Downtown Rumbles: Sharp's Scotch Bar

[Hiromi]

It's unfortunate to bring it up but I am a bit selfishly relieved her filming for episode 8 is done(apparently she had a larger role as well, so hopefully it'll be a fitting send off for her), but now I wonder how it'll be handled, if they'll do what Star Trek did for Leonard Nimoy and have her death off screen and referenced, or if they'll incorporate it into one of the next two films or not.

No need to frame it as selfish. Think of it as a way to give Carrie Fisher a heartfelt goodbye, just as people did with Paul Walker, Heath Ledger and other great actors who died while or shortly after making a great work. Even if Episode VIII turns out to be horrible, we can celebrate Carrie Fisher's performance in it like we did Raul Julia in Street Fighter.

Even if it is terrible, it still won't be terrible enough to be the worst movie in the franchise. TPM will always hold that spot.

Menace is mostly just boring Jar Jar aside, I actually found attack of the clones far worse as a film

The direction in AotC was worse, but the script for TPM is just absolutely atrocious.

Unless they pull a "Halloween 6" and remove most of her scenes from the movie and then dedicate it her.

Nice segue to reference the two hilarious episodes that The Cinema Snob did on that movie:

Honestly, it's worth it just for the Darth Maul fight scene. I thought that The Force Awakens was the worst Star Wars movie.

And what horrible news about Carrie Fisher. RIP.

Eh, not the worst, it just feels like a retread of "A New Hope". And it pretty much turns the original trilogy into a shaggy dog story, considering that the universe is pretty much right where it was at the beginning of "A New Hope".

Also, it shows that Luke truly embraced the way of the Jedi, which can be summed up as "When the going gets rough, hide like a coward and let someone else handle it".

The Force Awakens, along with Rogue One, are great Star Wars movies that (for me anyway) amend the humdrum of the prequel trilogy.

There are only 5 star wars movies.

Rogue One
A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
and The Force Awakens

I....actually don't *hate* the Phantom Menace. And as a kid I found Jar Jar hilarious. Plus I liked most of the Revenge of the Sith. Really, the only thing I really didn't like was the first two thirds of Attack of the Clones, which threatened to bore me to tears. Even then, it had little gems like Obi Wan mind tricking the death stick dealer and fighting Jango Fett.

But yes, The Force Awakens and Rogue One are vastly superior movies.

"Why do I sense we've picked up another pathetic lifeform?"

True, but TPM had one massive redeeming feature that AotC and RotS could not claim.

A complete absence of the acting-and-charisma-vacuum that is Hayden Christensen.
