Director didn't do the story. But, is he also credited as a screenwriter and producer.


Talking about the story and what Disney puts out as credits. Isn't it strange that Rian Johnson does the story for the next two, but has nothing to do with TFA? Don't you need one guy to oversee the story arch and consistency? I mean, you also have the other 3 movies and I doubt they will quit at 6 movies total if it is still profitable.

I see though that Lawrence Kasdan is credited in TFA. He helped GJ as a screenwriter for the OT.

So funny.

The biggest thing i hate about RotS is that i just lost all my respect to Darth Vader after that lol. How can I take him serious anymore after SW2 & 3. smh.

Know what's funnier? Samuel L. Jackson yelping like a little girl after Anakin chops off his hand.


(After that disjointed scene that keeps switching between a cgi Palpatine and an Ian McDiarmid who looked like he didn't know how to handle a sword)

Kathleen Kennedy oversees the new trilogy, so basically it's her filling the role of George Lucas.

What do you guys think about all the fan theories linking the first 6 movies to the new trilogy?

Examples being:
-Rey is a Skywalker (very likely IMO).
-Supreme Leader Snoke is Darth Plagueis (quite possible IMO).
-Jar Jar Binks is Darth Plagueis (not very likely IMO).

Apart from these being true or not (one can only speculate) would a link to the past make the new trilogy better for you or do you hope it doesn't go further than some old characters making an appearance? Personally I would like the Darth Plagueis Snoke thing to be true but I think Disney doesn't want to fuck with the taint of the PT umfortunately..

Yesterday I saw the prequels again, Jar Jar is the worst character ever lol, it is like taking Goofy from Donald Duck and put it in a movie with another look, he is so stupid that is annoying, not even funny, so not No.3 for me.

You don't see the difference between
I didn't like TFA because the story wasn't original


And

I could've done just as good a job directing TFA, with some whiteout and a sharpie. The director didn't do anything to deserve a paycheck.


Only the 2nd is filled with typos and disjointed crap about your kid.

The first is a reasonable criticism/post. The second quote is a shit post. It's obviously false, it lacks any understanding of how films/directors work and it adds nothing to the discussion. It's poorly constructed and poorly thought out.

Rey being a Skywalker is 50/50. Would be lame if she was, but that hasn't stopped them before.

Rey being trained and mind-wiped, that I estimate 20/80 against. Makes sense, but not very likely because the things it fixes aren't seen as problems. More likely Rey is just a Mary Sue. That's just needed because we can't have fumbling panicked people today in Hollywood blockbusters. Everyone the audience has to care for is already overly perfect.They already want Finn to suddenly be a bad-ass. If he can do what he can, what can a force sensitive future Jedi do?


Snoke being Darth Plagueis. Would at least get rid of that stupid name. Opens a whole can of worms they probably want to keep closed. No need to make that link, at all. He probably is a force user, which isn't confirmed. We just need a evil space wizard mastermind. Must easier to just create a new character and keep links with old EU and prequels to the minimum.

Oh, the cringe of 9gag, where people use or pretend to be kids in hopes to somehow strengthen their opinion. "I'm only 10 years old but I think TFA lacked depth, and tried to cover it with action scenes. I was much more interested in the politics than some fancy X-Wing action. Am I the only one ????!!!!!!" or "I brought my 10 years old kid with me to watch TFA in the movies. I did not like it, but tried my best not to show it to him. After the movie, he grabbed me by the arm and said: dad, this movie was terrible. I want to go home and rewatch the OT instead, because it's just so much better."

*Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh* Just... don't.

I want statistics about how many people googled Mary Sue after TFA and started to include it in their dictionary. If people think Rey is a Mary Sue, then it won't need much time for that term to lose all of its meaning.

They deliberately want to keep politics to not just a minimum, but a zero. The general audience don't care at all for that. That's why they blew up the Galactic senate so it won't be as odd when the just ignore it. The universe can now revolve around the protagonists. A galactic senate would just get in the way of the plot or slow it down.

I think they wanted a reset on politics from the PT. It'll return in a much less convoluted form that will be 1) easier to understand, 2) easier to predict. It'll probably annoy some people but for most it'll be just enough to be interesting.

Like we knew anything about the current Senate. No need for a reset. They could just turn it into whatever they wanted.

OT barely had politics. They just want to keep it out because these are action-oriented black-white fantasy movies.
That the prequels failed adding politics well doesn't mean it can;t be done well. It just doesn't sell. So be it a Star Wars movie or a Star Trek movie, the goal is to keep out politics. Blowing up the senate, and making sure the audience knows, lets them do whatever they want with zero politics in VIII 'because the senate was blown up'.

I just googled the term and She is a Mary Sue in Chaper VII.
