What the fuck were they smoking?

>>223207193probably some autist writer kept having this 'goonies' intrusive thought and wouldn't shut up about it until the rest were like 'uhm ok well yeah whatever.'

what are some cool cinema daggers?
>farce awakens setup a lot of misteries as JJ likes to do>Last Jedi take a huge dump on all those plotlines to be "subversive" leaving the story hollowed out while getting praised by critics >predictably JJ has to rush out a plotline that pretends to work on things that were never setup to begin with
>>223207193>jedi can see the future>duuude there's no way they could've predicted the exact shape of the rubbleSW fans know literally nothing about SW, it's like when people got outraged about witches in Acolyte, as if Acolyte invented themmind you the movie is still shit but that part isn't as silly as people pretend
>>223207243On top of my head the ones in Riddick 1 and then this and the knife in 12 angry men.
>>223207193JJ was brought in at the last minute, had no time to make the movie and Bob Iger refused to delay it, he also clearly just didn't want to do it. so he just shat something out without thinking. I will never understand why they tried to make the trilogy by the seat of their pants though. literally all they had to do was sit down at the very beginning, write an outline for the whole trilogy, and stick to that instead of just making shit up on the go. it still probably would have sucked but at least it would have been coherent. just an utterly baffling way to handle something like that.

>>223207193They didn't have any good story to tell, so they went with "macguffin-fetcher" to keep it simple. Their whole limited train of thinking revolved around diversity first, kill the White legacy characters secondly, and then write a movie from there.
>>223207272they didn’t want the whole thing to leak
>>223207258No? Sure it could be predicted, but my problems are 1. At the end of return we see the death Star pretty clearly vaporized. 2. If that wreckage fell into a seabed, it would be shifting and moving constantly over the years. Even if the creator of the dagger could see the future, they had to have created it just for Ray to find and use at that exact point in time. Which is okay if they want to make that part of the story, but there's absolutely no reference to any of that.
>>223207304I would spend my time during that meeting on writing my resignation.
>>223207193In Hamill's case, every brown dick in three counties.
>>223207243>>223207260
>>223207272The one interesting thing about the sequel trilogy is that each movie is a rebuke of the one before it. It truly broke new ground.
>>223207243the living dagger from The Shadow
>>223207323They pay well. You have 20-somethings with houses that are paid for in full. All you gotta do is sell your soul.
>>223207272>so he just shat something out without thinking.They re-shot the whole movie multiple times, then after the last test audience said it still sucked, they just stitched what they had together and called it a movie.
>>223207272If he didn't want to do it, why didn't he just...not do it? He could've ridden off into the sunset and left Rian Johnson with the bill, instead he's the guy who ruined Star Wars twice and hasn't directed a movie since.
>>223207321>there's absolutely no reference to any of thatWhat do you mean, that's literally what happens. Clearly the creator saw a vision of this shit happening and made the dagger in accordance to his vision. Hardly outrageous, that's just how Force works
>>223207439but the money, anon. you haven't thought about the money.
>>223207439JJ was probably fucked either way. Disney would have been pissed if he turned them down, they had nobody else to direct and were running out of time. It was either stake his reputation on the movie, or risk getting blacklisted by the Mouse. At least he probably walked away with a fat paycheck.
>>223207440Thats exactly how schizos interpret the bible kek
>>223207391fuck. forgot about that one. I loved that movie as a kid but havent seen it in ages.
>>223207663good old>I was looking around and everyone was so WHITEjj
>>223207193>Bioshock Infinite is a smart game for smart gamers
>>223208052free on youtube with ads right now, i just watched it last week
>>223208052I saw a video talking about how it was supposed to be black and white and how good it looks like that, but I dunno if anyone made such an edit and where to find it.
>>223207439I reckon that 99.999% of people would give up every principle they have for a million dollar paycheck.
>>223207243I am weirdly ready for this question
>>223208810Good fuckin answer
>>223207243>about to get stabbed>dagger turns around and bites you instead
>>223207272Truly is just the most absurd decision in the history of cinema. They had a blank check and could've set the tone for the next 20 years. Instead we got... what we got.
>>223207193>so we will make an ancient daggeruh huh>for the crashed debries of a modern battle stationuhhhhh.....>what will deteriorate and crumble furtherhow does that....>because its in the stormy fucking oceanbut that really bad and....>and thats the secret way to the secret planet....
>>223208905imagine making star wars lame and gay
>>223207243images you can hear
>>223207193wokeslop
>>223208888>"the last living descendant of Genghis Khan"One of the most retarded sequences of words ever written
>>223207193having a sub 90IQ is like being stoned all the time
>>223207193>normie retards will slop up any woke crap with Star Wars on it so might as well let the 21 year old DEI intern write this story
>>223207244All of those things are shitty and boring and that’s the biggest reason they failed.
>>223208888imagine shoving that living handle up your ass and squeezing really hard
>>223207272Because the level of planning you’re talking about is traditionally seen as masculine and logical. Women are viewed as more emotional and capricious and because leftism can’t possibly hope to deny that, the narrative goes that masculinity and logic are just the bastions of civilization by chance and in fact the emotionality and caprice of women is actually great, but oppressed by evil men. So there was no reason to plan anything or think about it, because that’s basically a form of mansplaining.
>>223207304>star wars>not pro warwasnt the whole schtick about there were things worth fighting for for Han and luke to a degree? I guess its also about the possibility for redemption with vader, but I would hardly call that anti-war.
>>223209338that killed the franchise though
>>223207193
>>223207243The one from Chronicles of Riddickhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilG8mzbHNNI>>223207260yeah the Riddick 1 dagger was cool too.
>>223209811actually from what we've heard, it was mostly Bob Iger who pushed to rush the trilogy out the door so quickly. Kathleen Kennedy takes most of the blame but she tried to have 3 years between movies, Bob forced them to only have 2 so they had to scramble. dude really wanted the trilogy out before he "retired".
Probably that leftover stuff Lucas had when making American Graffiti or THX 1138...
>>223207390kek this, after the first movie there was tons of speculation about who Rey's parents were.Then the second movie subverted your expectations by telling you that her parents were nobodies.Then the third movie subverted your expectations again by telling you that her dad was Palpatine (who somehow returned)
>>223207193Abrams is a parasite and ripped it off from The Goonies like everything else that cocknosed faggot does!!!FACT!!!
>>223207439The reason is that Abrams is a clout chasing cockroach, so his proposal to Bob Iger was that in exchanged for trying to unfuck what Ruin Johnscum did, he'd land the next Avengers film as Director, as the MCU was now the biggest franchise out there after Star Trek and Star Wars.This is why it's not a coincidence that in late 2019 it was announced that he and his larva offspring were writing Spider-Man comics, no doubt to boost his credentials and ingratiate himself with Marvel fansProblem is that TROT was soo fucking expensive and grossed soo little in comparison to the previous two films that it was seen as a failure that Iger blamed on him!!!FACT!!!
>>223207193Nothing, it's just that modern writers and directors are mediocre hacks.
