Star Wars: Episode IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

[jye4ever]

Everyone and everything in the Star Wars universe died a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Even Wicket.

Even Grogu.

Just cause it happened doesn't mean I ever needed to see it. I'd have rather had my last glimpse of the characters I was raised on be of them riding off into the sunset or settling down to be surrounded by family, like Rocky.

Would you have preferred if Rocky jumped in the ring with Drago Jr and got brutally killed and then his CGI body would fall weightlessly from the ring? Does that make a movie "better?"

Wicket is immortal and a Super Saiyan and lives with the resurrected Leia in Cloud City where they hold dominion over all they survey. Rian said so. Canon.

From now i’ll refer to Marcia Lucas as Captain Obvious because did she really think her big revelation that there hasn’t been a SW movie without major problems since ESB was something we didn’t know already.

sigh…this is a story why

It probably would have made any of the last few Rocky movies better...

To sell her book and slow news cycle. SW anything is still big news.

No I meant why is this a revelation for our fellow Star Wars geeks they know better than that.

Shame on them for taking the bait lol

The OT v PT v ST debate rages on.

It's a story because Marcia Lucas played a very important role in the success of the Star Wars franchise. She knows the characters as well as anyone. And she went no holds barred repeatedly calling the ST what it is... awful/terrible while labeling Kennedy and JJ buffoons. And she hilariously said "you can quote me" . And fans hate the ST, so it's a story. It's just sour grapes for you and Khev because you have doubled and tripled down too many times to return from la la land.

It's also amusing that Marcia Lucas just happens to be a woman, which presents a problem for the ST loving "journalists" online because they don't have the neckbeard angle to attack with.

Yep I love how this is supposed to be a shockingly awesome dunk on Disney SW as if it in any way compares to George Lucas himself already complaining about the the story choices in the ST, lol.

Today's headline: "Never mind that the creator of SW was upset that they didn't use all of his ideas, the ex-janitor of LFL just announced that he's mad that Han died in a stunning new exposé!" dozens of YouTubers immediately celebrate the "epic burn"

It's not her book. It's a quote from a book she was interviewed for.

in an interview for J.W. Rinzler’s book “Howard Kazanjian: A Producer’s Life,” which examines the prolific producer’s life, including his time on the “Star Wars” franchise.

You speak as someone who just doesn't know his SW history. Irvin Kershner and Gary Kurtz blasted ROTJ. Kurtz then blasted the PT, Marcia Lucas literally wept at how terrible it was. Now she's blasting the ST, so what. I guess you need to burn your ROTJ discs or have you just doubled down too many times to return from la la land? Yeah that's what I thought, lol.

 

[Khev]

Lol. If that’s the case then rots made her jump for joy in the theater cause it saved the PT

So true!

Pablo Hidalgo and SWT guy just got simultaneously uninvited for Thanksgiving Dinner at the Marcia Lucas homestead.

“Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!!!”

U missed the part where he wanted anakin to turn and kill mace I guess.

 

[Khev]

Right because he knew that Anakin would be stupid enough to not simply cite the line from the meme, lol.

I'll tolerate disinterested Ford and inept Fett for the sake of Jabba's Palace, the Rancor, the Sail Barge, zooming Speeder Bikes, Scout Troopers, Endor forest, Luke confrontation with Vader/Emperor, a very satisfying ending for our heroes, and our beloved Kenner Toys

So you do understand the concept of liking a SW movie without giving a rip about what past employees of LFL have to say about it.

Sure you can dismiss Marcia Lucas if you like. But it doesn't make the scathing nature of her comments any less hilarious

Oh they were indeed hilarious, which is why I posted them. Fortunately I have no problem enjoying a good SW roast (on *any* of the movies) without it impacting my enjoyment of them.

This might very well be simultaneously the most horrible and most entertaining thread on these boards.
