This thread has gotten my hype to a point I can't even begin to explain.

I really did love TFA but to deny that a lot of it was totally unoriginal would be silly of me. Getting confirmation that the next director won't be playing it safe has my hype as fuck.

My only fear is that it's going to be something dumb like time travel. I really hope it's not time travel.

It's not like people liked The Phantom Menace, they were just giving it the benefit of the doubt because it was only one of the three movies.

Then AotC came out and 2/3rds of the trilogy was confirmed to be shit. It didn't matter how good the final movie was at that point.

I'm more excited for Gareth Edwards' Rogue One.

Hope he isn't saddled with a retarded script this time around. His work with Godzilla 2014 was excellent but boy did that movie have some eye-rollers written into it.

Why is Felicity Jones cast as the lead, though? I don't seem to recall any females in Rogue Squadron.

Because there's no point in even setting it in the Star Wars universe, you're taking away 95% of Star Wars' appeal and you're basically left with X-Wings and the brand name. Might as well just make a balls out original sci-fi space action movie without being constrained by someone else's canon

Looper is the best PKD movie not based on a PKD story.

Which is also why Rian was selected for this. Like JJ, his work is entirely derivative. He is known only for adapting previous genre styles and established plots.

Brick is Sam Spade High School. Phillip Marlowe, Senior Year. Looper is Flow My Tears, The Mobster Said. The Brothers thing is The Sting III: Aughties Edition.

Plus, Looper made like 180 on 30, so a three-bagger at worst. Even if the doubled up on marketing its 90 for 60. Plus, they've surrounded him with safety nets - all the sets, actors and effects, music and production crews are broken in already. All he has to do is point the camera and not spit on anybody.

Well, TFA is already remake of V. Dont be fooled by Deathstar III. The ending especially is exactly like the ending of V.

You have even "we have to turn of shield of Deathstar" subplot from VI.

TFA is not just a remake of ANH, but of OT.

I dont understand how nobody can see this. And I must admit it is an accomplishment.

Remember when Gunn got guardians of the galaxy and people thought it was going to be crazy but turned out to be just like all the other marvel movies

The same thing with this.

It won't be a shot for shot remake of new hope but it won't take any serious risks (Luke being evil)

Anyway TFA wasn't even bad , JJ just made a few obvious mistakes that he should have caught
1)Poe stays around entire film
2)phasma does something
3)Rey basically loses to Ren but escapes because chewie shows up in falcon/earthquake
4) star killer base is disabled but not destroyed

Pretty obvious stuff, and you wouldn't have to change much of the plot (which was largely a rehash)

Not him but I like the prequels

I was 6 when I saw The Phantom Menace but it wasn't til I was 16 or 17 that I saw the others.

>special effects
Depends on the effects. I think the aliens look better for the most part in the original trilogy, but think CGI Yoda is really well done and was necessary for what they did with him.

The Phantom Menace's effects hold up aside from the Gungans but even they don't look horrible.

Clone Troopers were inexcusable laziness.

The ships all look great in the PT.

>>64320508
>The ships all look great in the PT.
yeah i can see that. I actually kinda like those yellow silvery ships

im just trying to get a sense of how it was for people. I imagine they are more generous towards it like I am towards the OT which probably is kinda iffy (when i have friends who first watched it as grown ups and didnt like it)

>>64320505
I don't have to actually enjoy eminem to think he's (or was at least) a great lyricist.
I fucking hate Jackson Pollack, but it's retarded to say there's no thought put into his works.
I think Breaking Bad is a meme show that is too popular for its own good, but I respect it for what it did and think it has had some cinematically phenomenal episodes.

You don't have to like everything about something to compliment it you dumb fuck.

>>64320678
Yes, nothing about that is contradictory, not sure what you're quoting.
The prequels are bad movies. They have poor acting, performances, jarring special effects, too much stuff going on sometimes and other times just boring political chatter, horribly written dialogue and so on.
But they do an excellent job at world building, creatively are very original movies, and a few select scenes add a lot to the OT (such as the scene immediately after the high ground meme scene, where Obi Wan is in tears).
They're not worth viewing on their own. To an extent they're not always even worth viewing when watching the OT. But having watched them at least once does add to the OT, and it certainly adds a lot to the overall universe of Star Wars.

TFA is just so derivative it feels copy paste. One of the few good things (along with the music, which is fantastic) about the PT is how original it is.
>>
>>64320794
i actually agree that PT has way better music and TFA is kinda crap

one of the biggest gripes with them is that, arguably, they remove more from it than add to it
hence the "old friend" meme

This, reddit doesnt understand that Star Wars without Jedi is just bland space garbage

>omg a band of brothers about clone troopers would be so amazing why dont they do that???
and now we have Rogue one

if Vader doesn't show up in a cameo slaughtering rebel scum then the movie will be confirmed complete shit

Old friend meme is salvaged by the clone wars cartoon.
It's only bad because the Clone Wars cartoon presents their friendship awfully. It's good that their friendship is falling apart in Revenge right around when Anakin falls to the dark side though.

Plebs gonna pleb. Looper's one of the most intriguing sci-fi movies to have come out this generation. The world-building was phenomenal. I was genuinely surprised that it isn't based on a comic book series or something.
>>
>>64321031
I'm not a huge fan of the cartoon as some people on 4chan is, but it is canon, and it does present them as actually friends throughout most of it.

>what is visual storytelling
The point isn't the twist. Obviously some people would only make the connection at that point but that's not the point of the shot. If you know the "twist" already then you know that Palpatine is clearly not mourning Qui Gon here, but Maul. It's basically just a reaction shot, and a great one.

Also if you like poetry - the only thing standing between Palpatine and Anakin is now Obi-Wan and Padme.

Battlefront actually worked though, it still had Jedi you just couldnt play as them because it wasnt about that. Then Battlefront 2 came along and fucked it all up

They should have made aotc a story about obi wan searching revenge on doku on quigons behalve and this way portray these two characters better. Cut all the other crap. Let obi find the clone army then let him search for doku and show us how he fell to the dark side while wanting tomsave the republic from itself yaddayadda. The last battle is fine to me without the jedi arena bullshit.
>>
>>64321050
I agree
then pseudo-nerds pretend that time travel in movies was every anything other than magic and pretend that Looper breaks some "logical" rules, when in fact it sets its own rules and never betrays them
>>
>>64320881

Its Disney, they'll have a few uncredited rewrites to at least make it bearable. But Gary Whitta is shit. Gareth is an alright director but I'm not sold on him. Sucks too because its got a great cast and interesting, darker premise.

These two were my favorite part of this movie, and then Rey came along and fucking ruined it.

Just make it so that Rey was trained as a young kid by Luke and dropped off on Jakku by someone and she had her mind wiped or lost her memory or suppressed it or something to explain why she could use the force so well.

I think they just put random names of movie industry fags in a hat and are randomly drawing them to decide who they hire for Star Wars. So much of this shit doesn't make sense, like the Lego Movie guy directing the Han Solo movie.

Rian Johnson is the only one who I'm even a little bit optimistic about.

I dunno, I like the idea that the main conflicts of each trilogy have this throughline.The First Order would be cool if it was what the scrappy ISIS kind of rebellion that you would assume based off of the scenario. That it's functionally just the Empire 2.0 is a big missed opportunity.
