Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Official Thread)

[Inertia Creeps]

Welp. If you hated TLJ....you'll at least be happy in this regard

Actually action-packed instead of 2 hours of slow as molasses space chases, merchandise tie-in fluffy aliens, and pointless casino planet filler?? And it apparently disregards and shyts all over the nonsensical developments and narrative decisions of TLJ too??????? I thought I was out for sure, but if there's any direction JJ could have taken this to potentially reel me back in...

Shill review 101

A wonderful way to end the Skywalker story?except there are no Skywalker in this movie. Kylo is a Solo and Leia is an Organa.

From the sounds of things it shyts all over established canon just like TLJ.

It shyts on the Original Trilogy too

It's only been 4 years but it feels like force awakens came out 14 years ago

That’s what I meant.

If this did disregard most of TLJ, I wonder how most of the critics are going to feel?
Like it or not, TLJ still has a 91% on RT because most of the critics loved it
Going by the quick responses to this, it seems like JJ ignored most of TLJ

Clearly I am speaking from a place of ignorance as I haven’t seen the movie but what can he really ignore? We know Snoke is still dead hence the need for the reharsh of the emperor. Luke is still dead, could it be he is ignoring the hyperspace Kamikaze attacks as that is the only thing I can think of. After that shyt Rian left any director and writer would have an issue picking up from that.

 

[NobodyReally]

Why are people who hate the last 2-3 movies still shelling out money to support this crap? They've destroyed beloved characters, introduced less compelling, shallow ones, and created storylines that just don't make sense and/or have no cinematic value. It's fine if you are still enjoying it. Different strokes and all that, but for the rest of you, who haven't liked or agreed with the recent developments, I just don't understand why you're hate-watching and giving these people your money.

Rey is nobody
It doesn’t matter who her parents are
Kill the past
Rian made it a point to show that the past doesn’t matter in TLJ
JJ bringing back the Emperor is a direct shot to Rian’s vision

 

[THASTUNNA]

really hope the KOR actually do something in this movie. Just hope they don't go out like the Golden Company in GOT.

 

[HiiiPower]

I’m seeing a lot about the plot being a mess, damn; who ever saw Star Wars going out like this lol

 

[The ADD]

I’m seeing a lot about the plot being a mess, damn lol

Seemed inevitable with what TLJ was was. I can’t fault Abrams there but fukking Kathleen.......

The only hope they have/had was just throwing a bunch of cool shyt in there and letting it ride.

Spoiler: actual spoilers

Rey is Palpatine's long lost granddaughter. Kylo is redeemed and dies, and kisses Rey before he dies.

All the Skywalkers die without having defeated the Sith, the chosen one prophecy was apparently bullshyt. Another Palpatine kills Palpatine once and for all.

Literally the entire lives of Luke, Leia, Anakin, Obiwan, Ben were pointless

So the leaks that came out a few months ago were correct?
