    now i'm kind of glad lucas didn't get a invite.
    I mean, one of the movies that was a mess was one that he made, and most of the problems in TLJ was because of his shaky foundations

    here's a nice little vid about a guy breaking down the obi-wan/vade fight from ROTS. it opened my eyes a bit on this fight. including a debunking of "i have the high ground" argument.

    and based on spoilers, they don't seem to wanna take too much stock from TLJ.

    Johnson had plenty to work with from TFA, but didn't for some reason.

    I thought that as a movie it wasn't that bad all things considered but my biggest takeaway was that it's biggest problem was that a lot of things it wanted to do and plots it wanted to explore should have either been introduced and/or developed in the previous movie, and really that big chunk of wasted time in the middle of movie 8 really grates on my nerves right now

    Also Redlettermedia has ruined me, cause dear God I can't help but cringe at people who applaud stuff during movies

    I liked their recent Nerd News, speaking of redletter.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    Because 'catering to fans' is a mistake, in his words.

    Which ... make of that what you will.

    the big mistake was not sticking with one director's creative vision for the entire trilogy and trying to do this new director for every movie, dear God did that end up being a disaster

    Well, Abrams did TFA as well.

    ... they just needed to not use Rian Johnson, and just stick with Abrams.

    Steve Orlando is generally really good at comics
    His run on Midnighter was awesome. I liked his Justice League stuff too.

    yeah but JJ wasn't originally supposed to come back, that was damage control after Rian and having all the directors they kept picking either pull out or do something bad like Trank, JJ should have been in it for the long run from the get go

    Pretty much. It's like trying to write a book series by changing authors every book.
    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

    they really didn't start doing that until the Yuuzhan Vong series

    incidentally that's where I felt the EU fell apart into crap
