Nick1Ø66 4,714 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The Star Wars Story Group was created by Kathleen Kennedy. They rebelled. They evolved. They look, and act, like they're in charge. Some believe they are in charge. They have many stories. And they have... A PLAN. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously humans have never been advanced enough to develop technology as seen in SW, so it has to be set in our future as a species. The only logical explanation is that humans in SW originated on Earth, but eventually abandoned it perhaps because it became too inhospitable to survive here. So they went and colonised other planets across the galaxy and interacted with other species, then setting up a capital and system of government which would eventually be known as the Republic.

crumbs 14,316 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 So much moaning in this thread. Nobody's taking away your original movies (well, except George Lucas). If you don't like the new ones, just ignore them? As for the notion that TLJ wiped the slate clean, that's relatively true. How refreshing for the middle film of a trilogy, unlike the tedious Marvel movies where every line of dialogue seems to be vetted in the slavish service of an overarching plan. The whole point of TLJ is that the past needs to die and the new needs to rise. Let's not forget Abrams said he regretted not directing TLJ after reading Johnson's script, so clearly he liked the choices that were made and realised the level of creative liberation Rian was handing his successor. It also means Abrams has had 2 years to think about what he would do for IX, so that's encouraging. John and Pieter Boelen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the approach Jackson should have taken with The Two Towers. Frodo should have just discovered that the ring could be destroyed by tossing it in with Sam's rabbit stew. Bob's your uncle, quest is over. Then Aragorn finds out he's not the heir of Gondor, but was actually an orphan whose parents were delusional and raised him with wild stories about him being a King. Finally, we learn Gandalf is just a charlatan...a conjurer of cheap tricks and excellent fireworks maker. Leaves the final 2.5 hours of the movie open to subvert out expectations and sets up Return of the King nicely. Hopefully the Middle Earth story group at Amazon will consider this approach. 4 hours ago, crumbs said: Let's not forget Abrams said he regretted not directing TLJ after reading Johnson's script, so clearly he liked the choices that were made and realised the level of creative liberation Rian was handing his successor.

If Chekhov's gun is in the room, occasionally it is refreshing if it isn't fired. That's what red herrings are all about. Game of Thrones thrived on them too, with the "red wedding" literally showing that a huge part of the story had been a "red herring". Nothing wrong with some good surprises, red herrings and an unexpected turnaround. And nothing wrong with some good predictability at times either. It all depends. Best is to join them together so it's unclear what's what. Which is what they did with TLJ. Or at the very least, they gave it a fair shot. crumbs, Holko, Will and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifully, Jackson and New Line kept the end of LOTR as it was in the book (more or less), but certainly not without tinkering. And had they wanted, they could have changed it any way they wished, including having a spaceship flown by Tom Bombadil swoop down and teleport Gollum up just as he's falling into the crack of doom. Back then, Jackson & co. respected Tolkien's source material and wisely choose to keep most of it (including the denouement), largely intact, even though they certainly could have done otherwise (see Hobbit Trilogy, The).

Chen G. 3,949 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I don't mean in terms of deviations from the source material. That's a given when you do an adaptation. What I'm saying is that we have The Lord of the Rings, and every other film or television program in that franchise can only be a prequel. Unlike with Star Wars where the conclusion of the story in Episode IX has the potential of not feeling earned because its made by different people to those who made the bulk of the franchise.
