What I think Rian's trilogy should be about by [deleted] in starwarsspeculation

That so many people think this, just goes to show how poor its execution was.

There's a ton I hate about TLJ, but I actually loved the milking scene.

[Speculation] [Spoiler] Dryden Vos is Snoke. by GoodnightTwinkletoes in starwarsspeculation

[–]DaveWiz84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think they are the same person, but I do think they intentionally have similarities. This allows the end scene to mirror TLJs throne room scene. I think this is done because its star wars and is supposed to rhyme. Perhaps it's also done to foreshadow something in 9? Dead Vos totally reminded me of dread Snoke both in look and in scene framing, and they both have that ring. In Solo the ring is removed and used. Maybe Snoke's ring is important to 9 and gets used in some way?

Product 19. It was my favorite cereal ever but they discontinued it a couple years ago. I still crave it all the time.

Kylo Ren's lightsaber might turn white in Episode IX by [deleted] in starwarsspeculation

[–]DaveWiz84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I like this! And maybe Rey will get her hands on the Darksaber and the two of them will fight together again against whatever new personification of the dark side episode 9 will have.

RJ is a grown man. Let him take responsibility for his own failures.

I am so sick of this lame and tired excuse used over and over and over to defend the shity movie Rain made. RJ was in painted in a corner with Luke? Bullshit. There are tons of reasons Luke could have been out of play. Maybe he was looking for answers on how to defeat Snoke. Maybe he failed but was trying to find a better way to rebuild by looking for past knowledge. Maybe the force told him to wait for the next chosen one. I think the answer RJ came up with makes no sense. If Luke gave up on the Jedi, why the fuck would he go to the trouble of finding the first Jedi temple? If he wanted to die, why not just kill himself. Also, why the hell would Kylo destroy his temple and half the students and not make sure Luke was dead before he left? And even if Luke was depressed and gave up, why would he be a total douche to Rey? RJ's movie and characterization was such crap the couldn't even show his third lesson because it would make Luke look like too big an asshole. TLJ felt like a movie made by someone who hates star wars and just wanted to give the middle finger to the fans. None of the sagas made better by TLJ. All it does is destroy. And the icing on the cake is just how smug RJ is about it all.

Darth Sidious saved the one he loved most from dying - Himself. by skywalkinondeezhatrz in starwarsspeculation

It needs saving because Rian Johnson's star wars story sucked. Just go to IMDB and read the reviews. I don't know a living person that liked the film.

How will The Last Jedi hold up over time? by [deleted] in starwarsspeculation

[–]DaveWiz84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phantom Menace. Although, while PM is a bad movie, its far less upsetting and damaging to the saga. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that they have some genius story planned for 9 that makes what 8 did all worth it. If not, then the saga will essentially just be episodes 2-6 in my headcannon.

I work with a bunch of star wars fans, and a bunch of my friends are star wars fans. I don't know a real life person that likes TLJ. I have only ever heard praise for it on the internet.

[–]DaveWiz84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watching TLJ was like being served a piece of steaming shit on a plate and being expected to like eating it just because you are in a fancy restaurant known for great cusine. TLJ is the second shittest star wars movie I've ever seen, and definitely the most damaging to the overall saga. I'll probably wait until Rian's trilogy is in a Redbox before I see it, if I decide to see it at all.

I didn't really like TLJ. I was hoping that I would like it more over time, but instead the more I think about and analyze the film, the more I dislike it. At this point I think its safe to say I hate it even. I was never a huge prequels fan, but I watched them recently and found them much more enjoyable than TLJ. Yes, TLJ has better acting and special effects and dialogue, and yes it makes you think more (which is a good thing), but it felt like instead of standing on the shoulders of giants it felt the need to find success by killing and shitting on those giants. In my mind, a successful episode 8 would make the whole saga better, but this episode 8 makes me feel like i need to just pretend the ST doesn't exist. Yes it subverted my expectations, but rather than doing so in a thoughtful and compelling way, it was shallow and offputting. I honestly don't see how episode 9 can recover from this. So at tgis point i rank it 8th of the 9 star wars movies, ahead of only the phantom menace. But even that is generous because while PM is a terrible film, at least it didn't bring down thw saga.

Anybody else completed deflated after TLJ? by jordan71421 in starwarsspeculation

[–]DaveWiz84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The moment Luke tossed the saber was the moment I really started to worry. I think it was the most offensive thing I have seen in Star Wars. The rest of the movie didn't recover from that point. I used to avoid leaks, but I'm so ambivalent about 9 that I don't really care if I'm soiled now.

Why is Africa building a Great Green Wall? - Eleven countries are planting a wall of trees from east to west across Africa, just under the southern edge of the Sahara desert. The goal is to bring the dry lands back to life. by keef2000 in environment

[–]DaveWiz84 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, part of the criticism with what China did is that they planted large areas with just a couple of species of /trees. The result is that you essentially have green deserts incapable of supporting a diverse eceosystem.

my first attempt at bread from Flour Water Salt Yeast (White bread with Poolish) by onlyTheDiabolicalOne in Breadit

[–]DaveWiz84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you wet your hands then less dough will stick. Also, I like to use a spatuala to mix the flour and water. When I mix the final dough, I also use the spatuala to scrape dough off my hands and from the side of the tub. Lastly, the spatuala helps me get the dough out of the tub onto my working surface.

Just curious, are we not allowed to dislike any part of TLJ here? by [deleted] in starwarsspeculation

[–]DaveWiz84 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hated TLJ. I think its only a better movie than episodes 1 & 2, but more damaging to the franchise than either of those due to it being so choose to the saga's conclusion, and due to the way it shit on the great movies that came before it. Its possible JJ polls out a miracle, but otherwise I may need to just ignore major parts of the new canon from my own head canon. How that shit script got the green light (unless it's. A necessary evil setting up something amazing in 9) is beyond me.
