Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Rian Johnson, December 15, 2017) Movie • Page 322

I'm ready to own this movie and apparently there's a rumor of a March 27th release date for the BluRay.

 

I love Benicio and I actually liked his character in this but come on, how did they let that stutter get past the first couple takes before realizing it wasn't working and just telling him to drop it

 

The stutter was probably the worst part of the film for me. I'm a big BDT fan so was surprised his part would be the most jarring bit. So I totally agree - not sure why they wanted that for the character.

 

‘The Last Jedi’ Loses Sales Momentum, Raising Concern for Disney

 

2nd highest $ ever yea very concerning

 

Right? These articles are so interesting to me. Maybe it didn't perform as expected/anticipated/whatever, and maybe they are discussing 'Plan B,' but when people try to make it sound like a disaster...woof.

 

Just noticed the term “chrome dome” is also used in s3e1 Of clone wars referring to droid soldiers.

 

An audience Q & A was held last night with Rian and you can watch the recorded stream on the IMAX Facebook page.

 

More on the score and possible references to the other Star Wars scores - I was listening a mix of all the Star Wars music and the end of "Passage Through the Planet Core" from Phantom Menace sounds almost exactly like "The Spark" from TLJ. Not sure if the motif shows up anywhere else in the prequels at the moment but I'll definitely be listening for it.

 

This pic was taken after the Q&A and I kind of love it.

 

Star Wars: Rian Johnson Explains How the Prequels Influenced Kylo's Final 'The Last Jedi' Scene

 

lol yea I emphatically rescind my comments about Rian Johnson being jaded. I feel stupid for even thinking that after watching this.Such a great interview. Really even love how Frosty made a point to tell the audience how usually they have publicists telling him when to stop and Rian didnt bring one and literally tries to answer every question and do anything possible to make fans happy. I love him so much. Hes actually becoming one of just my favorite people in general and legit inspires me. Frosty and Collider did a great job with this event.

I highly recommend fans of the movie to listen to the whole thing but interesting take aways for me:

- 23:15 The throne room scene kylo isnt just kneeling and waiting. His reactions are big and hes making decisions throughout that scene.

- 30:00The decision for reys parents to be nobody and the whole theme of being from nothing wasnt the main focus. It was more just the most difficult adversity for her to deal with and having to rely on herself

1:02:30 - Good stuff on his take on Luke and his arc and death and working with Mark.

- I knew the rose and DJ were the angel and devil on the shoulder of Finn (and im glad he used that analogy), but all of the leads had a devil and angel. Rey and Kylo and Luke. Poe and Leia and Holdo. He didnt say this but Kylo would be Snoke and Rey

1:07:30 - Love his description of Rey in the cave. He had that image really before he starting writing the story or anything. "Infinite line of possibilites of self"

1:13:30 - Favorite Carrie story is cute.

1:15 - really cute moment where they name the Porg that ends up on the Falcon. I know this its stupid, but I really hope that becomes his official name.

- 1:19 his favorite line (and one of mine) was written by Benecio. Benecio didnt like what Rian wrote when Finn tells him hes wrong and changed the line to a simple "maybe".

 

Looks like there is one more version to preorder ha they always get ya!

Target
Best Buy
Here’s one the UK steelbooks (also a 4K version)

 

Gonna throw it out there that BB9E doesn’t really deserve to be on the artwork he’s in it for what 5 seconds total ?

 

True. According to Rian theres a really long sequence that was cut that he probably was apart of. He notices them, then probably pursues them and I think BB8 and him fight probably. Probably made the graphic for posters before the movie was finished which I think was in September.

Edit: but yeah. I agree

 

Lol so good. Of all the YouTube parody series, this is my favorite. Their anakin bit gets me every time.

 

So perfect.

 

It would feel uneven without him. Helps with the symmetry.

 

Well some peeps at ECCC get their hands on the novelization this weekend so I would expect some interesting details to start appearing.

Edit: expected digital release is the week of March 14, before the physical release like always.

Also, doesn’t have to do w/8, but interesting nonetheless

Does this mean it's getting about that time for an episode IX thread?

 

^ I am INTO THIS.

 

Ikr? Like they haven’t even started shooting yet (and won’t until this summer), but I’m already pumped ha

 

I say we wait until they start shooting... maybe lol
