The Casino in Episode VIII - Star Wars

Résultat de recherche d'images pour "Episode VIII - Star Wars"

The Casino in Episode VIII - Star Wars is already a popular topic of discussion. The movie itself is going to be released at the end of the year in 2017, and the year 2017 has only just begun. However, the enthusiastic Star Wars fans are already talking about how great the movie is going to be, or they're at least hoping that it is going to live up to the high standards of this new Star Wars trilogy. People were so disappointed by the prequel series of the 2000's that a lot of people are still worried that they're going to be disappointed again.

 

One of the hallmarks of the Star Wars prequel series is that is trades on the nostalgia that people had for the original series without really adding anything new. In fact, it managed to avoid even replicating what people really loved about the old trilogy. While some people argue that the movies of the newest trilogy may not be groundbreaking, they at least manage to capture the emotional depth of the original films. The casino scene that may help to liven up the newest Star Wars film at least suggests that these positive developments are going to continue.

 

The cantina sequence in the original New Hope move is one of the most popular in all of Star Wars. A lot of people have nostalgia for it in general. They also appreciate the tension in the scene. This seemingly simple scene created a lot of dramatic tension. The characters were in real danger. It helped to illustrate the chaotic nature of the Star Wars universe, particularly in that context.

 

The prequel trilogy is infamous for the fact that while there were exquisite special effects, people often didn't really care about what was happening to the characters. As interesting as the fight scenes were to look at, they didn't really signify anything. This was not the case for the famous cantina scene in a New Hope. The new casino scene in the next Star Wars film may manage to replicate some of the appeal of the original cantina scene in a New Hope. Some people are going to be excited to see the film just for that reason.

 

Fans only know so much about the new casino scene and about Star Wars: Episode VIII in general, of course. However, the small pieces of information that fans are getting at this point has every reason to make a lot of them excited about what might happen with some of their favorite characters.

 

It's hard to go wrong with a casino scene in general. Casino imagery tends to add excitement to most stories, even in the case of stories that were already really exciting. All casino scenes are going to have an element of chance that is going to draw people one way or another, even if they're just members of a movie audience.
