>"Nobody knows where the Emperor came from," the director remarked. "Why should I waste time creating a backstory for a character who, in all honesty, wouldn't even benefit from it? The story is only moving in one direction - foward."
How do you feel about that?
"writing is hard" - Hollywood 2016
I don't care because I don't watch movies made for children
miss me yet?
>>68945517
Actually yes.
But the emperor came from Naboo. It's canon now.
this is the correct decision
I don't watch these movies, but that seems perfectly reasonable. Only manchildren and extended universe autists care about "backstories".
Feel pretty weird since that article has nothing to do with the Emperor or Snoke.

Are you fucking kidding me?
>>68945517
Goddammit George, I fucking hate your prequels and virtually everything you did post-Episode VI, but goddamn if I can honestly say I don't.
Can someone help explain why should I care?
>>68945439
So they're not going to flesh out the post galactic civil war era at all? What is the fucking point of making a new trilogy?
>>68945618
Writing went completely to shit ever since that strike.
Even blockbusters were decently written at least back then.
>>68945439
Rian literally cant do anything wrong
hes bringing it back. this is going to be the best episode
>>68945439
So they will never explain how he got in his actual position in the story?
>Nobody knows where the Emperor came from
But we do, Disney literally did it.
We also know how he got in power thanks to the prequels.
>>68945712

This is copypasta and the link is to something different. OP did it before but with Kylo instead of Snoke.

exceptional
>>68945517
Yes. Episode 2 was shit, but I really liked episode 3 and 1 even had it's charms(the Darth Plagueis book adds to the episode 1 story quite a bit, highly recommended).
I mean, it's not like he needs a backstory. But the Emperor made up for it by being charming as fuck.
Maybe Snoke could be fun, but he doesn't seem that interesting yet
Based Rian
This is the best decision
Prequelbabies are already triggered
Reminder rian likes the prequels as far as their originality goes
>"BUT ORIGINAL TRILOGY..."
How would you even try to do something new and interesting with this franchise when such a retards are working? Star Wars got to popular for it's own sake, neither filmmakers nor public want anything new in it.
SW got to popular for it's own sake, we'll never get anything new out of it. If George truly cared about it he should have fucking burry it. Get ready for endles reruns of Old Trilogy.

Not attempting to accomplish what a bad writer failed to do is just lazy, pure and simple.
JJ loves putting zero context in shit, whether it needs that context or not.
If Snoke's origins aren't important to the plot, then it's fine, but if this decision ends up filling the story full of holes, then there is no excuse for it.
>>68946114
except they are letting Rian handle starkino
disney knows they need to inject some original filmmaking.. they arent scared of it doing badly because it wont it cant. episode viii is guaranteed 1.5 billion
>Episode 7, 8 and 9 are nostalgic wanks
>Episode 10, 11, 12 all try something new and different, end up making less money than 7, 8 and 9.
>Episode 13, 14 and 15 revert to extreme nostalgic wanks
and there lies the cycle.
do they have to come from somewhere? Can't there be self trained sith? Saying he must have a master that turned him evil is childish. That proves you all star wars fans are retarded manchildren
You fucking children are so retarded that you fall for it twice. How about clicking the link for once? I bet the OP could've fucking linked beastiality porn and not one of you fuckers would've noticed. You would've still bought what OP said cause you are all mentally disabled 12 year olds.
when the Episode VIII trailer drops everyone will be shitting themselves. Guaranteed. Here's a taste.

If Disney will feel any money in Snokes backstory I bet your as we'll see entire new trilogy about it.
Hacks working on new Star Wars movies should drop the act, they are merely remaking Lucas ideas. It's ok for directors but if you are writer working on a SW movie you are cuck and a piece of shit.
>>68946226
youre right on point 1
For point two I think episode 10 will do "poorly" by disney standards and at that point there will be an episode 6 remake
>>68946226
oh youve seen the script for episode viii and are directing episode ix??? fuck off nigger
Look out Hack hack and George you worthless fat blob
Rian will show you how to make real KINOGRAPHY
The new era of starkino is already around the corner
>>68946273
look mom i posted it again
fuck yourself. you have no idea how filmmaking is done nor have you been paying attention to anything in the last 6 months when it comes to episode viii. they are letting Rian run with it
>>68946251
This is the 4th time I did this. Tomorrow I'll probably title the thread "We will not be exploring the effects of the Republic's destruction." link the same article, and then greentext this:
>"Nobody once remarked at the line "the senate has been swept away" in Star Wars. Nobody. It was something you accepted, and then moved on from. We will not be exploring the Republic at all. The conflict is between the Resistance and the First Order. That's it. It gets messy if you over-complicate things with politics."

Eh. Whatever I didn't give a fuck anyways. It is better they don't say anything then to come up with something shitty

This is the second time this has been pulled and retards still think it's real.
He'll get backstory but it'll be a huge twist that's why they say that
>>68945439
Lets face it, these new Star Wars movies are nothing but fan fiction movies, Lucas himself will never have anything to do with these movies so they mean nothing. If Film is to be considered an art form then the Artist that made the previous 6 having nothing to do with the new ones would be like someone creating a painting today and trying to pass it off as a Picasso or Van Gogh.
>>68945439

/tv/ is going to love Episode VIII its an unobjective fact. It will be 100% fresh on here. I reccommend not watching the trailers because I wont. Im going into this in the dark. I will not be browsing any Star wars threads next year and might forgo browsing all together until its released, then I will bask in Star Wars glory.
>>68946666
I'm gonna say I hate it just because you fucked up perfectly good quads with that awful post.
>>68946051
the emperor was just a fan as fuck villain, cackling and being evil and all that. snoke just a grimdark le angry cgi monster villain. so boring and gay, fuck you disney and jj abrams you kike
>>68945517
Never. We can't look back. Especially when the past is so shitty. I'm glad we're finished with George. Whatever happens next, I'll always be happy it's done. This forced meme has no power. George is finished with Star Wars and that's a wonderful wonderful feeling.
>>68946748
We really don't know much yet. Sheev was about as charismatic as Snoke in A New Hope.
Not saying they'll change Snoke at all from the first movie, only that the Emperor was at his best from episode VI on.
>>68946841
Not even surprisingly good pit game will change my mind.
>>68945439

>>68945557
It's been canon since fucking phantom menace
>>68945439
But unlike the original trilogy, these new movies are entirely dependent on what came before them to work as a plotline.
Regardless of his personal origin, we HAVE to gain some insight into what Snoke's stake is in replicating the original Empire, otherwise it's going to end on a very confusing and sour note.

>>68945439
Not knowing where the Emperor came from didn't matter, because it wasn't relevant to the story. However, insofar as the sequel trilogy are, well, sequels, Snoke's origins do matter because the gap between RotJ and TFA is a significant and vital one to the story.
We don't need encyclopedic elaboration, but knowing where the fuck Snoke came from and how he got to be where he is is a vital part of Luke, Leia, and Kylo story. Totally ignoring that would be a clumsy and contrived move.
>>68947392

Fuck Obi Wan jerking off in some desert. Only manchild cucks want that

>>68947832
>Totally ignoring that would be a clumsy and contrived move.
because every single thing about TFA wasn't both clumsy and contrived
>>68948149
Good point.
>>68948149
Forcing Finn, a potentially dramatic character considering the gravity of his turnaround, into comic relief was a bad move. It was clear that John Boyega wasn't a comedian or even that funny. His character needed a rewrite.
Wouldn't have hurt to let him keep his natural accent either, as acting is harder when faking one.

He didn't nominate him to office. He started the vote to give him emergency powers (including the sheev spin power), which set him up to attain the similar UNLIMITED POWER.
>>68946518

The goddamn sword dancing, the cheap over-reliance on green screen shot in the director's house, the terrible """"world building"""", the autistic over-explanation of the force and the jedi, the ridiculous "lore" that was added about the rule of 2, virginal birth, turning that popular henchman from the first movie into literal space jesus.

Rian Johnson is rejecting decades of backstory wisdom. Like PROMETHEUS > "where did the space jockey come from??". Like MIDICHLORIANS > "where does The Force come from??" Like THE THING prequel.
When are you idiots going to learn how important explaining irrelevant details can be for Disney's bank account???

...He was born on Naboo and later served as Senator. At some point he became apprentice to Darth Plageuis the Wise, and killed him in his sleep. Then he became Chancellor, then Emperor.
This isn't even EU bullshit, that was literally in the films.
>>68961295
Nobody knew in 1983.
Who is Rian Johbson anyways? Is he a good director?
>>68961482
Besides the horrid understanding of time-travel and rampant plot holes, Looper was actually quite enjoyable.
Because there's no time-travel in Star Wars (yet, anyway), I think he'll do a great job with VIII.
>Nobody knows where the Emperor came from
He came from Naboo, was taught in the Sith ways by Darth Plagueis and eventually became the Senator of Naboo, and we all know where that lead.
Rian Johnson is a hack.
>>68945439

It's one thing to say they will never film his backstory, that is the correct decision, but not even writing it down for yourselves is stupid, it means he's not even a character and your setting lacks integrity. I call it "new cynicism," the new style of blockbuster filmmaking where Hollywood talks about how they know the fans so well they're only going to work on the stuff that directly feeds into making money and people actually applaud it.

The writing benefits because you can further understand you character and their motivations. I guess it doesn't matter if he's just gonna be generic bad guy #2.
This series has been fucking fucking toy commercials since RotJ. At least that commercial still had some memorable moments and resolutions to characters we'd grown to love.
This series is gonna be mediocre going forward. Inoffensive, pleasant and playing on nostalgia. It has nothing else to offer.
