p sure the first shot of him was CGI, and a few subsequent ones too

hard to tell if the first shot was or it was just because of the glowing haze. I've seen it twice and can't tell. when he's wiggling around and sitting down it definitely the puppet though.
"Apparently JGL voiced a character."
who is that?

ah. I was trying to figure out who JGL was and all I could come up with was Jennifer Gason Leigh

cgi porgs were lame too. if they'd figured out how to do it practically it could have been great. i did appreciate a "lone chewie thinkin' baout things" moment tho
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 16 December 2017 17:34 (six years ago) link
most of the porgs were puppets I believe

I like how in Luke’s fantasy oh himself at the end his hair is a lot less grey

yeah when he pulled off his hood at the end i was like ‘wtf I guess he stopped off for some grecian 2000 and a quick haircut on the way’

Also blue lightsaber. Spent too much of that scene internally spluttering "but that's the wrong lightsaber!" before I realised what might be going on

what is wrong with you porg haters
― akm, Saturday, 16 December 2017 19:01 (six years ago) link
The porgs got a huge positive reaction in the theatre. But I suspect everyone else hated them
― calstars, Saturday, 16 December 2017 19:12 (six years ago) link
The Porgs were a harmless diversion.

Thats why they call him Chewie

The main Rebel ship looked kinda like a giant dingleberry
if I were to venture a guess about the JGL voice it's probably the Canto Bight alien who reports the ship parked on the beach.

Kelly Marie Tran below Gwendolyn Christie in the credits is some astonishing bullshit. That’s pretty much my only complaint.
― Andrew Farrell, Saturday, 16 December 2017 19:39 (six years ago) link
Agree. Phasma was just a cameo. KMT was great
― fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal), Saturday, 16 December 2017 19:40 (six years ago) link
Kind of amazed Phasma wasnt executed for what she did at the end of TFA
wonder if she’ll turn up to get owned yet again in the next onestop trying to make Captain Phasma happen tbh (that just autocorrected to uppercase on my iPhone wtf)

wait waht that is bullshit
tran was so great - just instantly likeable and principled and charismatic. i hope she gets a lot of work off the back of this

Apparently the JGL-voiced character is called Slowen Lo

TFA and TLJ actually the first two movies she ever starred in, too!
― fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal), Saturday, 16 December 2017 21:06 (six years ago) link
An important lesson from this film is to never, ever follow a plan cooked up by Poe or Finn. Those two dipshit cowboys are basically responsible for 99% of the resistance deaths in this movie.

yeah and I loved that Johnson framed it this way to the audience, too. confounding the typical definition of heroism in the SW universe, where it's traditionally been ok for scores of young Rebel soldiers to die in 5 minutes as long as one of you delivers a badass knockout punch that results in a temporary setback for your opponent
― fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal), Saturday, 16 December 2017 21:14 (six years ago) link
really need to re-watch this.
stuff I've been thinking about:
if TFA was disney "unfucking" the SW universe post-prequel then i can see this movie as further "unfucking" the Force as a belief system/religion etc. No midiclorians, no science. a poor orphan can use the force etc.
I could see TLJ really succeeding in a complete TFA->TLJ->EP9 cycle. That is to say Disney knows they have this for the long haul and they may have set up TLJ where it HAS to exist in w/in the other two movies.
Also feel like TFA built up a large reservoir of goodwill for future SW movies/EU material and they used a LOT of it on this one in ways I can't quite articulate. It seemed really piecemeal. Too many ideas @ once.
Not sure if I liked it!

kinda bummed me out that maz kanata not only ignored the resistance's call for help (presumably; "no response") but she's a union-buster to boot
