Is there a Death Star in this one? You have like a 50% chance that there is.

Maybe the next one will be good.

since it is likely to be a continuity-free movie by Johnson, it may!

blokes you can't rust (sic), Friday, 12 April 2019 22:28 (five years ago) link

It looks like there's a piece of blown-up Death Star. They should probably blow it up again to be safe.

Palpatine is finally getting it operational this time! Just you wait and see.

Maybe the desert planet is just Endor after the ecological devastation of having a planetoid explode just outside its upper atmosphere

anyone mention yet that apparently most of the Carrie Fisher footage is leftover from the last Abrams film, not TLJ, at least according to Abrams’

so that cut of her crying and hugging Ridley’s character is repurposed from the post-Han Solo death resolution, presumably

obviously Palpatine’s remains fell to the planet with the rest of the death star mk. 2 debris and he’s grafted himself a new body out of ewok parts

mh, Friday, 12 April 2019 22:56 (five years ago) link

The line about how they’re never really gone when they die makes me think palpatine might return but it would be as a force ghost.

omar little, Friday, 12 April 2019 23:17 (five years ago) link

We’ve only had benevolent force ghosts to date but a naughty trickster like palps, not yet.

omar little, Friday, 12 April 2019 23:18 (five years ago) link

For the fifth goddamn time in a row now I have to ask: when the fuck is Lumpy joining the action? Christmas special was such a goddamn tease, I swear...

the laugh reminded me of andross’ in star fox 64

I really thought TLJ was just OK but the endless whining about it from both plot pedants and sexist jerks makes me wish I liked it more

Simon H., Saturday, 13 April 2019 01:27 (five years ago) link

it was really good imo

k3vin k., Saturday, 13 April 2019 02:45 (five years ago) link

mostly due to driver and the luke arc

k3vin k., Saturday, 13 April 2019 02:45 (five years ago) link

the camera work, new take on force cave introspection, and Yoda dialogue sold TLJ and lots of bits were extra gravy

I was probably one of the most actives posters on the first Star Wars new trilogy thread for the force awakens and I’m probably bowing out, outside of posting dumb ideas that seem whimsical. Years go by faster with age and i’m guessing I’ll blink and we’ll be at December. Godspeed, you rebels

yeah after reading Seveneves I remember thinking "oh shit, that means the forest moon of Endor was probably obliterated by Death Star II debris, bright side they could do a Jurassic Park reboot where future Endorians recreate Ewoks from ancient DNA and they run amok and kill everyone"

I hate Star Wars mania passionately and thought Ep VIII was mostly good

this one will be the last I ever see and i'm fine w/ that

btw this is a sincere question for Morbs, no shade at ppl who see all of these no matter who makes them or how much they suck: I’ve seen 26 fuckin’ James Bond movies

Honestly, though, how much fun would the discussion be if they were all unimpeachably amazing

Hangover Ape (Old Lunch), Saturday, 13 April 2019 14:38 (five years ago) link

the worst thing bout star wars now is feverishly hot takes on what scalded star wars bros will take issue with

fremme nette his simplicitte (darraghmac), Saturday, 13 April 2019 16:40 (five years ago) link

just imagining the collective groans in the cinema when we get to the Rey vs. TIE Fighter bullfighting in the desert sequence and she completely whiffs with the lightsaber

El Tomboto, Saturday, 13 April 2019 18:12 (five years ago) link

^^ This is why I've seen all the recent SW and Marvel things at smaller theatres out in the suburbs or someehing, usually days or a week after the films open. Black Panther is a recent exception. I can't deal with the vocal uber fans "awwww"-ing every time a character dies or "wooohooo" -ing whenever someone pops up on onscreen. No, I don't "hate fun" but I really hate overtly vocal expressions of fandom. Makes me cringe. Cosplayers as well.

I went to Dark Knight on opening night and this guy in the crowd timed a loud fart right as the movie started

Got your butt drank (Neanderthal), Saturday, 13 April 2019 18:26 (five years ago) link

Actually saw Force Awakens In NYC on its opening night and -- yeah --- that was it.

Carly Jae Vespen (Capitaine Jay Vee), Saturday, 13 April 2019 18:27 (five years ago) link

xpost lollll

Carly Jae Vespen (Capitaine Jay Vee), Saturday, 13 April 2019 18:27 (five years ago) link

they all arrive at the dunes across from the Death Star debris and go "wow, look at that!" and then carry on to their intended destination: another bar scene

El Tomboto, Saturday, 13 April 2019 18:29 (five years ago) link

droids keep getting smaller while lightsabers, like hairdryers, remain stuck in the same form factor as they were in the 70s

El Tomboto, Saturday, 13 April 2019 18:33 (five years ago) link

the lando and chewie bit is actually the first time the post-credits scene has been used in a teaser trailer; JJ still has some tricks up his sleeve, you see

El Tomboto, Saturday, 13 April 2019 18:35 (five years ago) link

Did he shoot from a script this time or is this gonna be another movie written in the edit bay

Which Beastie Boys song will he play in this one (my money is on 'Girls')

Hangover Ape (Old Lunch), Saturday, 13 April 2019 19:40 (five years ago) link

(Probably played over the climactic Rey/Ren fight in lieu of the same old John Williams snoozeage)

Whills! to keep a journal
Whills! to study the Force
Whills! That's all I really want, is Whills
two at a time, I want Whills
defying oblivion through compassion, I want Whills

I'm kinda trying to do something with egg man here but it doesn't seem to need any changes

the first few lines are about Lobot iirc

omar little, Saturday, 13 April 2019 23:04 (five years ago) link

Excuse me, I have to go pitch a Beasties-scored Lobot movie to Disney real quick.
