It's nuts to already be talking about Star Wars: Episode VIII before The Force Awakens even opens up this coming December. Times, they are a changing.

Hayden Christensen Rumored For Star Wars 8 (http://news.yahoo.com/hayden-christensen-rumoured-for-star-wars-8-114220042.html)


Please don't let this be true. In the words of Han Solo...."I have a bad feeling about this".

'Star Wars: Episode VIII' Pushed Back to December 2017 (https://www.yahoo.com/movies/star-wars-episode-viii-pushed-back-to-december-195824375.html)



I'm very surprised to hear they are actually doing this given the amount of momentum generated with The Force Awakens. Also heard that are doing a major re-write. NO SPOILERS! Don't mention or talk about what re-write may be about. Thanks.

Don't forget that the last movie was pushed back, it was supposed to come out in summer too.

The movie takes as long as it takes.  Or, if you like, "A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever."

I'm not worried, I'm not even surprised.

Edit: Watching that.  Love it, very entertaining.  And it's weird to hear him say the names Finn, Poe, and "REY!?"

And here's some more!

Star Wars Episode 8 The Last Jedi Official Title Reveal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0Jh5A6PUD4

We finally have an official title. I do like the title, but it seems it would be more appropriate for Episode 9. But with them naming this one The Last Jedi, I wouldn't be surprised if Episode 9 was something like The Jedi Reborn or something of that nature. Yeah, it's cheesy, but you get what I mean. And if you want super cheesy, be on the lookout for them naming is The Jedi Lives.  ;) But my pick would be Jedi Mind Trick: Electric Boogaloo.  ;D

Twitter realized that the “Star Wars” movie titles form a sentence, and properly freaked out (https://www.yahoo.com/news/twitter-realized-star-wars-movie-231359605.html)


This is actually pretty clever. I wish I had noticed this on my own.

Definitely a Teaser. It shows what it wants and leaves you wanting a whole lot MORE! Ugh! Beggars can't be choosers. I'll take whatever I can get here.

I went back and watched it again....and then again after that...and....

Anyway, I just realize that they are continuing the trend set in The Force Awakens. We STILL don't have a clear shot of Luke in the Trailer! Sure, we get the back of his head on one shot and a silhouetted Skywalker in the doorway....but STILL no clear shot! WTF!

Psychedy psychedy.  Very curious about those flying car dealies, or why the girl from Gortimer Gibbons is in the First Order.

Okay, I'm doing a great job of avoiding spoilers (so far), but all I'm seeing are headlines that this movie absolutely sucks. I see that there is a petition to remove The Last Jedi from Star Wars Canon and even more shocking is hearing that Mark Hamill himself is slamming his own performance and saying it's "not my Luke Skywalker". Seriously, what the f*ck is going on. Without divulging any plot points or spoilers about The Last Jedi, is this movie really that bad? This is all so unnerving.
Title: Re: Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi (2016)
Post by: Neumatic on December 23, 2017, 06:39:39 am
I'm seeing it tonight.

I don't know if it's bad, but a lot of people are upset because it really changes the status quo.  It's more about the content than the presentation, I've actually heard really great things about it, and I think this is just fanboy purists bitching and whining (the same ones who had issue with a black Stormtrooper, or hate Rey on principle).

You want to know why you're seeing headlines?  Cause those grab readers.  There's a limited lifespan of "That movie was great, right?" (and a while before "let's talk about this under-appreciated gem" which a Star Wars movie can never be), but bitching and moaning about something-- especially something that has such a big fanbase-- guarantees clicks and guarantees ad revenue.

Yeah, I get that...but when you have Mark literally bashing the movie, or more specifically how Luke comes across (a dis at the Director and / or Film Editor), there is legitimate concern here. Anyway, when you get back from the movie tonight, let me know if people are blowing this out of proportion. No Spoilers of course. Just a simple yes or no will suffice. Once I see the flick for myself, we can have a more in depth discussion like always.
Title: Re: Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi (2016)
Post by: Neumatic on December 23, 2017, 09:34:42 pm
I can get why Mark might have an issue with what Luke did... it certainly seems out of character, but it's also the end result of a LOT that we don't see.  But it's right for the movie, and I think it is in tune with the character and how he's not pure.  He has issues, for sure, he's a main character in the movie and he works them out.

I'll say more in the spoilers thread, but watch this movie.  Especially on the big screen (I saw it in what I think was 2:1 IMAX, it looks amazing on that).

It's polarizing, and I'll say it's not perfect, but it swings big.

Some of the complaints, now that I read them, are exactly what I thought.  One dude complaining about SJWs, I just wanna say "b*tch, they're the REBELLION, they're fighting to bring peace, freedom and equality to the universe.  They are LITERALLY warriors for social justice.  Did you not notice that until now?"

I also have to say that since I avoided spoilers or fan theories and so on, I enjoyed it more... and I think you were the same, no knowledge is good knowledge in this case.  I can see a lot of people having issue because the movie they made up in their head was so off the mark.  Ironically, though I didn't have fan theories, I had a wishlist of things I wanted to see and the last couple movies have been knocking all the stuff off in ways I hadn't expected.

It's also worth pointing out what the fan reactions to The Empire Strikes Back were like (http://www.acriticalhit.com/fans-react-empire-strikes-back-1980/) when that movie came out.
