Obviously this had a lot of money devoted to CGI but they also built out some expensive sets. The orphanage for example. When you see those buildings in the distance you're not looking at a CGI effects. They actually built those. That gets expensive to.

Responding to this one again because of something I've never seen happen before myself. I posted a response in the Blade Runner 2049 thread earlier today and then when I went to YouTube later what should show up in my recommended list? Yup, multiple Blade Runner review videos which I haven't...

No.

I love this movie far too much to begrudge anyone who comes to appreciate it, however early or late that appreciation is acquired. We can hate how Hollywood sometimes does business, but it is a business. If the things we love aren't making them money then they aren't going to keep making them...

I think some of it was that high collared outfit she was wearing. I thought she looked fatter in her face even at the end of TFA and attributed it to that costume. But maybe that was a reshot scene and Ridley had put on some weight since primary photography. With people throwing out the bad...

A lot of the explanation of the First Order, what we have of it so far, is covered in the novels that have come out since TFA. I know that doesn't make it work nearly as well for the more casual moviegoer but I think they feel like they give them enough to get from point A to B to C as much as...

Signez la pétition

I think you answered that question yourself (if I'm correct in there being a typo in it). The way they have used him speaking through snippets of audio through his radio have made him an endearing character in the movies. And he's gotten a lot of more intimate screen time with the main human...

Not that I recall. A lot of the confusion about this point is born out of the faulty notion that the movie uses to set up a hurdle in the plot. Once they have the fragment they don't really need R2's map to show where it is in the galaxy. They could have just matched it up to any full...

Yes. And True Grit. That's the movie that pretty much put her on the map.

Luke didn't leave a map. He went off to find the first jedi temple and no one had heard from him since. Sometime after this Lor San Tekka found a map showing the location of the temple which he then tried to get to Leia. Luke didn't leave that with him and it's really just a guess on the part...

They see the writing on the wall with how people are choosing to consume entertainment today. Theaters are in a downward spiral and being able to deliver content directly to the consumer is where things are and have been headed for a while now. They need lots of IP's and a large library to...

Absent Disney saying the reason they missed on projected earnings was TLJ performing under their expectations I don't really see what that says about the movie or any other individual title. Disney has a lot of revenue sources of different types.

Dooku mentioned Sidious to Obi-Wan in AotC who later repeated what Dooku had said to Yoda though he had doubts at the time about Dooku's honesty. But later Yoda referred to Sidious by name in TCW series.

I don't know what Disney's internal projections where and I'm not a super close observer of box office results but going into this one thought 1.5b would be the best case scenario for it. I was expecting it to drop by a little more than a third from TFA's total. A lot of people acknowledge TFA...

There's an appetite out there right now for the faltering franchise stories among fans that are really dissatisfied with the movie and those articles also draw in fans who think just the opposite on the 'how dare you talk down my Star Wars" angle. Then you have sites like Forbes running pieces...

The partially melted mask he gave the "grandfather" speech to in TFA.

Yeah they obviously wanted to return to the dynamic of the good guys being the outmatched underdogs as a way of making a further distinction from the prequels. I think they set that up reasonably well in the books that came out after TFA with Leia having been discredited by the revelation of...

Yeah the sagas thus far have all been on more of a grand scale and they should probably keep with that. Let the anthologies have a smaller focus and be willing to serialize some of them (so far they've only indicated they're doing one-off's) to build up the popularity of the characters they...

I'm saying it seems to me that if he was so interested in just pleasing fans of the previous movie he wouldn't have had to go to the trouble of reading a bunch of fanfics to find out the sorts of things they would like. He wouldn't have to go past social media for that and it would have been a...

He'd want to know what fans of TFA wanted more of badly enough to read over god only knows how many fanfics (a depressing notion all by itself) and then make a movie that many of those same fans say failed to deliver on anything that TFA set up?

Even if he did get the idea from that book or it was suggested to him by someone who had read it, Lucasfilm owns all of the Legends materials. Mining them for concepts and story ideas was one of the things that was pointed out when the old EU was scrapped.

They've recommended videos based on the current video you're watching for some time now. If a lot of other people who watched the video you were viewing also watched that missing the point video, then it will bump up the chances for it to be recommended. And if we're gonna rely on anecdotes...

Those are a lot of interesting similarities. They're probably making too much of that Jan 2016 date though. Johnson was writing the script while TFA was still shooting and TLJ began production in Feb 2016 a couple of weeks before the first installment of the fanfic was complete and posted...
