Jurassic Shark 12,012 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Even if Luke knew that Leia was his sister in the first film, he'd probably make a pass at her anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The essence of the storytelling had to be sacrificed for the limits of technology. George had very specific shots that he wanted to be able to achieve, but it was extremely difficult to do that with models on wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,942 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 8 hours ago, Stefancos said: The first movie is always the best one! Its a matter of preference, really. Some people just like the establishing film the most in almost any series. Because, when first seeing the film (having not seen any sequel but knowing that there are some), one can only imagine as to the content of sequels, it gives the film a sense of expanse, as though the story extends beyond the runtime of the piece. I often like the bridging film/s the best. They're often free from the need to start the story from scratch, and from reaching a full resolution, and as a result they're often the most dynamic and kinetic of the bunch (Empire Strikes Back being the epitome of this). In the rare instances in which the concluding piece fully sticks the landing, its my favourite. After all, what gives meaning to a story if not its climax?

Ollie 1,059 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 On 4/19/2019 at 11:18 PM, Stefancos said: It never felt natural or logical to me. Going into Jedi, I always thought Vader was lying and Luke’s dad was still alive and only Yoda knew that, hence the “no there is another” line that made it seem like obi-wan didn’t know as well. Or there would be a new character introduced in Jedi that was a sibling. I also thought Han would kill Jaba and convince the smugglers, which we never saw, to join the fight against the Empire. Giving the final battle more oomph, instead of little furry creatures running around. On 4/19/2019 at 11:23 PM, Stefancos said: And the acting by Hamill and Fisher is pretty awful. Well Fisher was probably zonked out on drugs during most of Jedi, her acting and her sudden raspy voice sure feels like it. Ford’s jealousy after Luke reveals his news to Leia is just as bad.

rough cut 1,714 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 What do you think about the latest news cropping up? That “George Lucas helped finish The Rise of Skywalker”, or more specifically (courtesy of IGN): “We had conversations amongst ourselves, we met with George Lucas before writing the script.” / J. J. Abrams Seems very vague. It seems to me a kind of preemptive damage control. In case fans doesn’t like the movie, as happened with TLJ, Disney are able to say: “Hey! It’s not our fault! Look! The original creator helped! You liked the original trilogy, right? Well... then you should like this as well! If you don’t - well, that’s up to you, not us.” Chen G. and leeallen01 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, on the other hand, bringing back The Emperor (although I still think he will not actually appear) sounds more like a Lucas thing than an Abrams thing.
