5 rating. Long text warning, allow me to take it slow: 1. The shape and spirit of the Star Wars movies First of all, the Star Wars movies have two clear main lines: War Lines: shown in the movie are 1-3 prequels: Trade Alliance, Separatist forces VS Republican Army (of course, it is actually a double reed by Pa Huangyan, but it is indeed a battle between the two sides) Part 4-6 True Story: The Resistance Army VS Imperial Army Part 7-9 Aftermath: Resistance Organization VS First Order This is The main line shows us various types of ships, warships, military operations, and more. Family Line: Shown in the movie are 1-3 prequels respectively: Anakin and the two most important women in his life (mom and wife) 4-6 main stories: Luke, Orthopaedic (Mist) and him Papa 7-9: Rey and Grandpa, Kylo Ren and Papa This mainline shows us Jedi, Sith, Force, lightsaber fights and more. Of course, in addition to these two main courses, the charm of Star Wars is that it has a panoramic universe. Planets with different landforms, rich species, all kinds of lively and interesting characters, as well as the beloved Star Wars "Three Treasures" R2D2, C3PO, BB-8, etc., these are the unique charms of Star Wars. And the aftermath of the restart is complete in these formal elements. So why do people still say this is not a Star Wars movie? The reason lies in the "god" possessed by form and spirit. When it comes to the temperament of this series of films, each trilogy is actually different, which is also an important reason why the prequel of George Lucas was scolded. If the true story is a family ethics drama in a sci-fi coat and a western adventure film with an interstellar background, then the prequel is more like an ancient Greek tragedy leading to fate. As for the sequel...emmmm the sequel doesn't seem to have much temperament, and this pot is not JJ Abrams, nor Ryan Johnson's, the real hammer is Disney. 2. Das Mickey's "Original Sin" and "Redemption" Now, let's put aside our feelings for Star Wars. Disney's mind is actually very easy to understand. It is a capital existence. Taking over Star Wars is to take advantage of its huge fans. There are only two ways to make money on the basis of movies, the spin-off on the derivative and the sequel on the main line (after all, the prequel was filmed), and Disney wanted the story of the sequel to continue, so it moved. The idea of starting a new stove, so the "original sin" came. Disney's attempt to end the narrative of the Skywalker family and start a new era of Star Wars movies through three episodic films is fundamentally in conflict with the latent expectations of old fans walking into theaters, while Disney eats the hope in the bowl. In the pot, he not only wants to squeeze the residual value of the Star Wars fans accumulated over the years, but also wants to use the influence of this big IP to cultivate a new generation of fans. Silk keeps making money. Of course, we can also say that Dasmic has lofty ambitions, but this goal is indeed very, very difficult, at least no series in film history has achieved it. So in 2015, we saw this reboot of The Force Awakens. This is a movie that comes with a Disney mission. What it wants to do is to send away old people, introduce new people, and open up new space for future Star Wars stories on the premise of appeasing existing fans. JJ accomplished this mission brilliantly, and the excitement of reuniting with his long-lost old friend and the rekindled Star Wars feelings overshadowed its mediocre and conservative flaws. This is not a movie that is enough to attract new fans, and it does not open up the temperament that the series should have for the sequel. This is especially evident in the Chinese market where there is not much Star Wars foundation. I still remember that when Star Wars 7 was released, it was freezing cold in Beijing. I took my little friend on the slippery ice and headed towards the cinema. Along the way, I was excited about the plots of the first six films. Tells a story similar to that of New Hope. Do you think passers-by who haven't seen Star Wars will find it new? Asi, his son was ambitious and wanted to do something big, and stabbed Father Love and Peace to death; the evil empire has a super powerful weapon that destroys the sky and destroys the galaxy, and it was blown up by the Justice Division before the charging was completed. Guangguang...word God, this is an old story from the 1970s! You should know that the most recent Star Wars movie "Revenge of the Sith" was released in 2005. During this period, 2001-2011 was the decade of Harry Potter, and the release of "Iron Man" in 2008 marked the decade of the initial layout of the Marvel universe. Under the baptism of the magical world and the superhero universe, Star Wars can no longer be attracted by the buzzing of the spaceship biubiubiu and the lightsaber. The mediocrity and old-fashionedness of this story directly contributed to the domestic box office shrinkage of Star Wars 7 to 8 by 5. 5.8 billion yuan, and behind this figure it is precisely the potential fans that Disney is most likely to win over. Of course, another important driver of Star Wars 8's global box office shrinkage is the outrage and bad reviews of old fans. This is very regrettable, because in all fairness, Star Wars 8's artistic attainments are unparalleled, with ingenious sound and picture design, classical composition, climax narrative rhythm, and control of laughs and cute points. Fans' anger about the character design and confusion about the Force are not obstacles for passers-by to watch the movie. In fact, this is a very friendly Star Wars movie for passers-by, and the old fans' rave reviews inadvertently put these Everyone blocked the door. Star Wars 8 also further reflects the will of Das Mickey. The new Star Wars in Disney's hands wants to decouple from the stories and characters of the first six films, and wants to liberate the Force from the bloodline theory of the old Star Wars, so there is Rey His parents are nobody, and this creative intention is particularly evident in the casino and the end of The Force Kid, which makes Star Wars 8 the most temperamental film in the sequel series. Yes, this temperament is an anti-traditional temperament, even a "politically correct" temperament, so what, our era is like this, why can't the restarted Star Wars movies be made like this in this new era? Well, no, because this will hurt the feelings of old fans, so there is this Star Wars 9 under Disney's "redemption". JJ is right, Star Wars 9 did not slap the face of Star Wars 8. If you think back a little, you will find that the controversial use of the Force in Star Wars 8 has not been weakened, but has been greatly strengthened in 9. . 9 just made some compromises, such as adding more feelings, Lapa Huang and Rimbaud came back to save the field. How does this work? emmm, the effect is indescribable... This kind of adjustment will of course restore the goodwill of some fans who feel that 8 sucks like shit, but it is not completely restored; it also makes some fans who have accepted Rey's identity as an ordinary person feel inexplicable. More importantly, the integration of too many emotional elements makes the new generation of characters who lack room for growth even more flat, and further alienates the empathy of the audience. At this point, Disney's "original sin" and "redemption" have become swaying and embarrassing. Lord Mickey, who has lost his way, has demonstrated to us what it means to be unflattering inside and out. 3. Looking back on Tatooine, I have never done anything wrong in Star Wars 9. Let me tell you something I personally experienced. When the Harry Potter movie was released, I was one of the people who rated it the lowest (except for the Philosopher's Stone) , Because compared to the novel, the filming is really bad. And when I rewatched these movies more than ten years later, I unexpectedly felt that they were quite good. More importantly, many people fell in love with HP through movies over the years. The way to gather fans. We should not forget that the original Star Wars prequel was scolded by fans of the original, and then how many people passed on to Star Wars from the former. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the three sequels are all dog tails, is it that Gao E continued "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "A Dream of Red Mansions" is not a classic? What's more, even if it is to sell feelings, Star Wars 9 is also attentive. As the final chapter of the entire Skywalker saga, it gives a decent curtain call to those old characters we've loved: Han Solo's I Know, the way Leia Jedi disappeared, and the husband and wife's persistence and protection of the love in their hearts are not responding to Luke's belief in the goodness and light in his father's heart back then? Luke calmly used the Force to fish out the X-wing, and accomplished what he hadn't done in Dagobah. He caught the lightsaber that Rey had lost and gave her the power to face the darkness. Tears came to my eyes as Rey flew the X-Wing towards the Sith Temple in Luke's helmet. And Rimbaud took a large group of spaceships to join the final battle. Ah, it’s really vulgar. The plot twist is a blunt one. But when John Williams’ Star Wars theme song rang out, I still feel blood rushing up. , a satisfied. To tell you the truth, I am a Harry Potter fan. Compared to my fascination with HP, I don’t call myself a Star Wars fan. The old star fan for more than ten or twenty years, after watching it, it is just a sentence that Disney destroyed Star Wars. 4. The balance of the Force is a topic that may be more controversial. After all, the balance of the Force is the core concept of the entire Star Wars movie, and I think Star Wars 9 interprets this concept better than the first six. This is also the most important reason why I think the ending of Ball 9 is excellent at the beginning, and it is also the most dissatisfied part of many fans. I think that in this way, Anakin's death and Luke's efforts are all in vain, but I don't think so of. Let's first look at how the old Star Wars explained the balance of the force. In the prequels, Anakin, who was identified by Qui-Gon Jin as the Chosen Son who brought the Force back into balance, turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader. Is this the force balance? Apparently not. Let's look at the original story again. Inspired by his unerased kindness and father-son kinship, the Black Warrior sacrificed himself and killed Pa Huang. Is this the force balance? It seems that the emperor is dead, and the black warrior is also dead. Isn't this balanced? Well, let’s put this question aside first, let’s take a look at the descriptions of the Force in the entire nine-part series of Star Wars: “The so-called super energy refers to a kind of microorganism living in living cells, We have a symbiotic relationship with it, and without the superpower, life would not exist, and we would not be able to perceive the Force." - Qui-Gon Jin, "The Phantom Menace" "I have the Force to be my companion, a powerful Companion. Life nurtures it, it grows, its energy surrounds us, connects us. You have to feel the Force around you, here, between you and me, trees, rocks, everywhere." - Yoda, "The Empire Strikes Back" "The Force is not a power you have, it is an energy, a tension, a balance between all things that binds everything in the universe together." - Luke The Last Jedi Well, now can we come to a consensus that the Force, it's something created by life and something that can be sensed by life, it's everywhere, and it connects everything in the universe. In fact, Chinese people have an innate advantage to understand such a concept. Isn't this the so-called "Tao" or "Qi", and the light and dark sides of the Force are like the balance of Yin and Yang in Tai Chi. If this is correct, then when training Rey, Luke said that the Force does not belong to the Jedi, and that there is no light without the Jedi. There is nothing wrong with this statement itself, and balance means that the stronger the light, the stronger the darkness. , there is no problem with this. Therefore, the Jedi were wiped out by Secret Order No. 66 and the blackening of Anakin in the heyday, just like the Great Depression after the Coolidge boom. In fact, they are all approaching a state of equilibrium. As the so-called peak, there must be a trough. . And at the end of "Return of the Jedi", the old six left us with the interpretation of the balance of the force is to destroy the Sith. Under this understanding, the death of PPT certainly means that Anakin and Luke Bai are busy, but why does the elimination of the Sith mean the balance of the force? Some people may remember that in "The Phantom Menace", Qui-Gon Jin reported that he found a suspected Sith warrior, and the Jedi elder Kiadi immediately said that it was impossible, and the Sith had been extinct for thousands of years. From this, can we infer that such reincarnation has already happened more than once. Destroying the Sith means that only the Jedi are left, so the question comes back, why does the Jedi represent the balance of the force? Shouldn't the balance be the same for both sides? Of course, from the perspective of Lucas at the time, such an explanation is not unacceptable. After all, the Jedi emphasizes restraint and passiveness. Besides, a wise existence like Master Yoda said that the force is balanced in him. Yes, there is nothing wrong with the feeling, but after all, this is not quite a theory of balance in the general sense. Then let's take a look at Star Wars 9. The damned and the damned are all dead, and only Sister Aotian is left. She buried deep in Tatooine and raised her own yellow lightsaber. (Add here, Yellow: Jedi Sentinel Jedi Sentinel's common color symbolizes its loyalty to the creed. ) At this point, "The Rise of Skywalker" provides us with an unprecedented explanation of the balance of the Force, that is - the blood of the Sith, the faith of the Jedi. I don't know what you guys think. Some people may think it's ridiculous, but I really think it's amazing. Anakin and Luke's efforts were not in vain, but Rey surpassed them. It does not contradict the setting of Anakin's Chosen One. It is the legend of the two generations of Skywalkers, Anakin and Luke, that Rey always believes that she can also recall the original like Luke recalled his father. Solo (see Star Wars 8 for the relevant plot), and in fact, she did too, and then it was the transformation of Kylo Ren to Ben Solo that made the ending happen. I believe that if the length of the movie is longer and the space for the new characters to show their hearts is larger, this line of inheritance will be seen and felt by more people. So when Rey said her surname was Skywalker at the end of Star Wars 9, I felt pretty happy. 42 years, the legend of three generations, once it ends, it is enough to be successful. 5. There is too much complaining to prevent the bowels from breaking, and the scenery should be long-term. I will not vomit about the slots of Star Wars 9. After all, everyone has said too much, and there are also many "pits" in the postquel as a whole. I don't know if there will be any future There is no preparation for filling in, such as when did Pahuang have a son? I said it was puzzling. If there is a real "Star Wars Story: PPT Love Story", haha, it's exciting; and how did Luke's lightsaber get to Maze; and the story of Rey's childhood, I feel very interesting. . Yes, as long as someone shoots, I will watch, whether he is Das Mickey or not. As for why I wrote such a long film review, some of the words are really unpleasant. There are so many bad reviews all over the Internet that I can't get anyone to watch it. Friend, let's keep breathing calm, anger, hatred, that's the dark side of the Force. As the old saying goes, running water does not rot, and household pivots do not stink. If Star Wars wants to live in the present, development is the last word, and innovation is the soul of progress. The love of old fans can only make Star Wars live in history. Only when new people like it constantly will this series live a long life. Bless it! Finally, I conclude this long article with two passages from Rey and Yoda in Star Wars 8, "The galaxy needs legends," and we need legends; "pass on what you've learned, strength, Skills, but also weaknesses, folly, and experienced failures. Yes, the most important thing is failure, and failure is the best mentor." I hope Disney can use these three sequels as a teacher, summarize and plan well, Bring us a more exciting Star Wars legend, "We should be surpassed by them, this is the real responsibility of all teachers."
