seeing reports of Robert Downey Jnr playing Thrawn…..
don't know how I feel about it
Can’t see that happening. Too expensive, not right for the character either.
Mads Mikkleson looks like the Rebels version of Thrawn. But they used him already

Mads Mikkleson
I mean...his brother voiced him so Lars is my preference

@Nepia we did the same, wifes idea which was a pleasant surprise, and I thought they were better. There was a bit of the cool stuff they introduced outweighed a lot of the bad stuff. I actually came out of it thinking Ep 1 was better than Ep 2, the whole awkward love story just ruined the first half
I also saw all the good stuff people talk about in the last jedi and came to the conclusion its a solid film that tries to do some good/different stuff...it just doesn't fit in this epic series of films, the penultimate film is not the time to shoot off in a different direction
It was the opposite for me, all the cool stuff got outweighed by all the crap and at times I had to stop all 3 to laugh at various points.
I genuinely like The Last Jedi (aside from the casino planet diversion) and thought TFA was a good comeback film (unlike TPM). Really, really, really hated the 3rd one though. But, I love Rogue One, Mando and enjoyed Solo so it's mostly all good for me for the new lot.
How could you genuinely like that film? It shat all over Luke and just farked the entire story up. It also crapped all over SW lore. How tf did Yoda summon lightening in the real world and the kamikaze manoevre???? That film was a hot mess. It looked beautiful. Probably the nicest looking SW film but that didn’t balance out the absurd plot and raping of Luke.
Look mate, I feel the same way about people liking the prequels, I'm not sure how people can like them. Anakin's heal turn was like watching WWF in the 80s. At any rate, I don't think TLJ is close to being a perfect film (they stole the jumping story line from Battlestar) but I like it better than the prequels and the final sequel.
Re: Star Wars lore, the prequels set the standard with that - midichlorians etc - so it's not like it's ever set in stone,.
@MN5 Jar Jar is ground zero bad for Star Wars. The Holiday Special did a jig of celebration when it watched Jar Jar in TPM.

@Kiwiwomble said in Star Wars VII ****contains spoilers****:
the more I think about it, the biggest thing I dislike about the sequels is they undo everything that was won in the Originals
empire overthrown? not really they just change their name to the first order
emperor gone? not really, he comes back
Han and Leia live happily ever after? nope, they break up and their son murders millions
The republic is at least restored right? kind off...but it pretty much gets destroyed straight away
Luke starts a new generation of jedi?..tries...off screen...but fails and gives upso...what was the point of the first six films?
I think the Mandalorian is going some way to explaining this by showing just how prevalent the remnants of the Empire are around the galaxy even after RTJ.

Yeah, FO are just one of many splinter groups probably. But they didn't have to go down the undead emperor tangent and it could have been good

Jar Jar > Rose/Holdo/DJ/arsehole eyes

I don’t mind the actual characters like rose and haldo it’s the plot points that ruin them for me, not the acting/charters

If only there was a thread just for Meme's, I might post there....

There’s absolutely no comparison. At least the prequels had some form of structure and continuity. The sequels were a complete joke in that regard. The story should have been set in stone before the E7. Instead they just made shit up on the fly.
Midichlorians were needed to show that not just any old fool could become a Jedi. Clumsy maybe but they hardly farked with lore to the same extent as TLJ. I’ll take Midichlorians any day over force ghosts torching shit in the real world, Mary Poppins Lea, light speed Kamikaze, etc etc etc.
Jar Jar is Boba Fett compared to Rose, Holdo, locksmith gimp and whatever the hell that orange bïtch was.

And apparently led by an incompetent joke of a general who wouldn’t even have been born when the Empire actually existed.
