It's a good first episode in what was planned to be a longer story. The main plot itself isn't anywhere near as grand as past Deus Ex games, but it sets up good, strong arcs which unfortunately will never pay off because Square has all but abandoned the series.

Gameplay is on par with Human Revolution. Environments are even more detailed than before, there are more optional modes to fill time, and the sidequests are top-quality stuff. The campaign is short if you play an agressive, pure-FPS style. If you focus on stealth and exploration then the game will last you dozens of hours.

I would recommend it if this is a world you want to immerse yourself in. But only if you can accept the disappointing feeling at the end... that the story is restrained and unfinished.

It really does narrow the endgame down.

Hux has been relegated to comic relief and isn't intimidating.
The Knights of Ren could be Kylo's version of the Praetorian Guard, but they're ultimately just henchmen. Could have some awesome fight scenes but no real weight in the story.
Snoke ain't coming back after what happened. That was explicit.
Phasma was fearsome in TLJ and could be brought back for Episode 9. I think that Rian meant for her death to be definitive, but I'd be on board for her surviving off-screen again. Still, she's got Boba Fett significance at most.

Kylo's the end boss, no question about it.

TFA sets up mysteries and invites the audience to ask questions. TLJ disregards TFA's setup and makes you feel like a chump for investing in it.

I don't expect my personal Star Wars fanfic to come true. I do expect setups to be paid off in *some* way and not be binned because the new director decided not to treat the trilogy as a collaboration.

The main plot mechanic was everyone in positions of leadership behaving stupidly or not sharing vital information with each other. It was a shitty way to advance the story.

The Casino Royale planet also had so potential, and it feels like it was squandered.


I really wish they would have left the mistreatment of those animals alone. Why not have well-treated animals and they just stole them to escape?

Or podracers. That would have avoided the awkward CGI.

Finn and Rose's interaction with Del Toro's character was pretty necessary though. Painted the resistance in a different light than usual. It emphasized the message of the movie.

It was also to give Rose some backstory (but she sucks anyways) and to introduce new midochlorian boy

"Need a ride?!" Made me and my girlfriend cringe so hard. A real cartoon moment.

But Star Wars is essentially a fantasy fun ride... in the original Han had lots of quips. It's not a realistic drama, it's a fucking pew pew archetypal story about a chosen boy.
Polycosm posted...
The Finn & Rose story is great in terms of character development (excluding Phasma). My main issue is with the tone and execution of Canto Bight. It reminded me of parts of the PT that I strongly dislike.

Wow I disagree wholeheartedly. I liked that planet.

I should clarify or re-word... I love the setting of Canto Bight, the environment, and what it represents, conceptually. I was turned off by the Harry Potter goblin, the animal CGI, and some of the dialogue. And for some reason-- it's hard to put my finger on it-- the chase sequence broke my suspension of disbelief. I know that probably sounds like a silly complaint for a movie about space wizards who shoot lightening from their fingertips, but something about that stampede and the sequence of coincidences really rubbed me the wrong way.

The whole "Lightspeed into the Dreadnought" was fucking stupid.

I actually liked it conceptually, especially because that's probably about how it would go (I'm sure someone on Reddit is already working on the math), but the problem is that was never shown before in the series.

I loved this moment in the film. If there was an explanation for it though, then I missed it. The film moves at break-neck speed in the second half, so it's entirely possible that some critical piece of info went right over my head.

They did use a light-speed trick in TFA to get around the Starkiller Base shields, but I don't remember the precise mechanics of that maneuver.

I don't think the film really conveyed the desperate nature of the Resistance well. I mean, I saw entire transports get destroyed and somehow felt nothing.

The film attempts to convey the desperation with Rose's sister's suicide bombing run, and the relentless cruiser chase scenes that you hated.

einegutePerson posted...
The salt world speeders had me so perplexed. Tactically, they are bright red SHOOT ME targets. And then they weren't shot at until MUCH later. And they stopped shooting Finn for some reason. Which was hilarious. And the crash should have killed both Finn and Rose.

The red is a feature of the planet the the resistance doesn't have any other options when it comes to choosing vehicles.

The enemy TIE fighters have to launch before they can fire on the speeders. Later, they stop shooting at Finn because Kylo impulsively directs all air cover to engage his father's ship.

And the lightsaber battle was entertaining, but clearly they are choosing to hold back on those fights.

I like TLJ but it raises some red flags for me and makes me nervous for the future of the saga. I feel like they're making up the story as they go, as opposed to carefully crafting long-term arcs. I feel like there's no fun in trying to speculate about future episodes and search for deeper meaning in TLJ, because Rian went off in his own direction and ignored as much of JJ's setup as he could.

I'm okay with Kylo's (and Rian's) approach of "killing the past." Actually, I think that Luke's character is very well-handled in TLJ.

My main gripe with the movie is that Rian also burned down a lot of what JJ set up in TFA. The new trilogy doesn't feel cohesive to me, at this point. Instead, I feel a jarring shift in authorial intent.

I'm kinda shocked they went into this without a clear plan nor sense of cohesiveness from one to the next

That's what producers are for... Kathleen Kennedy. What was she doin

She said that she would give directors room to do whatever they wanted, and I guess she meant it... sort of. She also ordered an extensive restructuring of the end of Rogue One, yanked Han Solo away from its directors when she felt it wasn't working out, and put JJ back on Episode IX, so... I don't know. I think that most of those decisions are going to look really smart in retrospect.

As far as them going in without a cohesive plan though... I'm not a fan of that approach. I prefer a carefully-planned story that I can revisit again and again and enjoy the beauty of its construction. TLJ certainly surprised me, but that trick only works on the first viewing.

I go into every Star Wars movie looking to have a good time-- not looking for faults-- but TLJ made me feel uneasy for a couple of reasons. First, Canto Bight... the CGI triggered my prequel PTSD. Second, Rian Johnson scuttled several of the arcs that JJ set up to span three movies. It feels like they're just making it up as they go now, and that's troubling to me.

Isn't JJ coming back for the next movie? Or is that after Episode IX? If so he'll probably have to do some course correcting

JJ is now writing and directing Episode IX, yes. It's going to be fascinating to see how he responds to the challenge ahead of him.

What's weird though is that I feel like any speculation about Episode IX now has to begin by analyzing the writer/director, more than the existing film itself. TLJ sets a precedent that any character or foreshadowing could be a complete red herring. Rian was given a ton of leeway to go his own direction and he made some pretty sharp turns. Watching TFA and TLJ almost back-to-back, I felt very aware of Rian's hand steering the plot.

Putting up Bernie would be a mistake. He mobilized the younger democrats, but his campaign obviously created divisiveness in the democratic constituency that in the end was probably a key contributor to Hillary's loss against Trump.

I agree with your conclusion but for the reverse reason.

6 - 12% of Bernie primary voters flipped to Trump in the 2016 general, compared to 24 - 25% of Hillary primary voters who flipped to McCain in the 2008 general. Bernie voters defected at a rate of 2 to 4x less than the previous benchmark set by Clinton voters in 2008.

Bernie supporters did not cost Clinton the election, but Clinton supporters could very well cost Bernie the election if he ran again. They didn't turn out for Obama and I question whether they'd turn out for Bernie.


Where did you get 24-25%?

Also, the distinction you aren't drawing is that ideologically 1. Clinton 2. McCain 3. Obama could be consistent, whereas 1.Sanders 2. Trump 3. Clinton isn't, if you are trying to make an argument for leftists and not just general populists.

Here's a secondary source that's a bit more readable: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2017/08/24/did-enough-bernie-sanders-supporters-vote-for-trump-to-cost-clinton-the-election

The above article links to several primary sources which require some effort to use / extract the data. One of the two sources for the Sanders 12% figure is 404'd but both number ranges are still supported.

Here's a direct link to the upper end of the Clinton numbers: https://sites.duke.edu/hillygus/files/2014/06/hendersonhillygustompsonPOQ.pdf (see page 9, table 2)

You make a good point, but I'm betting that the Libertarian party will welcome him back. Petersen's policy positions haven't changed-- only the letter next to his name. I don't think that his voter base from 2016 will turn on him so quickly. Also, Johnson and Weld were Republican governors. Admittedly, there was a significant amount of resistance to Weld, but he was still voted in as the vice presidential nominee (not simply selected by Johnson).

It's hard to say who the Democratic nominee will be... Bernie, Harris, Warren... even Franken still has a shot, imo.

On the Republican side, I expect Romney to challenge Pence or whoever is left in office. No one has set himself up better than Romney so far.

The Libertarian front-runner (even though it's early) is Austin Petersen. If he wins his Senate race, then I'd book him for sure.

I imagine I'll vote for Petersen if it pans out this way.

Should have happened long ago. The IOC was far too lenient with Russia for far too long. Better late than never though.

"I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go."

"I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies."

I don't see how Trump gets out of this, never mind everything else.

ITP: someone who needs to explain who/what he means, so we know what he's referring to

Trump / Russia just as one-sided as Tan Suit-gate
