Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

[Kaius]

I liked the raw power of that "throne room" fight between Rey/Ben and the guards just as much.

[B]

I can't imagine how anyone could think there are action sequences in TFA or TLJ that even approach the climax of TPM. I mean, "Duel of the Fates"? Come on.

It was one of the best cirque du soleil moments in all of Star Wars.

One scene does not a good movie make.

I didn’t say it did. Just commenting on stip’s assertions that its best moments are merely “okay” and still below these new shitshows.

Just got back from watching this for the first time. Totally not what I expected, of course, but I loved it, can't wait to see it again.

I guess I lost track of what you guys were arguing about.

it doesn't really matter anyway

[E.H. Ruddock]

None of this matters

it's a great score but there is no emotional tension and just a bunch of overly choreographed flipping

I'd say it has tons of emotional tension. A lot of more than...well, you know the rest.

Screenrant is one small step above clickbait, but the Cinemascore/online poll disparity is interesting. I wonder if there is a story here. If the movie doesn't have the legs you'd exepct there probably isn't any smoke. If it does...

[Leatherhead]

What questions are to be answered in episode 9?

[stip]

there may not be many questions - which is just fine. The OT never had any questions that carried over from movie to movie. . Nothing wrong with just telling a good story with worthwhile characters

[Leatherhead]

So I assume Rey will construct a lightsaber in 9? I really hope we get more lightsaber action.

[Strat]

Empire left no questions.

the rebels were defeated. Lukes father was Darth Vader.

That was it.

[stip]

the two lightsaber fights in the new trilogy have been aces. I assume we'll get a final showdown with Rey and Ren

I agree they've been great, I just want more!

What will the rebels do now?

How will Luke deal with knowing his father is Darth Vader?

Will they find Han Solo?

those are plot points. They aren't 'mysteries'. It's a continuation of a narrative, but it isn't a 'who are Rey's parents' style question

For Ep. 9:

What will the resistance do now?

How will Rey deal with the knowledge of her parents, and is it even true?

Will Rey become an ass kicking Jedi without a master?

Will we ever find out who Snoke was?

Will DJ return?
