I like the part in the one movie where they land in a cave but it turns out to be a big worm haha pew pew star wars

Something that's missing from the new films, at least for me, is the sense of conceptual play that made the first couple films (and the Indian Jones movies) so tantalizing. I love the almost Borgesian concept of getting this slice of a story that hints at events that came before, but now the films are just kind of blandly explicating, as if their only purpose to exist is to fulfill the duty of providing more information. Rogue One in particular felt like a huge, dry cinematic footnote.

I mean, the French New Wave was basically a bunch of film nerds revolting because they were tired of how commercial movies were becoming, but apparently the goal of the TLJ remakers is to create a version that's as "universally acceptable" as possible (lmao), which is essentially the opposite. If they do somehow manage to get something going, I hope every aspect of it is filmed because I would really enjoy watching a bunch of obsessive nerds wade neck-deep into Hollywood, like the documentary about the horrible dude behind Boondock Saints. I just don't understand what a "universally acceptable" version of Star Wars would be - the reason the first one was such a smash was because it was so unexpectedly unique and strange and unlike everything else, but now it seems like the whole point of Star Wars is to be as much of more of the same as possible.

You must be joking.
