ST ST Criticism Discussion Thread

Boy...that teaser just put everything...and I mean, everything...on the table for the ST.

This could go in a way that's even worse to the legacy of the saga, or possible introduce some elements that will tie things together better.

EDIT: also, you have to hand it to JJ Abrams - he has managed to market both of his SW movies to fans who were disappointed with previous installments

 

What is it? Tell us...quick!! Before the mods kick our butts! Seriously though...

I'll bet my original Darth Vader 80's action figure case that Matt Smith is a cloned Palpatine...30 years have passed right? Sure would look the part.

And what else would be "more controversial, yet delightful" than that?

Ok...I'm done. I look forward to your guys' insights in the coming days.

 

And that's a no...

 

Yeah, the saga came to an end in 1983.

But I'll watch it. Like I'll watch a Marvel that gets a decent amount of must-see buzz. Has a decent baseline Star Wars feel. Didn't care for the []. I also did not care for the []. Both of these things seem to be embedded requirements anymore for anything adjacent to or remotely in competition with Marvel offerings.

As for deserts, this one has vegetation. It is a leaning towards sci-fi to introduce yet another desert planet, for, it is harder statistically to locate habitable planets in a habitable zone where *both the equator and poles experience conditions in the triple point of water, than to find planets where either the equator alone, or poles alone, experience conditions in the triple point of water. Obviously no one needs to be told that it is easy to do practically. There could be advantage if ST would put nearby or even far away planets in the sky like other sci-fi entries. Maybe that's too much work. Anyway, achieving an otherworldly feel using location shooting that is *not in a desert is obviously very difficult. All the UK tax write off revenue-retaining location shooting might as well have gone into another Robin Hood movie. As far as a "set", this desert has more verisimilitude than Jakku.

Is Abrams above going with a clone of the Emperor? No, Abrams is not above going with a clone of the Emperor. One might cogitate and come to a rash conclusion, 'Abrams realized that making a clone of the two death stars was daft and he will not do such a thing again'. This would be a hasty conclusion.

Nice shot of the Falcon. Has more responsibility than prior ST entries. Still do not appreciate the simulated fake NASA documentarian turbulence to the camera. George had a stable camera move and there was no turbulence. There is no air in hyperspace. Or else we'd see ships putting their rag tops down. Or Han flicking some ashes out the window. Do we see that in OT or PT? No. That's because hyperspace doesn't have air molecules to buffet the camera. Abrams.

 

And that's a no...

 

Maybe the new movie is more good than TLJ but i still don't like the direction of the Sequels and for Star Wars in general

The EU always will be my canon in my mind and Disney EU will be an alternative universe for me

 

And that's a no...

 

And that's a no...

Such an interesting and creative way though, to move past the Skywalkers don't you think?...

...by naming the last movie in the Saga "The RISE of Skywalker"

Man oh man I just don't know.

 

No, not at all.

 

Personally, I would like to rename the ST into:

Star Wars: LOL Part I
Star Wars: LOL Part II
Star Wars: LOL Part III

At least that`s honest.

 

And that's a no...

 

Heard and understood!

"He did not know when to stop"

 

I didn't realize officially released trailers are "spoilers." That should probably be made clear in this forum's rules thread.

 

Sometimes wonder if Lucas sold Star Wars out of spite. Maybe to teach us fans a lesson and perhaps, to show us the face of ''true corporate'' Star Wars looks like.

 

Understood but is there a criticism of the trailer/spoilers thread? I only see positive posters...

 

I created a thread over in the IX spoiler forum that the mods will hopefully allow:

Thank you, I really appreciate the support. I tried thinking of a similar saying that's used in the southern USA, but I can't think of anything.


On topic of the ST, about Episode IX trailer....(eats words) Yeah, I'm slightly hyped for the movie again. There was quite a bit of stuff I didn't like in it, but there was also a ton that I did like, and it was successful in getting me a little hyped for it again. I had an open mind before seeing it, but I wasn't expecting to like it, so I was pleasantly surprised. I wonder how long after TLJ the film will be.
