Star Wars Episode VIII - The Last Jedi

[Aginor]

Yesterday I re-watched also the first reboot of Star Trek.
Should I feel guilty?

Not at all.
The screenplay is... meh but those movies are still nice and action packed.

Less than a week. 3 DAYS!!!

To be honest I already felt that scene dragged on for too long in the actual movie.
Standing there that long saying nothing just staring at her felt really creepy to me. A few seconds longer and I would have yelled "SAY SOMETHING, CREEPY OLD DUDE!!!"
I mean, he is standing there for... dunno... 15 seconds or longer. Go ahead and try that in real life.

Not quite. After all, he went to that island to be left alone. She was the one that came to him and broke his wishes for solitude; the onus is on her to speak first. What's a guy gotta do to get some peace and quiet?

Why is it automatically the guy that is viewed as creepy?

 

[Aginor]

Well to be fair her not saying anything just handing him the Lightsaber wordlessly with a pleading look on her face doesn't quite match my standards for courtesy either.
She could at least have said "Hi I am Rey." Or something.

I wonder what the first words will be. Options:
1. Luke (has seen the Falcon): Who the fuck are you and where are Han and Chewie?
2. Luke: Get off my lawn!
3. Rey: Hi I am Rey.
4. Luke: Finally a hot chick that isn't my sister!
5. Luke (Forgot how to speak): hrrbrrgl. *ahem* flrrrsr. Dammit.
6. Rey: This is yours. Want it back?
7. Luke: *says something unintelligible because Porgs are too loud*
8. Luke talks like Yoda
9. Luke: Hi I am Luke.
10. Rey: Teach me!
11. Luke: Any chance you also found a hand where you found that?
12. Luke yelling at Anakin's Force Ghost: Hey dad! Some girl found your lightsaber that I lost!
13. Obi-Wan's Force Ghost: Hey Luke, you are wayyy luckier than I was it seems! *winks*
14. Some Force Ghost: Oh damn she is too old already... (Luke reacts grossed out)
15. Luke: it sure took you long to find me, I ran out of toilet paper five years ago!

Ok I'll stop now.

I'm hoping for option number 2!

I'm hoping for option number 2!

As for #7 this isn't too far fetched actually. Porgs are based on the Puffins (cute sea birds) that live there in real life.
I once visited such a bird island off the coast of Norway. And holy moly it was beautiful but I had NO idea how mind-numbingly loud bird colonies are. You really had to yell so another person could understand what you were saying.

I really hope they don't incorporate that noise into the movie, at least not to any significant extent. The odd squawk here or there is okay, but they better not go overboard. I guess I'll know in 2 days!


Speaking of which, what do you think of my next Star Wars vs. Star Trek poll....

BORG

I'm actually voting for Star Trek on this one!

Can't tell yet as I only know that one Porg from the trailer.

True, but if the Porg did win, that would admittedly be the upset of the century!

If you don't like them that much and your weird enough, you could always cook and eat some:

16. Rey: oh, hi Mark.

16. Rey: oh, hi Mark.

17.Rey, Father
18.Luke, Daughter

 

[Aginor]

Oh man I hope they didn't do that. Would be super-lame.

 

[Captaniser]

Well, looks like The last Jedi won't be a disaster. It gets top scorers across a multitude of articles and movie critics.

I think even Borg would reject Porg

That's true, I don't know of how much use they would be to the collective.


I just have my fingers crossed that they don't Jar Jar / Ewok the movie!
