Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

There is nothing on-screen to disprove this interpretation, so...yeah, go with it.

I swear someone at Disney needs to take control and just tell everyone to shut the fuck up. No more talking about Star Wars.

Rey's father is a failed clone? That is one lucky bastard because he looked pretty damn normal for a failed clone. Why even let a failed clone loose? Why not just kill him on the spot? Palpy's heart grew a micrometer or two that day and he let him go?

I liked the Force Awakens just fine, TLJ was an absolute abortion of a movie and I can juuuuust tolerate Rise of Skywalker because there is some cool shit in it, but the lack of a plan and coherent storytelling over the trilogy on the studio's partand all this shit that comes out after the fact just makes me shake my head

Figure it out, fuck

I've decided that TFA and TRoS are enjoyable but brainless fluff, that TLJ (despite its flaws) is the only good film in the ST, and that the ST itself is a failure.

On balance, the PT is a better trilogy, although the third episode of that one had to rush to wrap things up.

Big mood. I know someone who works at Bad Robot and between Disney and Kathleen Kennedy letting her boy Rian Johnson fuck up Ep 8, there was no chance in hell of a cohesive story. Too bad, cuz JJ Abrams had a lot of cool ideas and wanted to elaborate more on Finn's force sensitivity (or Hell, give him anything beyond "Rey! REEEEEY!" to do).

I'm find of Reylo sorta, but the good food we got in TLJ doesn't erase the butchering RJ did to Luke Skywalker's character and I don't see him as the hero the rest of that fandom does.

Honest trailer.

Got it on digital and watched it. My opinion hasn't really changed. It's fun and fast moving, but it's a complete mess as a conclusion to the saga.

Was sideous possessed by tenebre too. Somehow what happen at the end of the book too makes me think he as
Music was good. really liked it . One of the audio channels on my subwoofer died and I am going to have to rewatch it in 5.1 rhrough amazon prime.

Finally watched this (ordered the Blu-ray the other day).

Pretty much what Paladin said a few months ago:

Except it's sound bite.


For me TFA is the best of the ST, followed at a distance by this last film.

The more time that passes, the less I like TLJ (and I didn't like it a whole lot to begin with).

Weird. I actually knew that. Don't know why I typed bytes; might be a techno-Freudian slip. Of course, since audio today is digital, sound bytes wouldn't be altogether inaccurate.

I'm the opposite. TLJ is the only one of the ST I consider a good movie (i.e., as its own film and not just a Star Wars chapter), though I enjoy the others still.

I think this is harsh, but fair.

However, I will say, the sequel trilogy CGI was less in your face. I don't know if that is thanks to JJ Abrams deliberately choosing more practical effects and animatronics, or the fact that CGI has become better, but even the actors felt like they weren't acting opposite of a tennis ball.

I would say the prequels still were poorly directed (and poorly acted only by virtue of poor direction). But they were a much more cohesive plot by far.

You can still have a cohesive plot and suck balls. The prequel trilogy wrecked a number of characters' backstories and is a compelling case for why some characters are more interesting when there is mystery about their history (I'm a poet and don't even know it).

I agree with @Paladin: despite its flaws, TLJ was by far the most original of the sequel trilogies and at least tried to do something different.

I enjoyed TROS but it's clear that the Emperor story was pulled out of someone's ass at the eleventh hour. There is no evidence in the prior two films that this was the original intent of the sequel trilogy.
