Ehhhhh

Prequels were interesting, conceptually

But they have some really "❔ " moments

[Novayon 192]

Sounds about right

Had the potential

[Estoria#4001 19]

Phantom Menace feels kind of inconsequential

[ConnahDC 5]

i still say that TLJ is a decent enough movie ruined by fans expectations

[Novayon 192]

I'll watch it... one day

[Estoria#4001 19]

I had no expectations when I watched it

Still thought it was kind of bad

[ConnahDC 5]

its got its flaws and issues yeah

[Estoria#4001 19]

I agree that many fans had unreasonable expectations

There's only so much you can do in a film trilogy

[ConnahDC 5]

the things that people expected in TLJ was really, really stupid

[Estoria#4001 19]

But it feels cheap to end so many plot threads on nothing and telling us they are not important only for the sake of subverting expectations

[ConnahDC 5]

especially when the movies didnt even hint at those things

[Estoria#4001 19]

TFA didn't hint at many things

TFA mostly feels like wheel spinning

To be honest

It's a rethreading of Episode 4, which is not a bad thing, but it only set up plot threads without actually setting up any kind of overarching, uhh, arc

[Inçendyne 31]

What's going on, @Sora_1550584984?

[Dylan 0]

Everytime someone says TFA I always think they're talking about the first CapA movie

[Estoria#4001 19]

We don't know who Snoke is, we don't know how Maz got the lightsaber, we don't know where the First Order came from or how it came to be after the Enpire was dismantled

[ConnahDC 5]

TLJ shouldve been episode 9

[Estoria#4001 19]

It was fine for Episode 4 to be like that because it was a blank slate, the starting point of the story

But TFA is a sequel to an ongoing story, it needed to transition properly

[ConnahDC 5]

also

im sure MAz getting the lightsaber will be in a noivel

[Estoria#4001 19]

I think it should have been in the movies, honestly

It's an essential part of the story, really

[ConnahDC 5]

well, thats how this new trilogy is working

[Estoria#4001 19]

The weapon of the main hero of the last trilogy is on the hands of a stranger and we don't know why

[ConnahDC 5]

thats okay

well get prequels 2: electric boogaloo

[Estoria#4001 19]

It's as if a new character named Oingo Bongo had Sora's keyblade and we didn't know how that happened

"Where did you get that?"
"A GREAT QUESTION... for another time"

[That-_one_Sora 4]

WAS THAT A MOTHERLOVING JOJO REFERENCE?

[ConnahDC 5]

also i will forever say this, Rian Johnson was robbed

dude had to write out of a film and into a film
