I'm obviously going to watch but I'm just not that excited for this one. It just feels like filler. I know han chewie lando are all gonna come out fine there are just no stakes. Rogue one had stakes cause everyone died.
You didn't know they weee going to die though. No one really thought Disney was going to go for that. This is just going to be a fun space heist adventure. Whats wrong with that?
Speaking to The Star Wars Show in a new interview today, Glover revealed his first reaction to learning that he’d be playing the young, eyebrow-raising incarnation of everyone’s favorite cape-wearing Baron Administrator: The day I found out I got [the part], I remember... I bought like, a whole pizza, and went home and watched Empire Strikes Back.
Man that scene in ROTJ was the worst Leia ever looked. Something about the lighting and the long straight hair made her look like a haggard old smoker.
watched TLJ yesterday and skipped through all scenes involving Rose except for Crait and most of the stuff on the cruisers during the chase. Basically, just the opening battle, everything on Achto, the throne room stuff, and everything from landing on Crait on. Don't know what the running time would be then, but that was a lean, incredible version of the movie and probably my preferred version of it. I like a lot of the design stuff in the casino, but don't miss anything from skipping that section. Cutting the Rose character hugely improves the movie for me, but also not being disappointed by Del Toro's choices with DJ helps, too.
Watched TLJ for a second time, I hate the Rose character so much. I like how she kamikazes into Finn's speeder at 200 mph......to save his life. Bitch you both could've died. Then she's like "we shouldn't sacrifice ourselves, love will save us" or some bullshit, as the giant laser Finn tried to destroy is firing and killing their friends. It's so contradictory, didn't that pink haired admiral sacrifice herself to save the Rebellion 30 minutes earlier? Or when they escape with those dog llama looking things, and she's says "this is the real victory" when they finally get away. As if the highly advanced society with spaceships isn't going to just go out and recapture them. She served no purpose in the movie whatsoever, and her character honestly pisses me off. I feel really disappointed by TLJ.
What a retard. How did he figure Owen could even be Anakin's biological brother/son of Shmi? He's older than Anakin!

I don't care anymore. I completey disagree, and think it's one of the best, but I'm not going to fight him on his opinion.
I won't begrudge people having opinions on liking the movie or not. Ultimately, movies are "art" and highly subjective to the viewer. As long as it's based in some sort of rational thought or even just not liking the direction they go with the story and not on blatant misrepresentation/misinterpretation of what's on screen, that's cool. That said... I don't disagree with you about their setup of Luke for this trilogy. I don't think JJ had an ultimate plan for how all this was going to end, he usually doesn't at the beginning of a story. Setting it up with Luke out of action was a strange choice. I do like the arc he follows in TLJ, though, so we disagree there. Luke's comment about Ben was in the context of being arrogant enough to train him given how powerful he was, contrasting Yoda's concerns and paralleling Obi Wan's decision to train Anakin in the PT. He obviously grew to fear that after training him and was using that as an excuse to fear training Rey. I don't know how you can interpret what happens in the movie as Rey not inspiring Luke to rejoin the fight. Yoda's sequence was fucking incredible and I'll fight you to the death over it. Luke's projection wasn't carrying the physical die from the Falcon on Crait. When Kylo picks them up at the end they fade away. They were part of the projection, initially for Luke to provide some comfort to Leia and then apparently he continues to fuel that projection for Kylo to find to remind him what he did to his father. We agree completely on Rose. She's the central character in the storyline that really brings down this movie for me. I'd recommend try watching it again and skipping all scenes involving her until Crait. It streamlines the movie and eliminates her annoying character.
I think the biggest indictment I can give TLJ for not being very good is it has killed my enthusiasm for the final film in the trilogy. After I watched TFA (even though it had it's flaws) I couldn't wait for the next entry .2 years seemed like an eternity to wait for my questions to be answered. Now that TLJ has came and went I find myself just not caring about any remaining questions I might have. I can't see this finale not feeling disjointed.
Last Shot Thoughts. Dont open if you are going to read it and havent yet Spoiler It was just alright. Sets expectations for Han and Lando. Very different from who we know. Especially Han. He's kind of a chump w the ladies, either complaining about getting dumped, or trying to hard to get some. - They really are pushing how terrible/apprehensive a father Han was to ben. - Lando is this book is kind of lame. He's like a hypersexualized version of the smooth Lando we know. Like everything is a clunky innuendo. I get they're trying to show growth in both those guys, Han being a needy puppy to a scoundrel and Lando transforming from Stiffler to Billy D. Now that I think of it. Some of the same low esteem with the ladies manifests in being a father/husband. I guess that's good groundwork. - Involving Sana Starros was a cool tie-in to the comics - I thought for a second they were going to kill off Lando in the book. Only reason I didnt really worry too much is I dont think they'd chose this book to do it. Or even in a book at all - How the fuck is an Ewok gonna be a splicer just 3 years after endor. Go from primitive lifestyle to a splicer? pfft 6.5/10 Not upset I read it, but not a must read. Lower end of the book rankings list if I made one. It's short/quick at least.
Probably just cross promotion but I would love to see Feige take over Star Wars. It needs someone with a vision.
They love Kathleen Kennedy. Iger praises her all the time. She's not a "creative" exec, she's a business-minded leader. Feige is a mastermind, though. I think he's top-three exec-producer, maybe top-one in terms of vision and risk/reward ratio.
Don't want Star Wars to be like Marvel at all. I don't want Star Wars fatigue like I have with Marvel. The last Marvel movie I saw was Guardians of the Galaxy, dont really care about the other movies.
