Star Wars IX has finished principal photography

[PanzerKraken]

Hopefully JJ doesn't include another Leia Poppins-like moment. It was probably the first time going to a cinema where I could hear the audience be shocking silent with concern one moment, and erupt in laughter the next. Don't think that was the desired effect they were going for.

The silence in the theater at the time this happened. Then she started flying.... the amount of people laughing YIKES. Such a cringe moment

* sigh * can we just fastforward a few months so people can find a new way to describe things they don't like and spam it.

I can only take ooof, yikes and cringe for so much longer.

My theater was cheering and clapping during that scene.

I really like John William's rendition of Leia's theme during that moment.

Same. Silence, awe, clapping. At the cast and crew screening and the opening night.

Blandness incoming!

 

[DavidDesu]

My God. Been a huge fan since the originals and this is the only one I needed to see once.

You've only seen TLJ once? I think you owe it to yourself as a big SW fan to try it again. And hell even a third time. The film has grown on me a lot. The problematic things are still there but they recede on repeat viewings and if anything the high points seem higher too. I think that's because watching in the cinema, with all that anticipation, I was too busy gestating on the bad things to even notice the good. Seriously try again. I think Luke's role here is mesmerising, the whole climax on Crait gets better everytime I watch it.

I love it when people make up bullshit about how an audience reacted to something they didn't personally like.

Y'all are crazy if you don't think they're coming back for Episodes 10-12 in another 5 years.

There's Rian's trilogy and the GoT guys series of films. And Iger has already commented about them slowing down the output of these films. It's going to be awhile before we see a continuation of these characters on the big screen

Love those 3! Oscar specially!

My theater was like a 4th full (they were basically playing the movie in every room) so it was a nice split.

Started with a "oh shit", then an "um..." then I went with it. My issue is more with the effects than what actually happened.

 

[jon bones]

i wonder if JJ circled back to Finn to give that character some much needed love after TLJ

Tell me they didn't go back to Jakku AGAIN!!!!

 

[Tetra-Grammaton-Cleric]

The Leia scene looks a tad awkward simply because of the logistics; she's frozen and can't move but willing herself back towards the ship.

Regardless, it's a great scene because it gives us a glimpse of that Skywalker bloodline and potential.

I'm sort of in between on the scene personally, but I just think it's really funny how diverse audience reactions can be.

Did the whole theater laugh too?

Because that's what I'm calling bullshit on.

I've heard these laughter stories for years yet despite my constant trips to the theater I have yet to encounter it.

It's mostly bullshit; a way for people to validate their dislike of something through fiction.

Wonder what John Boyega is looking at.

He looks straight up inspired lmao.

I agree.

Personally i love it for that reason, showing her using the force was something that was missing from the original movies so it was neat here.

Indeed. I am in the UK and was shocked people audibly laughed as usually the audience is silent LOL
But it was a terrible scene after what had been a set of great scenes tbh.

 

[Waffles]

I had a good sample of every reaction during my viewings. The first one, everyone was dead silent. Second time, mostly silent with some chuckles, third time huge cheers and claps, final time a few people cheering and a laugh or two.

It looks a little goofy to me, but I love what it represents, so I love it.

 

[Burrman]

Awesome trio. Can't wait!

 

[Trigonometrize]

The Leia scene was really badly done. But I can't not believe some are exaggerating their audience's reaction.

I actually thought this was one of the best moments

 

[Surfinn]

I saw the film 7 times in theaters and never heard anybody break out in laughter. That said I always have felt that scene is poorly shot and looks silly. It ripped me out of the film the first time I saw it.

However I love the score and everything right after this moment.

But no matter. I'm so fucking hyped for EP9 and I hope we get footage soon.

 

[Stephen Home]

And the rendering of Carrie Fisher's mouth has just begun!

 

[The Emperor]

Guys why the hell would some of us lie about audience reactions. This is a polarizing film end of. Get over it, it's been a year. And this franchise aint a stranger to polarizing audience reactions either lolmao

I saw it first show opening night and there was a mix of gasps and laughter at Leia flying :(

why are the prequels dissed in star wars threads?

why are FFXIII and FFXV dissed in any random FF thread?

Don't be obtuse you know the answer. Polarizing film is polarizing. These threads will be this way for a while.

 

[Halbrand]

The scene looks a little weird but with Carrie Fisher's death I find it weird how anyone found the scene funny, I thought it was really emotional

And no one in my three theatre showing laughed during that scene but I did hear laughs at the most bizarre times, like Luke telling Rey she want straight for the dark.

 

[JDSN]

Hopefully they don't underuse Boyega and Issac this time around instead of wasting time with Twilight stuff.

 

[Schlorgan]

I laughed at the Leia scene only because I read something on Twitter before seeing the movie about her propelling herself through space by farts and I had no idea what they were talking about until it happened.

I never said it wasn't. I just think it's stupid that we just spent 50 posts talking about a scene and an audience reaction to a scene in a thread about a different movie finishing filming just so someone could get their potshot in at a movie they didn't like. But that's just me.

 

[Deleted member 4034]

It probably would've gone over better if she wasn't moving so fast. Maybe a gradual speed would've sold it better.

 

[Dysun]

Leia Poppins was followed in my theater by silence and someone yelling "wow this is stupid"
I was stunned

 

[Lord Vatek]

People who laugh at scenes that aren't supposed to be funny or yell out smartass remarks in theaters are assholes.

Your dismissal of "mostly bullshit" just goes to show that you weren't there at the Parks AMC Dolby in Arlington, TX when some annoying guy spit some hilarious awesome and people laughed -- I am sure you aren't the kind of person who doesn't claps and cheers in movies either and dismisses that as fiction as well. Also I can assume that your theaters are not well stocked with liquor and beer like the AMCs down here in Texas, because when there is a late night showing of Star Wars -- people are happily faded and having a good time.

Oh I'm sure it happens from time-to-time but I seriously doubt it occurs with the frequency that I've encountered over the years, especially when people use it as evidence that a film they didn't like (or a component therein) was broadly panned.

Hence I used the word 'mostly'. I'm sure it happens and I'm sure it happened with TLJ but I'm also certain it wasn't as commonplace as some would like to believe.

I've personally encountered these 'laughter stories' for two decades and I'd wager 90 - 95% of them are either outright fabrications or embellishments. (I laughed and my friends laughed and so that means everyone else did too)

Every SW thread inevitably gets dogged with TLJ hate.

It's what the fandom has been reduced to unfortunately.

Fairly lengthy principal photography period at over 6 months. Can't wait for a trailer in April.

 

[Ithil]

When I saw a film I didn't like, the entire theatre stood up and applauded my unique and interesting opinion and begged me to share it in threads for years to come, no matter the subject.
