Star Wars Episode VIII - The Last Jedi

I agree, that's what I've been saying. @Aginor is right though when he says that objections raised were probably because as Star Wars we know that it is fabricated, so on some level it bothers us. They did do a good job with it, just not as good as Tarkin; who was spot on

 

I actually thought that the Tarkin CGi was almost too realistic, if that’s possible. It seemed almost more realistic and detailed than the real deal, and I could tell it was CGi. It wasn’t bad, it was almost too good.

As for L3-37, I thought her character was taking the piss out of the SJW stereotypes as much as if not more so than it was supporting it. When I watched it with my friends, we all found her hilarious

 

Trust me it was not satirical. If you look at the general trend of Star Wars and Disney it becomes more and more obvious (both within the movie and through promotion / fan interaction).

Case in point, Kathleen Kennedy (president of Lucasfilm):

 

I actually thought Vader was rather poorly done in the Original Trilogy and that he was illustrated as an ‘all mouth but no trousers’ character, compared to Darth Maul, Count Dooku and Darth Sidious from Episodes I-III who were all so much more impressive with their Lightsaber skills and force abilities. It was only when I saw Rogue One that this opinion was obliterated. Just that one scene redeemed Vader in my eyes and truly showed us all what he was capable of - better than all of his scenes in the OT combined in my opinion. Before I went to see it I was secretly hoping that they would show Vader killing Rebel soldiers as this hadn’t been seen in the OT, and I was awe-inspired.

I believe both CGI characters were very good, but Tarkin in particular - they really did do a good job with bringing Peter Cushing back from the dead and got his gaunt look spot on. The voice actor was also very convincing - “You may fire when ready.”

 

Obviously the choreography and focus on force powers were not nearly as sophisticated in the OT. The fight scenes were much slower, but that is simply a product of the times. Likewise, the special effects to bring about force powers were still in their infancy. However, Vader had a onscreen presence throughout those movies that has not been matched in any Star Wars movie since then. There is a reason why he is the most famous Star Wars character!

 

I personally loved the last jedi except for two scenes lol you know which ones lol. Other than that it was hilarious and well written. Especially when Chewbacca roared and the little puffin thing did to.

 

Surprisingly the Porgs were pretty good. I was really worried when I first saw them in the trailer but they turned out well.

 

Agreed - they were by no means an Ewok remake and were pretty funny in their antics.

 

Your thoughts betray you @Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl . I feel the good in you; the conflict. I made fun of TLJ, but I used a prequel meme to do so. Do you like this or hate it?!

 

I like it very much - I may like the Last Jedi, I may think it wipes the floor with the Force Awakens, but the stupid Leia in space moment and Poe disarming a Dreadnought all by himself addled the film’s plot in my view. It’s certainly nothing compared to the grand sweeping saga of Episodes I-III, and I’m pleased that it has drawn a lot of hate away from Episode I.

 

I love the star wars rpg as well. I forget what edition I have but it’s just like D&D 3.5E. And it’s really fun. Especially reading the expanded species list.

 

I am very bad at being a Star Wars fan. Someone please explain: 1) the glove; 2) who this is (a director?); 3) why it is funny (If it’s funny) that he wears the glove; 4) and who’s glove it was in which movie.
