Jacen123 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 There's the irony that movies aren't written for writers but for everybody else. Also I don't believe you have to be able to do something to criticize it. I can't sing a lick but that doesn't prevent me from knowing Candlebox sucks a thousand asses. But back to the point, I also admire Poe's enthusiasm but this is probably a subject we're just not going to agree on.It's more the reverse. Any time I try to use my job or expert opinion as a basis for an argument as to why a movie blows I'm called elitist. Which is hilarious given that my knowledge of screenwriting is the least elitist thing about me. I'm insufferable in so many other ways. WE KNOW, GOSH!

Driver Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I break pretty much every rule I normally adhere to when it comes to logic, fairness, and respecting the opinions of others on two, and only two, subjects: Donald Trump and the PT.

pavonis Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Seems logical to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 That's a new internet rule. Are we still allowed to use the logical fallacy referee? Seriously, once logical fallacies are brought up outside of the Lyceum, the focus of the argument is lost. There's no point in arguing further because the whole thing is derailed. The great thing about Nightly is the wide range of expertise available. I learn from Driver's insights about storytelling, screenwriting, and the general business of Hollywood.

Metropolis Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Also, you have to acknowledge that for a lot of people, a LOT OF PEOPLE, going 20 years as fans of the OT and wondering about Anakin Skywalker and seeing Darth Vader as a badass-- getting an 8 year old with terrible dialog was never going to be satisfying.I had more of a problem with the 20 year old Anakin than with the 8 year old Anakin.

Poe Dameron Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Seriously, once logical fallacies are brought up outside of the Lyceum, the focus of the argument is lost. There's no point in arguing further because the whole thing is derailed. Well, there was a reason I snuck it onto the end of a fairly thoughtful (if I may) post in a humorous way after about the 3rd or 4th time Driver mentioned it. I didn't want to derail the thread. But someone. Not saying who. Wanted to make a big deal about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Jade Skywalker Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 There has been time travel in the EU and it was T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbleh Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 There has been time travel in the EU and it was T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E. FIFY How about Rey singing Let It Go and creating a stone bridge between Skellig Michael and Little Skellig (the other island) when she fully realizes the extent of her Force abilities?

Driver Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Star Trek proved you can tell good time travel stories within an iconic series. (They told bad ones too but still...)Yeah, but it was part of their DNA from the beginning and they use it frequently. Nothing kills a story faster for me if alternate realities or time travel is suddenly introduced. Just cause Star Wars has scifi elements doesn't mean it would work. I can't even wrap my head around how they'd do it. It would seem so out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good God a Bear Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Nothing kills a story faster for me if alternate realities or time travel is suddenly introduced. Just cause Star Wars has scifi elements doesn't mean it would work.. All of JJ's projects either has alternate realities, time travel, sun flares or all.

Driver Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 And for the 7357852467th time, JJ's part is done. He's not overseeing the ST, Kathleen Kennedy is and the writers/directors of the next two movies are already doing their thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
