Gaston de Foix Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 Luke's defeatism seems to be so out of character for him. There had better be a really compelling reason for Emo-Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has loved Skellig Michael his entire life, due to his visits with a church group as a boy. He told me about the Star Wars filming far before the movie, as it had a lot of local nerds really excited, apparently. So seeing the movie made these photos he showed me beforehand come to life! It made it even cooler to think about Luke and the Porgs up there, rather than some grouchy groundsmen glaring at shivering kids. He was far more proud of his favorite local landmark being made into a damn Jedi Fortress than actually having interest in anything else about the The Last Jedi. Can't blame him. That place looks otherworldly, that's for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 7 hours ago, Gaston de Foix said: But I also feel like they may have balked at Harrison Ford's salary demands and decided to kill him off. Can't trust the suits. Ford is rather famously grumpy about Star Wars, which he doesn't seem very fond of (especially as compared to Indiana Jones). He wanted to be killed off in Return of the Jedi, and basically made a requirement for his return (besides an obligatory oodle of cash) in The Force Awakens that he definitely be killed off for good.

Werthead Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Kennedy has made some bad choices - not having an overall vision for the sequel trilogy - but she's made some pretty good ones. We got The Mandalorian, Rogue One and Rebels under her watch, which have all been excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That place looks otherworldly, that's for certain. A large reason for us getting around to watching TFA was the number of locations it used that we know well. Skellig, but also Greenham Common air base (the Rebel base) and Borrowdale in the Lake District (Maz's cantina). What is not to like about X-wings skimming over the surface of Derwent Water?

For the second, I actually long, occasionally, for the innocent zaniness that was the early days of Alias...it's almost as if he's sorta okay on the start of television ideas without being able to follow through...so yeah, I guess hack works...

It seems like it would be so simple to just have a basic outline and then let good writers fill in the surroundings... It amazes me that executives who make more than I ever could and understand more of the industry than I ever will somehow missed on this simple concept.

Raja Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Nah, I was mostly happy with TFA and very pleased with TLJ - Kennedy and team made one solid if not *slightly* derivative TFA and TLJ to me was very very good. It's a shame what happened to TROS, clearly they were crunched for time & hiring Terrio was also questionable. They should have pushed it back but I guess that's hard to do at a place like Disney.
