Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

[Anders]

Hamill was on our main chat show here last night and gave probably the best interview I’ve ever seen him do. He was really relaxed and charmed the pants off the entire country:)
Here’s a clip. They let a little fella ask him a question or two. It’s adorable:)

That was nice. Thanks for sharing.

The whole interview was wonderful. I’ll share it if it pops up

[Monkey_Driven]

Watched all the deleted scenes. The Luke/Rey scenes would have worked. The Canto Bright stuff was so weird, yet wonderful. Can understand why they cut it.

[dimejinky99]

This film is fucking fantastic. I think I’m about ready to rank it.

[dimejinky99]

This should have been left in. I can’t think of a reason why it wouldn’t be. He’s mourning han.

Yeah, I had the same thought. It's a wonderful little scene and and it's short so there was no good reason I can think of to cut it out. Very touching scene.

Most of those deleted scenes were great. I loved the scene with Luke telling Rey the island was being raided so she runs towards the fight only to find the caretakers having a big party! I wish they'd kept that, too.

The Director & The Jedi is BRILLIANT. Essential viewing for any fan.

I think I'm ready to rank this one too!

[dimejinky99]

Honestly think the director and the Jedi is my favourite making of doco ever.
It’s fucking fantastic. There’s so much packed in there and it’s shot so beautifully.
The making of doco with TFA was so flimsy and barren. This one should and could be released as a film in its own right. Love it.

Its also emotional.

Watching that makes it absolutely clear how huge of a fan Rian Johnson is. How much he cares about these characters and really wanted to push the star wars story forward. Not to retread. I love the movie more after watching it. I love how he got inside their heads and where he takes the characters.

Watched the film again this morning with my best friend who is a massive Star Wars geek. I asked her after where she was currently ranking this one. She said it's 5th or 6th at the moment! Better than the prequels, maybe better than Rogue One but doesn't match up with TFA and the OT.

I think she's actually out of her mind. TLJ has some of my favourite shots in the entire saga, as well as some of my favourite scenes. Instant classic for me.

[McParadigm]

It’s certainly miles beyond Force Awakens and the prequels.

[Monkey_Driven]

It’s certainly miles beyond Force Awakens and the prequels.

After my third viewing I am inclined to agree. It holds up. A real step forward in the main saga. Really, the first since Empire.

‘I wanted to pick up at exactly that moment’

Then why the fuck play it for laughs? He could have just dropped the saber and walked off rather than throw it.

Don’t think I’ll ever be able to take this. It completely pisses all over the entire point of TFA and certainly it’s ending.

No it doesnt. It doesnt shit on the ending of TFA at all. It just moves it forward in a way that was unexpected and its only kind of funny because of how shocking it is.

It does take away from TFA. In a big way. And it’s said somewhere that they have him throw it just to set up the porg gag when the porg is kicking the on switch and the other one is looking down the barrel.

It would have been easier and more impactful to have him do almost anything else rather than throw it like that. Hand it back to her. This means nothing to me. Drop it and just walk off.
Nothing in this film about Luke and where he’s at mentally is funny so why play it like that? It clashes violently against everything else they’re trying to establish for him in this film.

"Okay that is nowhere" to rey about jakuu

"That was a mean trick" to R2

*brushes pretend dust off shoulder after being bombarded by Kylo's gun attacks*

"See you around kid" - Total smartass

*sucks blue milk from titty and gives rey a greasy look*

"i cant imagine why" Luke to Rey regarding the caretakers

There are more. Point is: Luke is a smartass in this movie. Luke is an old crusty "get off my lawn" bastard, as well as having intense emotional things to overcome. He can be both serious and a smartass. Like Yoda.

Its not out of character for the movie and does not shit on anything.

[dimejinky99]

Everything you listed is Valid and within character. And funny. The saber toss isn’t though. Even better he should have refused to take it out of her hand. He lost an arm to that fuckin thing!!

I’m onboard 100% with everything else in this film. That one moment though. Just no.

Totally wrong decision.

FUCK YOU I DISAGREE.

I think its very similar to how Yoda first dealt with Luke.

I love it.

[dimejinky99]

My first time in the cinema I almost shouted WHAT??? I was loud.

I get he’s kinda doing a Yoda on it after the fact but not there he wasn’t.

Spoiler: show

the moment in the Director and the Jedi..the camera is way back and Rian sits down beside Hamill and is telling him you can’t tell Mary Lou. You can’t tell anyone. The title is the last Jedi

Such a brilliant little moment. Almost feels like Rian making it up to mark cos he’s after doing all this crazy stuff with Luke. And he’s like ‘ooh! That means me!’ It’s so cute and touching

Yesterday. Smack bang in the heart of Dublin. Here’s your answer. (We know luke is coming back but it’s academic at this point basically)
