God damn. The finale was perfect.

Rewatching episode 8 in prep for watching 9 tonight. Wow. I just don't know how they screwed thongs up this bad. I can't tell if it's the writing the acting or what. Everything is just too much. And tries too hard. It's all exaggerated and comes off as almost a satire or parody of itself as a result.
I think the attempts at humor and cuteness are probably the most offensive thing to me, along with Adam Driver's portrayal of Kylo Ren. It amazes me that someone who can act so well in other roles is so bad in this. |

Also worth noting that it was too bad that the original cast of Luke/Han never got to go on one last mission together. I'm no SW expert obviously (just a casual fan) but talk about a missed oppurtunity |

It's pretty bad when you get upstaged by not one, but TWO cartoons (Rebels and Clone Wars)
And a show about a guy who shows his face once, a robot and a plastic alien baby (Mando) And a movie where you know everyone is going to die at the end (Rogue One) And a movie where you know everyone is going to live at the end (Solo). It's like the original trilogy being outclassed by DROIDS, The Ewok Adventure and The Holiday Special. |

oh my god man
Filoni should have directed the sequel trilogy somehow a cartoon had more emotional weight and a believable climax than a feature film HAUNTING |
Well. I just finished 9. It wasn't as bad as 8. I don't know, I think I've just gotten too old for the franchise. Stupid stuff bothers me like the imperial "speeders" on the desert planet looking like snowmobiles with tracks (why not just a hover speeder?) and the horse riding and bow shooting people. I know this series is really space opera fantasy not sci-fi, but things that should delight me just annoy me in it now.
I still liked this one, though. |

That sucked. What the hell happened. The scenes were given no time to breathe. Everything seems so sloppy post production. Just some real amateur stuff from Abrams here.

Just watched 9 for the first time since opening night. And as I figured at the time, it's a better rewatch. You spend less time thinking about how all of it makes such little sense in the context of the rest of the series and its lack of any real consistency/logic with Rian Johnson's vision in 8 and can just go along for the ride. I don't think any of the sequel trilogy movies are better than the OT or ROTS but they're all fine overall. It's just too bad they weren't planned out at all beforehand and don't fit together well. A lot of wasted potential there.
Also watched the last four episodes of Clone Wars. Hadn't seen it since Ahsoka walked out on the order, so I don't really know what I missed in the interim (maybe I'll watch it someday) but that was a pretty effective ending. |
