[Closed] The Last Jedi

Am I the only one that quite likes those new AT-ATs?

Less sure about the Poundland guinea pig, mind.

Seems a shame they have spoiled Leia getting killed

The trailers for Force Awakens and Rebel One both had fake spoilers and deleted scenes in, I wouldn't take much at face value.

Daisy Ridley still looks shit with a lightsaber tbh, she swings it like a mop. Darth Maul'd cut her into force winalot. But otherwise, looking forward to it massively. Trailer not a patch on the Force Awakens one, it made me want to rock out... But then it really was a bloody brilliant trailer.

Where did the First Order get all its cash from?

Well they have a couple of MPs and Theresa May wanted to form a government sooooo

JarJar binks thing, Crap looking AT-AT's and Speeders that apparently have high speed agricultural ploughing implements. It's no Rogue One, it's disturbingly reminiscent of Episodes I-III.

At least Mark Hamils acting has improved a bit though.

It probably helps if you're invested in the franchise. I'm not, I typed out something about it being just a load of noisy cgi and over acting but each to their own.

Can you all get off the Star Wars booking sites and phones so I can flippin well buy some Blade Runner tickets!

By the way, Blade Runner is ace.

Are you sure? 😆

Where did the First Order get all its cash from? And how on earth did it hide building a Death Star and a load of AT ATs?

Don't start thinking about the logistics of the First Order.... 😆

looks like a return to cgi overkill, akin to the first 3 (awful) prequels

That Porg thing better not have much screen time, it has the potential to ruin the film

she's not some mega trained lightsabre bitch. 🙄 Yet. 😈

looks good, like the cute little pokemon thingy,

oh god, I've just outed myself at a nerd, haven't I 😆

Who's that in the skimpy tennis skirt in the opening shot?

Are you sure?

Come on, it may be a little fruity - but at least he's not the wooden actor that he was in Jedi.

I agree with the overuse of CGI, Rogue One felt pretty authentic because of the lower use of CGI and classic camera work.

Also has the potential to be awesome comic relief and the best thing in the film.

I grant you, it's almost certainly what you just said, but still.

It was full of CGI?

Of course there was plenty of CGI, they used a lot of actual models as well though. It quite clearly looked better than the Force Awakens - to me anyway, it looked much more like Star Wars.

I've got a bad feeling about this

I’m going to come right out and say it. The ewoks were the best thing in RotJ and I liked The Force Awakens. Looking forward to this after. It may help to further dilute the taste of those god awful prequels

It's obvs... boyega is going to turn bad and kylo ren is reaching out to him.

cute little pokemon thingy

Well that's that ruined then...

Apparently he has his own spin-off series in the works. Animated film, tv series and general expanded universe on the way.

I bet there's some great conversation on-board the millennium falcon now with those two at the helm.

Funkmaster, there is no need to post gratuitous photos of Ann Widdecombe on STW, even in a thread discussing monsters from Star Wars.

Han wouldn't have let a Porg sit on the dashboard because they shit everywhere.

I thought a porg was a Caucasian female with a prominent posterior.

pawg. 😉

Have we done OzzyMan's commentary? (swear warning)

Episode 7 The Force Awakens has been digitally enhanced

Buying tickets two months in advance for The Last Jedi is ridiculous, but I've got mine just in case.

Just realised where we've seen Chewbacca's new co-pilot before:

I won't post a link to it for fear of unwanted spoilers but the piece in The Guardian today...

OMFG!!!!

Googled it, interesting

And there's another snippet of spoilyness if you look up the name of the new film in German or French for example

"Le Jedi Ultimate: luke et leia l'ont fait totalement, ew"

😀
Pas avec Google traduction. Sorry, meant to say the official name of the film in France and Germany (amongst others)

Ohhh, so that backs up the suggestion the poster makes too.

My guess is that Luke will not turn to the dark side per se. He has simply realised that manipulation of the force by humans has caused all the universes problems and so he has decided to get rid of all the Jedi & Sith. Thus creating an agnostic utopia for all the little people who prefer to fight with blasters. Oh, wait...

First impressions are good. Key advice, avoid spoilers (no spoliers in this):

I'll be starting a "seen it" thread at about 3am Thursday!

I'll be starting a "seen it" thread at about 3am Thursday!

I'm at the BFI Imax at 7am on Thursday. Told work I'll be late in...

5pm Thursday for me and my eldest.

8am on Saturday, avoiding threads and spoilers till then

Saturday for me, any of you spoil it and heads will roll...

Friday at 20.10 for me, so glad this thread didn't contain spoilers!

Saturday 12.30pm. Cannae wait!

Thursday at 00:01am, Friday at 14:30, Sunday at 19:00- all booked. I had given out conflicting info to various groups (a particular friend, a work group, a group of other friends respectively) so I'm now seeing it 3 times in about 72 hours.

But I'm actually secretly pleased 🙂

Spoiler Alert

It's about a plucky bunch of young people who spend the film destroying a large military installation.

No spoilers but are we allowed wild speculation?

My speculation is ... Luke trains Rey, they both go to fight Kylo Ren and Luke meets his end providing a nice non-jedi revenge motif for act 3.
