Interesting tidbit from Lucasfilm Story Group member Pablo Hidalgo: for a very long while the title of The Force Awakens was Shadow of the Empire. -
I'm not 100% sure what it is you're questioning here, but we do know from additional sources (*sigh*) that while Finn excelled in his combat simulations, he was reprimanded for showing concern for the lives of others (specifically his fellow cadets). He's a protector, not a killer. He was stuck in sanitation for a reason.
-
I think we need to forget the Sith Order when it comes to Snoke, Kylo, and the Knights of Ren. They didn't have a monopoly on the Dark Side of the Force, they were simply the most successful to wield it. And they are gone.
-
I'm not sold on this one, and not just because JJ and company have denied it. Plagueis was a Muun, and while Snoke is tall and thin, he doesn't have the head of a Muun. Of course, Plagueis being a Muun is now old EU, so who knows?
-
The current rumor is we'll see a younger version of his character in Rogue One.
-
Did we discuss Ewan McGregor and Frank Oz recording dialog for Rey's vision?
-
He doesn't actually hate everyone. That's why he is so conflicted. He seeks the power the Dark Side gives him, but the cost is tearing him apart.
-
That's fine, it's still worse than Django. It's worse than all of his films.
-
Yes
-
Yeah, the Obi Wan/Maul fight is tremendous.
-
It's gorgeously(!) shot, but The Hateful Eight completely falls apart halfway through its nearly 3-hour running time. It is there the narrative structure fails, and Tarantino is forced to rely upon a lengthy, poorly acted flashback, and an out-of-place narration, to attempt to put it back together. He never does. This is his worst film. I wouldn't watch it again.
-
No,
-
I have to disagree on the TFA duel.
-
Because they'd be dead if they fought like that. It's all flourishes and twirls and needless maneuvers. It's style over substance. The duel in Sith is the most anticlimactic confrontation in the Star Wars saga. It's horribly silly, and not once does it look like they're actually fighting against each other. There's no danger.
-
Outside of the Maul fight in TPM, the prequel fights were overly choreographed and rather ridiculous. Basically two people twirling swords with no sense of threat or danger. The Awakens duel is fierce.
-
Yeah, we'll have to agree to strongly disagree on your spoiler tagged bit. Driver has been universally lauded for his performance, and it's a brilliant start for the character. Easily the best and most dynamic villain we've seen on film this year.
-
What Lucas wanted to see was shite. And I haven't seen anything that says Snoke is bigger and badder.
-
Yes. Some (not all) of the criticisms I'm seeing here are people missing (or misunderstanding) stuff in the film. Especially reddsun. Dude, stop playing on your phone during the movie and pay attention. If I have the time today I'll try to respond to some of these and maybe clarify a thing or two.
-
Did a little digging, it appears to be photoshopped. Perhaps /Film just put it in its piece for giggles?
-
I assume so. It was in the /Film Easter egg piece
-
We ain't found sh*t!
-
He was supposed to have a much smaller role, but after casting Oscar Isaac they decided to make him a more prominent character.
-
Yeah, pretty much. As I stated a few days ago, it's a real dick move by Disney.
