That laugh at the end tho

[jampack]

Whose laugh is that??? :eek:

EDIT: I’m guessing it’s Palpatine? :eek:

[rx7boi]

Seems like it.


The Episode 9 trailer was revealed at Star Wars Celebration on Friday, and when the lights came back the audience was stunned to see actor Ian McDiarmid standing on stage. McDiarmid played the evil Palpatine in the original trilogy and the prequels, but hasn't been seen since -- Palpatine was long dead by the time of The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. Or so it seemed...

'the saga comes to an end'... come on disney, dont lie

[Xtrema]

'the saga comes to an end'... come on disney, dont lie

Officially, the 9 movies over the last 40 years is the Skywalker Saga and it's supposed to end with this one.

Then they have to come up with a new Star Wars saga.

No way Disney won't continue to milk the IP. But they are falling back to Disney+ and theme park for a bit of hiatus before they figure what to do on the movie front next.

[ZenOps]

Muahahaha!

[killramos]

Closed captioning on the official youtube confirmed it to be Palpatine.

"Emperor"

This movie needs one hell of a twist to make up for the last one...

[D'z Nutz]

The Last Jedi was so bad, they could be building sandcastles for 20 minutes and it would make up for the last one.

[taemo]

Feels to me like Harry Potter in space
Female Harry is on a quest to find Horcruxes er Observatories that the Emperor might have hidden in various planets.

[cycosis]

Am I the only one who really enjoyed Solo and Im disappointed they wont be doing a sequel? Solo and Rogue One were great. Eps 7 and 8 were atrocious. WIll still see 9 because I cant resist.

Solo was great! I could do without Rogue One. I'm excited to see Ep. 9 whether it's amazerballs or not. All this hype about the sub par Avengers series, but no love for the Star Wars franchise. Weird.

I liked Solo, Rogue One, and Episode 7. Episode 8 was so bad for me, I couldn't even bring myself to watch it again for free on Netflix. But I did hear if you fast forward all the parts related to the casino world, it's a lot more bearable haha

[killramos]

Yea 8 had too many cringeworthy scenes to be good.

Out of the Disney Star Wars movies, I only truely loved Rogue One. Everything else is passable. Not sure if Solo would be better left in the hands of original directors. I don't like 8 at first but like the movie's theme, if you let the past go, you may enjoy it more.

Well...........

[killramos]

Well at least it gives me confidence that the current producers watched a bit of the original trilogy if only to pull some clips in for the trailer :rofl:

[D'z Nutz]

This might end up being better than the movie itself.

Damn. That's actually a heart warming commercial lol.

Just weird it's in Filipino for some reason (my native language haha).

I assume it's a Filipino cinema chain.

Even if they are promoting pirating, the onions tho.

that was a nicely made commercial, Globe is one of the mobile carries in the Philippines and this looks like a fundraising campaign for tools and equipment for a virtual school for PWD.
D'z Nutz what do you want, VCD or VHS copy? I'll see what I can find while there later this month :rofl:

Let me ask Uncle Boy. Laserdisc bruh

[lilmira]

wow, reviews are not looking good. I don't trust critics' reviews when they are good but when the critics' reviews are bad, it's even worse.

[jampack]

Welp.. it’s alright..

[killramos]

Best of the new trilogy for sure. Immensely entertaining and I really enjoyed it.

But I’m a massive fan, so I appreciated the fan service.

[eglove]

Definitely the best of the trilogy that’s for sure. I liked it a lot! Lots of sound porn, can’t wait to watch it at home in atmos and have no 3D.

[Buster]

much, much better than I was expecting.

REviewers are dumb. That piece of trash Ep8 gets 91% on RT, and this get 50% something?

I think I may have liked Ep7 better, but not by much.

[Xtrema]

REviewers are dumb. That piece of trash Ep8 gets 91% on RT, and this get 50% something?

Because there are retcons that shits on The Last Jedi.

I enjoy it but I can see why some neckbeards may lose their minds over this. Some elements of the reviews are spot on.

Did Lando make a move on that young chick?

[killramos]

Everything they retconned should have been retconned.

I wouldn’t cry if they remade TLJ, they couldn’t do much of a worse job.

[ExtraSlow]

What the fuck is retcon?

[Tik-Tok]

What the fuck is retcon?

When they officially change the original story, that was previously established by the old films (or books, or comics, or whatever)

[suntan]

I enjoyed it. I liked the fast pace. SW movies tend to plod.

I didn't think there was really any retconning.

The movie even somewhat redeemed the PT.

[ExtraSlow]

I'm okay with revisionist history where works of fiction are concerned. There's nothing Disney could do that would shock me, I'm a fan of Douglas Adams after all, and he wrote contradictory formats of his works simultaneously. Not to mention the amazing authorized and clearly impossible works of the BBC and the graphic novels.

[mazdavirgin]

I'd agree that this movie is better than the 8th. Overall though this last set of 3 movies in IMHO the worst lot of the franchise.

Not even close

Ep1 to 3 were unmitigated trash

[BokCh0y]

Saw it Friday, I liked it. In order from best to worst for this trilogy series in my opinion:

1. Ep7
2. Ep9
3. Ep8

Really disliked 8, rian johnson ruined a lot for me in all honesty. I think if it wasn't for 8 and what they had to work with in 9, 9 could've been even better. 7 set the foundation. 8 killed everything. 7 set, and 9 had to figure out what to do to get back on track.

Rian Johnson should be ashamed for that movie. Amazing that it got released.

[Buster]

Rian Johnson is a really good film maker. hes not a good star wars maker.

Really Kathleen Kennedy should be fired instantly.

I think there is a good argument to be made that Rogue 1 was better than all three of these.

[Tik-Tok]

I think there is a good argument to be made that Rogue 1 was better than all three of these.

Rogue 1 was better than any of the trilogies.

So the news is all over this being a big bomb in China.

Thank god.

We do NOT want our hollywood movies catering to the Chinese domestic market. China, as a whole, as horrible taste in movies...and we want no part of it.

I mean, this is the highest grossing movie of all time in China:

[nzwasp]

Spoiler text has stuff about this movie and mando ep 7.

Until this week I never knew force healing was even a thing let alone force resurrection, now the newest movie and the mandolorian both have force healing in it. Also didnt anakin go crazy because his wife died, why didnt he just force heal or force resurrect her

Also our pop culture bleeding into this movie like it did in episode 8
the two storm troopers saying "cool" on the star destroyer, the other scene where rey and someone else were telling each other they were "OK"

Anti-Foreigner sentiment aside, Star Wars was never big in China.

Truth be told, I'm surprised it's being shown at all, given all the uprising in HK and other regions of China.

I hadn't watched TLJ since it was in the theatres cause it left such a bad taste in my mouth and that sapped any motivation I had for this movie, but since I do plan on seeing this I had to rewatch TLJ eventually. Just for the fun of it I took a rip of TLJ and using iMovie removed all references of the casino world sidequest and by extension almost all scenes with Finn, Rose, and Benicio del Toro and it's actually quite watchable. With 30 minutes of unnecessary fluff shaved off, it actually flows a lot better.

Is it perfect? No, and some things don't make sense, but in my defense neither did parts of the theatrical cut haha

I finished watching it on the weekend and a few funny things in my re-cut:

- Finn first shows up just after the Rebels escape in the beginning and right before they realize they were tracked through lightspeed and doesn't appear again until the final dogfight is about to begin. In fact, Laura Dern and Billie Lourd have much larger roles in my version. He's basically an extra with a bunch of lines.

- Poe isn't even hauled off to the brig for insubordination in my re-cut (cause there's a lot of radio contact between him and Finn during this scene). He just gets in an argument with Laura Dern and pulls a gun on her, along with a bunch of mutineers that come from nowhere :rofl:

- Rose is just a fighter pilot in the final dogfight and with that cringeworthy kissing scene removed, the hug he gives Rey is a lot less awkward. Like Finn, she's basically an extra too haha

[nzwasp]

Also I dislike that they put that hobbit into the movie - I felt like he had way to much screentime, I would of rather a no name actor like rose in his character.

[killramos]

^ D’z Nutz for director!

In general Rose’s story arc was just bad and unentertaining, removing it likely fixes the movie I agree.

[hurrdurr]

So what did Finn want to tell Rey? I couldn't tell if he was in love with her or what?

[Xtrema]

So what did Finn want to tell Rey? I couldn't tell if he was in love with her or what?

He knows the force too. But I assume JJ had a love triangle (again like Ep4/5/6) in mind before Rian shove Rose in.

The only problem with this trilogy is not let JJ do all 3 or Rian threw basically all the set up JJ did in Force Awaken except for the Kylo Ren's arc. So now you have 3 disjointed films.

JJ lost a bet and had to put him in the movie.

No need to use spoiler tags guys. If someone wanders into a dedicated thread they better not expect it to be spoiler free

Unfortunately, thats exactly the case.

[suntan]

Until this week I never knew force healing was even a thing let alone force resurrection, now the newest movie and the mandolorian both have force healing in it. Also didnt anakin go crazy because his wife died, why didnt he just force heal or force resurrect herBecause he'd be dead then.

Ren actually did what his father never could - sacrifice himself for his love.

[Darkane]

Watched tonight.

Really enjoyed it.

Force resurrection made sense right. The sith were so hell bent on achieving it, but it took Disney love to achieve.

I felt Rey should have had all the Jedi ghosts assisting her force deflection toward Palestine at the end.

I wish Mace would have called the emperor a mother fucker. It would have been mic dropping.

[D'z Nutz]

I just got back from it too.

I gotta say, I really enjoyed it and now I'm a little sad this part of the saga is over cause Episode 9 really redeemed the shit show that was TLJ. Yeah there was a few "gimme a break!" moments, but overall it was much better than it was crappy.

Visually, it was stunning.

If you could find a way to get Poe out of there too that would be mint. I can live with Rose as she is just filler character that doesn't really interfere with the main plot. But watching Oscar Isaac and that John Boyega is just cringe inducing.

[nzwasp]

Do you think after TLJ the shows producers were thinking alright how the fuck are we going to wrap up this shit storm, or do you think from movie 7 they had a clear direction through to the end of movie 9?

[killramos]

Well a substantial amount of RoS was filmed before TLJ hit theatres so I would say the core plot was all there since the beginning.

[Xtrema]

Do you think after TLJ the shows producers were thinking alright how the fuck are we going to wrap up this shit storm, or do you think from movie 7 they had a clear direction through to the end of movie 9?

It was in a complete rewrite mode by the time TLJ was released. Original director for EP 9 left on "Creative Differences".

[ZenOps]

Star wars lost appeal to me the day they introduced Magenta light sabers. Don't people know that Magenta does not exist?

Hollywood puts far too much emphasis on "Freedom" being a positive trait. I mean, technically the Joker was expressing his freedom right, so does that mean the USA should model itself on the Joker? Thor is incredibly cheeseball. The instant you consider that a guy with a hammer running around half naked as an Asian lead actor? Maybe, maybe not.

Still to this day you are going to get older Asian people saying that "why was that Luke guy such a dickwad for leaving the farm and letting people around him probably starve?" And stupendously loyal stormtroopers should be saving the day. I can absolutely see their reasoning. Cultural differences, shoulda renamed death star to "freedom cannon". It does not help at all that a lot of the assumption that the blonde male lead is assumed to be the protagonist by western audiences, if you go straight in with no pre-conceived ideas - you can actually go down a completely different path.

Brainstorm or Green Needle, once you've started your brain down one path - you will not hear the other.

Funniest of all is when you get a movie with a guy proclaiming they are bringing freedom, and the first thing they do is throw a grenade at a random group of people. James Bond has also been guilty of this, take away the white guy with great hair - replace him with middle eastern dude yelling "Allahu Ackbar" and all of sudden the movie looks like a terror fest.

[Buster]

Don't people know that Magenta does not exist?
