Movies & TV Everything Star Wars

The flipside is something like the kingsman sequel (which I need to get around to watching) which pissed off the director by spoiling a major plot twist in the previews

That's just s**t moviemaking. And by all reports it was a s**t movie. Probably had nothing else to show in the trailer

The director had no control over the promotion, they brought back a character who died in the first film. And he got plastered all over the previews.

I think these movies all suffer from expectation lag

They are built up so much they are hard to live up to... Not only that, but I think they actively fan the flames in the previews, not just the expectations but they push the narratives in the previews by selectivley editing them in certain ways to lead ppl astray.

The previews are little taster pieces sure, but they make sure they lead people's thoughts in the wrong direction , I think it's a bad idea. Leads to dissapointment. Don't play games man,

Yeah I lament the days of informative yet vague trailers where you understood the premise and the tone but not much else.

I think with this film part of my initial reaction was complete shock, as I'd tried to outthink it and got sat on my arse which is simply not how Star Wars films behave, there's usually a degree of box-checking which is all TFA felt like to me (one of two times I've walked out of the theatre after a SW film totally dejected and wondering if I even liked it in the first place).

What an absolute mind* it would have been to get the Papa Skywalker twist cold.

probably similar to the Kylo killing Snoke twist in the last Jedi.

I know Luke's star wars career is now done, I reckon he's angling for an advertising gig as the new han solo man

Yes it's a Midnight Oil ref

Couldn't have appealed to me more if you tried.

I was hoping to read my favorite of all Obi-wan quotes, alas it wasn't to be...

"stretch out with your feelings"

did luke leave hansel crumbs wanting to be found?

 

[Jade]

Wow, really?

Yep - the structure of the word (bi) along with the content of the sentence meant I 'got it' - but can't recall hearing that word used before.
