Yeah, the movie does seem like it was spit out by a robot. It was about as sincere and heartfelt as a Hallmark commercial.
As opposed to the toys getting put in the attic and then sold in a garage sale 10 years later? If Andy had kept them long enough to give to his kids, I'm not sure how well that would go.
Did your dad give you all of his old toys? Would you have appreciated them the way he'd want you to?
I don't see the problem with the ending how it is. The question about their ultimate fate which is posed at the beginning of the movie remains no matter the ending. The point I think they're making is to appreciate what you have now because soon it will be gone; and that even if you know that the end for you will come someday, it's good to spend what time we have now with friends.
From English to a badly translated Chinese bootleg copy and then back to English, yes.
well, in chinese, the word "no" is bu yao. which literally means "not want" or "do not want". so it's not badly translated into chinese, it's just sloppily translated back into english.
I don't want him back either, but let's be honest. From a marketing standpoint, Darth Vader is the poster-man for Star Wars and because his face his behind a mask, he can be virtually any actor. Whereas Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher can no longer put their faces forward and say that they're Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa. And I don't think CGI'ing the actors faces, ala Tron Legacy, is the answer. Mainly because there's not enough CGI in the world to make poor Carrie look young and beautiful again. So yeah. Maybe not from a story-telling standpoint, but Vader DOES make perfect sense from a marketing standpoint.
EDIT: Coolsome, Luke was a bland weenie in the first movie too, or need I bring up "But I was going to Tosche Station to pick up some power convertors!"? The difference is everyone built up their own vision of what pre-suit Vader was like, and Lucas didn't match our visions. And Hayden's acting didn't help much.

He's not that bland if you mentally insert this scene somewhere at the beginning of the movie.
I just have no idea at what point they plan on picking this up again for 7,8,9. I mean seriously, all the main characters are too old now to reprise their roles. so what are they going to do, jump ahead a generation? Even if they did, Mark Hamill has said he would never be interested in doing another Star Wars.
Seriously, I don't read past the Hand of Thrawn duology. They killed Chewie. It doesn't deserve to be read.
Yes, yes it does. That was one of the very best and most dramatic moments in any Star Wars novel. He was given a hero's death like nobody else's, and everything that came of it made sense and was dramatically poignant. Yeah, they could totally have kept Chewie around doing random adventure bullshit that he'd done before, but one of the biggest problems with Star Wars EU material is the fucking stagnant nature of it all.

...why? People don't age in the Star Wars universe? What's wrong with it taking place 30 years later?
Carrie Fisher is how people age when they binge on alcohol and drugs. And Mark Hamill's only slightly better off, but that car wreck messed his face up. Harrison's in the best shape of the three.
Ok man, Sean Connery is not how normal people age. You'll learn that yourself in a few decades.
Also, the difference between the way you look at 27 and 56 (Carrie Fisher in RotJ and now) is a lot wider than between 59 and 79 (Sean Connery in those pics). Case in point: Sean Connery at 27 vs. Sean Connery at 56. Most people visibly age the most in their 40s and 50s.
My point is, Carrie Fisher looks the way Princess Leia probably would have looked 30 years later.

Because in Star Wars Princess Leia apparently went on an Ewok eating binge, and didn't stay away from the death sticks.

SpongeBob: Just like the robot in the movie. He couldn't cry either.
You and Dashing are both pretty knowledgeable about manipulating feels so you'd know.
All I can think of is this
Someday, I wanna be that guy. But only for a day. Then I want to go back to liking shitty things.
That guy is scum and he should know this. I don't care how much he's liked, I'll point out every flaw until your opinion of him is ruined.
So spot on it's ridiculous.

That doesn't sound tacked on to me.
We saw what his version of Star Wars would look like in Zack & Miri.
Joe Johnston, I'm tellin' ya guys!
"Be careful, he is a big."
"Mr. Speaker, we are for the big."
Wait, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO=Do not want?
Kinda like the "English as She is Spoke" of the twenty-first century. But that one was Portugese to French to English and was legitimately published.
Edit: HOLY SHIT! I suddenly figured out why I listed one of my favorite things in high school as "craunching marmosets"! It was that book all along!

Because of a rumor? A rumor from a British tabloid, no less?

Any other questions?
No.
This is how normal people age.

Looks like the whole village got eaten.
