I wouldn't say he shat on it but he's clearly not a fan haha.
He's a talented writer though and his detachment from the source material might be more of a help than a hindrance.

Because a lot of people on this forum are only progressive when it suits them or their arguments.
I was really annoyed that that thread's moronic OP chose to put an apparent spoiler right in the thread title. Which I only know is a spoiler because it has since been edited out with "(spoiler)". Like fuck off with that.
I've just accepted that I'm gunna be spoiled. Already been hit with major spoilers, it sucks but whatever. People can't help themselves but ruin shit for others
Especially when they started another spoiler thread (despite there already being a spoiler thread in the hangouts section).
I...
As someone who's read the spoilers it sounded like just speculation to me.
I asked a couple of months ago, but how much has leaked now?
Basically the whole plot, but there's definitely a lot of important details and context missing.
I'm pretty happy with the majority of it myself.
I wonder why JJ's two movies seem to leak so much? I remember on TFA someone leaked the shooting script to I think Jason Ward.
Probably someone(s) at Bad Robot.
TLJ was only produced by Lucasfilm. TFA and TROS are co-produced by both Lucasfilm and Bad Robot, so there's just more opportunity for things to be seen or trade hands.
Hoping I can make it without being spoiled. I remember after the TFA premiere clicking on an official SW account tweet and the first reply to it had a pic of Han Solo being killed.
It's insane that leaked in November 2014. I read a leak that Han was killed by his own son before he ever got to meet Luke and I couldn't believe it.
All the TLJ spoilers are only leaked when the movie premiered a week early, and I just couldn't stop myself finding out what was going to happen to Luke. I think knowing the spoilers actually made it better.
Pretty sure the shooting script of TROS hasn't leaked so we're probably in a much more vague situation than for TFA
I remember the leaks for ROTS, the entire novelization, I forget which one, leaked months before the movie opened. It seemed like we had new pictures every day.
This was the first picture I remember seeing for the movie. A fully completed shot just leaked out, it was pretty hype.

*narrator* It intended up not being hype. 😜This was the first picture I remember seeing for the movie. A fully completed shot just leaked out, it was pretty hype.
Eh it's still pretty unique seeing an actual beheading in a Star Wars movie, like Thanos in Endgame. But it would have been cool if Anakin had hung on to Dooku's lightsaber.
Is the trailer confirmed for MNF next week? I'm getting anxious waiting for this damn thing.
If it's not next week then the movie is canceled!

This movie has been out for 14.5 years and the symbolism of Anakin holding red and blue lightsabers in this moment only just now occurred to me lol
It's amazing how much Lucas himself nailed the fundamental problem with the prequels.
"That's about another twenty percent of this story treatment. The first film is twenty percent, the second film is twenty percent and I then ended up with a third film. The problem was the third film was actually more like eighty percent of the story. So, I was sitting there with a lot more story to tell than I actually had time to tell it. It was the reverse of what I had in the first two films. I constantly had to cut it down and cut it down."
The first two are almost a waste while the third one could have been great if it wasn't so rushed. The thing is, the first two could have had a really great story too. They didn't need to be just backstory for the third movie.

All he had to do was make Anakin likable and his turn heartbreaking for the audience. It was anything but that.
Indeed. Ashoka especially would have added so much to the prequels.
Attack of the clones era should have been episode 1
I think the clone army plot should have been built up since ep I, so the central conflict would flow more evenly than: First movie is a local trade skirmish that gets resolved by the end, second movie is a lot of build up to the very start of a war (In the last 20 minutes) and third movie is the end of the war plus a mad rush to get Anakin to be Darth Vader.
Phantom Menace feels so disconected from the rest of the trilogy, it's so weird.
I'm doing a rewatch of the Star Wars movies in the lead up to The Rise of Skywalker/The Mandalorian and I just finished RotJ.
Lotta nostalgia for the OT and they still hold up so well. Ranking the movies as I rewatch them but...
1. A New Hope
2. The Empire Strikes Back
3. Return of the Jedi
May get some push back on that but that's how I feel. They're all such great movies and reminded me why SW is so special. They really are great movies...
Now for the Prequels. Kinda Funny is also doing a rewatch of all the movies and its fascinating seeing what they think as I go along too.
