| MrGreenonion 12/19/17 1:28:36 AM #308: | I don't think The Last Jedi blew up Star Wars conventions as much as people seem to think. Like it's still MOSTLY built out of the same pieces. The focal point of the movie, the throne room stuff with Rey, Kylo, and Snoke, had elements of Vader & Luke in Empire, Vader & Luke in Jedi, but also Anakin & Obi-Wan in the PT. Like first they do the Vader/Luke/Emperor RotJ stuff, but then they have to fight off the Praetorian Guards and it becomes like Anakin & Obi-Wan where they're a team but then Kylo once and for all turns Dark Side, and then they do Vader/Luke from Empire where he tried to get Luke to join him. And there's other stuff like that throughout the movie, like when Benicio del Toro proves that not all scoundrels have hearts of gold, or how the Resistance's basic plot is essentially the Rebels' plot from Empire in reverse, where they get chased to the fortified base with trenches out front and try to fight off walkers in little speeders, instead of getting chased away from such a place. The whole movie is built out of classic Star Wars tropes but they're put together backwards and every pivotal moment goes the other way. --- SuperNiceDog didn't have to reconcile his name...
