What's the deal with female English leads in these SW movies?
|
|
|
|
|
Leads? Is that a different girl from the first one then? A lot of the original characters were english and the 'female lead' is just a sign of the times.
|
|

|

Yeah, it was Daisy Ridley in FA, and Felicity Jones in RO.
|
|
|
|
|
Didn't realise they were doing two separate stories.
Anyway to answer your question I just saw a rumour on the internet that the one in RO is Kylo Rens Mum - so that might explain why they have the same accent
|
|
|
|
|
Well Kylo's mom is Leia 
|
|
|
|
|
Oh yeah...that one...that reminds me, I still haven't seen it.

WHy can'T they just finish the next 2 parts after the latest that got released? Bloody idjits in my opinion to just start another story that is before some stories and is ("except for the deathstar") not really related to anything else?!

I'm with you on that.
But how else would they stretch this out to the Billions of Billions $$$$ that they want?

Because Rogue happens before Episode IV.
And because.
I'd rather be phishing!

I dunno - There might be some people out there who can actually cope with more than one story line at a time. I don't see the big deal. 
Personally, I like that I can get a new SW movie in the end of 2016 instead of having to wait for VIII until 2017.

it's not a problem to follow multiple lines but im talking about FOCUS, when you do 2 movies in the same universe squeezing out every bit of story you possibly could i imagine sw VIII to flop.

I wouldn't worry about that. It's two different stories, two different sets of characters and two different periods in time. I think they can come up with sufficient material for that.
What I WOULD worry about, though, is them using up their entire SFX arsenal in one movie. Now THAT's an actual possibility.
But nevertheless, It's with SW movies like sex: Even bad SW movies are better than no SW movies at all!

It's a prequel to the first one (Episode IV) in a trilogy of seven involving the same universe but from a different viewpoint and explaining some of the bits they glossed over in the original. (And boy did they gloss over things in the original!)
In that sense, it's like ST-DS9, ST-V, or ST-E compared with ST and ST-TNG. Same universe, different characters.
It's gotta be better than Force Awakens - which was ... um ... not that good, but a good starter for the next series. If they stop crossing it with Harry Potter!

Actually i might be lonely on that road but i kinda liked tfa, it was no star wars but it was a good movie. For a real star wars movie it should have been bigger, like big battles and big battles, did i already mention big battles?

I think the problem for me was that it spent too much time trying to "establish its credentials" as part of the Star Wars canon: "cram in the old familiar faces and everyone will know it's real" kinda thing. And what it missed out was the "soul" of Star Wars, the "feel" that made you want to watch it.
And there was a definite "Harry Potter" smell to the whole story!
