I am looking forward to the introduction of the new canonical way to deal with force ghosts.

You know i cant eat your ghost chips!
jrockjesse
As much as I like his work, I don’t think he is a good fit for a Star Wars film.
CriticizeMePlease
I was disappointed in the hate Hayden Christiansen got on Twitter after the announcement of the Obi Wan series. People never focus on good
bouncebounceandtheclaw
Love his work. If you liked JoJo Rabbit, Hunt for The Wilderpeople is great, too. Laughs, cries, laughs, cries, it’s like his thing.
GrassssssssTastesBad
If you haven't seen Jojo Rabbit, DO IT. He is unreal and everyone is unreal. Just stacked cast

This deserves better +1
MrStealUrChange
There is so much lore is star wars it would be super swell if we stopped with the exact same story repeated plz. The death star is dead.

I’m hopeful Thor ragnarock and Jojo Rabbit we’re both very enjoyable

What We Do In The Shadows is the Galaxy Quest of vampire movies

I love how many Maori are involved in Star Wars. It's only 2 so far but that's more than any other int'l franchise I know.
captaingeerex
Don’t forget Keshia Castle-Hughes, Daniel Logan, and Jay Laga’aia!
stinkbeaner
They're Maori Star Wars people? I only ever knew Tamuera Morrison and now Taika.

I can't speerate he rfrom whale rider, even met he r afew years back at my local football club and thought it the whole time

Heh fair enough. She was barely in Star Wars.

I'm still fascinated by What We Do In The Shadows.

Fans ruin franchises.
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
This is true. But studios need to know when their time is up.. Toy Story 3. Ended PER FEC TLY!!! My 7 year old cousin left the cinema happy>
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
me, a 25 year old (watched the 1st film at age 6) left the cinema happy. My mother, age 55 left the cinema happy!!! They made a fourth......
leogfilho
Dave Filoni and Jon Fraveau are big time fans of star wars and everything that came from those men's hands are gold
stulfer
No disney does tho
Dagordae
Clone Wars. The worst Star Wars movie, so bad that the fans tend to pretend it doesn’t exist.
Zadwanaa
I know... mcu has done horribly. Ugh, stupid disney! Way to ruin the MCU!
stulfer
Except we're talking about star wars, changing the subject matter is an ineffective argument
Zadwanaa
Previous comment was fans ruins franchises, you said disney does, i used an example of a exceptionally popular franchise. Owned by disney.
Zadwanaa
So i think that applies. Now if you ment disney ruins star wars and not the fans, message got lost
beerbatteredkush
People who let fans influence their opinions on what they like ruin life
mikeatike
I'm trying to think of a franchise thst doesn't have fans. Maybe Burger King.
EveryoneWhoDisagreesWithMeIsLiterallyHitler
bruh, right? how tf are they still open... their chicken tastes like formaldehyde..
mattbl
I used to love BK. Back when other places were charging for extra sauce, BK would do anything you asked. Anything...........................
mikeatike
Anything? o.O
KsuviKhor
I’m a fan of Burger King... but I also meow randomly throughout the day.
JustSomeDegenFromUpcountry
That’s not a very normal thing to do meow is it?
KsuviKhor
I had a very talkative cat, Sherry, and she absolutely loved it when I talked back to her. It became a habit, unfortunately.
Peter4498
My roommates and I used to meow when we got back to see who all was home (they would meow back). Never had a cat.
RealWorldNPC
You misspelled Kathleen Kennedy.

A CEO with a political agenda ruin franchises.
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
That guy is literally Hitler.
shawnemack
The key to enjoying any new Star Wars movie is to stop expecting them to live up to some exalted standard that is impossible to reach
mattbl
I'm really liking Mandalorian. It has some very inconsistent writing and some other issues but it's just a fun experience if you let it be.
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
I'm sorry, I'm afraid "fun" is no longer accepted in our judgement of entertainment.
ReginaKasteen
On the one hand that's true, but let's not pretend that the last few movies have been all that great to begin with.
Dagordae
Or the one before those. Or the 3 before that one. Or the two before those. Or the 3 before that, really. The OT was more pretty than
Dagordae
Objectively great. Cliche ridden and incredibly inconsistent writing and acting.
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
Yep. Just go watch the original trilogy and realize it was camp, inconsistent, and oddly written too and just enjoy them for what they are.
rocinanteismyhorse
Yes this....so much this...
EveryoneWhoDisagreesWithMeIsLiterallyHitler
all i want is a main character that has to develop. Rey is perfect from the outset. good w sabres, good w force, better mechanic than Han
EveryoneWhoDisagreesWithMeIsLiterallyHitler
she had nowhere to go, and thats boring
Dagordae
Yeah, except none of that is true. She gets her ass handed to her by a half dead and crippled opponent, her amazing act of maintenance was
Dagordae
Ripping out a single component that she only knew about because she was there when they installed it(Also, Han’s a shit mechanic. There’s a
Dagordae
Reason the Falcon spends a majority of the OT broken) and her grand Force trick was eventually mind tricking a single stormtrooper. You know
AspieGamer
Yeah not like she crashes the falcon, is impulsive, foolish, taken advantage of by snoke and palpy.
shadowex3
The point is that she's better than everyone at everything without ever trying or having any justification.
moocowincog
Disagree. IMO nothing bad that happens is her fault. She's a Mary Sue.
Booberham
A Mary Sue is a self insert character. She’s not that.
Ardranor
(originally in fan fiction) a type of female character who is depicted as unrealistically lacking in flaws or weaknesses.
DeeDoubleYu
Finally someone gets it. Nothing will ever live up to podracing.
DeeDoubleYu
I'm being sincere btw, the last thing I want is for anyone to mistake my beliefs on the tightness of podracing.
IdUpvoteYouButYoureAt69
I like where you stand chump, my tightest respect homie
eadanke
I hope it's off the main line. I like the dude's work and would like to see what he does unrestrained by the core story.
Rulweylan
I disagree. I want all future Star Wars stuff to have to deal with whatever he feels like making canon.
Noodlesocks
Whole franchise needs to start distancing itself from the original saga. Let it be done and start making new stories in Star Wars lore.
RobMx80
The Patty Jenkins directed Rogue Squadron has me excited too.
grimnorseman
In the teaser, when your the subtle music-mix between TopGun and Star Wars..made me giggle like a 10 year old again :)
copingcabana
It's gonna be about a log who had a chiiiiild.

Where’d it come from?! Aaah!
SpammaJamma
I can't wait. Didn't care about Thor til I saw Ragnarok.
khora
I cared about Thor but not the movies.
coronakilla
One of my favorite movies. Its just so much fun. My god!
blumpk1npie
I still don't care about any MCU characters but it was a fun movie and it was funny
ThrowAwayAcct0000
I've loved Loki since the first Thor movie, but wasn't pumped about the Thor movies themselves until Ragnarok.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
The 1st one was good. The 2nd one was regrettable.
fiddlemyhiddle
Prior to Ragnorak, Loki really was the only good thing going for those movies. Tom Hiddleston carried those first two films.
flamingflamingo
I feel like that was the worst Thor movie, except maybe the first one. It was funny but it felt like a slapstick, pie-throwing comedy.
sometwatstolemyusername
Am I the only one that didn't like Ragnarok? Even Dark World was better than that
MechaNinja
This may be the first Star Wars thing I've cared about since Lucasarts said the EU was null and void.
dbsamurai
Rogue one and TLJ are awesome tho
jikanwalker
And the prequels keep getting better
IamTheBritishEmpire
I honestly thought you meant the European Union. And was like... "Rule Britannia!"
Yojoo
Mandalorian is pretty great.
EchoWhiskyBravo
Filoni is in charge. They are bringing back the EU piece by piece.
SpaceSpeed
The UK said the same thing... we are talking about the European Union, right?
Higure
And after that, when asked why 7-9 sucked, they had the audacity to say "Well, there wasn't a lot to go on, we had to make all new stories."
Higure
I mean, even if you make the EU non-canon, you can still choose one or two fan favourites and adapt those back into canon.
GrandProtectorDark
Clone wars tv show is nice tho
Higure
https://youtu.be/5FBNbvF4OGo for the entire drawn series. I don't know about the cgi series.
Snowpossum
The drawn series is great just for its style. CW's 3d can be found on disney and of course you can always:
RonnieKielbasa
I feel like Rogue One is a gem, but Solo almost negates it. Like the light and dark side of the force lol
KarenFromTheHOA
Solo isn't that bad if you don't take it too seriously.
RonnieKielbasa
To be fair, it's the only film I've only watched once. Perhaps I owe it a rewatch. Shame it's never getting a sequel. I want more Darth Maul
TacticalSpoon
IMO Mandalorian is playing out like superfans trying to canonize as much of the EU as they can get away with.
potshot
I'm half convinced that Favreau literally went into this with the sole purpose of canonizing well every single fan favorite theory.
GifMagister
Feloni doing that work I think :)
missastromccluskey
same - had never seen or had interest in any of those movies
popotamus
I got absolutely tired of MCU movies until I watched Ragnarok. The older MCU movies did not age well
kebabpipe
Thor Ragnarok was better than Avengers Endgame. Maybe this will be better than episode 7-9.
aliencats
Ragnarock is absolute Genius
reliq68
I’m in a very small minority in the opinion that Ragnarok was terrible. And I love Waititi. ‘JoJo’ was pure art.
flamingflamingo
I agree with you. It felt too goofy.
bikeytom
Just out of interest, what didn't you like about it?
shadowex3
Loki's entire motivation was Thor being unfit to rule, then he turns into an incompetent idiot with barely any sorcery powers at all.
Chumbawumba369
Can't speak for OP but I thought it tried too hard to be funny. There was no break. It was nonstop jokes. They went overboard. Too campy.
JamesFaction
I disagree. The plot moved well and there was plenty of action. The characters were developed and had depth.
bikeytom
That's a fair point, I can respect that
reliq68
Yes. Among many other things like reducing Thor as the brunt of jokes after his character building arc in the previous 2 sequels and the
reliq68
Anvengers films. To be fair, if this had been Thor’s 1st film, it would’ve worked better as they made him ‘relatable’ Avenger. And that
Snowpossum
Thor was always one of my favorites but even I gotta admit that two was poorly executed and Rag was one of the best films of the franchise.
DukeDarkwood
Can we get Korg in Star Wars? Somehow?
NomaDv
Is he Directing Love&Thunder too?
YOUAreTheMagicMan
Same. People bash on Ragnarok, but in my mind Taika's take on it saved a dead franchise for me, ESPECIALLY after Dark World.
Fauxcused
I honestly didn't like it that much. But it had its moments
myweaknessisstrong
Honestly, right? He really handled it well.
probablyshouldbedoingwork
The first two seemed like they took themselves far too seriously for Marvel films. Ragnarok fixed that
iamthisguy247
I always felt the first one did a good job mixing humour and drama. Not nearly as well as Ragnorok, but fairly well. I might be alone though
BozoThePie
I don't wanna be all "I liked it before it was cool", but I kept telling people how great Loki was for years before avengers came out
BozoThePie
The scene where he consoles Thor was so amazing, because he played it completely straight, no obvious scheming and backstabbery or anything
PaladinAstro
I like Thor a lot, and he grows a lot as a character in the first one. It kind of hits the spot of "fish out of water" meets redemption arc.
skooterLaughin
Nah, I'll second that.
DynamaxAgumon
I also really liked the first Thor movie. The second one is probably my least favorite Marvel movie though.
Nobanob
It goes Hulk, then Dark World for me. I will like both movies, but they are pale in comparison to the rest.
SendMeYourGenitals
Well this is an interesting thread. I haven't seen any of the Thor movies, but everyone i know HATED Ragnarok.
iamthisguy247
Really? I’ve only ever heard positives. A few said it was too jokey, but not many.
JeanLucPicard
And Jojo Rabbit is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
polkapowa
Ok I have not been convinced by the prequels, by the new sequels or most of star wars stuff since Shadow of the Empire, but ... THIS ! YES !
SomeDetroitGuy
Rogue One was great, Mandalorian is perfection.
polkapowa
Mandalorian is OK, but because everything else was so forgettable, it stands out. Rogue one had good casting and directing, badly written.
xxBOOPxx
JoJo Rabbit, but replace Hitler with Darth Vader.

Jojo Rabbit is - I think - the best modern film treatment of Hitler. If he could pull that off, he can probably do a Star War

Didn't he also direct one of the better episodes of the Mandolorian as well? (and played IG-11)

Justabutt
This film is absolutely underrated. Great film.
Lionskull
He actually did ruin the story of Ragnarok and planet hulk. the movies were good but they butchered the story lines to shreds.
IHearVoicesWhenITalk
He didn't write Ragnarok though, he directed.
SuperLuigiBrothers
Oh no, they weren't 1:1 recreations... The horror...
Lionskull
I don't think those story lines should have been movies. they are multi arcs. they should have been tv shows.
SuperLuigiBrothers
Thor Ragnarok worked just fine as a movie
Lionskull
it was a good movie, but it used ragnarok, planet hulk, and removed the possibility of world war hulk which was a lot of story for 1 movie.
DougDeNasty
I don't know, when people find out about him directing Scout troopers to punch baby Yoda...
minigunner90m
He's not the one you should be worried about. Its the commitee that will try to turn the script into a profit generator

Yes. Also the end sequence of Boy is the whole cast reenacting the zombie dance sequence from the thriller video.

I have never cried so hard and laughed so hard simultaneously in a movie. That’s how you know it’s good.

Penguinofmyspirit
Is it as rough as Boy was to watch?

I liked Boy but already forgot all about it. Jojo is rather unforgettable.
iamthisguy247
So you don’t want his movie about space nazis to be like his movie about real Nazis.
frankenmullet22
If he makes it, im gonna watch it. I would like to be in control of my emotions tho.I was laughing and sobbing like a madman in jojo rabbit
iamthisguy247
Yeah was a great movie. Its like I should have expected a movie about Nazi Germany to have a heartbreaking scene, yet I still wasnt prepared

frankenmullet22
Im scared to watch it, I wasn't right for a week after jojo rabbit

Do it, with tissues for your sad tears and happy tears. It’s amazing! There is also “Boy” which is incredible too
IFavouriteEveryPostISee
.
AstronautChicken
I'm about to start crying right now at the very mention of it!
Daevram1123
That movie is an emotional roller-coaster. One minute you're laughing, the next sobbing uncontrollably, laugh again, then red shoes.
MonarchLamoura
It hurt even more knowing that when the one guy came to his house during the inspection to check on him it was because of that
Statera
Red shoes were an absolute gut-punch
frankenmullet22
My mom played both parenting roles when I was young and lost it at that scene
RegularSizedRudy
After red shoes scene I noticed how many times her feet were at his eye level during the movie. Pool, bicycle scene. Foreshadowing

The Beatles and Roy Orbison in German too, brilliant
Hammertulski
Dude's quickly become my favorite. The behind-the-scenes documentaries from The Mandalorian are so worth watching.
idontlikepickingusername
Yeah, I've only watched a couple so far but they're pretty interesting.
rocinanteismyhorse
Wait til you watch what he did in Clones Wars and Rebels. Makes even the Han Solo movie much better
Hammertulski
What did he do in Clone Wars? Solo is fun just to watch Bettany and Glover act circles around everyone else.
rocinanteismyhorse
I was talking about Filoni
Hammertulski
Ah, I figured the topic here was Waititi. Yeah, Filoni is as close to a true SME of Star Wars as one can get.
rocinanteismyhorse
You are correct, I thought I replied to someone talking about Filoni, but I may have messed it up haha
