James 119 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hamill is right to defend his point of view, but the people should care less about divisive reactions, especially with this kind of universe, reworked so many times.The reactions of the public are naturals. There are those who are being presented the franchise now, there are those who have known it with the prequels and veterans of the original trilogy. It's impossible to please everyone. And the new always finds resistance to be accepted because there is much material already made that can serve as a parameter for criticism.

Will 2,215 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 This feels very similar to George Lucas in 2015, when he gave TFA very faint praise (and gave that "white slavers" remark) and then backtracked several weeks later, saying that he loved what Disney was doing with the franchise, in a press release statement.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'm beginning to believe he was somehow coerced into selling it to Disney. Perhaps through blackmail or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,300 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 First look at the film's deleted scenes, which answers a few questions about that mysterious trailer footage of Rey running with her lightsaber on Acht-To: Awesome! Can't imagine Williams scored this with anything less than Rey's/The Force/Luke's Theme. Plus, what appears to be some weird native celebration thrown in for good measure!

Jurassic Shark 12,024 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I think they should have included more of the Ahch-To scenes in the final cut and rather cut parts of the Canto Bight subplot. Rey's visit to Luke feels underdeveloped as it is now. idril 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,300 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 That seems to be the moment Luke realises he fucked up and has an epiphany, before burning the ancient Jedi texts. Strange they deleted it. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it wasn't working from the very outset. Besides the pacing implications and even the aesthetic of Canto Bight, I think that the themes which Rian Johnson tried to infuse that subplot with (social commentary, morality of arms trades, animal cruelty) stood outsid of the film's overarching themes (demystifying of heroes, depression, loyalty). And because of that, their presentation was rushed and didn't feel organic. A. A. Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the same plot device as Phantom Menace; slaves have an embedded microchip which detonates if they try to escape. Presumably they don't bother putting one in the animals, given their lack of sentience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
