Or hordes of weird water aliens fighting said CGI robots while two dudes fight another dude in a power reactor... Or hordes of small furry things that would likely be CGI if done today fighting said dudes in armor while two dudes face off on a space station... Or hordes of tall furry things that face off against CGI hordes of armored dudes while another dude kills a lot of little dudes... Nope... not in Star Wars. Fair point although they still had villains with goals at least. Guess you could argue the prequel films did inspire marvel for that type of third act.

A True Kaniggit Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I hope we get Obi-Wan’s connection to Rey in the next movie. I can’t believe they would have that during the flashback in The Force Awakens for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't there for no reason, it was there because he believes that asking the audience a question creates emotional investment that does not need to be answered. That's not me being snarky, either. That's how he described one of his tenants of film making. ETA: People who say J.J. is a bad director are wrong. The man can shoot the fuck out of a movie. He's an abysmal writer.

Davrum Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Anyone else doing a 1-episode-per-day Clone Wars rewatch leading up to Feb 2020 when Season 7 is finally released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's an absymal writer either. I just think that you have to recognize he's not a writer particularly concerned with or able to execute satisfying payoff, like Stephen King. But he is very good at coming up with very cool ideas and translating them into evocative and interesting scenes. At this point, going into a JJ Abrams movie and expecting satisfying answers to mysteries means you're probably going to have a bad time. This is also why I was completely cool with Johnson throwing out many of the mysteries from TFA. Like Rey's parents: there was no way this was ever going to have a satisfying answer. So I do like the idea of just saying "her parents were unimportant, focus on the individual and not what dynasty they belong to." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to get Disney+? How much longer will CW be available on Netlfix? I plan doing a strong binge re-watch later this year, I can't stick to just 1 ep per day.

I'm doing my Clone Wars 1-episode-per-day re-watch using my brother's blu-rays though, it's not on Netflix anymore. In the past I've done multiple eps per day and it was fun in that pig-out kind of way, but what I've found so far on this 1-per-day mission is I get so much more out of each episode when I leave some breathing space between them, especially supplementing them with a good, thoughtful podcast, like Jaig Eyes and Jedis.

Corvinus85 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The Mandalorian's episode schedule has been released. https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a29517980/star-wars-the-mandalorian-air-dates-disney/ Also, as an Amazon Fire TV user, I might miss out.

I use Rokus on my older TVs and the Samsung in my office just downloads all the apps directly onto a ribbon. The only problem I ever had was that my basement TV is a Sony smart TV with the PS4 hooked up to it and my DirectTV Now wasn’t available to download through Sony’s store.

(I could probably still sign up on my PC) Clever schedule, dropping eps 1 & 2 within less than a week to push early momentum. Also avoiding Dec 20, the U.S. release of Ep IX. Several media were shown about 27 minutes worth of footage a couple of days ago by the way, and - while you always have to take these early hype generators with a big old grain of Crait salt - word seems to be hugely positive.
