    Star Wars Ep. 9 Thread

    From the sound of those comments, it almost seems like the major reshoots that were done by Gilroy were a completely separate beast from the addition of the Vader scene. But I guess that also makes sense. Edwards never had a problem with action scenes. I'm not a huge fan of Rogue One as a...

    I know Gilroy handled the majority of the re-shoots around the redesign of Jyn and Krennic's characters. It would be interesting if Gareth handled the vader scene as it would sort of sap some of the strength behind the idea of LF wanting him off the film because it was so bad.

    If I remember my three year old rumors correctly, Vader did appear in the climax of the initial cut of the movie. But the hallway fight was something the studio asked to be amped up in reshoots. Reshoots, that depending on who you believe either Edwards was not available for or not welcome...

    Restaurants for the non-Disneyphile/Foodie

    I love Tiffins, but doing Jiko and Tiffins in the same day might be overdoing it within the same "spectrum" of flavors. Similarly Sanaa is very impressive. But Jiko is probably the best of the three, so if you're choosing one you probably already have the best bet. At least in my experience...

    Coral Reef Restaurant Opinions

    Coral Reef is not my personal favorite, but my kids love it so I go more often than I'd like. Here's what I've found makes for a consistent experience. Early lunch reservation (11-11:30 am) usually alleviates any service problems as the restaurant is mostly empty for the majority of your meal...

    All you have to do is add "in your opinion" to all of that and I'll completely agree. My problem with your take from the beginning has only been that you claim this as objective fact and not your subjective opinion.

    And again, it seems you don't understand how to substantiate your views. You think it, so you say it, so it is fact. Understood.

    Still waiting for you to actually tell me why you disagree with my review. Other than just that I don't share your opinion.

    Do you have any idea where that rumor originated? Was it a trade? Reddit? Angry youtuber? I think the more prevelant rumor as I've seen it is that no one at LF or Disney was happy with his treatment. They either couldn't get him to make changes, or his changes were seen as lacking. And then...

    You are nothing if not consistent. The stories you make in your head are very amusing.

    Not quite to that extent, no. But we are dealing with a small sample size with SW so its hard to compare. But Marvel did have a bad run similar to this one. Thor 2, GotG 1 (writer change), Ant-Man, the dispatched Inhumans movie, and Favreau's departure were all in short succession. And...

    It is a lot of churn, I will admit. It's just funny, how this happens elsewhere and people credit the studio. HOw many times has Feige changed creatives. Rewrites, swapping out directors in pre-production. But if you like the Marvel movies he's a genius. If you hate the SW movies, its all...

    She produced Joe vs The Volcano, which I will admit makes her untouchable in my mind. No amount of bad movies could ever undo that underappreciated gem. So there, I've admitted my bias. I'm a KK fanboy.

    As I understand it, the Solo situation was more of a case of your typical creative butting of heads. Very similar i'd imagine to the Edgar Wright Ant-Man fiasco. A creative process not connecting with fiscal realities of blockbuster filmmaking. Pretty common, but subject o drama because its...

    Pretty standard really. My employer recently had a down quarter and everyone was put on media blackout outside of our CEO until they could manage the spin. After it blows over, everyone is given free reign again.

    They did quite emphatically deny these rumors. As they gave her a 3 year contract extension right after those rumors hit. You keep saying this, but that doesn't make it true. You asked me twice to give my reasons for liking the movie, yet you have ignored them completely. Your opinion on the...

    First, to clarify. I am not taking the position that fan backlash is the cause. I was tongue in cheek saying that as it is often the default position of many "internet experts" who want to place all the blame on Kennedy. To your points. I'm not going to defend the 67% drop too much. But a...

    Well then maybe we need to clear something up. Who is it exactly that hates Kennedy and thinks she is destroying SW? Because I was under the impression people were saying that she was mismanaging with the fans. General audiences, critics, media, all loved TLJ right? But it was the offense to...

    As I've said in the past, i don't dispute your notion that there are some internal politics going on with Iger and Kennedy. I don't think it is to the extent that people who are wishing for her firing are imagining. But you are really stretching on this one. Kennedy has been present for...

    Second opening ceremony? We'll be lucky if we get the third tier convention team of Warwick Davis/Daniel Logan combo for a 30 second ribbon cutting. More likely cast members in Chewie and Stormtrooper costumes.
