I 100% agree with this. I read several of the novels Zahn put out what, 20 years ago, and they were pretty damn good.

I wish they would have used concepts from EU. My main problem with the movie is just how the executed it on screen.

Saw it again yesterday. Second time its way better. I know the WTF moments are coming and could just relax and watch the movie. I think the main issue now is Johnson, the way he chose his shots, moved the story along, chose to portray characters. It wasn't such a bad job but as DJ said, more about missed opportunities. On a side note: I saw it in a "Dolby" theater the first time and in "Real" 3D the second time. I try to go see a movie in 3D every couple of years to see if the tech has moved forward. It hasn't, its still too dark.

Killing Snoke, fine but let's make the impact more dramatic. Have Kylo go from being a child to a stoic badass in that scene. The concept is that Kylo had been acting like that to lure Snoke into a false sense of security. It would also make it much more believable that he could take control of the First Order. Instead of the leader Hyper jumping through everything, have her hyper jump right in front of snoke ship and ram/self destruct... Instead of Luke "reading" dreams of Kylo, show Kylo being over aggressive toward other student in a duel which almost kills student and Luke steps in. Kylo could have raged for Luke holding him back etc. etc.... You can keep story the same just execute it better on screen

Those books had Luke, Han and Leia doing super athletic adventurous things.
You straight up COULDN'T film those with the classic actors. I just really don't think Disney was going to bank on a new trilogy with unknown actors in the classic roles. Thing is...you could still film that trilogy with re-casted, younger leads. There's nothing in TFA or TLJ that ruins that story. In fact, you can have the remnants of the Empire fleeing into the unknown regions at the end of it and that's when they find...Snoke. And Leia is pregnant with you-know-who.

This film will be lucky to hit $650 million domestically and it'll likely top out between $1.2 and $1.3 billion. There isn't a chance in hell it hits $1.5 billion, especially with kids going back to school on January 2nd. And no, Disney will not be "fine" with these returns. It'll make them second guess Rian Johnson's trilogy, Solo and the Obi Wan film. Even scarier is that they'll likely micromanage Episode IX to the point where it's a boring and predictable film that will struggle to reach Episode VIII's box office. Rest assured, the reaction to Episode VIII will send shockwaves across the Lucasfilm Film division and Disney. Hell, it may even affect their plans for a Live Action TV show in 2019 on Disney's new Streaming Service. This is not a good result. |
