With Limitless I don't really pay anything as such so it doesn't matter how many times I watch it. I didn't like it the first time but decided not to cancel the second booking because I knew I would like to hear the music again. And when I visited my family back home for Christmas my sister had a "surprise" cinema trip for me. I was about to say no but watching SW together is our family tradition so..That makes it three times altogether. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The Emperor wasn't good in this. His dialogue was mainly stilted expository crap and most of the movie he was a reanimated corpse attached to a crane like something out of Doctor Who. Lucas could do the Emperor, there's no doubt about that. JJ, Batman vs. Superman writer and the lady who produced Always and Congo can not.

1977 1,743 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Any alternative ideas as to how this episode should have gone down story-wise?

What I mean is that it was much more meta than Star Wars humor usually is.

Just interested to hear some different viewpoints, not trying to start anything. Kylo Ren is the villain, Rey is still a nobody, you can keep the Dyad concept. Rey and Ren race toward a McGuffin which could enhance their Force capabilities so as to allow one to triumph over the other. Only Rey, after much deliberation, ends up using it to disable the ability of people all around the Galaxy to use The Force, thereby robbing Kylo of his power. There are no more Force-users: no more Jedi and no more Sith. Sustainable peace is therefore achieved, but at a cost. 1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Some device to disable all of the Jedi's power seems too preposterous, but I think something like Aang taking away Firelord Ozai's bending would've been interesting had Rey taken a similar path with Palpatine - leaving him a corpse, doomed to wander the scorched plains of Exegol like a ghost, in turn making him a nobody. Kylo would've already sacrificed his life force to Rey in order for the powers of the Dyad to be contained in her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen G. 3,944 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 All the space nazis in Star Wars were always headed or masterminded by dark Force users. No Force using means no dark Force users, and could mean no space Nazis would come to power, certainly not in a way that allows them to overwhelm the good guys as they were wont to do in the previous entries. I think all good fantasy endings take away from the fancifulness of the fantasy, leaving in its trail a somewhat dull, more mundane world which you wouldn't want to see another film set in. Perhaps it could be said that the mark of a good concluding chapter is that it drives out any incentive to look forward to another chapter.

HunterTech 987 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 TRoS left me with the same feeling Dark Phoenix did. There was actually quite a bit of stuff that I found could be intriguing if the time was there to really focus on it. However, because TLJ caused the world to set aflame, they had to speed and tie everything up in as nice of a bow as they could. It was a relatively entertaining 2 hour watch, which I think was helped by knowing fully what to expect. Gave me the feeling similar to Ep 8 funnily enough, where some of the issues people had felt really overblown once I'd finally seen it. Nevertheless, it was movie that I think lost its chance to truly shine with presumably all the stuff that ended up being gutted in the cutting room floor.

_deleted_ 203 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Has Hollywood finally normalized reboots and sequels? Is TROS the critical step in their game of remaking every IP they own till the end of time? 19 hours ago, HunterTech said: Dark Phoenix I’m sure this won’t be the last film to make you feel like watching DP. 😞 Has anybody noticed how TROS ripped off Titanic’s ending? Girl sees Important Stuff. Girl takes Special Name. The End. Rise of the Palpatine. 0/5 stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
