What about Boba's arc though?

After seeing his father's demise :picard:

Maybe not a lot of dialogue, but there is a lot of character development between these two horrific events.

A Quiet Fett, a Star Wars Movie. :troll:

In the expanded universe I read that boba fett was able to come out of the monsters stomach and escape

I agree with all of this except...

no love for Luke though :ohhh:

I honestly believe not making this comeback series a Luke swag fest is where they dropped the ball. This is so easy, just have the Darkside/Empire run through everybody like the 18-0 Patriots running up the score.... only for Luke to make his comeback and shut that shyt down.... count money.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't dislike him but my main reason for caring about what he was doing was on some how will the son of Vader end up. I can't honestly say I'd care too much without that connection, other than that he'd probably be just another Jedi to me.

Yoda and Mace were on another level & seeing them fight in the prequels :feedme: . Obi had that failed mentor to Vader thing going. I just can't compare Luke to them. I like Sith stories better than Jedi stuff. All the backstabbing, power plays, killing the master, etc. Just more deep, complex stories with depth.

I hear you. They missed a big opportunity by not having Rey turn to the force and teaming up with Kylo that would have been way more interesting than what we got.

I gotta admit I didn't watch the entire movie but watching a lot & how Kylo was done kinda made me lose some respect by the end & I was actually liking him. I thought he was gonna be epic, then what happened, happened .

Woulda been cool to see Rey take out Kylo and become Snoke's apprentice.

Or just take out both of them and become leader of the First Order.

She is more of a formidable opponent or villain than Ren. She can fight.

The biggest mistake of the new trilogy is Kylo Ren.

He couldn't stop Chewy's blaster, yet Vader could stop Han's in ESB. (Interestingly, Ren stopped Poe's blaster from out of nowhere in the beginning of the movie though. :jbhmm: ).

He couldn't defeat Rey.in both movies.

He is dumber than General Hux.

He is emo.

Very weak villain.
The Resistance winning in Episode IX would be like Pusha T defeating Drake. :mjgrin:

Disney has $50 mill stuffed between the couch, this is nothing to them
The 50 mill isn't the problem. The problem is Disney's reputation with Star Wars that will cost them billions of dollars in potential revenue.

When it comes to Star Wars, Disney is fukking up in ALL departments that made it a global phenomenon.

Movies: 4 Movies in and not even breaking even on Solo. Dividing the fanbase and making people uninterested in Star Wars.

Merchandise: Toy sales have plummeted since TFA.

Video Games: Battlefront sold reasonably well but is dying in part to the loot box fiasco which Disney had to step in and try to set things straight because it was causing so much bad press. Add to the fact that Disney gave EA - The most hated video game developer of all time the exclusive rights to ALL future star wars games.

This is literally how you kill a hit franchise. Don't get me wrong, Star Wars will continue on for a long time but the way things are now it will never be MOVIE EVENT status like it used to be.

Once you've sown doubt into people's minds about your product its nearly impossible to get them back on board 100%.

And trust me they know this.

Better than Last Jedi, tho :yeshrug:

I thought it was aight, and was entertained, but Star Wars joints should be more than a passible sci-fi watch. Or, maybe we are realizing just how sensationaliezed the entire franchise is versus its actual quality. Marvel's weight in cinematic impact doesn't have the same history on its side, but it completely shyts all over the Star Wars existence.

I haven't watched either, but the bold is how I felt about the franchise after watching TFA and Rogue One.

I remember how people were gassing up what Vader did in Rogue One as this big bad ass ending, and sure it was cool... but a month ago someone described Ebony Maw as having "Jedi" powers in Infinity War.. and well shyt, if that's the case then Ebony Maw's badassery of "the force" >>>>> Vader's in Rogue One, and a lot of what i've seen in the other star wars movies.

There didnt need to be a Solo movie, as any movie with that character prior to the OG trilogy ruins the character. Han was supposed to come off as a mysterious smuggler who you really didnt know what to make of. Is he a good guy, is he a bad guy, is he a guy that just cares about his own ass, thats the beginning of his character arc in the original trilogy. You dont go and give him a backstory movie which im assuming has him coming off as clearly a decent guy. I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in seeing this movie.

They would never do that dont you see a trend here?

1. Rey is never beaten
2. She handles the strongest jedi ever with no training
3. Fights a sith with no training
4. Leia can fly through space while ackbar dies
5. Purple head girl shows her woman power by sacrificing herself
6. Rose ruins the plot by telling finn to kiss her at the most awkward time. After saving him

Its all about women. They are always the hero
