I enjoyed it.

:manny:

They didn't make Poe and Finn into doofs. Had some alright action scenes. I wished they actually got busy more light saber skill wise.

The main issue with the whole movie was cleaning up the bullshyt written in the last Jedi. Pretending like Rey and Ren were in love/destined to be together off some force dreams, Palpatine coming back because he killed Snoke like he was a stormtrooper, them being able to force transport objects, and Leia being a force master. They cleaned up the Leia part well and Palpatine was pretty good, but they fukked up the Rey and Ren part. That was just goofy.

Was I the only one that liked that Fin, Poe and Chewie scene when they were going COD on the stormtroopers on the ship?:hubie:I also liked that it's been retconned and Fin is now Force sensitive again:ehh:

The movie was peak JJ Abrams, for better or worse. Heavy on nostalgia that tows the line between genuinely sincere and shameless pandering. Fast paced plot that distracts your brain from a lot of things that don't really make sense if you spend too much time thinking about it. Quippy dialogue and a whole lot of McGuffins.

Having thought about it I think it's a solid, entertaining film on its own but a bad Star Wars film. The irony is it spends so much time trying to "correct" the Last Jedi while also setting up elements that are just as damaging if not moreso to the Star Wars lore than anything Rian Johnson came up with.

I'm sorry but I can't get over him bringing Palpatine back. It cheapens Vader's sacrifice and him fulfilling the prophecy as the chosen one. I may have been able to accept it more if there had been ample setup throughout the new trilogy or if JJ and Terrio had thought of a better explanation but they simply throw it at us and asked the audience not to question it too much. It was way too lazy of an approach to such a huge plot point that had major ramifications for the entire saga.

Also, it's abundantly clear now that this is how it went down.

The Force Awakens: This is my movie!
The Last Jedi: Fukk your movie JJ!
The Rise of Skywalker: Oh yeah? Well fukk your movie Rian!

And that's ultimately why the Disney trilogy failed imo. Two directors with different visions who couldn't put their egos aside and make something cohesive. One director should've made all three films

I'm :deadmanny: @ the thought of big time directors making diss movies to each other like they in the rap game, but the theory makes sense.

As soon as JJ heard about Rian having Leia survive out in the open space he should've bushed him like they did the director of rogue one and solo. Both of those are good movies for the most part.

Boyega is a garbage actor until I see other wise that redeems himself.

The Rey character was too young to be relevant. Even Luke was like in his 20s.

So much rushed through here and unexplained plot lines. And we needed this to push the limit on rated R films like the first three.
