I'm pretty sure the teaser trailer for TLJ gave me a hard-on. I couldn't have been more hyped for a movie than I was for that one.

Then....well y'know.

I don't think there's any kind of trailer that could be released that would convince me to go see this in theaters. I'm just out.

Wait, is this one a joke?

I'll end up seeing it because my 8 year old daughter loves these movies. It's how she got into Star Wars.

No, no it is not. And I've explained why in several previous posts.

I guess they want to be sure I don't see this on in the theater.

This whole damn Trilogy has been a joke of the lowest order. I know we have one more movie to see, but I am leaning towards voting the entire thing worse than the prequel trilogy.

The fact that they're going to redeem Ren back to a Skywalker is reason enough to **** this thing off. And you're right; this trilogy IS worse than the prequels. The prequels were a poorly executed story. This Disney shit doesn't even know how to WRITE a ****ing story.

Colossal waste of time.

LOL at the haters. You've watched 8 movies, and now you're out on the last one? You're not going to see how this saga that has spanned you lifetime ends? Ha, whatever.

I'm definitely going to see this one and I'm pretty confident I'll be entertained.

Saw the teaser.

Eh, whatever. They will probably kill Lando off. I don't care about Rey. Finn has been ruined. So has Poe. Ren is a complete wuss.

It's time to boycott this trash.

That's the thing though - that particular saga ended in VIII.

This isn't gonna do anything more than that other than try to play up some fan servicy shit in the name of trying to ungrump some folks and hope to get them back on board for X and beyond.

My biggest problem with VIII was always that the story was missing a middle. VIII is never a movie I would've really liked for a myriad of reasons I've already explained, but it's a movie I'd have understood had it been IX.

I don't need to see 'how it ends' because the parts I care about already ended. The characters I gave a damn about are either dead or in the margins. Trying to retcon this thing into pretending that VIII didn't already effectively end the Skywalker Saga is just gonna make it the entire trilogy that mass of disorganized shit that SDH expects.

They're welcome to untie and retie loose ends as they see fit, but that does nothing but make this a rental. I'll watch it at some point, but like I said - I see no need to brave the crowds for this and can't see any way a trailer of any caliber will change my mind.

Pffft. Enjoy your idiotic entertainment, queerass.

What? You don't want to watch Lando Calrissian be further emasculated by Disney?

Lando Calrissian, 1980's: Galactic Pimp

Lando Calrissian, Disney: Metrosexual Robot-****er.

Have you guys seen this one with the alternate ending????

Fitting.

If Skywalker, Lando, Chewbacca and Palpatine are in this ...then I'm in.

If not...forget it. Characters are garbage, story writing is even worse. Solo and especially TLJ were awful movies.

You'll get Lando, Chewie, and a force ghost Luke.


Also, the involvement of OT characters will be minimal as usual. Save your money or at least read the script/plot summary before wasting your time with this garbage.

what's up with the hair dryer unicycle?

Seriously, **** these clowns and how they've shit all over Star Wars. Like Plinkett observed, the last movie was such a complete abortion that it actually made I-III look good by comparison. If all they care about is catering to betas and feminists, then I sincerely hope those are the only people who go. Plus I'll never knowingly put another dime in the pocket of Queen **** Kennedy.

When Disney bought Darth Lucas out I was thrilled. I thought they'd turn things around. Much like the peasants of western Russia who thought the Germans would be their liberators. :shake:

Disney is capable of making good Star Wars. Rogue One was excellent and Solo was good.

I’ll do what I did when the Chiefs traded for Alex: I’ll hold onto false hope thanks to an emotional attachment to the franchise/team even though I know I’ll be disappointed in the end.

Maybe they can make 9 like the trade for Mahomes.

The new cast flat out just sucks . I don't give a shit about any of them . Disney ****ed themselves over by killing off Luke and Han . God damn it would have been cool to see them team up with Lando to do one last mission but no.

This just looks lame tbh . Jar Jar Abrams is a hack director.

This is the truth. The new characters inspire absolutely nothing. They are poorly developed schlock riding the coattails of the dying original cast.

VII and VIII were badass. This looks like great so far. Won't bother trying to talk most of you out of your insane hatred for the best Star Wars movies since Empire, but I'm really excited.

Except for Yoda.

Looks badass. Hyped. Wreckage of the second Death Star? In!!!!!

well, that did nothing for me at all. Guess its up to the full trailer to convince me its worth paying money for.

Aren't you that reerun that roots for Tampon Bay?

Like hell. This movie is Matt CasselSmith and I'm on the Hate Train all the way to the box office flop.

What planet are they on anwyay? Everything looks like Tatooine but there was no death star there.

Last shot.

Endor?

The shot with her hugging Leia could be Endor but the final shot looks nothing like Endor to me. Yavin IV maybe?

I would not be surprised if Disney did a spin off of the Jar Jar Binks character.

Palpatine back from the dead? Does anyone just stay dead anymore?

Yoda is the worst part of the original three Star Wars.

Yeah. Bring back Jar Jar Binks... Sith Lord!

The wya they killed snoke -even if he comes back- told me all I needed to know about this shitty franchise

It has to be Endor. A different part of the planet. There are different environments per the Ewok adventure movie.

Maybe Rey creates a new Jedi Order but instead of Jedi she calls them Skywalkers instead to pay homage and turn over a new leaf for the order.

:cuss::cuss::cuss: Staph

Savage

Ford has been trying to kill Solo off since ep 5. He'd never have done another movie. He finally got the ending he wanted for his character.

I figure Luke will show up as a force ghost in this one, complete Rey's training, for what that's worth.

Watched Solo again tonight with the fam, who had not seen it.

They all loved it.

Still tickled by it. Lawrence Kasdan is such a BAMF.

I didn't think there was any way a trailer would get me at all excited for episode 9.

I was wrong.

And there it is.

Death Star Two has the Emperor in it. Take his left over parts. Cloned.

JFC

Dueling force ghosts

They won’t do anything nearly that hamfisted.

Besides palps was vaporized.

...

Solo was great - the diametric opposite of VIII. As I've said before, IMO it captured the swashbuckling feel of the original more than any of the others.

Unfortunately, it was like the kid sitting in class who finally turns around and confronts the asshole behind him for kicking his chair, only to be the one the teacher sends to the office for disrupting the class.

Very excited after seeing this trailer. I didn't think I would be.

Can't WAIT to not pay to watch this!

Thank God for Russian bastard-teens with hi-def cameras and mafia-owned theaters!

Expect incoming Fire Me Boy! neg rep upside yo head

Boo-****ing-hoo. And I hope he is aware that I strike back, with precision and malice.

The Disney SWs circle jerk is in full force. Kathleen Kennedy appreciates the contribution of your souls. :shake:

I wonder if this will be shit like the last one was

Hope it's not a steaming piece of shit like the last jedi.

Hold out your right hand and close your eyes.


Now, hold out your left hand.

It was fine, not great.

I would have preferred we got a movie with someone who would have resembled a young Han Solo instead of the whole star lord thing, but whatever.


It's actually too bad the negative response to TLJ caused such a dip in it's box office. It's a MUCH more enjoyable movie imo.

Didn't you like TLJ?

It's plainly obvious "Rise of the Skywalker "doesn't refer to a person.

Yup. Everything you said here is true.

Glad to see SDH came around instead of pretending TLJ was some glorious achievement, but I'm going to remind him he really liked it when he saw it. He was NOT happy about my criticism. Particularly for the whole "****ing up Luke Skywalker irreparably" criticisms I levied.

Which I stand by. It was a terrible send off for one of the most iconic characters in film history. Disgraceful even.

Initially. But then the warts starting pouring in along with the damage done to so many aspects of the franchise and characters that I wasn't noticing at the time. It was hard to see at first because these movies aren't meant to be taken too seriously. But then again, neither are they to be removed from the timeless hero arcs and classical influences that made the originals great.

Further blurring the view was the poor storytelling and too much reliance upon CGI of the prequels. When you place the two side by side, you have two examples of extreme turd polishing, both that are an affront to the OT.

Frankly, none of this shit should have ever happened. SW was just fine as three movies.

Yes.

I like the mythology. I don't care if they use it and revisit it for movies or TV shows or video games.

Just leave that story and those characters alone. It BARELY made it out of that ridiculous ewok debacle with it's OWN credibility in tact. XD I'm done. This movie can just disappear up the cultural zeitgeist's puckered anus.

Which is why The Mandalorian looks so good.

Yip. Everything not related to the abortion of KK's trilogy has been fairly solid to really good. Unfortunately, animation has taken a downturn. It seems that Dave Filoni just isn't in to it anymore.

Also, EA's new Jedi/66 game looks promising.

Not into animation anymore?

You know there's a new season of Clone Wars coming, right?

Right, but those were pretty much in the can prior to the buyout I believe.

I think the ones in the can were the sixth season episodes that Netflix put out. This upcoming seventh season was a revival that as far as I know nobody knew about, and a rare opportunity to actually finish a cancelled series.

In any event, "Resistance" which he created and is responsible for is a steaming load of ass. As if it were written and directed by an entirely different entity.

By the way, what the **** ever happened to the Knights of Ren?

We hear about them and then... nothing. Where the **** are they? We gonna see these guys or what? We just pretending that was never mentioned?

They were in the poster, but that doesn't guarantee we see them.

They were off having coffee somewhere. They're in the movie. If you watch the trailer, you can clearly see Kylo Ben killing the one that carries the club/ass paddle. My guess is that Hux has loosed them on Kylo Ben for killing Snoke.

In this movie, Hux is feeding info. to the resistance in order to try and take down Kylo Ben. He hopes to succeed him of course.

After hearing/reading recent articles and statements by KK the recent trilogy-cluster-**** makes more sense. Almost no communication between Mystery Box and Round-Head-Ryan. Instead of building a cohesive story she treated this trilogy like an anthology.

Forget politics - just from building a cohesive story from film to film was a complete disaster. Marvel fans will hate it but perhaps the best option would be to fire KK then give Kevin Feige SW's and a huge raise...

I would install Dave Filoni as head of Lucasfilm and here's why:

Dave has proven over and over that he understands how to write a cohesive SW story. For "Rebels", they got in to the habit of writing the episodes in threes, much like you would a SW film trilogy.
Dave knows when to bring suspense and action, and when to hold back. He knows how to present emotional themes without being sappy, and his knowledge of the EU and Old Republic eras are without peer among those already working for Lucasfilm/Disney.

He is my first choice and considering all of the time he spent with and being mentored BY George as they launched 'The Clone Wars' together, I do not believe there is a more qualified and passionate person available for the job.

Then it needs to happen immediately.

There is no way I pay money to watch a SW's product while she's in charge. I doubt I even watch anything outside of the animated stuff...

Yeah, the whole PR media strategy of '**** our bigoted fans, our movie was awesome!" was probably not the best way to go either.

Oh man, Filoni would have NEVER allowed that shit to happen. Of course, he would have never approved a trilogy without a cohesive and defined story arc either.

:clap: 100% agree :clap:

I said nothing could bring me back and that's not actually true.

Kill Rose in a trailer. And I mean in the most grueling and pointless way possible. She's out gathering food and steps on a land mine from a war generations ago. It blows off her leg and she gets eaten by Ewoks or something.

Do THAT and I'll go get my tickets.
