think that's arguable. The childhood in cats will never accept that tho.

Return of the Jedi had a strong opening sequence but was bogged down in the middle. And ewoks.

Also yall know damb well if they never introduced those force ghosts in Rotj and did that NOW cats would be calling that stupid as hell.

Empire is superior for many reasons however.
Even down to the lighting and cinematography ( cloud city is a great example). Acting is more memorable. Best begining sequence. Actual lightsaber duel (most iconic scene in star wars).


Oh and btw. Cats saying snoke had a stupid death.

BOBBA FETT??????

One thing's for sure, I don't think Black Panther or Infinity War will be this divided

You're insinuating that TLJ is better than A New Hope?

By the way I was born in the 90s and therefore ANH and the rest of the OT have no nostalgia value for me

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Apologies if this has been posted before...



Looks like Last Jedi has grossed $365 mill domestically & $745 mill worldwide.

With this much displeasure with the flick, it’ll be easier to get the steel book blu ray when it drops.

Interesting to see so many voicing displeasure at the female characters/protaginists. When I see/read anti feminist comments, I always subtract the female portion of the comments posted with race specifically minorities & then the comments kinda make me realize the space the poster is coming from...

What do u think

Put those films side by side.
Its obvious.

 

[lamekilla]

Return of the Jedi is the best Star Wars film in my opinion. The cinematography in the whole throne room scene alone “and now young Skywalker............you will die”

Empire imo is overrated but I get it. The way that film turns Vader into such an overarching figure is amazing. Seeing a tauntaun’s guts changed my life more than Vader saying he was Luke’s father.

But TLJ is easily the worst Star Wars film

 

[JVII]

That Kathleen agenda

I've seen this pic, like , 3 times in here already. Why yall keep reposting this?

 

[CP1708]

But TLJ is easily the worst Star Wars film

See folks, this right here is what scorned is. THIS is the stuff I am not putting up with.

You can easily say there are things you don't like about TLJ, or complaints you have, or scenes you didn't like, etc, all valid and not for me to argue against.

But this **** here, that's just pure trolling at this point. This a guy that cries in his Luke Skywalker bed sheets because he can't get the matching Rey Skywalker pillow case.

This was on point.
