Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Official Thread)

Jesus Christ.

I've read fanfic better than this shyt.

I've seen lightsaber battles in fan films better than this shyt.

This shyt is all over the place.

I've haven't seen a film with worst pacing since Treasure Of The Four Crowns.

Yikes, yeah I'ma get my money back based off what ya'll saying.

Ok so I saw this last night and it's not horrible like TLJ, but JJ was definitely trying to pander to every fanboy at the same time. I'm very shocked how much Carrie Fisher was in this. I think she was in this movie more than the other two even.

Also, there wasn't much lightsaber battling, which is odd since Rey for some reason is all powerful with very little to no training.

Rian felt like talkin that shyt today

The Last Jedi assassinated the Luke character sure

But The Rise of Skywalker completely invalidated both of the previous trilogies

This was a pretty underwhelming movie and I'm happy to close the book on this chapter of Star Wars and hopefully Disney hires some creatives who want to do something original and fun with the property without all of the fanboy idol worship that the people (besides Gareth Edwards) they have picked all have brought to their work.

Just imagine how much better this could have been without Rian Johnson fukking up Luke Skywalker. I wanted to see him train Rey/Finn and then have them go weak havoc in this film. But, u can't blame JJ. His hand was forced.

BTW, they hand Lando still trying to holla at hoes on separate occasions :Russ:

I wonder if Finn asked for a potential black love interest. That's some shyt John boyega would do. Glad they didn't try to stick him with wack ass Rose.

Apples to oranges here. Comedy is by far the hardest genre to make a good sequel in since character arcs and plot are almost irrelevant to whether a comedy is good or not. Ask yourself how many good comedies have a good sequel or even a sequel at all. It’s a real short list.

My point really wasn’t about the quality or lack thereof of sequels. it was about the experience of disillusionment, I guess. Ghostbusters defined my childhood, the same way Star Wars defined the childhood of millions of other people.

I think the continued popularity of Star Wars--what keeps people coming back to it and revisiting it--is partly a way for people to recapture the magic and wonderment they felt as a child when they first saw the Battle of Hoth or the pod races or whatever. In effect, Star Wars is a time machine to the past, and the continuation of the franchise shows that there's still some spark of youth left, that their childhood hasn't completely disappeared in a bitterly cynical adulthood.

But there are three things to remember, three things that GB2 taught me: 1. There is no time machine. 2. There is no way to recapture what is lost. 3. Relying on a cultural product like Star Wars or Ghostbusters for an authentic emotional experience (which I think many people want) is ultimately a dead end. "Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to was never there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it."

I suppose that's what I was trying to say. I dunno how well it came off.

Given the amount of love the Mando is getting, Disney should seriously consider giving the keys to favreau.

The most truthful thing I've read in this thread. He's like a serial killer who targets IPs. First Star Trek, now Star Wars. Note that he was nearly given the reins to Superman, and his script looked terrible (although considering how awful every Superman movie has been since 1980, there's probably nowhere to go but up).

I'm not going there. The force awakens was good to me. It was an update of a new hope while establishing new characters. I got no problem with it.

If u wanna know why this franchise fell off the rails ask Rian Johnson. Even Mark Hamil essentially said TLJ was some bullshyt.

So does the stink of this trilogy tank Daisy Ridley’s career or is she gonna be able to rebound off this

What career?

Pretty much

This is exactly why TLJ destroyed any chance of this trilogy working out. fukk boy thinks he's smarter than he is.

One of the main selling points of this trilogy was getting to see full powered luke, and to really close this chapter of SW history so that fans could move on. Instead this hack had to subvert expectations, and pull that silly fukk the past, fukk the force, fukk the jedi, the force is for everyone BS.

The EU books did an amazing job of this, before anyone says SW has no potential.

I really hope the media don't get away with this narrative they're running with that RJ is a victim. He's worse than D&D in my book (at least there were some moments in season 8).

Edit: Messed up thing is that these fools are supposed to be the cream of the crop of Hollywood talent right now. They can't hold a candle to the OG greats in the movie industry.
