Is Star Wars: The Last Jedi an Empire Strike Back Remake?

How does Sup Forums feel about The Last Jedi being a remake of the Empire Strikes Back?

Some early similarities have already been discovered

>There's a battle with AT-ATs (pic related)

>Rey is trained by an old Jedi living in a tree.

>Finn is shown recovering in a medical pod (similar to the Bacta Pod Luke used in ESB)

>The First Order literally strikes back after the destruction of Star Killer Base.

>A rumored opening scene shows an attack on a hidden Resistance base similar to the attack on Hoth, followed by the AT-AT scene mentioned earlier.

How does Sup Forums feel about seeing Empire Strikes Back: Part 2?

>Star Killer Base
>this was a thing
>this actually happened.

god damn this franchise is fucking doomed. and the worst part is, its just going to keep making more and more money.

why did you sell out george.

I have literally no hope for Episode 8. Disney already proved that they don't give a single shit about Star Wars except for using it as another cash cow like Marvel, which by the way is the reason why they're pumping out a new film every year for the rest of eternity. Episode 8 is going to be more of the same: An OT nostalgia-pandering rehash that will do nothing new or interesting, and manbabies and normies will be perfectly fine with this because "DUDE LUKE SKYWALKER IS BACK LMAO XD".

Star Wars is dead.

Bump

It's just another money maker. Let it be whatever they want it to be.

Star Wars should have died after Jedi.

It's like poetry...

What are you talking about, absorbing suns to power up the laser was fucking dope.

Fuck, I thought it was the remaking of podracing.

It would be the safest possible direction for Disney to go in, so of course they're doing it, is there even a point to speculating?

It will take the big story beats of that movie and put them in here, but leave out the slower "duller" parts making the movie feel like a hollow theme park ride, like The Force Awakens.

Yes it is. Fooled me once with TFA. I didn't pay for Rogue One and I won't pay for this. I pirated RO when the bluray rip came out. God damn what a boring movie that was. I can't remember a single character's name besides Jyn. Remember when it was meant to be a war film? Fuck Star Wars. Fuck Star Wars.

...

>fucking dope.
kill yourself retard nigger

>I consider a movie to be bad because I thought it belonged to a different genre before watching it
oh, look, a fucking idiot

I would've still enjoyed it if it was a good film. It wasn't. Little passive aggressive pussy. Hey retard, do you make threads about the haggard lead actress or LE BASED MADS?

I don't care because I doubt I will ever see it in my lifetime, and if I do, it will be a decade from now drunk out of my mind.
I will probably read the Wikipedia synopsis so I can understand the swath of incoming shitposting.

Absorbing suns seems like a more powerful weapon than being able to blow up a planet.

A
FUCKING
TREE

Here's another thing. Who is the other person that's standing with Luke and Rey?

Roughly the same height as Rey. It can't be Finn because we know he's off with another character.

Is this Kylo?

but rogue one was good

It's a nigger
String him up

what makes you think that giant statue infront of Rey is Luke, are you retarded?

if you're a fucking retard maybe

thats luke... to the left of rey is a statue

Not a Statue. Clearly a man in flowing robes. He's just closer to the camera than the other two characters.

same

yeah

The thing i find most retarded about the new star wars is they just turned it into yet another multi ethnic scifi setting even though it doesnt make sense especially in starwars.

>multicultural cast doesn't make sense in a sci-fi space fantasy film full of aliens, robots and magical wizards
>it's the races getting along that breaks the immersion

those are rocks she stacked with the force.

>Rey is trained by an old Jedi living in a tree.

Wouldn't it be great if Luke has Rey carry him around on his back.

>there were only white people in the first six movies
>it only makes sense for there to be white humans for some reason a long time ago in a galaxy far far away

sure thing Sup Forums drone

So let me get this straight.
1) Disney, trying to get nerd creed is ignoring the prequels OK
2) One of the flaws pointed out in the prequels is the pandering, and repetition of tropes to mimic the original trilogy

They then proceed to basically do 3 point but up to 11 while at least the prequels had new, inspiring aesthetics.
I liked Rogue one but I agree with your point about being a war movie.

I mean it looks like a rock but Chewbacca and R2D2 are also present on Ach-To.

So from this literal minute of footage, here are the only remotely similar shots/scenes to Empire:
>small ships face off bigger land ships
>Rey trains with a Jedi master in seclusion
That's it...calm down.

>even though it doesnt make sense especially in starwars
Come on nigga. I hate forced diversity as much as anyone else but this is a fantasy movie.

>forced diversity meme
If you were paying tax dollars to these films, you'd have an argument. If you owned stock in Star Wars brands, you would have an argument. If you were mandated to see these children's films, you would have an argument.

I'm not trying to argue so settle down, shitskin.

Ok, when theres out of place races, its annoying.
White people in an ancient egyptian setting,
Blacks in Arthurian legend,
Blah blah,
but how the fuck is starwars race exclusive you stupid fucking Sup Forums faggot?

Jedi suck too. There are only 2 good SW films out there.

I'm white, Sup Forums.

r/the_donald may be more your speed.

I'm not even Sup Forums either, reddit.

>i'm white

>calls me a shitskin
>muh forced diversity meme
>"woah now, I'm not Sup Forums"

wonder what happened

Well you sure showed me with that ebin image macro you had saved up for this precise comeback.

Is this your first day here, fellow 4channer?
Don't worry, it might take you some time to become more well versed in the site culture that other veterans such as myself enjoy.

There is a huge difference between typical Hollywood re-skinning of old material for new markets and paying genuine homage to the greatness that has come before. I would love to see a spiritual remake of The Empire Strikes Back. For one, it fits very well within my cliched view of history- what comes around goes around. In that way it fits very well. We are doomed to repeat our mistakes. This approach could work, but only with a decisive final conclusion at the end. Either the Dark side or the Light side is ultimately victorious- and in the end both conclusions lead to a stable, preferable galaxy. The Galaxy will sort itself out and use all of us as pawns. I'd like that kind of philosophical conclusion to this. And we have been promised a conclusion.

IT WAS ALL ACCORDING TO THE WHITE GENOCIDE JEWISH CULTURAL MARXIST FRANKFURT TAKEOVER REEE

>4channer

>other veterans such as myself enjoy.
Oh Christ, kill yourself you hugboxing faglord.

:^)

>clearly a man in flowing robes
why aren't the robes flowing then, dumbass?

and how come the "other person" standing behind Rey is wearing the same attire as Luke when it cuts to him saying "it's time for the jedi to end"

just take the L my boy.

Every stars war is the same, I don't get what the fuck everyone is talking about, it's like getting mad at your favorite flavor of pop tart

>why aren't the robes flowing then, dumbass?

Watch the trailer. They are.

So topical

Let's dig into that. Even if they keep the recipe the same, they chance the packaging format and presentation. I agree with you, Star Wars is Star Wars. Some people didn't like when Tony the Tiger actually got a name, either. It's still a fucking tiger, like it.

The only real reason to see Star Wars anymore is for the special effects, score and sound design.
The films are technically brilliant but the characters and story have never really been that original.

You just described every Star Wars movies

So instead of using tow cables to fight the AT-ATs they're going to kick up a sandstorm instead?

So what happens after episode 9? Do they remake the prequels or go back and re-remake a new hope?

>Let's dig into that.
>like it.
kill yourself

they aren't.

Empire > New Hope > Return > Revenge > Awakens = Rogue > Attack of the Clones > Phantom Menace

I dare you faggots to prove me wrong. Can't wait for RLM to spend months endlessly shit talking the Han Solo movie, get hype for the awful memes!

Right? How dare that user like or enjoy anything??#!! Holy shit I am literally shaking, he should be shot.

But btw, the prequels are secretly a masterpiece...

They start doing trilogies to the spin off movies. R2d2 trilogy, Lambo Calinsean trilogy, yoda trilogy, Jaba hut trilogy, star destroyer trilogy

The characters are very specifically meant to be archetypes, they are crafted to represent, for lack of a better descriptor, Jungian archetypes. The characters are meant to be interchangeable with people you know, people you've read about, just people. Star Wars is a fable, specifically populated with characters we well know from grade school- it's greek/latin/etc mythological personas presented in a way palatable to modern audience. The only reason to watch Star Wars is to identify with characters, see how they fit in with their fictional world, and assimilate that understanding of things into your personal life. Lucas intended Star Wars to be his personal modern Mythology to live with, and in turn, egotistically, help us live with.

I am actually hopeful for the new Solo movie just given the cast alone. It has the strongest cast I've seen in a Star Wars film.

Every Star Wars movie = every other Star Wars movie.

Literally 8 movies of a guy not having a good feeling about what he's doing

>yfw even the spinoffs are better than the prequels

You ignorant child. Reading comp 101- I wasn't talking specifically to you, moron. I was expressing the basic ideas behind the project. Your mother should of strangled you in the crib.

>I wasn't talking specifically to you, moron.
I didn't think you were for a second, you just seem like a total faggot user.

Are you fucking deaf, they are all gonna be the same fucking movie. Every star was movie is the same fucking movie dammit. It's gonna be a some goes around it's like " I want those plans" or let's get out of here before it's too late" and the main guy is like "but what about the force" and the wise old ones always saying" you better be careful with that force if you know what's good for you" then the bad guy comes out and like "there's more to it than that watch out!"

Well, given the chance I would fuck you to death, now that I've gotten to know you. cheers

>I would fuck you to death
dirty fucking queer. kill yourself

>WAHHHHHHH!

And it would still be better than the prequels.

Just because it's shaped like a donut doesn't mean it isn't a Death Star. Please stop this, every fucking Star Wars movie is the same damn movie

Keep crying you salty faggot.
-ANH was original, did the Death Star gimmick first time

-Empire had no Death Star
-Jedi had a death Star
-Phantom had a droid ship
-No ship in Clones
-No ship in Revenge
-death star plan heist in Rogue
-bigger death star in TFA

So not counting the first time it's ever done, it's done exactly the same, two other times. Out of 8 movies out...

Kill yourself.

go on..

>No it's not a taco because it's not folded see look now it's a tostada!

It's the same fucking shit bro. All the Star Wars movies are like everything you would find in a Taco Bell menu.

The only salty people here are the ones doing this shit >>>>>>>>>>

I just literally explained how you were wrong...

all of these edgy tough guy posters.

then you see them in real life and suddenly they're all shy geeks.

I guess 3 rocks stacked ontop of one another looks like a man to me too.

It's a faux ultimate evil, the Death Star. It's a useless lump on its own. It's the anti-maguffin. It's a foil to the real good, and a shadow of the real threat.

Who on here is acting like a tough guy, are you that sensitive?

Perhaps all the youngsters still peddling that ky shtick. You can see threw that though, can't you? There is nothing going on here that anyone would get excited over in a face to face. You get that right?

all of you guys are.

I just find it funny that people here are getting more and more edgy. It used to be something to make fun of , now its the culture. it's hilarious how you guys act these days.
maybe I was jaded, left for a while and came back and it's like seeing retards arguing about bulshit (which is fine) but with "attitude" like their taunts and insults mean anything. and then some people actually get heated over it too.

yeah I understand that. thats why I found it funny.

I bet you're under 24 kid.

You said it- going away and coming back. This is the nadir, the heart of it. Sup Forums will never be the way you remember it. It's like a fond childhood memory, it never lives up. Sup Forums is like crack, you're never going to get that same, first high, yet you always slink back, craving, hoping.

I would watch it if Luke will be an insane hippie, similar to Yoda was in episode V. But I think he'll be just an old whiny faggot.

It actually gets better and better for me, the more I'm here the more I understand it and the more I understand human nature. Reddit is the fakest place where everyone is worried about getting down voted and trying to come up with the most clever configuration of a meme that's relevent to a post, just like real life.

But this place is like the random stupid thoughts in my head it's a filter less wave humanity in its most purest form.

>Sup Forums will never be the way you remember it
actually this is right on the money

either I changed or the place has changed. maybe a bit of both.

>insane hippie,
get a dictionary you fucking nigger

Back in the day we used to call it hivemind, and we were proud of it.

What was it like before?

>whites in an ancient Egyptian setting

So, historically accurate?

god i hope star wars implodes after this movie
i mean really whats left to like?

It isn't a hive mind, more like a dream a bout another dream where you see the same faces but in odd places. It seems like a hive mind because there's a lot of echoing, but really it's just the dream reusing the same sounds to build random situations

a lot more porn and loli/waifu centric and less sensitive about everything.

kys wasn't a meme or go to saying when you have no argument (which is ridiculously overused btw) and there was a lot more conversation to actually be had.

though the fucking spam was annoying. reason why we have these captchas now.

though I'm just remembering the good times. now its kind of bland and repetitive.
