Poll of the Day > Should I still go see Star Wars XIII if Luke's fate has been spoiled? (Spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Had not seen the movie and was going to see it today, but found out, due to a jerk on PotD that apparently Luke Skywalker dies.

We're still a ways from XIII.

VIII...XIII whatever. You know what I meant.

I can't give you advice on this, when it comes to movies, if it isn't Star Trek or Studio Ghibli I haven't seen it.

I've only seen the 3 recent Star Trek movies. What did you think of Into Darkness? I loved that film, especially the villain played by Cumberbatch

It's still enjoyable even with that knowledge, imo

I have no idea. I'm glad I don't like star wars enough to care. but it doesn't seem to be that much of a spoiler, it seems like a plausible outcome especially looking at the advertising and stuff, and that the actor is old, and there's something controversial about the movie, etc.etc.

what's probably more interesting and hasn't been spoiled is the circumstances surrounding it. (this was the case for me for a previous movie.)

also, these days I would recommend (and I'm not trying to be unsympathetic here) that if you want to avoid spoilers for a particular movie, that you see it ASAP, like immediately if possible. (actually, sad to see the marketing for the movie actually plays on this a bit). there's this sort of malevolent spoiler, where some jerk just spoils it for lols, but there are lots of places (youtube comments and stackexchange hot questions list in particular) where it's both extremely likely and extremely easy to inadvertently read a non-malicious spoiler.

also, now that I notice it... why title this thread with the phrase "Luke's fate has been spoiled". that's barely any better.

True, but it wouldn't have been as fun to just ignore it.

Very true.

Thought this would be less spoiler-prone, but after thinking, I didn't do much better.

Were you not expecting the old mentor to die in SW?

I didn't really enjoy Episode 8. I have to fully decided where exactly to place it yet but it's definitely within the worst 3 in the series.

The movie itself is okay, the problem that fans have with it is that it doesn't fit the Khan story at all. If Cumberbatch was anyone other than Khan the story would have been great. Like before its release, me and my friend had accurately guessed that Cumberbatch was Khan and as a result dismissed the movie levels of not good.

I am a huge fan of Beyond tho. Thought that was very good.

That guy is the absolute worst, tbh. My ignore list can't keep up with all of his bans and new accounts. Granted, POTD in general is kinda awful for that stuff, although CE is probably far worse.

That said, I had kinda assumed the outcome so it's not like it makes that much difference.

Yeah, I'm honestly surprised that nothing had been spoiled for me until now. TFA had a few key spoilers right around release which killed part of it for me.

True. It's an implicit spoiler.

It's not much of a twist in context. If you were interested in seeing the movie before learning about that you should probably still go, knowing isn't going to change your experience much.

Go watch it.
---

If you enjoy Star Wars it is an entertaining movie. I personally put in the near the bottom of the rankings, but it is still worth a watch.
---

we dont actually know if hedied though it seems fairly clear cut i guess

I enjoyed it for the most part save a couple complaints. The story I liked, some individual scenes were a bit hokey, but some scenes were really awesome in my opinion. A lot of people's complaints about the overall story I wholeheartedly disagree with; I really appreciated where they went with things.

Really? I thought Beyond was a major downgrade compared to Into Darkness. The twist wasn't even the interesting part of the film- it was just seeing how great Khan was at outmaneuvering his opponents
