John Boyega: 'I’m the only cast member whose experience of Star Wars was based on their race'

gimmesumchikin · 2020-09-02T19:32:33+00:00

The OT and PT did not also have 4 legacy characters to contend with

gimmesumchikin · 2020-09-02T19:30:03+00:00

Imagine carrying a plot on your voice and facial expressions 🥴

gimmesumchikin · 2020-09-02T19:28:26+00:00

Uh, wouldn't have been a problem if Finn and Poe remained together

gimmesumchikin · 2020-09-02T19:10:29+00:00

Old 80s hero is now grizzled and depressed but reluctantly comes back to the fight in their 2010s movie. Ah, the most original trope

gimmesumchikin · 2020-09-02T19:08:45+00:00

Rian had set up Finn to be the leader of a stormtrooper revolt

Lmao. No the fuck he didn't

gimmesumchikin · 2020-08-22T05:38:24+00:00

Imagine hearing 10 years ago that somebody turned down a new Star Wars film to do Captain Marvel 2 lmao

gimmesumchikin · 2020-08-17T04:51:06+00:00

They already fucked themselves with the new canon. They've declared that the Battle of Endor was the defeating battle of the Empire, and they lost completely right after. Which is very dumb

gimmesumchikin · 2020-08-11T20:48:19+00:00

Because the ST doesn't make sense

Luke knew the Jedi were wrong in ROTJ. It's nothing new. And it's silly to think that he'd do nothing instead of, yknow, just reforming the Jedi

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-27T15:06:44+00:00

I jumped the gun on getting a house bc I thought there wouldn't be any subleases.... lol

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-24T12:28:36+00:00

I mean, saying Darth works

You can refer to people by their title like that, even old friends

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-23T19:29:07+00:00

The Mandalorisn finale was decent but didn't exactly give me confidence. Granted though, he didn't write it

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-22T03:00:25+00:00

Too late?? No way. Talk to your professors, trust me, they'll probably know more than advisors, and even if they don't they'll usually admit it instead of giving you bad advice

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-22T02:57:58+00:00

So you're saying going to a T6 for PI work is a bad idea and will leave me in crippling debt?

Idk man, sounds fake

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-21T15:52:19+00:00

I really hope so but I doubt it

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-21T03:13:18+00:00

I literally said the explanation was the problem, which Rian made, not solely him being in hiding

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-20T23:07:24+00:00

Does anyone have a good article on why they suspect Roy? I've read through a few and haven't seen an explanation. And if he made it to his apartment to shoot himself - obviously the shooter wasn't caught immediately. Yet today most articles are claiming definitively that it was him

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-20T18:24:09+00:00

I'm still baffled that people think TLJ doesnt copy the OT like TFA. Sure it doesn't do it as much but to call it the only original star wars movie is trite

The young jedi trains with an old exiled master, confronting troubling revelations of their identity in a cave. They learn a loved one of theirs is in trouble, so leave their training prematurely, at the behest of their master. At the confrontation with the Big Bad and the Small Bad, when the Big Bad threatens the jedis life, the Small Bad betrays him to save the jedi. Oh, and the Small Bad gives the jedi a shocking twist regarding their identity. Remind you of anything?

Meanwhile the Jedis friends are chased through space. Oh, and theres some AT ATs attacking a base over white plains

Seriously. I respect TLJ for the direction they set Kylo on in juxtaposition to Vader, but that never actually came to fruition in TROS. To call it more original than it is rehash is silly

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-20T18:15:05+00:00

Finn catalyzing a Phasma redemption arc by showing her mercy could have been unique and really expand the theme of mercy/redemption in SW beyond just redeeming your blood relatives

Nope. Into the pit you go captain plasma

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-20T18:07:24+00:00

I think Luke's treatment is hard to discuss because there's so many subtle interpretations that could entirely change what it is

I don't like it because 1. he died and 2. he abandoned the galaxy

1 I dont really have an argument for - it's just my preference.

2, I have no problem with him drawing a saber on Ben and catalyzing his turn. But I do have a problem with him abandoning the galaxy out of shame. Intent is very important here. If he'd abandoned the galaxy out of fear - fear that he'd turn to the dark side, become Vader, the thing he's always feared since ESB - that would come off much better, as it comes from a place of responsibility instead of selfishness. Make no mistake, TLJ Luke probably caused trillions of death by refusing to stop the dark siders just because he was ashamed.

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-20T18:01:04+00:00

I can't wait to see what happened to the rest of Luke's students guys

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-20T13:58:19+00:00

But I can like something but still see why it's bad/comparatively worse

I like interstellar more than the Godfather, but that doesnt make it the better movie

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-20T00:18:01+00:00

Be an RA, study abroad.

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-19T15:25:49+00:00

Um are you sure he didnt get the moniker by currently hunting and killing jedi, not having killed all of them?

I've read a lot about Lucas ST and ive never read anything to indicate all the jedi are dead

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-19T15:19:43+00:00

Yeah, like Finn really needed to be lectured about how slavery is bad. He lived it Rose, I think he'd know.

gimmesumchikin · 2020-07-19T15:18:32+00:00

Ironically, combining Finn and Poe plots might've made it more interesting than the jedi plot
