Well I agree with you. Star Wars fans want to revisit this universe often. There's no where else like it.


Of course the more you revisit it the more holes you see. Lucas was no genius. The best film,Empire Strikes Back was the one he had the least to do with.


Modern film/ Disney films are put together by a committee of writers and producers attempting to nail demographics. They're work can't endure critical thinking and are growing worse at causing suspended disbelief. So multiple views are O-U-T.


It's not b/c there's any less talented writers. Hollywood's corporate goons are narrow of vision and for some reason more political minded. They kill good films.

Not only that but he leveraged Lucasfilm's ownership and merchandizing with Fox, which made him hundreds of millions of dollars and eventually made him one of the richest people in the country. Smart.

You're correct. Lucas was in fact a genius and a visionary.


My statement was emotionally driven from resentment over his later decision making.


You were right to call me out.

shall i review TLJ again for you?

Can you wait until October 1?

That thread is going to be ugly, and repetitive. We should make a constructive criticism only rule or something.

Yeah, is there really a point to making the Last Jedi rewatch thread? I know you've done a whole series but it seems like it's just going to be a trainwreck.

Maybe do a Star Wars Holiday Special rewatch instead.

Maybe I'll just start a 15,000 word post today on how much I like TLJ to balance it out

Maybe I've already done my TLJ rewatch and my opinion of it has... evolved...

I'll definitely try to steer that conversation positively as best as I can from the get go, but who knows how successful I'll be.

I think we all know exactly how successful you'll be.



I'm self-banning from posting in that thread. Also not going to watch it again.

1. You should be on TexAgs pay roll

2. Please tell me you don't owe Rian Johnson money

Agreed.

Just peaking my rewatch this week and did TFA last night.

Damn it I love this movie! One of my top 10 of the decade and arguably my favorite theater experience ever.

Honestly outside of the recycled plot, I have no complaints, and it sends me into the new one with a lot of optimism as JJ knows what he's doing.

1. It's GORGEOUS. So many great shots. JJ also knows how to shoot Daisy. She looks amazing the entire film. Impossible not to fall in love with her.

2. All the new characters are great.

3. All the nostalgia is done perfectly. From the introduction of the Falcon, to the old characters appearances and Han's death, just great.

4. The action is top notch.

5. It it magic to me. The anticipation of going in opening night, feeling like a little kid again, and it DELIVERING! I still get chills from the Falcon reveal and the roar that was the crowd opening night. The saber flying to Rey gives me goosebumps.

6. Also JJ understands Star Wars humor. It's subtle, not as slapsticky as Rian does it in Last Jedi.

Last Jedi is on deck tonight, and then 6:00 XD seats to Rise tomorrow night. Let's do this!!!
