Either due to "risks" or they want to be the next big "cinematic universe"

I don't even know what Batman the current Batman is. Is it the Batman from Nolan movies or is it Batman from some other thing?

Who is even the Joker at this point? Is it Heath Ledger, Jarred Leto, or Joaquin Phoenix

In a way, we are all the grandkids of Sheev Palpatine

it took me a moment to process meant "rise of skywalker" and not Ross from friends and they didn't have that actor writing the movies

Mostly turned my brain off and enjoyed the ride rewatching TRoS today, but still, Palpatine fucked.

And turning my brain back on and yeah, the same ol' problems were present again.

A buddy asked me whether Rey was all-the-way dead before Kylo revived her, and if so, why her body didn't disappear before he could do that

And I'm like dude, it's a good question but this is not a movie that holds up to questions very well

From a thematic/emotional POV the scene makes sense and that's what matters, we're not exactly in hard SF territory, but I can't help thinking about the person tasked to write the novelization and how many fixes they'll need to do to make this all work on paper.

"And then Rey thought 'oh shit, Ben Solo's grave stone might say he never scored' and Rey made out with him." - Some author Disney hired for the novelization

remember when disney was scared so shitless by the blowback from TLJ they fired rian johnson from running the second sequel trilogy and hired the game of throne guys to do it instead.

then fired the game of thrones guys after disney was scared so shitless by the blowback from game of thrones.

lol

IIRC the current Batman film in production stars Robert Pattinson. He's a great actor and all, but yeah, it's just impossible to keep track of who is playing the character nowadays. RIP Ben Affleck, got stuck with two shit Zack Snyder movies and canned immediately.

they should make every batman movie have a different actor

just commit to it

Angel Beat · Post by **Angel Beat** (?) » Sat Dec 28, 2019 5:04 pm

Every Batman is a different Gotham citizen using Bruce Wayne's stuff.

Sometimes the villains are Batman.

The goal of Jupiter Ascending was to be exactly this. But I didn’t watch it. Did anybody?

I watched it.

I think it could've pulled off its big dumb space vampire dog bee romance if the main character didn't stumble ass-backwards into the same exact problems three times in a row.

Something tells me Disney isn't making anything but Marvel and Disney live action remakes for a while.

destroy disney imo

Fontra · Post by **Fontra** (?) » Sat Dec 28, 2019 5:48 pm

Btw Disney soft-canonized KOTOR games. Apparently the red stormtrooper sections were named after Sith lords. One of them was Revan. Don't think Traya was confirmed unfortunately though.

Really at this point all I want are Kreia and Kyle Katarn canonized somehow. Though Kyle is harder thanks to Rogue One.

Because it made my boy Kyle not the one to canonically retrieve the Death Star plans

Which he lives through. Those fuckin losers in Rogue One all died hahahahaha

Angel Beat · Post by **Angel Beat** (?) » Sat Dec 28, 2019 5:55 pm

Revan was also supposed to be in the 3D animated Clone Wars series near the end, but they cut him out.

That series got canonized too.

JJ Abrams is a hack, but I don't think he gets all the blame cuz Disney had no fn clue how to handle this

!saak · Post by **!saak** (?) » Sun Dec 29, 2019 9:05 am

I guess it made TLJ retroactively better but the whole sequel trilogy as a whole worse?

Or that time they fired James Gunn from directing the third Guardians of the Galaxy movie because of some ancient tweet he'd made as a joke that someone else dug up and reposted, and all the rest of the cast and crew went on strike to protest it until Disney walked it back and rehired him?

Disney: "BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING THAT MIGHT JEOPARDIZE OUR PROFITS!"

Maybe we’ll get a live action remake of Rise of Skywalker

that’d be neat

Orange Fluffy Sheep · Post by **Orange Fluffy Sheep** (?) » Sun Dec 29, 2019 12:19 pm

Addressing fan complaints instead of telling a story and overexplaining details for the benefit of fan wiki editors instead of making a good movie is how we got rise of skywalker in the first place

Angel Beat · Post by **Angel Beat** (?) » Sun Dec 29, 2019 12:33 pm

also please stop almost immediately firing those chekhov's guns

what, someone has a very convenient first order captain's medallion? let's use it after only a few minutes instead of letting that information simmer away into the background for a while
unrelated
please let everyone (including the audience) think that chewie is dead for a while before revealing he's alive, keep us all in suspense, rather than showing him alive almost immediately

A buddy just said the film should’ve ended with Rey being asked her last name and answering “Murphy”

Fontra · Post by **Fontra** (?) » Sun Dec 29, 2019 2:50 pm

Well on a positive note, I saw the final episode of Mandalorian Season 1 and it was kickin rad. Also playing through Jedi Fallen Order and wow, a decent Star Wars game. Haven't seen one of those in almost ten years now.

Fontra · Post by **Fontra** (?) » Sun Dec 29, 2019 2:53 pm

Fallen Order has an okay story and pretty decent cast, all things considered. Not as good as Dark Forces/Jedi Knight cast and DEFINITELY not as good as KOTOR 1&2 cast, but all around decent. One funny thing to point out is that this is the second guy who played a version of The Joker to also play a Jedi protagonist in Star Wars.
