For those rare few who love everything Star Wars, but don't watch Rick&Morty
EDIT: Also, later in the week, this week's episode of What We Do in the Shadows. Last edited by Baby Lee; 05-16-2020 at 07:51 PM.. |

Jesus Christ...
Did anybody see Dave Filoni talking about Duel and the Fates and the actual meaning behind it? Dude just made the prequels that much better ad never shot a scene |

So I finally saw Rise of Skywalker. This won't be a popular opinion, but I didn't hate it as much as I expected to. It wasn't great, but it wasn't a disaster, either. Unlike any of the prequels, I could see myself actually watching it again someday. If there's nothing else going on.
The main problem for me - outside of Rey being about as boring a protagonist as possible, as was well established in the previous two movies - was that they tried to cram two movies worth of shit into 2:20. And I still don't think JJ can put together a complete, coherent movie. He's like the Stephen King of filmmakers. Although maybe that's being unfair to his Mission Impossible work. |

VIII was such a ****ing disaster that IX was good by comparison. When I walked out of the theater I liked it.
But the more you think about it, the worse it gets. I have no desire to ever watch it again. Which is pretty much the way I feel about all the numbered films outside of the originals. Rogue One was great. Solo was entertaining and fun. Those are the ones I'll happily rewatch from time to time. |

If the sequel trilogy had actually been good, they'd have probably crossed the 3 billion mark at some point. The thing that disappoints me most I think was that they were just...mediocre. Like if they didn't exist it would in no way have any impact on the saga.

It also invalidates the notion that these movies have been the "Skywalker Saga" when in the end, it was all about Sheev Palpatine and his offspring. Anakin, Luke, Leia and Padme were all reduced to bit players. |

It won't be the "official" ST, but I'm sure it will suffice for many. |
