First off, it means George R. R. Martin can't supervise it at all

Imagine applying for a job that hundreds of others are applying for and you have to give an answer to why a manager should hire you instead of the 1,000 other people wanting the same job .

This seems fair. They wouldn't be released if there was sufficient evidence available.

Their semen was on her clothes, and the nurse who deals with that kind of stuff all the time, testified that the damage done to her was especially gruesome.

This is a criminal investigation. I don't see the relevance of a nurse's input.

yeah the biggest problem is half the plot happens because Holdo doest share her plan with one of her main fighters... which doesn't make any sense.

That's false. Finn and Rose brought back the traitor whose treachery set up the final act on the abandoned rebel base. Had Poe not mutinied and orchestrated that subplot, everyone would have lived. It was a subversion of another space opera trope. Unfortunately, Poe didn't show any guilt IIRC.

Had Leia's replacement not been a complete and total bitch, REPEATEDLY refusing to even acknowledge that she even had a plan, all the while shitting all over an established hero of the rebellion, Poe wouldn't have revolted. He didn't show guilt because he did what was right with the information he had.

Girl power > decades of training with a Jedi master

I'm just annoyed that it isn't Finn and Rey.

If the leads are a man and a woman, they'll be lovers 4 out of 5 times. But if the male lead is black, that's when the male lead is just a friend or has a minority love interest. Disney does have a black male / white female couple with Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, so I can't act like they've never done it, but I think Rey and Finn had a legit chemistry together and would've made for a good couple.

The EU is still better then the shit show that is the ST.

the ambulance is never "free", you are paying for it through taxes

1) was there even any gun fights with the Storm Troppers? i saw none

They were firing at BB8 when he saved the day in an ATST iirc

@3khc

Well before disney the rumor was that the original plan for the sequel trilogy was that Luke would have an established school, there are three expys of Jacen, Jania, and Ben who would be the new heroes, the introduction of a new enemy, the old heroes helping the youngsters but still going out to fight, the mandalorians either being the main enemy or some other faction, etc.

Mostly based on EU material but still a very good premise for the ST where the ROTJ victory actually mattered. Remnants of the empire are still a threat, and Thrawn would have been there as a big bad.

Han and Leia were also still in there as a couple, Lando was present helping the kids travel as was Chewbacca, Lowbacca was also going to be there as a wookie jedi which was something many fans wanted to see on the big screen.

The ST planned was so much better and more interesting, instead we have gotten this recycled bastadization that picks and choses random EU things to go with but fuck up.

ambulance is free in australia, as it should be
why the FUCK do you have to pay for it in america?

^ Horse shit.

Star Wars has always been very good at explaining the technology and being based in science.

what? i don't get your post, i read another article where it said it doesn't really explain why if snoke is dead why they still have that connection

I liked how Kylo just grabbed Hux by the balls and told him he was in charge, when in the OT Vader was basically Tarkin's bitch.

Because Rian Johnson like the character, and the writers weren't good enough to come up with a better way to get rid of him. The script was horseshit, and every scene with Snoke in the previous film was basically a waste of time.

Kylo wanted to bone Rey more than he wanted to be Snoke's lackey.

Did any of you think that rey and kylo were gonna turn out to be brother and sister?

You're right, that sounds horrible. Money plz

I found the shirtless kylomoment weird and out of place, but hilarious

Wait, so Han *and* Luke are dead now?

Ugh, this is why I haven't bothered to see the new trilogy yet, my biggest fear is that it would just be an excuse to get rid of characters I loved while replacing them with nobody worthwhile as I've heard absolutely nothing about Rey or Kylo that makes me want to watch them in action. (Quite the opposite actually, they come off as the worst parts of both movies.)

I guess I'll just be skipping the new trilogy, it doesn't seem like there's anything in it for me to look forward to.

Are you sure you're not confusing Leia and Han with Leia and Luke? Luke maintains full faith in the resistance and in his place as a jedi all the way through. It's Han who consistently questions the merits of everything.

Surely that has nothing to do with them being supremely powerful sith lords, right? They aren't spineless, they know his power. And no, Luke's ark was fantastic. He saw the failure in himself and the dangers it created. He saw the history of the Jedi order. It made sense, and he had good growth in the movie.

Agree to disagree, then. I don't see Luke turning down on a request to help his sister as "fantastic". I saw it as a violation of everything that Luke stood for. He wasn't "Luke", he was a bitter old man used as a vehicle to make a point about the Jedi Order for the audience.

But that's the whole point. Leia and Luke are established as opposites very early in the franchise, and this film shows that Leia will never lose hope, so it makes sense that Luke has.

from what I can remember Rey kills Snoke, Rey's parents are apparently normal people, and Leia lives while Luke dies

What did he spoil? I'll tell you how important the spoilers are?

it was Izaul, so pretty much everything major in the topic title

OctilIery posted...

I already said I didn't like flying leia. Luke didn't undo everything the rebellion worked for, he made a mistake, and had a good arc of coming to terms with it in the movie. Luke was honestly one of the best parts. Also, when did they have "any old leader" become supreme leader? And yes, the ending was good. It showed the Jedi aren't done. It reinforced the idea from the original trilogy that any old nobody could be a hero, and that there was still hope in the galaxy.

I meant specifically with Luke losing hope, abandoning the force, and becoming a bitter hermit that has no desire to go help his friends. I'm fine with his mistake happening. Also, it's not that Luke undid everything the rebellion worked for, but the plot did. By the end of the movie, the rebellion has the fewest surviving members, the fewest resources, the fewest allies, and is in the worst condition its ever been in. It makes the entire OG trilogy fight worthless. By "any old leader" I mean the fact that when Snoke dies, Kylo just sort of says "I'm the leader now" and the ENTIRE FIRST ORDER seems just fine with that. It makes the whole group seem way too spineless that not a single person said "hey, these assholes keep getting us killed, I'm not following some random kid that Snoke liked."

I really wanted to see it, but that one butt munch spoiled it.

whenever I'm spoiled, I lose all anticipation for something.

I dunno. Ill sometimes spoil things for myself.

Should I see Rogue One before seeing this?

I disliked that it shit all over everything the original trilogy stood for.

It really didn't though.

You honestly think that what they did to Luke fits the character we saw grow over the original trilogy? You think completely undoing everything the rebellion had worked for so the next movie can redo the "small group against impossible odds" story is a good thing? You think that making the empire such that any old asshole can just sit in a chair and suddenly become supreme leader is reasonable? You think ending on a tease that's effectively "hey, remember episode 1?" was good service to the series? You liked Leia flying?

I disliked that it shit all over everything the original trilogy stood for.

Saw it last night, aside from cool scenes I thought it was really boring

It won't matter. I'm sure the courts have been paid off too. This government doesn't work for the average citizen anymore.

That just sounds like bad taste.

So does your Spielberg claim.

i read a lot of the Tintin books when i was younger and would borrow them from the local library, and i liked them very much, but i never got around to seeing the movie. i heard it wasn't that good tbh.

Loved that movie, really solid animation and fun story.

We're talking about the CGI one from a couple years ago, right?

OctilIery posted...

You need to watch it again. It was legitimately fantastic, one of the best modern Spielberg movies.

None of that is true.

Like when I watched Tintin I didnt think it was a bad or mediocre movie. I straight up despised it.

It was a really bad movie from what I recall, but I only saw it the once and don't remember enough to argue the point.

NN isn't based upon what the public wants. It's based on whether the FCC made proper use of its powers.

@OctilIery even if your case applies instead of Chevron, you'd have a hell of a time proving in court that Ajit et al. acted arbitrarily.
