I think both complemented each other brilliantly, the fight was good and the music was good, combined they produced an iconic scene, John williams really knew his stuff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I think the best piece of music since Duel of the Fates was "The Spark" which had Luke walk out on to the field of Crait. If you skip ahead to about 2:15 I also like "Battle of the Herores" from Revenge of the Sith but that has shades of Duel of the Fates through it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 The music helped that massively, duel of the fates is one of the best scores ive ever heard in films Everything about it. The music, the choreography, the tension as they have to wait on the gates opening.The fighting once Qui-Gon is down is amazing. They are so tight and the speed they do it at is amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely find it baffling that the hype that Star Wars still manages to generate tbh, by all accounts the original trilogy was well received, maybe with it being before my time I'm not quite as emotionally invested but the two subsequent trilogys have been absolutely garbage, f**k knows how people are falling over themselves to make excuses for it. The last decent film was in 1983! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the whole fight, i know its choreographed that way but watching maul hold off obi wan and qui gon really grabs you into it, the lightsaber action is fantastic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem for Disney is that the same fanboys don't seem to like having Rey as the Marvel style superhero, so one last desperate trundle out for the old guard is all that's probably holding this episode up at the box office and stopping it from being an outright flop like the Han Solo film. The last nostalgia card they have left is Ewan McGregor as Obiwan but how do you turn his hermit years on Tatooine into something worth a big budget trilogy? JJ Abrams may have done to the Star Wars franchise what he did to Star Trek on motion pictures by going for regurgitated image over substance and leaving it with no obvious way ahead in terms of a narrative.

Cant argue with that, star wars as box office might be fucked now that chewie and lando is all thats left, Only thing they can do is maybe go back to proper jedi and sith times, KOTOR style, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with any of that. The Last Jedi developed the new characters, and gave them depth, and then in the third act it wasn't built upon. They should have had JJ do all three, or given IX to Rian Johnson. Disney too worried about box office receipts and fan boys in the end. Ewan McGregor is going to be Obi-Wan in a TV show in Disney Plus., I think six one hour episodes. I can see them making a Mandalorian film in the future too, once the a couple of seasons have aired. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
