Star Wars Episode 8 - Page 31

~~Vegita-San~~ · 12-09-2017, 08:12 PM

For me, they are just not bringing in the same level of fun and originality that they deliver to the marvel films.

EVERYTHING is a SAFE and BORING episode 4 call back. We've seen it all before. Nostalgia callbacks are nothing new now. Even the 80s Turtles crossing over with the 2012 turtles didn't give me the same thrill that watching Turtles Forever did. It's just..we've seen it all before.

Un PC comment of the night.
Boy...Andi looks soo much cuter without the odd piercings and purple hair.

Whine whine whine.

Episode 8 doesn't look "safe" at all, it's nowhere going to be similar to an old movie like Episode 7 was. For the record I haven't read any spoilers, just going off trailers and the stuff revealed so far. At least wait till you see the movie first.

I don't think it's that at all for me, I still got hyped for Rogue One even though I never liked anything about that movie.

But I'm not even remotely hyped for this one, I also don't think it'll be a retread, it has to do something new or at least answer the questions that Ep.VII never did. I just don't care, maybe having a new movie every year does kill the enthusiasm of anything.

Actually going off of the trailers alone... 8 seems exactly like a 5 retread. Just about every shot you see in them reminds me of something from 5.

For the record, killing off Han Solo making Ben/Kylo take the step that Vader did not was not playing safe. I know that Guiness wanted out of the movie so the force ghost was created and Harrison thought Han's usefulness had reached its end,but Han Solo was killed off, that was gutsy and hard to watch as obvious as it was. Safe in some ways, sure, but not in others.

It didn't felt deserved.

Kylo Ren was not interesting or charismatic and the whole thing was just token "killing old character" for the sake of drama.
IMO.

Reading that makes me think of Independence Day 2. The biggest violator and attempt to shift focus onto the new ones.

That very act I felt took away any chance of Kylo being widely popular, but instead greatly despised.

I didn't despised him for this, I felt more like "meh".

My problem with new characters, that neither Rey nor Ren were interesting to me. The "old guard" was fine, Finn was fine, better than I have expected, but the main protagonist and, supposedly, main antagonist just felt very flat to me. And that alone kind of made me feel, not particularly interested in whatever had happened in the story.

Besides, my greatest fear is that they try to somehow pull out some ridiculous redemption for Ren in the last episode. Though of course, if they will be able to make him interesting in SW8, then, they can probably do it just fine, if not - who cares? I certainly won't.

If the music is the music we are getting in the new movie (played during the red carpet last night) notice they even redid a cue from han getting frozen.

True btw, about the clean slate, also with Carrie there will be no Leia either and she was originally going to have a strong story in that one (or so I heard).

Yeah. Abrams basically gets to do whatever he wants in 9. And

Latest tv trailers are actually more spoilery than the spoilers.

newfan Mad Scientist Join Date: Jul 2017 Location: UK Posts: 2,393	What do you think of that? (Andrew) Spoiler: I thought Snoke would last until the next one....and have a strong depth to his character. I suppose they want Ren to be the supreme bad guy. I thought there would be more to Rey (as I'm sure a lot of people did)... and... Luke should really have had his day in this one and died in the next, seen as they already killed Han. What's left for the next one? Rey vs very evil Ren and a ghost Luke? Last edited by newfan; 12-10-2017 at 05:42 AM.
