After my wife’s response to the last season of GoT I’m happy Netflix are taking them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wideload90 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I'm currently watching the Last Jedi and feel incredibly underwhelmed. I'm going in on Friday with low expectations and hate that I feel like this about my favourite franchise. At least the Mandalorian holds up... Â @johnnyboy anything exciting in TV spots that you can spoilertag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â @johnnyboy anything exciting in TV spots that you can spoilertag? I honestly feel TLJ gets better on each watch but I remember walking out of it the first time quite angry. The casino bit is still a bit of a drag but I think the overall film is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wideload90 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I think for me, it didn't flow well from what was established in episode 7 and doesn't feel very star wars at times. That, peppered with so many unanswered questions make it hard to invest in. It's a good film but weak compared to episodes 4-7. (I don't count the prequels) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted December 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 15, 2019 The Last Jedi is a mix of some of the best Star Wars stuff and some of the worst. All the Luke/Rey/Kylo bits are some of the best Star Wars has ever been. However everything with Finn/Rose/Poe is pretty fucking bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I liked the Finn/Rose stuff (even the casino) until the "love trumps hate" bit, I choked on my drink at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wideload90 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 There's so much in TLJ that doesn't actually lead to anything but I do agree that the Luke and Kylo scenes were some of the best Star Wars has to offer. The ROS TV spots are enough to wet your appetite and I'm more excited than previously thought. Roll on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 My only issue with the TLJ was that it felt out of place in the middle of a trilogy. That's probably more to do with my own expectations of a trilogy. As has been said, it's some of the best Star Wars and every single one of the films have their gash bits anyway. Anyone who feel entitled enough to get angry because a film isn't what they personally wanted need to calm down and have a wank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted December 15, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 15, 2019 I’ve been avoiding most of the TV spots for TROS. I know they won’t give much away but currently, I don’t really have any idea what’s going to happen in the film and I quite like that feeling. I did rewatch TLJ last week. It’s not my favourite but there’s some amazing stuff in there. I’d maybe recommend watching Return Of The Jedi in anticipation instead - I did this yesterday to get an Emperor fix (just in case he’s actually back in the new one). I love ROTJ anyway but it was fascinating how well it works as a companion to Last Jedi. There’s a moment where the Emperor tries to make Luke strike him down where he sits to complete a turn to the dark side. Luke apparently goes to do it but Vader stops him (either to protect the Emperor or to save his son from turning depending on your interpretation). It’s a pretty clear echo of Kylo Ren and Snoke in TLJ - except Ren has nobody to play that Vader role and stop him. He does strike the big bad where he sits, and does go fully dark, where Luke didn’t. There’s also a moment during the Luke/Vader fight where Vader is down, Luke is standing over him and there’s this look of hatred/anger/disappointment on his face and he looks like he’s about to kill him. It very clearly mirrors Luke and Ben Solo in the academy. Both times Luke holds back but it shows that the twats who say TLJ Luke wasn’t Luke Skywalker are wrong. Finally there’s a whole lot of Palpatine saying he foresees things. WHAT HAS HE FORESEEN IN THE RISE OF SKYWALKER ONLY FOUR DAYS UNTIL I FIND OUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted December 15, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 15, 2019 Yes - midnighting Rise of Skywalker. Our local independent cinema always does a Star Wars quiz the night before a new Star Wars film is out and we’re reigning and defending champions so aiming to retain our title before the film. I’ve booked Thursday off so if I can fit in an afternoon screening the following day I will do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Did the clips exclusive to Fortnite give much away? I wasn't about to play with 11 year olds to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing really apart from a mind trick from Rey. Apart from that much of nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suicide lightspeed silent shot, and this  Also I agree, Luke Skywalker was fine in TLJ. He used to be a whiny kid, he became a whiny man. I think people thought of him more as some plucky hero, but he’s not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
