Easy to explain. Disney buys the rights. Their plan is to release one film per year. Story compromised.
What a weird fucking movie. And what was that bizarre shit with Leia in space? That was the “nuke the fridge” moment of this series.
I think thats where its headed otherwise its going to be incredibly predictable. Rey I am your brother its true...hes not
Yeah Snoke was supposed to be an all power and ancient and shit and then goes down like that. We don't even find out who exactly he is or what his motives are...I was waiting for a Snoke\Luke showdown
Funny. They are going to have to figure something out. Minus two main characters in snoke and luke to build the story around...leia will be gone at the beginning of 9...lot of empty space. Johnson sure left a shit pile for the next director.
I'm curious if there will be a massive time leap in the next movie... it would make the most sense if they want to get Leia out easy and fast, and build backstory on how the resistance is building a guerilla warfare army or something... cause they pose no threat to the First Order and frankly, Rey stands no chance against Kylo.. the only thing holding him back from killing her is his love and obsession for her.
I was told, by a HUGE Star Wars nerd, that that is one of the things she does in the canon. I think that was a nod to the uber nerds whose life revolves around this shit (and argue about parsacs being a measure of distance vs time).
Redlettermedia needs to hurry up and get their review out so I can get what my opinion on this movie is going to be.
As most of you know, I watched all 8 movies in a row at a movie theater in Times Square. 2 & 3 both seemed better than I remembered. I liked 8 because it was the one new movie. It's biggest weakness (it ends like 6 times), is its strength. So many twists and turns. Every movie has a moment that defines it. This one is Kylo shooting the crap out of Luke and then Luke stepping forward untouched. I didn't see him as a hologram like one mentioned in this thread. He simply "reached out with his feelings."
Funny that the critics LOVED this movie and the audiences haven't. I wonder if it will get a Best Picture nomination.
Whenever the "holo luke" showed up, I instantly wondered why it is he shaved and died his hair. And looked more like Chuck Norris than Mark Hamil.
The way that they built up snoke... only to have him cut down like a weak little bitch... The way that they built up Luke..... only to have him just.... fade out. The weird shitty part on the casino planet. Just poor writing. Not a great storyline. I have no idea what JJ Abrams is going to do in the next movie because they tore down everything he did in Ep 7.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! LOVE! Crystal dogs?!? CRYSTAL MOTHERFUCKING DOGS! OH YEAH! Finally there are dogs in the Star Wars universe! This was our Lando Calrissian moment!
