Yes, it was Wrath of Khan ( which in itself is a stone cold classic ) done with a parallel universe ( Mandela effect? ) spin. I keep meaning to see that. Which do you think are the best Trek movies, other than that? I’ve also never seen the Patrick Stewart series or any ST series other than the original (Shatner, Nimoy, et al.)–but I have seen Galaxy Quest!

Wrath of Khan (1982) is the best by far, although personally I have a soft spot for The Motion Picture (1979)

Bruce Willis should have had Tim Allen's role in GALAXY QUEST.

You can see why they wanted Max Von Sydow in it. They thought: we need an actor who appeared in blockbuster films and 1960s epics.
Who is left alive?
Max Von Sydow!
Right! And he did a film with Alec Guinness too! The Quiller Memorandum

Julie Christie and Sophie Loren might have been called if MVS was dead.
If Peter O'Toole was alive, he would have been called first--guaranteed.

Wait a sec, Rey is just giving the lightsaber to Luke now, but “the First Order reigns”? Have they begun their reign within thirty seconds of the last movie? Because, even if they seemed unduly powerful in the last one, nothing (as far as I could tell) seemed to indicate they had complete control over the galaxy. Huh? And Luke has just thrown away the lightsaber. Who the hell wrote this, Mel Brooks?This comment triggered me more than it probably should have. As always great commentary! I've enjoyed it and can't wait for Rogue One commentary!

If Mel Brooks wrote the script it would have been vastly superior.

Oh, I just meant it came off that Johnson et al. were spoofing Star Wars. I like Brooks too.

You can fuck off with that shit. When did you become such a troll? You were a quality poster on the old IMDb. Now you're kind of an a hole. What gives? When you losers decided to ruin what should be the three most popular boards on the site. I can't discuss things I want to on these three boards because you turds hijack everything.

I think you’ll appreciate Rogue 1 and Solo much more. As I’ve said before, in spite of its issues, Solo really reads similarly to Kirk and ST ‘09.
Also! Star Trek ‘09 is Canon- R2 appears in the opening space battle with Thor. 😃

I do agree that the first act was bad. Mainly driven by placing Luke completely outside character. I felt that in mainly the third act, that Luke was absolutely back where he always should have been. I know he needed something to overcome for the story, but what he did was not what needed done. I also don’t think the casino storyline was up to Star Wars standards, and dragged the story. Kylo is a character that can maintain his darkness through true rage or via being the petulant poseur that Snoke chastised. His manufactured hate for his father and Luke generated by “Schnoke’s scheduction” (as Leia put it) manifests the horseface villain. But when he had real rage realizing that it was indeed true that Snoke was using him, the stronger character emerges. We know now about Rey’s parents, nobodies, but we still don’t know about her “family” she wanted to get back to, those that have been with her during the majority of her life on Jakku. My theoretical twist is that one of those influences was Lor San Tekka, who filled her head with the “Myths” of Skywalkers and the Force. And maybe even Constable Zuvio, who was cut from TFA altogether, although he had enough role to have had a figure made early on. We will see, but it sure would be a source of conflict if San Tekka was the family Rey had and she finds out from Poe about his fate. Not my favorite one either, but plenty for me to keep the story going IMHO, and I think we still have the potential for a great ending. I’ll personally have to see the trilogy before I cast final judgememt, but I do understand the criticisms of the film. I know it’s just me, but one of the reasons I can’t get on-board with the modern shared-universe trend is that I judge every movie individually, even if it’s part of a series. I think I get bored of series and shared-universes pretty quickly and want to keep moving on to new stories. When series do hold my interest, then, I appreciate them even more. What I mean is that I understand your point about seeing the entire trilogy before casting judgment, which is a wise idea and one I should probably do as well! I just can’t do it, for better or worse. An interesting point about Kylo and how the characterization works on two levels. You may well be right, as I felt this characterization, for most of the movie, was superior to the last one. Lor San Tekka is Max von Sydow? That’s a great idea, especially as Max got nothing to do in TFA. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind writing for these characters. I think there’s material here waiting to be mined. But I think Mr. Johnson scrapped both their characterizations and any aspect of the originals in favor of his own attempts at cleverness. Yes, Sydow was Tekka, a character with quite a background that "happened upon" a map to the first Jedi temple that was taken from the empires archives. He just so happened upon it in the middle of the ruins of the empire's last stand. Ruins that I'm sure caused Jakku to boom for years, then bust as the last of the empire's bones were picked by the last of the scavengers. Will all that be unaddressed fodder at the end of episode ix? Possibly. I personally believe all that opportunity would be a shame to me if it was. But I look ahead with hope that JJ isn't completely stupid and ignores all the pieces that appear to be in place to up the stakes between the two new main characters in this tale. We will see!
