RussTCB Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Clicked on the spoiler thread by accident. Thankfully nothing in there wasn't hidden yet. I'm going to see this thing at 4am on Friday and I'm very much hoping to not have anything spoiled prior to that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I also accidentally stumbled upon one major spoiler from reddit, but then I heard later that the redditor who made that post has since said that he was just joking, so I'm back to not really knowing what to expect...hopefully it stays that way for the next few days.

What a bummer! I hope anything you've both heard is false. I spoiled the last one for myself just days out and I felt like an idiot. Yeah, you could see the major one coming but I still shouldn't have found out for sure ahead of time. What's worse for me is that I have a REALLY light work schedule for the rest of the week, so I can't even rely on that to keep me occupied lol. Guess I should just play a shit ton more video games and hope to not click on anything on the internet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I hate the prequels yet the only prequel worse than Force Awakens is the second one which tells you how bad Force Awakens is. What is the purpose of bringing the original posse back only to reduce them to about three seconds, killing Han Solo off and dumping Luke on some barren rock in Ireland? Why is it such a lazy film, with rebooted ideas like death star which you have to destroy by flying into the middle (of), and the empire in all but name, replete with stormtroopers and tie-fighters? Say what you want about the prequels but at last the ideas were original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) I don't really get Star Wars tbh. I think I saw Return Of The Jedi once and fell asleep in the cinema. It just all looks a bit crappy to me, R2D2 and C3PO look like something you would find in a crappy low budget science fiction play above a bowling alley in the 70s. It's just all so... naff. I just watch clips and can't believe grown-ass adults take this shit seriously. I thought it looked dorky even when I was a kid.

Georgy Zhukov Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Disney is closing in on buying 20th Century Fox, which means we could get the unaltered original films on Blu Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 On 12/10/2017 at 5:55 AM, rocknroll41 said: Yeah I hate to say it but they're making these films way too fast. The original Star Wars took like five years to develop and each of the two sequels took three years. Same for the prequel trilogy (phantom took five years and the others took three). I guess the first installments of each trilogy needed more time so thag Lucas and co could figure out where the world was at in each of those timeframes, so to speak. But once episode 7 was announced, they had to move fast. The public anticipation was just way too high...maybe they should've given Ardnt all the time he needed to write a solid draft secretly before even announcing the film's existence. Idk if the big wigs at disney wouldve wanted that, though. I'm not really sure how those sorts of movie politics really work. But I do know that Ardnt was already outlining episode 7 before the disney deal closed. they should've waited for him to have a solid draft in the can before closing the deal. I also know that lucas gave them his own outlines during that time but those were probably thrown out right away and the public only found out about it later. To be fair, the technology wasn't there in the 1970's and the 1990's. And they didn't really take the time to write a good script for either films. A New Hope has the better script and the expoision was saved from cheesiness when they hired Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan. Liam Neeson did his best for Phantom Menace, but the real star of PM was the special effects. Plus the script was just awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said - it was fairly obvious even in the spoiler free reviews that TFA was a safe film, there was nothing to indicate it was pushing any boundaries in the saga. With TLJ, nearly everyone is specifically mentioning the twists in the film - that's whats got me really excited personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any real spoilers but I'm pretty sure I already know the twist. We'll see in a couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Seeing it this Friday. Can't contain my erection. Cops let me off because I told them I am seeing Star Wars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Wasn't a fan of TFA. Rogue One was a bit better. I have high hopes for this one. According to the reviews this one's not playing it too safe, which is exactly what I needed to hear to get excited. Hopefully the reviews are right and not something that Disney paid them to say.

Amir Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Pretty good. Preferred it to TFA, which I wasn’t that big a fan of. Rian Johnson has a much better eye than Abrams, knows how to compose a frame. ESB ANH TLJ ROTJ not fussed about the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
