To go along with this, people complain how the good guys screwed up. Yes they did. That was the point. Johnson was trying to establish the First Order as a real threat. He couldn't just have Luke Skywalker and the resistance stomp all over them this movie. They are setting up a continuing...
Same. The whole Lwaxana/Picard thing takes on a whole new meaning if she is telling the truth. I figure that he checked her out when she came on board, she read his mind and wouldn't drop it. We all might have a passing thought now and again and but her being who she is couldn't take it as a...
Yea I figured Carl would never die. Just as he got interesting they kill him off. Shame. I understand the actor wanted off the show but I never understand why they need to kill him off. Have him die a mysterious death like fall into a river so he can come back (and better than hiding under a...
Revisiting this topic, I would send an army in and have them all controlled by the mothership. My mothership would have a Windows OS for some odd reason. Then, if that mothership was destroyed, because it was hacked by Jeff Goldbloom, then my entire army would collapse.
Or
I would send all my...
So I looked up Fuller's credits and he has a pretty bad track Record.
Hannibal - canceled after 3 seasons.
Pushing Daisies - canceled after 2 seasons.
Dead Like Me - cancelled after 2 season
Wonderfalls - cancelled after 1 season
STD - left halfway through 1st season
American gods - left after...
if Disney fired Rion Johnson I am sure there are plenty of other studios who will line up to sign a director who did 1.3 billion dollar box office movie. I don't think Rion Johnson is worried if he is fired.
Everyone knows Carrie Fisher died. If fans can't make allowances for her not being in Ep9 and the story might not flow perfectly because of her death - then they aren't true fans and need to sit down and shut up. Real life happens.
Black mirror has some disturbing themes and is thought provoking. But some episodes are hit or miss. It is not for everyone. Watch it or don't but TV shows that aren't crime procedures, mindless sitcoms or reality TV are so rare that I enjoy it.
Rion Johnson was trying to present the characters with flaws. Luke made a mistake and he had to deal with that mistake. That mistake has horrible, horrible consequences. I guess you just want Luke Skywalker to be perfect.
This route allows the story to be different than the original trilogy...
What if you walked into your nephew's room and had a vision, It turns out he is Hitler before he rose to power. I think the best of us would be tempted to off Hitler if we had a flash of what he was going to do. Luke having a moment of weakness is not that hard to imagine. Plus Snoke may have...
the scene was fine. Just one more example of how awful the Star Wars fan base is and how they complain about everything. They complain how Leia doesn't use her powers then they complain when she does. They complain the scene is unrealistic in a universe with laser swords, FTL travel, and magic...
Also, when the Empire rises up Yoda confronts Palpatine, fails and runs off into hiding. Obi Wan also runs off into hiding. Neither joined up with the rebels after that and fought the Empire. So the Jedi seem to have a track record of running off into hermitage when things go wrong. Luke is just...
More world (galaxy) building. I like it so far but I would like to see the Union, know more about other galactic empires, see more ships and see more aliens.
I am at work and everyone looked at me when I couldn't stop laughing.
The only thing missing is more Empire callbacks. They need to go to cloud city and Hoth somehow.
