ST The Even More Magniloquent New Rumor Intellectual Thread of Seriousness for Sophisticated Discourse

Good observation! April 14 it is. Was RO shareholders reel different from the teaser and/or BTS?

 

How in the name of all that's holy can you denounce the simple line "Who are you?" as predictable and bland, without any context regarding narrative or character?

In Lawrence of Arabia, a man on a motorbike shouts a number of times across a canal to Lawrence, asking: "Who are you?"

Given the identity crisis Lawrence is suffering from in that moment (and really, perpetually as a man that fits in nowhere) it's a compelling line with great character subtext. And when you couple it with the visual language of the scene, it goes from a great line to a classic one.

And yet, based on a tweet, you are already declaring this line from Luke as predictable and bland?

On top of that, if Luke genuinely doesn't know who Rey is at this moment, what should he say?

"I know you not. Name yourself! And quickly. For I am weary of mysteries, and shan't suffer another this day."

 

"who are you" means so many things: who do you believe you are, how do you define your identity, how important is identity to you, how much faith (self-esteem) do you have in yourself, where do you come from, what are you in the depths of your soul, what do you remember, who are you to me, what is your purpose...

the question speaks to the very essence of a person, to a person's idea of themselves, and to how attached they are to that idea.

 

Ah, the Star Wars equivalent of a knock-knock joke!

 

I've cracked the code. Luke was answering rey after she asked what his favourite song was.

For what it's worth, the first line of Hamlet:

"Who's there?"

(It's well known amongst scholars that Hamlet is the most bland and predictable of the Shakespeare canon.)

 

Maybe it's: Whew, our yew?

He's asking if their tree is OK.

 

Luke: Who are you?
Rey: I'm...
Luke: Do or do not. There is no try.
Rey: Wha...that doesn't make any...
Luke: That is why you fail.
Rey: Wait. Are you just repeating Yoda quotes?
Luke: Around the survivors, a perimeter create.
Rey: On second thought, I think I'll keep this.
Luke: Mine!

Skip to 1:45, he confirms Manabyte's breakown. IT SOUNDS SO EPIC!

 

MINE OR I WILL HELP YOU NOT

btw we need MeBeJedi to post now...

 

That last one is great. Just random orders.

 

That is a baffling way to spell Romeo and Juliet, a play that needs to stop being forced on ninth grade English students effective immediately.

 

What do you have against Romeo and Juliet being taught in schools?

 

My english is terrible. What he said that Luke did with the lightsaber? Before of the "who are you?"?. And Finn using FO uniform make sense with MSW spoilers

 

How the hell has this been allowed to be leaked out? If this is indeed footage from a trailer (but I guess it might not be), then how have Disney allowed this reporter to flood twitter with it? If they plan on releasing a teaser soon, everyone, including people who don't like spoilers, will know a bit of to expect. Btw yes this does mean I can see this information flooding fb and news sites in the next few days lol.

 

He says "luke grasps his lightsabre with two hands, goes to a wide shot where luke looks up at rey and then it cuts"

 

Leak out? Its a shareholder meeting where they openly show content for upcoming movies. It's a way to market and keep the investors happy that Disney is producing good content.

They did they same for Rogue One.

 

That was the scene they showed before the collection of clips. It was a tease. Really short.

 

Eh, I'm quite fond of Shakespeare. Hamlet is one of the few things that stayed with me after high school.

 

.

 

Oh, I adore Shakespeare, to the extent that I tried to make a timeline of al his works as of it were a shared universe, mostly out of boredom (partialy for a personal project), and Hamlet is one of my favorite of his plays. I was just throwing shade at R&J, which... I do not like.

 

Shared universe? Gives new meaning to "Shakespeare canon".

 

Another day with intriguing bits of info. It begins... Like others have said, "Who are you" could mean lots of things from deep existential questions to Luke pulling a Yoda of sorts. I recall that line also from the TFA trailer spoken by Maz, though it didn't make it to the movie. I wonder if this the idea was scrapped and moved to TLJ.
