SW8 : The Last Jedi
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2017 6:16 pm
So, we've got enough trailer material to talk about that new flick now.
Of course, SPOILER ALERT for anyone coming here.
You've been warned!
It does seem that, through the larger trailer's montage, that Kylo is pushing his own fighter through the hangar bay of a major Republican (?) ship, on which happens to be his mother it seems, Leia Organa (played by recently deceased actress Carrie Fisher). She doesn't even speak in that trailer, but considering what happened in real life, it's most likely a forgone conclusion that Ren will simply complete his own kind of twisted murderous vengeance by cutting all family ties.
The trailer AND the poster try hard to make it look like Luke may have veered towards a darker path, more than we think. Hard to know. Maybe he'll be using Marry Sue* as some kind of assassin like Yoda and Obiwan did (yes, they essentially only trained Luke into a killer to get rid of Palpatine and Vader).
Since the title alludes to a possible closure to the Jedi cycle, there may be substance in that idea.
However, it may also be a vague reference to the general idea that the era of the Jedi really has come to an end and they may be replaced by something else. Or at least perhaps that's what Luke may have tried before his likely failure.
Another point of interest being the title itself: hard to know if it's singular or plural.
There new AT-STs and even bigger, beefier gorilla-like hunchback walkers (don't know their name), which I think is not a bad decision: they've always been more symbolic than practical. The idea was probably taken from one of the EU's late drawings for a card game. The giant walkers have an extra forward very heavy cannon.
Snoke... I thought the guy was really overcompensating, what with the huge hologram I almost expected him to be in fact a sort of lilliput in the movie. But it seems he's "just" a twisted human/oid.
Mind you, when it comes to size issues, the Supremacy has nothing to envy to the Executor, now 400% wider!!!
Admitedly, it does look very cool but I suspect it will be another wasted asset.
Marry Sue seems to go to some secret LOTResque wooden grotto wherein may lie a great secret about the Force, perhaps a source?
Geez, if they really go with the idea that Luke wants to close the original Force tap once and for all, I swear I wish I had put a copyright on my post from a couple years ago. :)
Still, it took me a ton of viewings to realize that we were seeing books in what is in fact a small room, although it looked much bigger to me and I thought it was some kind of ancient landing platform.
Chewie is probably still mourning the death of Han and... found a furry chicken-penguin thingy pet to have fun with (we don't know to know), which we're all sure will sell like hotcakes when the merchandising rolls out (don't be cynical, it's there just to be sell plush stuff to kids, we know it).
Ren has some silly, fake looking fish-like stuff stuck on his right cheek. Looks like it's a herring fillet picked out of a jar of rollmops.
Wow, scarry.
Marry Sue seems to be kidnapped by Rylo who leads a squad into the weird cavernous crystal-volcanoish scenery, which is also the location of a pursuit between the Millenium Penguin and nuTies. This world seems to be frozen on the surface and even has ice-wolves as part of its wild fauna (we see these beasts running into a Yavin-like base which a massive door closing down).
There's an X-wing of some sorts that appears to have a massive engine added to the usual four-piece set.
We've got to wonder if this movie will be hinging around a solid script enchanted by a proper direction or end in another clusterfuck of plot nonsense and shameless nostalgia exploitation like SW7 was.
Some other spoilers and so-called leaks are just so advanced that even midly spoiler-consumers should really think twice about exposing themselves to them.
One seems almost too contrieved in bending the prequels's theory of the Chosen One into some kind of sinister conspiracy to [bweep bweep bweep], making the whole Balance of the Force some kind of cynical joke.
* sorry but her character was so damned bland in SW7 that I simply can't remember her name. Rena? Lana? Mara?
Of course, SPOILER ALERT for anyone coming here.
