Nothing really iconic about the film. It's just a footnote in the Star Wars universe. This is all your opinion of course, so I respect it. But Star Wars is still very popular with the general audience and even new young fans who the franchise is consistently bringing in with media like the TV series and the video games, etc. To say that new characters like Din Djarin (the Mandalorian), Grogu (AKA Baby Yoda), Kal Kestis (from the Jedi Order video games), Rey, and others aren't capturing the hearts and minds of the fans who aren't you vastly displays a misunderstanding of other people and their enjoyment of Star Wars. Honestly, I think Daisy was really good as Rey. She deserved better material to work within. [I didn't ask for the Andor series, but I don't ask for anything in media. Why should I? If they male something and it is good for me when I experience is is all I care about. Who actually asks for something to get made other than the people pitching the project to the people who can produce it? I'm glad they pitched Andor, because it fucking rocks. Exactly. We don't ask for it. It's our choice to put in the time.    Posted:   Jun 8, 2023 - 11:08 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Honestly, I think Daisy was really good as Rey. She deserved better material to work within. Yes, she can act. But she needed an entire make-over. Different hair style, different outfit, different character. She just looked awful and stilted and had no material to work with.    Posted:   Jun 8, 2023 - 11:51 AM     By:   drop_forge   (Member) Honestly, I think Daisy was really good as Rey.

She's not supposed to be a Margot Robbie or Barbarella type, bruh.    Posted:   Jun 8, 2023 - 11:51 AM     By:   nuts_score   (Member) Honestly, I think Daisy was really good as Rey. She deserved better material to work within. So true. I get a little defensive in this conversation (as you saw in my interaction with Sol), but the reason being is that one of my closest friends has a daughter (she is now 15) who became a true blue Star Wars fan after seeing her first SW movie: The Force Awakens. She pretended to be Rey from the moment she left the theater. She dressed like Rey for two Halloweens in her life. That's her Luke Skywalker to the rest of us who grew up with the OT. That's a unique perspective to consider.    Posted:   Jun 8, 2023 - 12:06 PM     By:   drop_forge   (Member) Honestly, I think Daisy was really good as Rey.

That's a unique perspective to consider. That's uber-cool. We were all like that. I still remember opening TV Guide and seeing the ad ("...a stellar spectacular!") for the first telecast of Star Wars (ca. '79, as I was the only kid in my class who hadn't seen it) and losing my shit. But then they rereleased it theatrically and I finally caught it at the drive-in, too!    Posted:   Jun 8, 2023 - 3:53 PM     By:   nuts_score   (Member) Everyone is an impressionable young kid seeing their first Star Wars movie at some point. It's almost like an American tradition. Thankfully so when it comes to the coffers of LucasFilm and their corporate overlords at Disney. I'll never really comprehend the disappointment with Disney years with Star Wars because they are still making something of an appealing product to new generations (at least I assume from my experiences with family and friends) but I do really find myself upset that we'll never again have the daring LucasFilm of the 1980s that helped bring to life so many things between the likes of Paul Schrader's Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters and Haskell Wexler's Latino, to Jim Henson's Labyrinth and Ron Howard's Willow. They were such a unique American production company.    Posted:   Jun 8, 2023 - 4:05 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) Honestly, I think Daisy was really good as Rey.

LOL. But her look was just awful. I'd been satisfied if she looked like Nausicaa, who actually kinda looked like a female Luke Skywalker.    Posted:   Jun 8, 2023 - 5:17 PM     By:   nuts_score   (Member) There's already a bit of Nausicaä reference in Rey, I think they obviously designed her costume to be evocative of Luke's Tattoine attire. I quite liked her costuming in The Last Jedi, despite the movie being of the same lackluster quality to match at least ~67% of the rest of all the Star Wars movies.    Posted:   Jun 8, 2023 - 6:23 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) There's already a bit of Nausicaä reference in Rey, I think they obviously designed her costume to be evocative of Luke's Tattoine attire.

You’re right in the very beginning with the head wrap and goggles. That instantly reminded me of Nausicaa.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Batman, NAPOLEON, D-Day    << < 1 2 3  >   Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
