00:25:22 ◼   ► the ship so you don't actually see the ship that is is this first one here you [TS]

00:25:26 ◼   ► just see that there's some silhouette crossing the planet down go these little [TS]

00:25:35 ◼   ► we're doing the right things here going through all the motions but also it's [TS]

00:25:38 ◼   ► it's different and its new so I thought I thought that was that was really good [TS]

00:25:42 ◼   ► it's doing everything you need to its conveying so much information with so [TS]

00:26:02 ◼   ► confusion now no clutter just but everything is got meaning it's not only [TS]

00:26:09 ◼   ► beautiful and clever it's it's giving information all the time which is so [TS]

00:26:13 ◼   ► important at the start of the film is an especially these are films even if you [TS]

00:26:17 ◼   ► imagine someone walking into this movie theater and they've never seen Star Wars [TS]

00:26:20 ◼   ► before and they're reading this text may have no idea who any of these people are [TS]

00:26:24 ◼   ► you still know that the ship is bad news so clearly this is bad news right these [TS]

00:26:30 ◼   ► are not people that you want coming to this planet just visually like they [TS]

00:26:34 ◼   ► don't have to tell you anything about it there are a lot of little moments like [TS]

00:26:39 ◼   ► this in the movie where I just found myself thinking like how competent you [TS]

00:26:44 ◼   ► are using visual language to convey something like this this is just [TS]

00:26:49 ◼   ► absolutely this is absolutely a pleasure to watch when when someone is doing [TS]

00:26:54 ◼   ► doing this kind of thing yeah so I think the first the first major departure in [TS]

00:26:59 ◼   ► the movie is the scene when the storm troopers land they are thinking of his [TS]

00:27:06 ◼   ► as new tattoo him truly Jaku i think is the name for it [TS]

00:27:09 ◼   ► yeah but it's another desert planet yeah it's another does deter planet it's it's [TS]

00:27:14 ◼   ► you know it's new Tatooine [TS]

00:27:16 ◼   ► and they're they're landing in there doing a raid and there's a storm trooper [TS]

00:27:19 ◼   ► who is freaking out because he's this is his his first fight as you find out [TS]

00:27:25 ◼   ► later he seeing you seeing all the death occurring around him and he's like a [TS]

00:27:29 ◼   ► PTSD stormtrooper in this moment he sees presumably one of his friends dies this [TS]

00:27:34 ◼   ► again was just a great thing like let's do something a little bit different and [TS]

00:27:39 ◼   ► the and the old Star Wars movies had these couple little moments where where [TS]

00:27:44 ◼   ► storm troopers where human eyes like chatting on the side of of them will be [TS]

00:27:48 ◼   ► seen or whatever but here we are going to focus on a stormtrooper like one guy [TS]

00:27:54 ◼   ► who is a real person who is going to be an actual character and I mean because I [TS]

00:28:01 ◼   ► had seen the trailer that really made me want to presume that that was going to [TS]

00:28:05 ◼   ► be the case that I guess storm trooper was was one of the main characters by I [TS]

00:28:08 ◼   ► thought it was a good move I got an interesting it's an interesting and [TS]

00:28:12 ◼   ► different place to focus in in the movie and we have this sort of this little [TS]

00:28:17 ◼   ► battle and skirmish kick off on the on the desert planet the same and where [TS]

00:28:22 ◼   ► someone files a blast heard a big bad and he froze the blast about in the in [TS]

00:28:28 ◼   ► the in mid-air I mean if you'd told me beforehand that was going to happen out [TS]

00:28:33 ◼   ► of it or not too sure about that but I was also and it was such a cool new use [TS]

00:28:38 ◼   ► of the focus was such a cool new effect to see a lazy about frozen in mid-air [TS]

00:28:44 ◼   ► but still sort of sizzling on the spot other that was that was so cold that [TS]

00:28:48 ◼   ► blaster bolts was designed in the same way that Iran's lightsabers done where [TS]

00:28:56 ◼   ► it in its like angry right it has sparks coming off the edge of it feels alive [TS]

00:29:01 ◼   ► because this is this is the this is the plus side of making a movie many years [TS]

00:29:06 ◼   ► later that we have better graphics technology we can make things look [TS]

00:29:10 ◼   ► better than just lines on the screen so yes when when that blaster boulders [TS]

00:29:15 ◼   ► fired and it stopped in mid air in it you couldn't have done that effect [TS]

00:29:20 ◼   ► before because it would just be like others are glowing line in the center of [TS]

00:29:23 ◼   ► the screen but with this it feels like that blaster bolt is just [TS]

00:29:28 ◼   ► tradução dying to move forward like it's giving off sparks and its kinda [TS]

00:29:31 ◼   ► moving around a little bit but but it's just casually held there by the dark [TS]

00:29:35 ◼   ► side of the force and yes it is just so cool like that is exactly the kind of [TS]

00:29:40 ◼   ► thing I can imagine if I was there I was a little kid seeing this like you [TS]

00:29:43 ◼   ► imagine yourself like stopping blaster bolts with your hands when you're [TS]

00:29:47 ◼   ► playing with other kids like that's just a great great thing to do in in the [TS]

00:29:51 ◼   ► opening scene to establish I guess this guy can do amazing things right away and [TS]

00:29:57 ◼   ► also very early on we have a bit of a market for the film as well as when when [TS]

00:30:02 ◼   ► this this pilot here a guy whose name of already forgotten is sort of brought [TS]

00:30:07 ◼   ► before con la Renta get a telling off and and that is really jokey he's funny [TS]

00:30:14 ◼   ► like an early modern and modern jerky way who's gonna talk first you can talk [TS]

00:30:18 ◼   ► the talk first like it was very like okay they gonna they're gonna be sexy [TS]

00:30:24 ◼   ► but it was a real martin sass wasn't it was an old-fashioned humor it was like [TS]

00:30:29 ◼   ► very modern speak and it was it was actually quite disorienting for a second [TS]

00:30:34 ◼   ► that moment right there when the pilot says even talk first my get talks first [TS]

00:30:39 ◼   ► and then I'll iran says something and then he does another joke which is that [TS]

00:30:42 ◼   ► he says it's it's very hard to understand you with all the apparatus [TS]

00:30:47 ◼   ► he's making fun of the of the mask this guys wearing that was one moment where I [TS]

00:30:52 ◼   ► was thinking like oh I was a little worried at that point because it is that [TS]

00:30:57 ◼   ► to me just doesn't feel Star Wars because it is very modern I'm not saying [TS]

00:31:02 ◼   ► it's bad but it was a moment where everything was going great on this train [TS]

00:31:06 ◼   ► and in my mind anyway like we hit a tiny bump and now I'm suddenly cautious again [TS]

00:31:10 ◼   ► writes like shields up a little bit worried just again just because I want [TS]

00:31:14 ◼   ► your watching the movie you just wanted to go so well in the experiences in the [TS]

00:31:24 ◼   ► slightly slightly off right at the beginning I was not a fan of that and I [TS]

00:31:29 ◼   ► wasn't a fan of it on the second viewing again but this is where we will start to [TS]

00:31:33 ◼   ► get into some of the things that I think are little bit off a little bit [TS]

00:31:36 ◼   ► it did remove a lot of the gravitas of characters that i think is supposed to [TS]

00:31:39 ◼   ► have some gravitas it did later on I i mean I really liked the humor in the [TS]

00:31:45 ◼   ► film I'm sure we'll talk about that but there were a couple of times with the [TS]

00:31:48 ◼   ► humor felt like it was too much from the streets of New York and not enough from [TS]

00:31:52 ◼   ► a long time ago in a galaxy far far away there's a few things then felt I feel [TS]

00:32:08 ◼   ► like this this other place but yeah but relative relatively minor thing [TS]

00:32:13 ◼   ► relatively minor thing at the moment since I just talked about a moment where [TS]

00:32:18 ◼   ► I was a little bit worried about stuff I kind of want to talk about the the [TS]

00:32:22 ◼   ► moment when I felt just sold on this movie and just really stopped thinking [TS]

00:32:29 ◼   ► about watching the Star Wars movie and I started just watching a Star Wars movie [TS]

00:45:06 ◼   ► cooler bad so obviously a play that thing up but who's in charge but what's [TS]

00:45:11 ◼   ► going on there was there was a lot of the macro was lost on me I was very [TS]

00:46:31 ◼   ► guys but as soon as the star killer came online it did immediately drawn to my [TS]

00:46:37 ◼   ► attention like wait I don't actually understand what's going on because this [TS]

00:46:42 ◼   ► resistance seems separates from the senate it doesn't it doesn't seem like [TS]

00:46:48 ◼   ► they are connected and when I was watching a movie a second time I was [TS]

00:46:52 ◼   ► trying to pay attention they did I miss online like something explaining [TS]

00:46:55 ◼   ► something here and we really know and there's actually a line that made me [TS]

00:46:59 ◼   ► even more confused because when the when the evil general is giving his big [TS]

00:47:03 ◼   ► speech about how we're going to destroy that senate he makes he makes some [TS]

00:47:08 ◼   ► remark i wish i I caught it the exact remark but he makes some remark that [TS]

00:47:12 ◼   ► it's the lead me to believe that there is some formal separation between the [TS]

00:47:23 ◼   ► you know is lying about something about the resistance and then it's ok now this [TS]

00:47:28 ◼   ► is really unclear the relationship between these entities like i presume [TS]

00:47:32 ◼   ► that the senate is running the Galaxy now and then the first order is the [TS]

00:47:38 ◼   ► remnants of the empire with incredible resources like oh don't mind us with our [TS]

00:47:48 ◼   ► terror but then like where the rebellion fits into that is very confusing to me [TS]

00:47:56 ◼   ► that like if you are not the area where the resistance in the give you are not [TS]

00:48:00 ◼   ► the army of the senate like I'm I am confused now like you're in it you [TS]

00:48:05 ◼   ► princess Lalla how are you connected to all of this is that felt weird the film [TS]

00:48:11 ◼   ► would have made more sense if the resistance princess layer and the people [TS]

00:48:15 ◼   ► with the ex wings was the military branch of the Senate but then they would [TS]

00:48:20 ◼   ► no longer be underdogs they would be part of the establishment and you'd lose [TS]

00:48:24 ◼   ► that whole dynamic so for some reason they've made them to some sort of [TS]

00:48:27 ◼   ► splinter freedom fighters when when it doesn't really logically may make sense [TS]

00:48:33 ◼   ► i mean because who they're resisting this first order lunch like you know the [TS]

00:48:38 ◼   ► enemy that the outsiders or are they all are [TS]

00:48:41 ◼   ► I actually had the impression that the first order was the military branch of [TS]

00:48:45 ◼   ► the the Senate but the government and that gone bad you know because they've [TS]

00:48:51 ◼   ► got an army that was confusing it remains confusing to me it remains [TS]

00:48:58 ◼   ► confusing I'm sure there are answers to all these me extended universe like all [TS]

00:49:03 ◼   ► of us like I don't really care I'm just watching this movie and I'm curious but [TS]

00:49:06 ◼   ► the things in the universe of the movie but yeah I did think it was it was weird [TS]

00:49:10 ◼   ► and a weird dynamic is like you want both of these sides to be underdogs they [TS]

00:49:15 ◼   ► don't it's it's strange if it was a bit strange it's a it's a minor complaint [TS]

00:49:20 ◼   ► but it is definitely one of the things I think of is the mark of a good movie is [TS]

00:49:26 ◼   ► that the more you think about the movie the more the movie rewards you for [TS]

00:49:31 ◼   ► thinking about it and bad movies are the kind of movies where you have to say I [TS]

00:50:28 ◼   ► really cared about him and that's that's the that's the most important thing is [TS]

00:50:33 ◼   ► that you care about care about because he was I thought he put in a good [TS]

00:50:41 ◼   ► character would do under the circumstances when you go sexy and funny [TS]

00:50:45 ◼   ► and remain [TS]

00:50:46 ◼   ► there a few times like now you wouldn't be acting that way in these [TS]

01:40:25 ◼   ► flick slumber parish [TS]

01:40:26 ◼   ► anyway so I mean you know the Godfather three famously is this third movie that [TS]

01:40:33 ◼   ► a lot of people which wasn't mad cause the first two are so perfect and yes [TS]

01:40:37 ◼   ► even I have ever seen the Godfather movies I know that this is the [TS]

01:40:40 ◼   ► reputation of God yeah but you know I think he's still a really good film and [TS]

01:40:46 ◼   ► would I rather have a third film just say there's another one I can wash or [TS]

01:40:50 ◼   ► would I prefer they never touched this sacred cow of the first two films and [TS]

01:40:55 ◼   ► maybe that's the case here but I think after the prequels are made for [TS]

01:40:59 ◼   ► selection was almost needed to sort of to save face to cleanse the womb but [TS]

01:41:06 ◼   ► would it be better [TS]

01:41:10 ◼   ► three Star Wars films made and nothing else no prequels not even all the other [TS]

01:41:15 ◼   ► ancillary stuff would have been nice untouched little nostalgic perfect thing [TS]

01:41:26 ◼   ► original three and nothing else I mean obviously if you could erase the [TS]

01:41:32 ◼   ► prequels from existing you would but is the prequels [TS]

01:41:36 ◼   ► paying the price of the prequels is that worth it to get what is coming in the [TS]

01:41:40 ◼   ► future [TS]

01:41:41 ◼   ► well that that depends on what the rest of the movies look like yeah I'm an idea [TS]

01:41:44 ◼   ► I guess I guess we can only sit and watch those first three films so many [TS]

01:41:47 ◼   ► times but with many many times over the course of life [TS]

01:41:52 ◼   ► can I say what do you think of the name stop killer for that thing is that what [TS]

01:41:57 ◼   ► they actually called it's called stock color isn't there to use it once and I [TS]

01:42:03 ◼   ► think they deliberately use it once they realize I mean Luke Skywalker was [TS]

01:42:06 ◼   ► originally gonna be cold Luke stocker wasn't he in the first script so I think [TS]

01:42:10 ◼   ► it's also nice to be a little not too late maybe but but I think it's [TS]

01:42:15 ◼   ► beautiful I'm now and I do have problems with that weapon I don't have problems [TS]

01:42:28 ◼   ► change and I know this is thirty years later but there have been some [TS]

01:42:32 ◼   ► incredible advances in technology that we were made privy to the original star [TS]

01:42:37 ◼   ► was if they can now if they can first convert a planet into a weapon and then [TS]

01:42:43 ◼   ► a weapon that's capable of setting up a start shooting at I mean this is [TS]

01:42:47 ◼   ► sounding a lot more Star Trek and Star Wars yeah that's a good that's a good [TS]

01:42:50 ◼   ► point there's something about that weapon that is very Star Trek ceiling [TS]

01:42:53 ◼   ► and it it it don't have the resources in the technology does be like in the next [TS]

01:43:22 ◼   ► that movies do which is always remarkably effective but I'm still is [TS]

01:43:26 ◼   ► aware when they do where you have the characters call out something that's [TS]

01:43:30 ◼   ► happening in the movie to make it less implausible and somehow when the [TS]

01:43:34 ◼   ► characters acknowledged it you just much more willing to let it go [TS]

01:43:37 ◼   ► someone like always another death star and they go oh no look the Death Star [TS]

01:48:19 ◼   ► I think if you say someone had a competent job you're saying they did [TS]

01:48:22 ◼   ► enough I think the people that made this film will be on competent I think they [TS]

01:48:27 ◼   ► were very good at making films yeah yeah yeah the reason I keep using competence [TS]

01:48:31 ◼   ► is because I'm really comparing it with someone who was quite incompetent that's [TS]

01:48:37 ◼   ► that's why I'm phrase I'm not saying that they hit only competence you know [TS]

01:48:41 ◼   ► they they weren't complicate the competence is if you have to fill up a [TS]

01:48:46 ◼   ► glass to get to excellent right they did a great job and then by definition the [TS]

01:48:51 ◼   ► glass has to be filled up to at least competence [TS]

01:48:53 ◼   ► else didn't didn't hit that mark the guy that invented all the meadow possible [TS]

01:48:58 ◼   ► basically yeah exactly so even knowing it's clearly Telegraph's Han Solo is [TS]

01:49:06 ◼   ► going today and also I mean you can if you know anything about the background [TS]

01:49:11 ◼   ► Star Wars you know that Harrison Ford is kind of a grumpy guy who was weirdly [TS]

01:49:22 ◼   ► who also had some arguments with George Lucas about whether or not Han Solo [TS]

01:49:26 ◼   ► should die in Return of the Jedi that he was very strong on the opinion that Han [TS]

01:49:31 ◼   ► Solo should die at the end of that movie so it it feels like Harrison Ford [TS]

01:49:37 ◼   ► definitely once to test out in a dramatic way if you possibly can lead it [TS]

01:49:41 ◼   ► was his previous goals so it's not surprising that he dies in this movie at [TS]

01:49:46 ◼   ► that scene was really well done and another emotional point I thought there [TS]

01:49:52 ◼   ► was a real little of real little gut punch is when he calls out then to get [TS]

01:49:58 ◼   ► his son's attention that is exactly the kind of thing that might seem like an [TS]

01:50:04 ◼   ► inconsequential spoiler if you knew it ahead of time but in the context of that [TS]

01:50:09 ◼   ► seemed to me that is actually the important review of this is like ok I [TS]

01:50:15 ◼   ► know hun solo is going to die here but that that extra kick in the gut of they [TS]

01:50:21 ◼   ► named their son Ben that that ads like this emotional emotional piece to do [TS]

01:50:27 ◼   ► that seems I thought that was that was a really nice way of adding something to [TS]

01:50:33 ◼   ► that then seeing that you know is going to play out in a certain way [TS]

01:50:36 ◼   ► how did you how did you feel about that scene yeah I had a much bigger part in [TS]

01:58:16 ◼   ► ways that I say that meeting as well how did you read originally though [TS]

01:58:20 ◼   ► well obviously thought it was being used to show there's an antagonism between [TS]

01:58:29 ◼   ► same page as general as a general I think his name is not on the same page I [TS]

01:59:11 ◼   ► confusion and also I thought they setting up something for the future they [TS]

01:59:15 ◼   ► setting up something about clowns coming later but in hindsight I think there I [TS]

01:59:20 ◼   ► would I would be shocked if they ever bring the clothes back that's that's [TS]

01:59:25 ◼   ► running outline is delivering but I also agree that began as a minor point I [TS]

01:59:32 ◼   ► think it's really well done to show that the general and Kyler and are they are [TS]

01:59:38 ◼   ► on the same sort of level again it's it's it's very new hopi in that Darth [TS]

01:59:46 ◼   ► Darth Vader in that is part of this whole establishments but he's in charge [TS]

02:01:35 ◼   ► will go on a different journey that be more suited to the actors skill set but [TS]

02:01:40 ◼   ► at the moment I think they should have had someone with a bit more authority [TS]

02:02:01 ◼   ► he's a striking looking person you know it's him right away and but in all of [TS]

02:02:07 ◼   ► his roles I have found him to be a very good actor but when he did show up in [TS]

02:02:11 ◼   ► this movie my feeling was oh it's like i I was eventually sold on him in this [TS]

02:02:17 ◼   ► role as this character and the feeling that I have is that ok yes he's a little [TS]

02:02:22 ◼   ► young but maybe he is just extremely competent at what he is doing and when [TS]

02:02:29 ◼   ► he does his big speech to the to the soldiers which was a little weird say if [TS]
