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. |

Well.. that kinda makes sense. Creating a light saber is, like, How To Be A Jedi 101.
Anyway, I thought it was entertaining. It looked ****ing beautiful, as Star Wars flicks always do. Killing off Ben was chickenshit. They should have allowed Rey to die and kept him. He's a farrrr more interesting character. |
