I own page 2 and I still have trauma from panning up to see Scarlet’s dangling feet.

Quoted: Star Wars used to be a thing with me because it reminded me of a simpler time back in the 70s and 80s. Not anymore, SW is shit. View Quote Back then, it was a better simpler time. No one would have ever thought that "Princess Leia" was some "chick with a dick" ... Only thing worse than Luke kissing his Sister? Luke kissing his Brother. ... Bigger_Hammer |

Empire was the peak of Wars.
Progressive downhill let down since. Looking forward to checking out Snyder's non-sanctioned Wars (Rebel Moon). |

Quoted: Waititi seems like one of those directors who needs someone to tell him no. The only thing I'm slightly looking forward to that he is working on is his movie adaptation of The Incal. Which is an incredibly lore dense and rushed graphic novel. I am morbidly curious how they are going to distill that down to movie length. Seeing as how it was based off a project to make a Dune movie which would have been 7 hours long. Rape is also a major recurring theme in The Incal. But they will probably keep that in seeing as how it's essentially a story about a dumb, greedy, absurdly shortsighted white guy constantly being screwed over by various cosmic horrors. View Quote The Jodorowsky version of Dune, for those keeping score at home. I read the wiki for the graphic novel. I'm sure it's insanely stylish, especially with Moebius helping out. |

Most non-conformist "it will piss people off" thing anyone could do would be to make a good movie, true to any source material, cast by predominantly white actors.
I'm sure he means he put a chick in it and made her gay and lame |

I like most of his stuff. It couldn't be any worse then all the force is female garbage that's been put out. Trying to be better than The Mandalorian could be tough.

Quoted: He then allegedly added with a laugh, “It’s gonna piss people off.” View Quote About Thor he said "I'll ruin your mythos in a minute". Well, it's not really a Thor movie if it doesn't follow the mythos, is it? Why do these morons want to piss off the fan base? I guess it plays well in Hollywood, but it's not a formula for success long term. |

Kathleen Kennedy seems to be determined to destroy the IP.
I think people are way too hard on the TV shows for the most part, but Disney completely blew any credibility they had with the sequels. Andor was really very good. Filoni/Favreau seem to know what fans want if they'd just leave them alone to deliver it. If they just get Revan right I'd forgive the weak parts of the series. |

Quoted: Can't be much worse than any of the other recent so-called Star Wars garbage. View Quote ^this I view Taika Waititi as mixed in terms of quality. Some of his stuff is funny and some not. Take JoJo Rabbit for example. It's not really a bad movie, but not as funny as the trailer made it seem. |

I think the plot is something about a transgender Jedi that is conflicted about whether it should train with the lightsaber in the traditional sense, or sit on it.

He will be gaying it up... He does it w/ most of his stuff. Had to stop watching a few thing because of it. That pirate show started off pretty good

Quoted: The thing is, he only knows how to do 1 type of humor and do 1 type of movie. Once you've seen 1 or 2 of his movies, you've seen 'em all. I just want another Rogue One type SW movie... View Quote You could say that about Guy Ritchie but I like most of his movies too. ETA: I'm definitely nearing my limit of Waititi's humor though. It goes from funny to painful incredibly quick. |

Won’t piss me off, cause I won’t watch it.
Disney has done something far worse than make me hate Star Wars (and I am/was a pretty big fan) ….they’ve made me literally not care. |

Outside of Star Wars, his schedule looks packed.
I don’t think we’re going to see this movie for a while. |
|
The number of people consuming Star Wars content is fading anyway. Might as well shoot for the full dumpster fire.

"Pissing people off" is now Hollywood's purpose.
It sure isn't "making money" or they'd stop putting out all this woke garbage. Fuck this guy and fuck his movie. |

Can't piss me off if I already don't acknowledge any but the first three movies.

I used to like Star Wars when I was a kid, I didn't like the 3 Prequels at all and I only watched a couple of the new new ones. At this point I'm just apathetic. I don't care as I'm not going to watch it anyway.
On a side note, if you like Star Wars that's fine, I enjoy some questionable stuff as guilty pleasures knowing they aren't awesome. That being said Star Wars is so fucking mid it's not even funny. The amount of people that seem to dedicate their lives to it and Harry Potter just baffles me. Last time I was in Orlando for a work conference all the obese adults walking around in their robes... |

Quoted: I think he did Thor ragnarok and that was a good time View Quote He did, but I think that was an example of Taika Waititi under reins, i.e. a little of his offbeat humor works, when there are folks to go, "OK...maybe not that..." I think Thor: Love and Thunder is an example of Taika granted free rein due to tge succes of Ragnarok, and Love and Thunder was a MESS. Out of the blue, Korg's entire race is gay. The whole Russell Crowe bit was just |

Quoted: (deflection) You know - anyone hitting .500 would be a MLB batting champion... (/deflection) Yes - that was definitely a NOT a homer by any means.

But on the other hand - it wasn't as awful as "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" so call it glass half full ? Bigger_Hammer I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, because I thought GOTG 3 was in a whole different league to T:LAT. I found GOTG 3 enjoyable. I can't count how many times I went, "W...T...F..." while watching T:LAT. Ragnarok and Love and Thunder, are like watching the awkward kid telling a few funny jokes, then when he gets more confident and daring, he starts pushing further and stuff goes from funny, to "WTF is wrong with this guy? I knew he seemed a little weird, but daaaamn..." |

Luke kissing his Brother. ... Bigger_Hammer View Quote No... At cloud city, Luke would find out that Vader was his Mother. Vader's entire motivation will revolve around dead naming, troon rage. But then Luke would later come to understand the "but you told me Vader murdered my father" conversation much differently and in a hilarious new light. Yes... "from a certain point of view, the man I once knew died" |

Star Wars ended with the 2nd season of the Mandalorian.
It was a fantastic good bye and I will not be watching anymore fan fiction. |
