[Film] Spolieriffic Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Discussion *SPOILERS*

[Chicken Run]

Solo said something about “feeling” something. But again, they dropped it and didn’t follow it up.

Oh, Trig! I do like your posts but it seems Star Wars is yet another thing you have simply failed to understand.
Merry Christmas, have a good one

I’ll wager he knows a shit more than you when it comes to SW, considering you were only bothering to go as you had UL pass, why the need to be so personal all the time, you bring the worse out of people, nice skill that only Dementors and Siths have mastered.

Yep, I stand by my WTF? He guys, we appear to by drowning in quick sand. I'm force sensitive. Wanted those to be my last words.

No issue with him being force sensitive, just a bit weird he'd bring it up at that point.

Yeah that is a bit weird.

Obviously you had reasons to give up your Nibble account. Do you not think it's time to give up this one, and start afresh?

I thought this was an interesting point, and quite a valid one. Vader's sacrifice has been somewhat undercut by the return of the emperor, hasn't it?

an odd view, Vader sacrifice is an act to save Luke. a sacrifice is not really dependent on the success of the act.

too many people read too much into Star Wars, partly due to a proliferation of extended universe myths, legends that can open things to interpretation (and revision by Lucas himself!). Palpatine survival is not unprecedented in that body of work, Darth Maul survives his argument with a lightsabre and garbage chute, to be found during Clone Wars series in some remote world sewn onto a giant spider, like an arachnid Centaur. yes, there were some weak plot bits the arrival of a rebel fleet, C3PO memory, the massive fleet of planet destroying ships the Emperor didnt simply send out once built. but its ok if we just let it wash over and accept is it fantasy. i enjoyed it.

(point on Helm's deep: annoys me that the Riders turn up in the morning, supposed to be a company banished but theres a few thousand of them. where they been during the Rohan exodus?? i let is wash over, for the sake of the film making spectacle)

Further to Darth Maul surviving his decapitation he turned up alive and kicking in Solo too!!!

 

[RossyG]

Maul wasn't decapitated, he was cut horizontally across the waist.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Lucas said once in an interview that Maul was deliberately sliced in half and plummeted to his death so that it was impossible to bring him back and they'd be no speculation about if he survived. Someone didn't read the memo in Star wars land.

Apparently the original idea was to have him being more force sensitive, he managed to hold his own with ren in TFA

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Rey should be congratulated for making it through three films without even getting a bloody nose.

Quite the achievement given all those violent fighting scenes and conflicts she took part in.

She was unconscious a couple of times, and immobilised a couple of other times. Punching each other on the nose isn't really a Star Wars thing.

 

[Easy 10]

Stormtroopers were reassuringly shithouse weren't they. In one scene, three of them were chasing directly behind Rey, Fin and Poe down a corridor, with their guns obligingly pointed downwards. Naturally the heroes turn round and blast away at leisure. The First Order also seem to continue to build handy little cubby-holes in all their corridors for rebels to take cover in. Will they ever LEARN ?

Good film though. Good, but not great.

Just like in the originals then. At the in-laws for Christmas, so when the TV got too shit for me, I watched episodes 4 & 5 on the laptop (sky go). It's funny just how bad at shooting the Stormtroopers are (except when they kill the Jawas, and although we don't see it, we're told they're really accurate).

Well, to be fair we're told their shots were too accurate for Sand People, not that they were accurate. It would be like saying Stephens is accurate at shooting because he is more accurate than say Ryan Harley.

Mmm. 'Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.'
