Scientists agree that the leading cause of climate change is carbon dioxide emissions from people who give their opinions about star Wars movies. Sad to say, we are only making the problem worse today. The wake of the Skywalker coming out today, a huge movie riot sure we don't know what to do.
Jason Schreier and Chris Kohler meet today to talk about it. Also, as in The rise of the Skywalker, there are random appearances from another fan favorite Kotaku an employee who does not advance the building and works for the fans.
Jason Schreier: Let me start with this: At least it wasn't as bad as last season's Game of Thrones.
Chris Kohler: Well, I would say, let's get our first one out, and then we go back Game of Thrones. What do you think of Star Wars one in eight?
Jason: On the scale of star Wars fandom, maybe I'm in the middle – enough for a fan to see them all on an open weekend, and I've loved them all so far, yes the best (not good but at least watched), but I'm not emotionally invested as I have in many other series. I loved it too The Last JediThe lions, the haters! – in large part because the challenge of the situation also asked some interesting questions, which I like to see in major epic stories. What about you?
Chris: It's basically the same. I wasn't old enough to see the first three movies in the theater, but I watched it on TV, cared to see all the Special Editions in the theater, seeing all the best moves, even though I hadn't watched the first installment in 20 years. We watched them this week and they were, you know, not great. It was a pleasure to see The Army Awakens basically save star Wars series by being interesting and watchable, too The Last Jedi she shines. One of the great things about The Last Jedi , as you say, that it takes all the guesswork about star Wars and we start joking around at them, giving us a new way of thinking about these long-standing archetypes and plot points. The rise of the Skywalker it's as if it didn't happen.
Jason: Yes, and recently, Jedi: The Fallen Order do the same thing in really exciting ways. I don't mind the story, but I'm one of the first players star Wars Over the years it also happens to ask some good questions about the Jedi's condition and whether the intervention is more harmful than good.
So here we have two Star Wars fantasy stories that leave you wondering, then The rise of the Skywalker It's going to be called "Fuck that, we're back to the condition we are in." It was a bad movie for a number of reasons – plot holes, whiplash suspensions, a way that completely failed to emulate the likes of Rose and Finn – but the bad thing about it, in my opinion, is how it decided that, in fact, the Complete Jedi . Where The Last Jedi has issued its declaration that being well-off now means respecting but not reversing the past, The rise of the Skywalker he tells moviegoers that the past is all that matters. From the evil masters of being a Palpatine (FEED) to a climax that requires Rey to call the ghosts of the Jedi past, something that is assumed here is star Wars it never changes.
Chris: Well, let's talk about Palpatine. I'm not opposed to the idea of giving back here, considering his prominence in both previous trilogies. We had long been focusing on Kylo Ren's plans, but in order to do that he had to help win, you know, something. And notwithstanding as Snoke was treated unfairly in the middle Keeping the Jedi no one else would take his place, that kind of substitute for anyone who would The rise of the Skywalker between a rock and a hard place.
With those issues, why not reduce Palpatine?
Jason: First of all, because Palpatine is the most interesting villain of the entire series! But otherwise, bringing the local boy back to life completely undermines Kader's self-sacrifice and all-out accomplishment in the original trilogy. Describing his return & # 39; s as dark Sith & # 39; it is quite unsatisfactory. And … who made HELL to have a baby ??? What were the machines of that? Did you find a woman with whom you had a child willingly? Why didn't anyone stop to ask which Rey's parent was Palpatine's child? There are many questions here.
Gita Jackson: Hi, I haven't seen this movie, but you can never convince me that Palpatine is a fuck. Thank you.
Chris: It's a canon now, like Elan Sleazebaggano.
Jason: If they wanted to make a story about rescuing Kylo and another villain, why not create a new character? There really is no shortage of wounds you can take in the Star Wars universe. Restoring Palpatine shows a lack of creativity … but hey, I guess that's the point of this movie.
Chris: Well, because creating a completely new character in a third trilogy film would be a surprise — now? I have a hard time wrapping my head in a full 11 o'clock, like Zeromus at Final concept IV, rather than believing that Palpatine suffered a stroke from Horcrux allowing him to pull himself back with one final failure. That said, his presence here is born out of the same desire to bring everyone back to being star Wars movie. Putting Warwick Davis back into the Wicket highlight for the second episode has been out there, for example. The film felt less like a ending to this trilogy and more of a special encounter.
Jason: There is no better way to avoid Ghost Han Solo's emotional encounter than to do the same thing with Ghost Luke Skywalker for about 30 seconds. “star WarsReunion is a great way to summarize this movie.
I always think: there are mistakes like prequels, at least they were composing? Throughout the Hayden Christensen pout or a bad line about midichlorians there were also big, fun pieces set and fun pieces to build the world. Pod race, clones, Order 66 … there were things in those movies that we had never seen before.
The wake of the Skywalker, anyway? In a few months I can't imagine ever remembering one place. There have been no memorable moments, no new creative planets or exciting additions to what we know about Star Wars. The coldest decision in the arts was the Kylo-Rey psychic connection, and again that was something new from The Last Jedi. It had just exploded after regeneration, reaching a huge wet wave. Did your theater laugh as Kylo and Rey kissed and Kylo disappeared? I cannot visualize an emotionally unstable situation.
In fact, I bring that back – which was Babu Frik. Everything, though!
Chris: I was sad when they kissed because I didn't feel somehow that this was where their relationship went ???? mods ????
But no, I agree. I will miss Babu Frik. I also liked whatever that new droid was. A lump in an emotional wound.
Jason: Yes, a droid thing.
Chris: Yes.
Jason: Even Babu Frik is a reminder of how exaggerated it is to tell stories The rise of the Skywalker , however. They set up these great emotional events for the C-3PO, which should give all their memory to help rescue the atmosphere, but to bring it all back within an hour because R2-D2 can only bring him back magically. What was the point?
"Statistics by Peter Luger." –The rise of the SkywalkerA creative group, perhaps.
Chris: Well, it's like they didn't know they wanted to make us laugh or cry anything about the C-3PO story – first a maudlin, then a joke about having another solution before Babu made his memory, and then the cheap jokes of amnesia, then R2-D2 returns from an old backup. If it were all a comic relief then that would make sense.
But yeah, I felt like Rey would be like, you know, happy to rescue this lost soul, but not to "let it be done".
Jason: I actually bought a kiss because they have good chemistry, but yes, it was confusing. I almost feel like the writers decided he was Palpatine's grandson rather than Luke or Leia just to do that? Weather either way.
Chris: He doesn't really need to be a man, which was his point The Last Jedi.
Jason: Yes, what a ridiculous retcon! Here it is The Last Jedi it tries to convey this strong message that greatness can come from anyone, not just dynasties, too The rise of the Skywalker hit everything on it. I was expecting Ghost Ghost to end its little history with "By the way, fuck the last movie."
Chris: Or how can the Jedi-Sith alliance, the idea that if someone is completely wrong, have to be all evil in order to be compensated, the idea that if you use the Force you can join a group of stolen people or join the Evil Company, which would be a bad idea?
But no, Skywalker pushes the brakes on that and returns to the "Jedi finally destroy the Sith permanently" as a conclusion. And, again, that's not the case no an unsatisfactory conclusion, but it is surprising to include that The Last Jedi which demanded more personal and personal separation from the whole thing. I think it was an honor star Wars it is enough to ask questions about it, though The rise of the Skywalker worshiping idols star Wars far too much to handle with anything other than baby gloves.
Last middle finger to The Last Jedi it was not only emphasizing Rose Tico, but making sure that it was a lamp with a clear light. "Rose, are you coming up with this plan?" "No, I'll have to stay here and wash the villagers. Orders are normal."
Like, okay, I get it, you want to take the film to the other side, but it's surprisingly well-made until it's clearly written in the discussion. It's rubbing.
Jason: It's very disturbing to know what Kelly Marie Tran is going through online, facing so many threats and negative messages from fans there The Last Jedi submitted that he must remove his communications presence. I really want to read the background piece of the development of this movie, because it's unbelievable to me that the creators have decided to bury Rose right now but to introduce Finn's new partner at the last hour of the movie. I learned the old ones The rise of the Skywalker leak involving a photo in which Lando claims his daughter was kidnapped by the First Order – I guess she had to be Jannah? But by cutting the incident and leaving the final connection between the two of them, they just made things confusing.
Chris: Oops! Huh. Well, that last episode was totally logical.
Jason: Side note: I can ride an hour how they spent John Boyega on this trilogy! In the end Finn was a disappointing, very bad character, because Boyega is great and does his best.
Chris: So, with all these unacceptable decisions aside, I feel like the film was taken all over it just felt so … I think the word is so hurry. They went to so many places, introduced so many characters, and gave them no breathing room.
Jason: Well, I said why Charlie came from Missing where ???
Chris: It seems to me that even if they did something new with new characters, or they should have tried to wrap the remaining pieces on the board, but they've tried to do that and even in two and a half hours it wasn't just & # 39; enough time to do all that without having to go at a breakneck speed.
Jason: It was a doubt, without a doubt. I'll have to give you some more time before I can say this for sure, but right now it sounds to me like the worst film in all three major trilogies. Or Attack Of The Clones (my previous favorite) had some special moments – I'll never forget, how the crowd came out when Yoda stepped out of the shadows with the headlights taking Count Dooku. Of course, that was rare, but at least it was unlike anything we've ever seen before. The rise of the Skywalker it sounds like it was created in the lab by AI manufacturers to uninstall old random star Wars characters and plot points and combine them all without any idea of theme, pace, or plot.
Chris: And to feel like they need to give Chewbacca a medal, which also sounds like a point of view that you saw special for Christmas or a corpse.
What do you think of Leia? I felt like the use of the cutage was great, but they went beyond the effort to show how smart they were by writing a new dialogue around random interruptions by Carrie Fisher. They may have had a part of Leia's part and it might have worked out better – why not just leave Leia after taking a break from the Falcon? up with Greg Grunberg, unnecessarily for that plan.
Jason: I think if you made a movie with the character after one of your main characters died, you should know that your audience will be thinking about that every time they watch it. As a result, any scene that incorporates that feature will distract the audience from the plot as they begin to wonder how it's done and whether it's all CGI (a la Rogue OneThe weird stuff of Grand Moff Tarkin) or what. There will also be no real weight in the death of that character, because we all know it will happen soon. In other words, they should have killed him off screen in a sad way and done.
Chris: I'm not sure what to expect The rise of the Skywalker, but it wasn't this. In the end, I think it was this way star Wars it had to end, with something fans could not fight until the death of the universe. And I promised to go back Game of Thrones, and I'll give you a chance here … Season 8 of Game of Thrones. That went on pretty quickly too, but it sounded like the only show we've been watching. The rise of the Skywalker has tried to be a climax not in the previous two films, but in the last eight, those were ultimately a lot of work, and probably unnecessary.
Jason: Last season of Game of Thrones left me sluggish, but it's probably because I'm more attached to that series (I started reading books, like, 2000) than before. star Wars. (In fact, I think I took a day off while working for you Cord what Dance with Dragons take it out so I can finish it quickly.)
However, it was a bad year for the franchise's end. Avengers: Endgame I was not perfect but I loved you so much, so thank those people for sticking to a way that felt very satisfying. And, hey, GuardsThe ending was very good.
Here's hoping that, insecure from the Skywalker saga, a bunch of cool creative people can do some cool creative things star Wars which makes us forget that all of this is happening. And hopefully we'll never see a Skywalker movie again.
Chris: Don't worry, Jason, the Ice and Fire books will do a better job of it. Look forward to writing the final volume in the same year Star Wars X Series star Rey Skywalker.
