Kevin Smith Visited the Set of Star Wars Episode IX and Saw Some Stuff
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
I thought it was the best SW movies since Empire. It makes me laugh that everyone's welcoming back Hollywood's favorite mediocre journeyman director to 'fix' the movies.
Regarding "career best performance": that would be weird to say about a young actor, which makes me think he means Mark Hamill or Billy Dee Williams. What other old timers would be there?
Makes me believe were going back to Tatooine and "Finish the fight" over there or maybe Naboo? Close the circle and rhyme it with poetry!
Not a bad hedge.ALL MOVIES? JJ?
I expect Not Return of the Jedi
Honestly, he's a thin dude now. He could wear more form fitting clothes but his mind probably isn't there yet with body dismorphia etc.
The career best performance has to be Mark Hamill ghost Luke. That would make Smith bawl.
I am just hoping Rey kills Kylo. That fucker needs to die.

Is this where that fake leak about battle droids in TLJ actually comes true?
I know that the PT was... bad, but I fucking loved the battle droids, no lie. If they like find a cache of old CIS battle droids and use them to replace the depleted Resistance army until they can rally new troops that'd be amazing.

Episode 3 IS the best of the PT, in fairness.
The way I see it, he's got no shot at redemption through normal means. He can either be killed with or without redemption, or be redeemed via ReyLo and the power of love. The latter would absolutely ruin the ST for me, so I hope for the former.
Sebulba tipped the Sand people on Anakin's mom
Sebulba pointed the Imperials to where the Jawas were selling the droids
Sebulba got Snoke in touch with Ben
Sebulba knew Ben needed a foil, so he killed Rey's parents and kidnapped her to plant the ideas.
All because he got fuckin beat by a 10 year old.
I kinda sorta think Smith genuinely loves everything he sees. Plus the dude is a Kermode-tier crybaby.
These movies are still better than Attack of the Clones.Wilford Brimley is back with a career best performance!
You think they might pull a "part 1 / part 2" split for the upcoming one?
EVERYONE IS HERE
*cue teaser Ep 9 trailer showing off every star wars character ,including the extras in appearance order*
This one will be able to destroy and entire solar system and will be a triangle.
This is why i consume a lot of his online content. We love the same things, get emotional over the same things. I still get emotional over that Flash episode.
Yea a Rey and Kylo love story would be bafflingly stupid to me. I get it that they're both kind of fish out of water and lost in a struggle far larger than themselves so there's a connection, but the two characters as portrayed couldn't be any more incompatible.
Also Kylo is a stone cold murderer of the weak and helpless. Fuck him.
Naboo's Redemption.
Kay-Jar Binks leads a ragtag mix of Bothans, whils, and broom kids against Darth Ren and his evils knight of the new order!

I googled and this is the last bit of canon information about Sebulba:
"It was me, Rey. Yes. The author of all your pain."

You know how this ends right? I don't think I've read one person change their mind from either opinion on TLJ.
It gets better every time
Without meaning to get the topic off track I was reading a new interview with Mark Hamill where after watching the first time he didn't know what to think (maybe when that reaction video was taken?), then the next time he liked it, and then he thought it was the best Star Wars movie.
If you listen to the clip Smith says, "The things I saw... that blew my mind on a Star Wars level. All universe, all flicks..."
I interpret that to mean, "What I saw blew my mind unlike anything I've seen in a Star Wars movie," and not, "I saw things from all the movies."
Still neat to hear something about Episode IX.
THIS. I remember him being rumored to work on a Star Wars TV series like 10 years ago. After watching his review of TLJ I realized he is still auditioning for that job... and with this video... I am even more sure of it. :)
Do I believe him?
- He's a big SW fan
- But he also loved Revenge of the Sith 🤔
- But he also hated Last Jedi (at least I thought he did) 🤔
- But maybe he's just a fanboy happy to be on set?
- But he's the guy who came up with the perfect Finding Amy scene about Darth Vader's reveal
Lol I'm so torn

This might be an improvement over the constant hockey jersey at least.
I think?
...I cried too.
But ONLY during the Tattoine 'Binary Sunset' sequence! The shot remake and the music was too fucking good.
...Girlfriend laughed though. Still gives me shit for it lol
Smith visiting the set and why Luke died in TLJ, it's starting to make sense now.
Bluntman and Chronic, complete with Bong Sabers, will be trained by Rey to fight Mark Hamill's Cocknocker, (the real master mind behind everything) in the final battle.

Kevin Smith is the guy who hyped up phantom menace after seeing it? If so dunno why we are looking at him as a barometer for quality on anything.
His words excite me even though they shouldn't, because he's the most hyperbolic hypeman in all of geekosphere.
TLJ has been divisive for me. I both love a lot of things in it and am really worried about some of the choices made. How IX chooses to go forward will retroactively have a huge impact on how TLJ is ultimately seen by the fandom.
