Going to see it Sunday, I just hope that it's not just a rehash of Empire...
Re: Star Wars - News and Discussion
Disney have bought 21st Century Fox Inc. for $52.4 Billion.
This means that Disney now owns ALL of the Star Wars films, because Fox owned Episode IV A New Hope and was not sold to Disney by Lucasfilm.

Could this mean the Fox Fanfare logo and theme, missing from new Star Wars films since George Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney, could return for Episode 9?

Re: Star Wars - News and Discussion
I must admit I was very disappointed by the Last Jedi. Of the recent Star Wars films, the best in my mind has been Rogue One.

Re: Star Wars - News and Discussion
I was actually rather disappointed with Rogue One. This was an opportunity to shoot Guns of Navarone in space but was ruined by all the totally unnecessary "force" nonsense and the American obsession with family. Everyone has to be related in US tv/film dramas. Makes the plotlines visible from a mile off. Terribly predictable and sentimental (see Guardians of the Galaxy 2). Rogue One was a chance to break the cycle. Hopefully future standalone films will have the courage to plow their own furrow and just be good sci fi films.

Fully agreed. I just watched it 2 days ago, big dissapointment. They could do it way better.Lord Jim wrote:I must admit I was very disappointed by the Last Jedi. Of the recent Star Wars films, the best in my mind has been Rogue One.
Fortune favors brave sir, said Carrot cheerfully.
What's her position about heavily armed, well prepared and overmanned armies?
Oh, noone's ever heard of Fortune favoring them, sir.
According to General Tacticus, it's because they favor themselves…

Re: Star Wars - News and Discussion
I'm not into the whole Star Wars thing but my son wanted to see it the last Jedi, besides being totally lost to what was going on as the last one I saw was number III return of the Jedi. what struck me was how political correct it is and if a lot of roles were reversed people would howl it down as being racist and demeaning to the female species.

Re: Star Wars - News and Discussion
To me, it also seemed to have a very anti meat and pro animal rights agenda in it. Which is weird to put into a spacey sci-fi adventure film.
Re: Star Wars - News and Discussion
I found it an OK film, but not really a "Star Wars" film...
I was worried about "Solo" before seeing Last Jedi, now I'm dreading it
