Star Wars Episode 8

I didn't even know Akbar was in these movies, I just assumed it was another one of his race of fish people.

[Utrommaniac]

Yeah, he was there. He's even listed off as one of those who died in the attack that Leia survived.

(His species is "Mon Calamari" and whoever came up with that needs a good smack )

And thus she chooses to instead violently crash into him which could/should have had the resulted in both their deaths, as well as the deaths of the Resistance in the base. Brilliant.

I'm surprised Rose's rusty flying bucket could actually catch up to Finn's.

But yeah I'm sure Rose's gonna be fine in next Star Wars; just like how Finn was seriously injured in TFA but fit as a fiddle in TLJ pretty much immediately. Also, just like how Kylo's face was horribly scarred looking ugly - but it later miraculously moved, look fine and "edgy" in TLJ.

This SW universe has no repercussion whatsoever apparently.

I'll take the bait, Finn was in a medically-induced coma at the end of the force awakens and he's in a medical regeneration bag at the beginning of Last Jedi. Which looks to me like a mobile version of the tank that like was in.

And we actually see kylo Ren scar being healed during the course of the movie.

Is the argument that medical technology hasn't improved?
I mean I guess it's a fair argument, given that apparently in the prequels the obstetric care available is so shotty women still due in labor...

If memory serves me right, it wasn't anything to do with the care provided that caused her to die. She more or less gave up.

Yeah, the accelerated healing stuff goes back to Empire, it just seems to me they figured out a way to make it take less space than the big tanks from those days.

I'm sure it was Bacta fluid, yeah.

The cure for a broken heart wasn't invented by the Republic until 3 years after "Revenge of the Sith," unfortunately.

I'd love to see a comic based on Lucas' treatments for VII-IX, like how Dark Horse adapted his early drafts into that comic miniseries called "The Star Wars."

Mark Hamill regrets trash-talking Luke Skywalker's direction in 'The Last Jedi'

Aww, poor Mark feeling guilty.

I have read that one.
It was very Flash Gordon-y. I find it interesting like some of the stuff from this version of the story was used in pretty much all both OT and PT.

Also, the fact that Darth Vader is essentially combination of 4 (!!) different characters from this script is quite amusing.

Complete and utter bull.

I'm surprised Disney let him go on that long. but I Guess the second weekend of dropped sales didn't help.

I didn't read that one, but hearing it was like Flash Gordon makes a lot of sense to me given how much of an influence old film serials were on George Lucas.

That implies Disney is worried and I highly doubt that. The Last Jedi has already made eight hundred million worldwide without even releasing in China yet, three weekends in. The suggested price for it to break even, including promotion, is eight hundred million. They broke even early. It's projected to close around one point six billion. I doubt any of the usual dickhead suits at Disney are losing any sleep, much less rushing over to Mark Hammils house to break his kneecaps this late in the game.

Mark Hammill said himself actors and writers/directors will always have creative differences, this is the same for almost anything in production.

66 year old millionaire Mark Hammill doesn't have a feud with Rian Johnson. I don't know why you think every person who works under Disney has some problem with them.

[newfan]

Mark just voiced his opinion on Luke's character and said that he wished they'd taken some of Lucas input, I've not read him actually trashing the movie itself or the director.

[Vegita-San]

So, all that 'not my luke skywalker' was him just voicing his opinion, not trashing the movie?

He can't even remember Rey's name in some of the videos he's in with daisy.

he may not have trashed the director directly, but I feel everything he said before was his way of trashing the movie sequel trilogy.

the biggest drop off in movie history might have something to do with them reigning in their biggest star. especially since all the male star wars fans they thought they could do without looked up to what he said. as well as lots of the female ones.

If you go back and read interviews he did during the press tour prior to the release he said the exact same thing. The problem is those interviews were picked apart and only focused on his initial feelings and not the parts where he admitted he was wrong to feel that way. Hamill was also against what happened to Luke in ESB and ROTJ but that doesn't help the narrative you're pushing.

I saw that part of the interview. but if you see the utter lack of enthusiasm he has...it's rather hard to deny that he could care less about these new movies.
