ChiefsPlanet - Movies and TV Star Wars Episode VIII SPOILERS thread

No proof of this. No First Order presence on any of the planets in the movies when we initially get there. It appears they are trying to seize power, but they haven't quite pulled it off yet. They are an invading force without a seat of power. Our heroes have risen to the occasion once again.

Quote:

They're not heroes, they're not fun and there's nothing special about them.

I'm talking about Luke, Han and Leia.

They've been very heroic in this new trilogy. You want to call them losers. They don't feel like that at all to me.

Leia & Han: Divorced, apart, spawned a son that kill Jedi and billions in the galaxy.

Han: Scavenger, lost and lonely.

Leia: Still fighting a war 30 years later.

Luke: Lonely, old, isolated, betrayed by his nephew, living as a monk.

I wouldn't say that any of those people led successful lives, let alone, led lives indicative of the fairy tale ending of Return of the Jedi.

Good god.

:facepalm:

There are a million different ways that the trilogy sequel could have gone without destroying the idea of Han, Luke and Leia being heroes that saved the galaxy that lived successful and fruitful lives.

I've never been part of a discussion, in which I've participated to this extent, while absolutely hating the topic of discussion.

This is a new one, even for me.

My dislike of this film grows with each post.

This trilogy served to do little more than tell us all that Han pretty much had a nice short run with Leia, then spent his golden years as a miserable vagrant torn up by his shitty parenting while Luke essentially did the same thing and Leia got to spend the next couple of decades realizing that her rebellion is probably amounting to nothing but a long slow grind into likely irrelevance.

So much for dancing bears and fireworks. Nope - life is solitary, nasty, brutish and short, folks. Hope you enjoyed Luke smiling at those force ghosts on Endor because stuff pretty much went to shit for him and all his friends immediately end with the first orderthereafter.

Awesome. I wonder if Disney will make a sequel to Tangled where Repunzel dies of cancer and or Frozen where Anna gets trampled by a horse and Elsa retreats into a shell after she loses control again and kills everyone in town.

It will end with the first order destroyed and freedom in the galaxy. It's not been all unicorns and rainbows. It has been a shit life for the originals. None got to have a happy ending.

As much as I hated the Cueto trade, my dislike of this film far exceeds my dislike of the Cueto trade.

Hey, at least the Royals won.

Han, Luke and Leia all lost.

Dude, yes. Whenever you're pissed off, I'm going to start asking where things land on the Cueto-TLJ scale.

Rian Johnson is single-handedly killing the Star Wars franchise.

What a dumb take. It's like you know nothing about anything.

A more sensible explanation is that there was a huge, historic, anticipation for TFA with the return of OT characters after 30+ years. And people saw Han die, 2 seconds of Luke, and a re-hash of Ep. IV. It turned people off, many of whom decided they had outgrown this Star Wars thing and/or decided the whole thing just wasn't that good anymore.

And don't dismiss Rogue One. What was the box office on that? If they are going to put out a movie every year, its going to likely dilute the build-up and excitement of each new one. Star Wars movies aren't rare events any more.

Did Empire do as well as Star Wars? I guess it sucked and killed the franchise.

Or, the word of mouth for Episode VIII is so bad that people have stayed away and have refused to see it more than once.

Rogue One wasn't initially expected to do more than about $500 million worldwide. Disney had very low expectations for a "Star Wars Story".

It ended up with $1.056 billion and sold a shit ton of BluRay/DVD/Digital Copies. It also increased the expectations of what a Star Wars Story is supposed to be and it's box office receipts.

Or did you miss the part about KK firing the initial directors after all but 10 pages were completed, hired Oscar Winner Ron Howard, recast a few roles, added a few scenes and did a Page One Re-Shoot?

You're a butt****ing moron and apparently, that includes every subject, not just your nonsense in the DC (and your various mults, which have been confirmed to me by the Mods).
