If you ask me I think this confirms the theory that Luke is a Jedi.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8) teaser
Yes l think you are right.

He is so excited by the whole thing that he started speaking Rylothian. |
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8) teaser
I hope this film does something different rather just the re-hash of the first and third films that the last one was. Looks like it will be another Empire Strikes Back where all hope is almost lost but for an "I'm your father" moment, just before Luke dies. That's my guess..

Rehash of 2 = good. How about something original? |
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8) teaser
There is very little of anything original coming out of Hollywood these days....I'm lucky if there is one film in a year that I want to go to the cinema to watch these days.
|
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8) teaser
I think Rogue One was phenomenal and a must see at the cinema. Looking at the big original films for this year I would also mention Thor and Fast 8.
Looking back at my lists I would say the Marvel stuff in general (e.g. X-men and CA: Civil War), the Divergent series, Now You See Me, Star Trek, The Accountant, Arrival, Passengers, Taken, American Sniper, Ex Machina, Project Almanac, Jurassic World, London Has Fallen, Hunger Games, Edge of Tomorrow, Deep Water Horizon. Admittedly 90% of the stuff is remakes and sequels these days but not all of it is bad. The new Spiderman coming out this year is a remake but it looks like it is going to be AMAZING! |

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8) teaser
Luke was a Jedi, now he is a grey Jedi, as he became disillusioned with the Jedi teachings, after The return of the Jedi he went to old Jedi temples throughout the galaxy looking or holocrons and what he learnt he knew not to be true, that is why as explained in the force awakened he went in search of the first Jedi temple to gain the knowledge of the original Jedi.
the original Jedi were known as Je'daii Order where there was no light or dark side only balance. this is why at the end of the trailer he says the Jedi must end as he now knows that the only way there will be peace is if the jedi and sith orders either die or go back to the original teachings. |

You really need to give it a chance. I am more cynical than most people and as soon as I heard they were making standalone movies a few years ago I sighed and moaned and said they were just doing it for the £££. When the trailer for Rogue One came out I was speechless. I went to the midnight premiere for it and was blown away and it is now my favourite Star Wars movie out of the whole lot. I think some of the cheesy cute animals spoil it for me because you can tell they have been put in for effect (like the remastered versions of the original trilogy) but I like to focus on the story and the characters. This one is going to be special because it is the last time we are ever going to see Leia. |

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8) teaser
Where did you get that info from. I dont believe they are going to put them up for advanced booking before Justice League comes out. Last year they wouldnt release the tickets for Rogue One until Fantastic Beasts was out and that was something like 20th November.
---------- Post added at 15:36 ---------- Previous post was at 14:57 ---------- I have just got an email from Odeon. Tickets go on sale tomorrow morning at 0700. |
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8) teaser
The Last Jedi trailer is out.
|
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8) teaser
tickets booked :) I remember this happened last year, they were meant to go on sale 23:00 for Rogue one, but I got myself ready logged in at 22:30 and got them.
|
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8) teaser
Odeon are absolutely terrible. It is 07:15 and the tickets still aren't available.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8) teaser
Not yet, you can tell loads of people are on it because it is very sluggish. It crashed last year when they putthe tickets up for Rogue One at midnight. It took me 40 mins before i finally got them.

Got my ticket booked. Midnight showing at my Glasgow Cineworld sold out in 2D and 3D so have had to book the double feature showing with Force Awakens starting at 9pm on the 13th.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8) teaser
I got my tickets at 6:30 for Odeon, like last year the "broke" the embargo, I remember year before it was painfully slow when they went on sale.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8) teaser
tickets booked at Showcase :) for the 14th :) :D :) :D
|
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
Dunno how I will cope though as working 8-6 on the day then cinema from 9pm till about 2.30am I think. Will be totally knackered. Many energy drinks I think!
New trailer does look awesome and some cool looking scenes. Am sure many won't play out like we think going from the clips. |
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
I wouldn't be able to do it. I could just about manage it if I was off work the following day and go home from the cinema knowing I could go to sleep but there is no way I could work another day. When it comes to midnight premieres (e.g. Thor, Justice League, Star Wars and Black Panther) I book the day after off so I can sleep and recover. I have booked Thursday and Friday off this year so I can go to the double bill in 2D, come home and asleep and then go and see it in 3D in the afternoon and I'll probably go again on Friday and Saturday as well.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
we are less than 2 weeks away now so here is a little teaser for you
|
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
ok so here we go. I have been putting it off because I can't believe I am going to moan about a Star Wars film but the more I think about it the more it does my head in. I have seen it three times and none of my opinions have changed since the first time I saw it. Part of my problem is that I don't quite know how to explain what is wrong with it. I have been thinking about the pros and cons in my head and the number of pros outweigh the number of cons but it is still very bad. There is something missing from it which makes it not feel like a Star Wars film. It is as if somebody had been told about Star Wars who had never seen it before, tried to make a film of what they thought Star Wars was and slapped the name on the front of it. The closest analogy I can come up with is how many people perceive the new Star Trek films. They aren't Star Trek as we know it but the difference is that there is still a Trek-ness to them and they are more Trek than not. For me, this is less Star Wars than it is Star Wars.
Spoiler:
There are good bits and bad bits to all films and most of the time they are just little niggles but you still enjoy the film. For me this wasn't Star Wars. I haven't got niggles, I have got big problems and there are too many of them and cumulatively they take away the Star Wars feel to the film. I read that Mark Hamill didn't like the story at all going into the film and now I know why. My only hope is that the next film returns to Star Wars as we know it as JJ is coming back. |
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
i thought the problem was they tried to hard to make it a star wars film, it was like they had a check list of things which have to be in it
space battle chase scene light sabre fight funny bits teaching session and then they thought, lets put a few of each of them in to make the fans happy, and then thought of a way to link the set pieces :( individually all the standard bits were good, but the stuff to hold them together in some parts was nonsense, which for me stopped me enjoying it, and then it dragged and dragged, to the point I just wanted it to end :( |
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
I have to disagree with almost all you posted general. That for me was a brilliant Star Wars film and for me the best since ESB. Yeah there were a few little niggles for me but that was all.
Rian Johnson did a fantastic job and has even been asked back for a whole new triology. |

As an example for what i was saying earlier, Rogue One had no Jedi or force in it yet it managed to capture the tone and feel of Star Wars perfectly and they kept the faith alive with samurai dude "i am one with the force and the force is with me". For me Rogue One is the best Star Wars film and in contrast TLJ just pisses all over it. It is like they tried to do it without understanding what they were doing. |
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
They obviously understood Star Wars and what the plans for the trilogy were. You are the only person that disliked it and moaned about many of the really good enjoyable Star Wars moments. The humour was great as well.
My only change would have been to remove to whole Canto Bight section. That was utterly pointless. |

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
Hmmmm, that is very disappointing because the films are completely different. For me Rogue One is a million times better than The Last Jedi (i wont write an essay explaining why) and i know some people will think the opposite but there is no way you can say the films are as good as each other.
|
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
Nobody (I know) has stated that this is as good as Rogue One - it isnt.
However, thats not the same as saying its bad - RO was a very good film. |

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
it is interesting how it has divided ppl. when I got into work after seeing it, the guy opposite me and another guy near him had the exact same negative feelings about the film, and didn't like certain scenes/aspects. Yet at the weekend I went out with some old work mates, and one asked what I thought, and I said I was disappointed, and he was surprised, as all his work mates had thought it was amazing!
You know what they say, you can't please all the fanboys all the time ;) Comparing it to Rogue One is unfair, as I think most ppl thought the reason that was so good, was that it was a good war film, set in the Star Wars universe, telling a story we wanted to hear, rather than being focused on the Star Wars Jedi mumbo jumbo :) ---------- Post added at 19:32 ---------- Previous post was at 18:29 ---------- spoilers, well duh ;) The “backlash” against Star Wars: The Last Jedi, explained link removed - as stated earlier in the thread, no spoilers, please it is an interesting observation that normally the critics hate a blockbuster, yet the great unwashed can enjoy a film on face value for what it is, it's almost like we the people sometimes want to see a film like Armageddon, and sometimes something like Schindler's List, and realise there's room for all types :) I think box office figures are often irrelevant to how "good" a film is, I think it was Waterworld which got panned, cost a stupid amount of money to make, but ppl still went to see it, because a) sometimes ppl liek a popcorn brainless bit of fun b) ppl wanted to see if it really was that bad ;) and so it got its money back, much to the annoyance of the professional critics |

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
Excellent, excellent film. Very well made, and a thoughtful piece as well, which explores issues that have previously been taken for granted in the Star Wars universe, such as the interface between destiny and self-determination. Does history inevitably repeat itself? If the Force chooses you, what can you do about it? In many ways it’s summed up by what I think is my favourite line in the entire film, which challenges so many of the assumptions we bring to a Star Wars film. Probably going to misquote it as I’ve only seen it once (so far), but here goes nothin’:
Spoiler:
Just brilliant. I’m looking for excuses to go again before the holidays are over. |
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
I really liked it too. I started reading the Thrawn Trilogy books recently (currently just started the third) so maybe that had something to do with it. If anything i wish it had been longer and spent more time on the political and learning parts.
|
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
I've just seen and loved it. There were quite a few twists, such as what Luke did with the lightsabre Rey offered him (I was totally WTF?! about that), and Kylo taking a leaf out of the book of the Sith, i.e.:
<SPOILER REMOVED - oops, sorry, didn't catch the 'no spoilers' warning until I read the rest of the thread, my bad!> I honestly didn't see that coming. I'm amazed Snoke didn't, either... But I'd still like to know who Snoke actually was, and where he'd been in the heyday of the Empire...and why Darth Sidious didn't sense his power. Plus I am not convinced Kylo told Rey the truth about her parents; if they and she were "nothing", how is it that she's so powerful with no training whatsoever, possessing an almost instinctual grasp of her abilities - as she showed in The Force Awakens; how did she know how to pull off the Jedi Mind Trick? How did she even know she could do that? It seems too obvious an answer, but I'd like to think she's either Luke's daughter, or Leia's (perhaps conceived during her estrangement from Han). That ability with the Force had to come from somewhere. Or maybe there were a few Jedi survivors other than Obi-Wan and Yoda who had the sense to go underground and bide their time, as Olee Starstone did in the novel Dark Lord: The Rise Of Darth Vader... I wonder what Rey will think when she starts seeing Force ghosts, as I'm sure she will? Knowing her, she'll likely try to brain 'em with that staff of hers! :p: Go, BB-8, go!!! He put Artoo to shame in this film! One more question I really wanted answered: how did Maz acquire Luke's lightsabre?! |
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
You beat me too it. You just need to put spoiler tags around the relevant bits you want to mention
|
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
The film has been out for two weeks now, the time for spoiler tags has passed.
if you havent seen it by now then you should not be reading threads on it, you cannot expect details to be hidden. |
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
Quote:
I think the film made it obvious that Rey's parents are significant. It spent far too long telling us they aren't. If they weren't, why go to such lengths? I suspect that her father is possibly Luke, or one of her parents is a descendant of Obi Wan (Obi Wan himself would be too old). |
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
Maybe there was disagreement between the two directors on Ray's parents. Rian Johnson does seem to have jettisoned JJ Abrams' story arcs. Snoke? Dead. Ray's parents? Not important.
I like the choice, assuming it sticks, for Ray's parents not to be another Skywalker/important figure. It also frees up the franchise to move beyond the initial three films and universe. Why does every important figure have to be related? The theme of the film is to spread it out the force and story behind Luke, Han and Leia. The choice not to have Ray's parents 'be' someone, the whole 'let the past die' stuff, the 'we're the spark that lights the fire' line and the kid at the end. They've deviated from the formula of a Star Wars film and from the story. It lets them do what they want without having to find a way to shoehorn the old characters into it. |
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
I just got back from seeing it with my Nephew.
I loved the Porgs. especially when Chewie looked like he was eating one, the ones in the Falcon. I am very disapointed it didn't have a nod to Carrie at the end, unless it came later. But my bladder was at DefCon 4 after a large coke need help. :D |

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
I thought it was good but wasn't amazed enough to be dying to watch again when the bluray comes out. Which is kinda weird as some films that aren't that great i really enjoy rewatching.
I started reading the Star Wars books lately so maybe they raised my expectations too high. Started with the Thrawn Trilogy and on the X-Wing ones at the moment and i'm enjoying them much more than the movies. |

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
Episode IX is going to be John Williams last Star Wars which will given them a fresh start for the new trilogies. I am very very curious (and we can have a little bet now) whether Dave Benioff and Dan Weiss will ask Ramin Djawadi to do it for them. It is the next logical career step for him and would be a fantastic opportunity.

Wow, he is 86 ?
If I were him I would have retired some time ago. |
Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
I think that is a testament to how much he enjoys his work. If you look back over his life he has had the opportunity to work on iconic films with iconic directors and I doubt there is a single person in the world who hasn't heard of his work. I know plenty of people who don't know him by name but everyone has heard of the Harry Potter theme, E.T theme, Imperial March etc.
There are a couple of people I would love to meet in person and John Williams is one of them. If I won the euro millions I would pay whatever it takes to spend a day with him, talk to him and have a tour of his recording studio etc. The man is a legend. |

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
Just popped into my local Sainsburys and saw this. I hope they (and other supermarkets) do more stuff like this going forward for the big films like Infinity War and Jurassic World. I am sure both of them will out-gross The Last Jedi.

Re: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Episode 8)
A excellent film IMO and certainly no dud that is for sure.
