j.J. loves you , CFC guys ...
while it's a bad thing , calling people names in places they don't even know , it can not be really helped , right ? Let's see the hands , people , who's in agreement with the proposition that
<as well as a daring, ticking-clock on-board mission ... with Ackbar-rattling tension> which ı take to be the hacking operation on the orc's ship .
<Luke’s failure to properly train his nephew—thus giving rise to Kylo Ren—has prompted him to essentially tune out the Force, and to turn against his once-idealistic, hubristic former Jedi self. > Hubris should be like being assured of victory , ignoring threats big and small and now that Disney wants all those 260 or so books about Luke invalid and stuff , at least according to the claims of active Luke people , must have happened on film . As he is called a Jedi like only by one , then this must be where he looks rather scared against the Rancor or feeling lonely when the space kermit disappears into thin air or crying daddy onboard the Death Star . Though ı will have to concede the point about surrendering on Endor , but then he had lost only his hand on Bespin and only because he wasn't listening .
<he gets one of the movie’s biggest laughs before uttering a single line>Maybe ı was too surprised but somehow ı don't remember much laughter even if there were only 20 people in , but anyhow as well .
< the seat-levitatingly awesome third-act dogfight>Hmm , problematical again . being a propellerhead am so inclined to fancy that is the TIE's vs skimmers , though Millennium Falcon indeed arrives ...
<It’s a movie that lures you in with the familiar and the beloved, only to instead turn into something wiser, deeper, and more true than you could have ever guessed. It’s a trap, and a near-perfect one at that.>Yeah , whatever ...
like everybody understands the times change , like 35 years since ı sat on the stairs watching Leia save Luke under the Cloud City , waiting people to leave so that ı could get a seat . Was barely out of primary school , my classmates who married and stuff might have starting to see their kids graduating from university . Even has no issues with some guy being the leader of the pack of his times , but . Was Spielberg ever this annoying ? Aping the OT , down to changing directors in the middle , to get a wildly "different" , kinda "deeper" movie . And yeah , also wiser and more true . Nobody will stop people making a better Star Wars movie than Lucas , the one guy who (like by consensus) did wasn't , right ? But a lot have changed in the century that passed between ? Oh why , the bomber girl should have had a smart phone , instead of that stupid red button , of the kind you would actually press to stop bombs from falling in the first place ! So that she could download an app from the web and right on ! Stupid Disney , can not manage internet connection in mere orbit ! Oh wait , Supreme Leader Snoke cuts down the connection . Oh , what drama , what realism , as everybody can actually relate to the dreaded lack of connections . Irrefutable proof on screen , not in the platitudes of some movie critic , who might be receiving Disney money even .
star Wars scrambles sensors , just like it jams communications , failing all that the Jedi have handwaving . No cloaks here , apart from as a fashion thing . No Romulans , no Klingons . The Trekization of this franchise will cease ; despite my , don't know , even love for the former . Oh , the fun , if Luke learned from Khan and beamed himself in Earth to Chronos multiplied by 5 like and we learned it wasn't just a dream from the dice ? Previously hanging in the Falcon's cockpit ? Oh , the fun , if Poe was indeed surprised and asking how Luke came in ? Oh , the fun , if Rey found no gaps and bore a tunnel into the mountain ? Stupid Disney , why not just ape Val Kilmer in that movie where he tries to save a professor and the professor has already dug one for himself ? You know , two or four lanes , asphalt covered as well ? Please , don't have Rey parting the Red Sea , will be hard to defend , even with the Ridley Factor ...
talking of which ... This sounds to be real and stuff:
"It's me Shatner. I just wanted to say hi, and tell you guys the last jedi indeed was bad. We have had this banter rivalry with Star Wars for ages, but this was the first time I saw Mark truly depressed about what they did with luke.
If they took Kirk made him a crying coward who sells out best friends and dies for nothing at all I suppose I would be mad too."
not being on the web everyday has its disadvantages , like having to save the thread and read it later , meaning any contribution like comes so late . Skimmers vs the bombard and the like tactics . The ones that might have turned the Clones already against their Jedi generals ...
well , the tactics in Phantom Menace are , yes , good . Droids commanded a far , saves tons of processor time if those boxes of droids indeed move as one . And take individual aim and whatnot . Droids are cheap , any losses will be made good , their casualties do not count in a sense . Gungans , likewise . Sitting under the shield , protected from heavy fire . And their close order allows them to use personal shields . Even their catapults make sense , every blaster bolt they miss the droids with will hit the shield instead , weakening it . As soon as the shields are down , they run . Attack of the Clones . 500 Jedis in one place . Why , they are not like expecting to fight . No planet has seen 500 jedis on mission , them Bugs , would give up immediately , unless assured by the presence of the Sith on their back . Then the Clones arrive and soundly kick the backside of the Seperatists . We don't see close packed Clones , maybe except in early deployment , coming out of the transports and the like . The last of the prequels definitely shows Adi Ki Mundi , ahead of his troops , deflecting bolts . Saving lives of his troops . There ain't much place on a bridge to deploy . Then the cartoons . Maybe not meant but at least justified by the line "for the kids" . 10 year olds are not expected to understand they should disperse under fire ? But good for story telling . If more than half the Clones fall under enemy fire , the kid understands the casualties are heavy . If just one or two , Obi Wan or Anakin won a great victory . And for every legion of Clones marching into the meat grinder , there is another episode where the troops fight seperately , take to the ground , set up ambushes or patrol to avoid ambushes .
crait ? Ah , 13 volunteers flying in a straight line against a battleline of stuff . And if walkers are meant to penetrate theater shields and there are those "legs" like 11 ahead and 10 behind as much as we would have trains of oxen to pull ours from Edirne to Istanbul in 1453 , what's it with the gun ? Didn't see wheels , right ? Back to volunteers . See , to justify the yuge gun on the AT6Ms , they have added extra surface to the front legs . One shot should have retired Poe , Finn , Rose and that 10 immediately from the films . Look , ı have more than 6 "degrees" of myopia in one eye , even more in the other . Give me a Maxim type gun , Vickers or MG08 perhaps and set me up high on one of those walkers with one belt of 200 and merely ever having fired 3 rounds in my entire life , ı promise ı'd inflict more casualties than the neo Space Nazis . As already noticed by so many , the volunteers are not even at full speed , as proven by Finn taken out by Rose after curving to one side and cutting across . The volunteers do not even send one or two ahead , to raise that smokescreen , to keep the ones behind comparatively safe . Short of cloning the old cast , there is no alternative but a fresh take , but war movies and the like should have come a long way , right ? Hence , tactically ridiculous indeed ... Should people look forward to IX where the Rebels form a circle and AT6Ms run circles around , perhaps shooting arrows inside ?
now Boba Fett time , having checked the thread . Back in 1982 ı had no idea what was happening and why he appeared when Han tricked the Stardestroyer and he was there on Bespin . Only when he took the carbonite Han and he was chased and all that . And no issues when "he died" . But in 2018 , people should really stop claiming that George Lucas had not mapped the first 3 , before he started the second 3 . Maybe Jango Fett was not the source material for the Clones , maybe he wasn't Boba's father , maybe his name wasn't Jango , but Boba hated Jedis , as we saw in that 40 pointless minutes and he disintegrated them whenever possible . And the only value of Han and even Leia is that Luke will come to them . All 3 are required to be alive , one to turn and two as live bait . Fett can't be a failure , considering who is the premier Jedi Hunter of those days .
