Star Wars - Impressions, no spoilers, just impressions!

[crazy canuck]

Saw it last night with the boys.  We all loved it.  Best one yet.

[Caliga]

I don't love the idea of a "reboot", but I cautiously embraced the 2009 Star Trek film.

But Star Trek Into Darkness shat on my embrace.  There's very little chance I go to see Star Trek Beyond now.  I don't think I'm the only one.

I thought Into Darkness was awesome...

+1

[Eddie Teach]

Into Darkness was roughly 90% as awesome* as Star Trek, like most sequels.

*Not that I would use that word to describe either movie.

They are gonna have to take some risks with the second movie, though.

You mean like they did with the Star Trek Reboot sequel

'The Bad guys from Episode VII Strike Back'

I don't love the idea of a "reboot", but I cautiously embraced the 2009 Star Trek film.

But Star Trek Into Darkness shat on my embrace.  There's very little chance I go to see Star Trek Beyond now.  I don't think I'm the only one.

So Episode 8 doesn't need to be "risky" but surely to God they need a slightly more original screenplay than Episode 7 had.

Into darkness was shirt, but ill see the new one.

[Grinning_Colossus]

Star Trek an Into Darkness were both bad, and of the two Darkness was worse, but both were better than Insurrection and Nemesis.

Star Trek was okay-ish but it didn't feel like Star Trek. Heck I remember coming out of the cinema and telling my friends that Abrams just tried to do a very convoluted Star Wars wannabee instead of a Star Trek film. Lo an behold, a decade later he's done the actual thing.

The least said about Into Darkness the better.

Carrie Fisher, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, and Kylie Minoigue on Graham Norton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVB4ghl0mJo

Norton: "Kylie, did you watch Star Wars?"
Kylie: "I was young; gonna say I was this high, but I'm not much higher now, so ..."
Carrie: "I was high, too, but not that high!"



But yeah, Carrie is brilliant in this. She just doesn't give a fuck anymore.

Also her official advise to Daisy Ridley on set: "Don't go through the crew like wildfire."

Generally quite an adorable show. Much better than the American talk shows they send here.

That was good.



BTW, I should not watch 40 minute YouTube videos on my 15 minute break.

Hey now, I am sure katmai would have liked to have been part of that crew. 

[Eddie Teach]

Wasn't he like 5 years old?

Wasn't he like 5 years old? 

Assuming appropriate age/time travel/whatever. 

[Eddie Teach]

Hey watch it, that "whatever" category could have forced Carrie Fisher to live out her entire life in France.
