Star Wars Episode 8

[Andrew NDB]

Another question... was Obi-Wan really a Jedi Master? He was only a Jedi Knight at the time of his exodus to Tatooine. Did he just wake up one day and go, "I'm a master now"?

[ToTheNines]

Obi-Wan became a Master between II and III.

Has the passage of time caused anyone else to reassess their feelings about The Force Awakens?

I saw it opening day and was gushing about it to all my friends. Then I watched it again and kind of hated it after realizing that it was a carbon copy of IV. Later I realized that I still like Finn as a character. So now I am cautiously optimistic about the rest of the trilogy, though I am not interested in any other spin offs.

It wasn't as bad for me the second time around, but that was because I knew all the crap the film would throw at me in advance. No sad surprises that time.

If it was not for Darth Vadar I would not have cared about Rogue One. It was a smart movie giving him a minor role to get interest of those like me thus $. I admit I am not all about The Force Awakens like I was as I anticipated the film and the first time I saw it, but I do like it. Seeing it three times now its plot can be summed up in a paragraph. Not as much happens as one thinks when first seeing it. I can also see that Han bringing the group together was a solid plot for the character but do not feel his death accomplish anything only hatred towards Ben Solo's character and not the good kind of hate like his grandfather. It does however get me interested in more because I am very eagar to see what happens with Luke and Rey on the island.

Really? Nothing else about Rogue One intrigued you to see it if Darth Vader didn't get his 3 minutes of screentime in the film?

That is correct. I was on the edge of my seat leaning forward with a child-like grin the whole time Vadar appeared in the two scenes. Loved it just for that. I mean, we know the Death Star plans had a built in weakness and the plans were stolen to give to the Rebellion and leads into A New Hope. The cast would likely not make it out a live since they don't appear in the original trilogy. So my investment could not be made in the characters,but in Darth Vader alone, my second favorite villain overall after The Shredder.

I personally think Rogue One is vastly superior to Force Awakens.

It's definitely the lesser of two evils. If only because it wasn't a scene-for-scene remake.

[CyberCubed]

I plan on seeing all the upcoming Star Wars spinoffs, the only one I'm cautious about is young Han Solo for obvious reasons. No way can the actor pull off Harrisson Ford's mannerisms and voice, and re-casting an iconic character like that with a guy who is already an adult just doesn't sit well with me.

And now that they're already re-casting one of the original three, what's to stop them from doing it for Luke or Leia in other spinoff movies in the future?

Redbox or bust.

Agreed. These newer SW movies that have come out definitely haven't been worth the full admission, and I'm sure this one won't be any different.

I definitely won't be on the hype train this time.

But I hope VIII is at least moderately good.

This kind of makes me sad. Disney literally had most of the movie reshot just to accommodate the OT fetishists hungry for more Vader... and here you are.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I think I'm in the minority when I say that my preferred RO Vader scene was his discussion with Krennic. Lots of little subtle nods to his mannerisms in the original film: the pointing, the tinge of wit, even the red eyes.

There aren't flashbacks in the episodic SW movies (no, Rey's Force trip in 7 doesn't count). But Han might have left some holographic... something behind that will be played at his funeral (which we have been told we'll see in this).

[CyberCubed]

Either that or they find his dead body, and Harrison Ford gets paid just for lying dead on a table.

If so, has Disney offered an official translation for the film's title in any of those languages?

Looks like I had a good hunch.

The Brazilian translation seemingly suggested a singular, male Jedi when the title was first announced. However, several new translated titles were just revealed on official Star Wars social media accounts, including plural translations like the Italian Gli Ultimi Jedi.
