Yea because I’m sure the cgi rendering technology hasn’t gotten better since 2016 nor have they figured out better ways to hide the uncanny valley aspect of the deaging
I never thought Tarkin looked bad in Rogue One. I still don't. It helps that they kept him in mostly dim settings. Leia looked rough, though. Especially the lip syncing. Spoiler Luke was in between but closer to Leia, imo. Really stiff and kinda shiny skin. I didn't complain about the usage in Rogue One or here tho.
Tarkin was jarring at first but the more you saw him the better it was. I’d assume the same would have been for Leia if she would have had more than 5 seconds of screen time
For some reason, I thought Dirt was talking about K-2SO and I was worried we were about to have an issue
Quick question, were you in the Mandalorian series? Have you been in anything other than the failed Sequel trilogy and the garbage Resistance cartoon (lol, 2 seasons)?
I feel like Ive said this a million times itt, but Luke's character arc in TLJ makes all the sense in the galaxy and is good story telling. It was disappointing not to see him be a max power jedi badass but it made sense. All his decisions were well earned (except the dorky shoulder dust off). TFA was a good movie. TLJ was a good movie. They were awful together as a story telling arc. And TROS was really yuck bad no good awful
I’ll agree with this but go on to say that TFA and TLJ could have worked together as a story arc if they weren’t let down by episode 9.
if I was going to complain about Luke’s character in the TLJ I would say that him being destroyed by Ben’s turn and basically the destruction of his life’s work to the point that he wanted to completely remove himself from his former way of life didn’t really jive with his joking, nonchalant demeanor on the island. but I’m not going to complain about TLJ.
I thought TLJ sucked. I re-watched it thinking maybe I was too hard on it on my first viewing, nope, still sucks.
Then do it during rise of Skywalker. They gave us 13 min of depressed Luke and 3 min of badass Luke. We needed much more.
The series ends with No doubt. Episode 9 was JJ saying "here's my sequel to TFA, and my sequel to that, smashed together in such a clunky and rushed way that nothing makes sense and most of it is stupid if you think about it for more than a second so we'll just go really fast through the whole thing." It's him saying that.
I hate Tom hanks character in castaway joking around with that fucking volleyball. Ruins the movie for me
I mean yoda was by himself on a jungle planet for 20 years. Probably made him a little socially awkward Also didn’t one of the force unleashed games go into how the dark side energy from the force cave would make any normal force user go crazy if they were around it for awhile but yoda would just chill near it all the time or something?
I saw TROS in the theater at release and have not watched it a second time. I will probably keep it that way.
*sigh* Luke acts like an obnoxious dick on purpose. He's trying to shatter the myth that Rey had in her head about "Luke Skywalker, the legend." He wants her to leave in disgust so he can continue to sulk and die alone. This isn't some hot take or a shocking discovery after twenty viewings. This is literally the obvious thing being done in the movie and is evident as early as the second watch. And I get it: Fans wanted to see the Luke they read about in the EU. They wanted action figure Luke. Sorry you got a plot and a story, instead. Happy Festivus.
He also does the shoulder brush to continue to aggravate Kylo and get him to come out and fight and buy more time. I don’t get why people have a problem with that one. It’s why I struggle with that movie. I think it’s an interesting portrayal...but it’s not what I wanted or want now. Still wish it was a what if story.
I maintain that if JJ, et al, had even tried to wrap up the story that was continued in TLJ, the way ROTJ brought closure to ANH and ESB, the complaints would be near-zero right now. There would always be those who disagreed with various story decisions in TLJ but had EP9 tried to bring the series to a logical conclusion based on where things were left in TLJ, we'd all be a lot less divided over the sequel trilogy as a whole. Empire wasn't planned when Star Wars 77 was made, nor was ROTJ planned when Empire was being made. All you got in Empire were hanging threads, a few seeds for possible future plots, and unfinished plot points left to be resolved in the next movie(s). That's what TLJ left you with. Return of the Jedi didn’t say “nevermind Luke, Vader isn’t your father; he’s actually the long lost son of General Grabblehorn, a new villain that we have to meet, get to know, be betrayed by, chase down, and defeat, all in the final forty-five minutes. Don’t worry about Vader anymore; he no longer matters.” That would be stupid. No one would accept that. It isn’t good storytelling. When you sign on to do a “part three of three” you have to work within the limitations of the trilogy: What came before has to be respected and used to provide a conclusion that makes sense. The Rise of Skywalker didn’t do that. Whether it’s because JJ is a crappy storyteller, or didn’t know what to do with the answers Rian Johnson gave to his open-ended questions in TFA, or just that JJ didn’t care and wanted TROS to be both his sequel to TFA and his sequel to his sequel, it doesn’t matter: The movie fails as the ending of a trilogy. Sorry to reopen the wound. It's Festivus.
