Rise of Skywalker

[George Cumby]

What a gutless rehash.

Didn't help that Abrams had to pretend TLJ didn't happen.

Kids enjoyed it, so there's that.

May Kathleen Kennedy be sentence to a life term in the Spice Mines of Kessel.

Wanted to see it this weekend but had family Xmas. We will try to see it next weekend.

[George Cumby]

It has it's moments.

i found it just ok

nothing really special

the last jedi really took the wind out of the franchise sails IMO

JJ had to try and clean up the giant shit that TLJ took, and somehow tell his own story and wrap the whole franchise up

pretty tall order

It was ok & btw, I'm an avid SW fan & vintage collector.

Blame it on ruin Johnson & Kathleen Kennedy - TLJ is not worth re-watching.

BUT...the Mandalorian is the sh!t (yes, I've seen all 7 chapters) and I couldn't be a happier SW fan. Baby Yoda all the way!

[George Cumby]

Just rewatched Rogue One.

That is what all subsequent SW movies should have been.

Give the keys to Gareth Edwards and stay out of his way.

I ain’t seen the latest episode yet but two things baffle me:

1 - Prof Rands hates seeing Asians in Star Wars. He’s a racist, perhaps. I mean, thanks to Netflix and my fondness for the Wu Tang Clan, I now know that Star Wars is just a rip-off of old school, Mongoloid sword-fighting Kung fu films. I mean, Obi Wan Kenobi? That’s so Japanese.

2 - Zool claims to have seen every episode in theatre. The first one showed up in, what, 1960? How the hell is he a “hipster millennial” if he was alive in the 60’s? The first millennial was born on Jan 1, 1982.

She’ a terribly drawn character in a tedious, repetitive, unoriginal series - reminds me of you and your posting history.

I'm neither hipster nor millennial. First movie was May of 1977. I was 4, but still remember it.

Your first clue at asian themes is Kenobi? Not that Vader is clearly in a dark samurai outfit?

*Slow Clap*

I'm part asian. And I hated Rose. Yellow on yellow violence, I guess.

Kids rewatched TFA the other night. I can't even begin.......

I was 9 in '77. I read the book a dozen times on a family road trip to CO from WI. Blue Squadron, baby.

Fuck Gareth Edwards with a light saber.

Apparently, he's doing a near-future Sci fi movie now. Stay tuned.

[Zool]

Bad bad movie.

I liked the Last Jedi. Finally a breath of fresh air after Abrams aped another run of movies. It wasn't flawless, but at least it was new with some different ideas.

No one wants to root for a hereditary monarchy except perhaps the Brits. Making Rey an heir was a total noisy fanboy sellout. Was glad it made less than Last Jedi.

But the good news I can report is that younger folk I know well much preferred Solo and Rogue One to any of the last trilogy. And one of them who is old enough to have seen the prequels prefers both to those as well. So there is hope for more and better movies. As long as they give the franchise over to someone else.
