Topic	I'm trying to give the new SW trilogy a fair shot, I really am
animebop 10/17/23 12:09:00 PM #82:	el_cheato posted... It was literally improv yes. I don't even blame Rian Johnson for completely phoning it in with VIII. JJ Abrams did absolutely no setup and no worldbuilding and left no good plot hooks, just a bunch of stupid mystery boxes and an outright contradictory setting. Johnson saw that he had to make a sequel to a fucking JJ Abrams movie, said "nah fuck this y'all are losers, please stop it with the nostalgia pandering", and they fucking let him. Lest we forget, there was always someone in charge of the trilogy as a whole who could have hired anybody except for the one director in hollywood with no interest in star wars. Rise of Skywalker, however, is a masterpiece. One of my favorite movies. It's Plan 9 From Outer Space levels of bad but with a billion dollar budget. Absolute joy to watch. Yeah, I agree with this. Except I don't think RJ phoned it in too hard, just struggled to put together a bunch of really weird plots into a cohesive movie. And EP9 is an absolute disaster of a movie. Abrams carries a ton of fault for the ST, and it's truly astonishing that they gave him any creative control. --- Internet + video game message board = upper-middle class + never-employed = libertarian <cite>animebop posted [p:976706372] in I'm trying...
