Man this reminds me of how excited I was for the sequels.

[–] ShadowCat@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I still have issues with the film, but I do think TFA did a decent job at setting up the sequel trilogy, just a lack of planning for the overall story and letting each director choose what they wanted their film to be about is what really messed it up, like as much as I dislike TLJ, the worst part is that it does nothing to continue what was setup before it and doesn't really end on a good note of where the final film will go

Should have had her taking a shit in R2D2s decapitated head. That would have done a better job of setting expectations for those movies.

TFA left me feeling like the possibilities were endless, man...

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I mean sure as long as every possibility ended up with a blown up death star bigger than the last

is that a hovering BB8 with claw attachment?

Theres a script out there for episode 9 entitled Dual of the Fates, theres also a lot of corresponding concept artwork to go with it.

Sounded infinitely better than the film we ended up with.

Here's a very long video All about it.

they should just let the concept artists make those movies. their shit is always 1000x better than the end product
