Star Wars: Disney Era

Far more devastating than Luke dying was Admiral Ackbar!  Why!  Just why!

I have read that the intention of this trilogy was to give each of the Han, Luke Leia trifecta their own focus and send off.  Leia's turn was meant to be episode 9.

With each new success, the prequels are being made to look even worse. I wonder if eventually people won't even consider them part of the catalogue.

It really upsets me. The story of how vader came to be vader is potentially the best story in the star wars universe, throw in a time when jedi's were everywhere and it should be amazing and it was ruined. Seeing these films makes me really wish they'd done the prequels properly. 

Just seen the last jedi, not as good as i'd heard but still very enjoyable and had some fantastic moments.

I'd be totally okay with them sending the prequels the way of the EU and completely redoing the story of the rise of Vader and the Empire.

 

I'm fine with Anakin turning to the Dark Side to try to save a loved one, but he needs to be a bit stoic and strong about it instead of the whiny teenager we got.

 

It also needs to line up with the continuity of the OT as well, like Leia remembering her mother.

Yeah I knew that but I said secretly as I know a hell of a lot of people are not happy he is coming back. At least I don’t have to waste my time watching Johnson’s separate trilogy now.

I’m going to sound like a butthurt fanboy now - and maybe I am - but the more I reflect on TLJ the more it falls apart. I think it may be the most stupid film in the entire series. 

It has some amazing moments and some truly Star Wars-y scenes but **** me there is a lot of crap in it. 

  Hide contents

Del Toro - pointless

Holdo - just tell Poe the plan then the mutiny never happens, the casino plan never happens and thousands of rebels being blown out the sky never happens, holdo having to sacrifice herself never **** happens! Just tell Poe the goddamn plan ffs! Argh!!!

Snoke - Who is he? What is his background? We’ll never know now. How did he not sense the lightsaber turning right next to him? He can link two people across galaxies to make them think they are connected but can’t sense the oldest trick in the book happening centimetres from his side? Stupid.

Casino planet - achingly bad. It’s a Disney/prequel mash up that just bores and annoys. 

Luke - ‘I’ll leave a map so if the rebels really need my help they can find me”. Rebels find Luke when they really need help “We really need help can you help us”?, Luke “Naaaaahhhhh”. His death didn’t feel weighty, had no impact at all and after 30-40 years of waiting for the payoff this was it? An oddly behaving Luke who sucks milk out of space cows tits and a death that’s about as impactful as accidentally treading on a snail.

Space flight Leia - stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid......... When they opened the door to get her in why didn’t they all get sucked through via compression? Makes no sense at all.

The humour is awful, way too much, way too weird and only about 10% were funny. Poe/Hux intercom was excruciatingly bad. Tone was all off. You had serious/grave moments punctuated by Marvel style gags which just killed the moment.

Admiral Ackbar off screen death as well ffs!

There is so much more wrong with this film, TFA while a retread was so much better for me, it set everything up for this sequel and Johnson came in and just fumbled it. He did a lot right, the visuals were great, the fight scenes were great, the throne room fight scene was exceptional. But he got so so much wrong, it almost comes across as arrogant that he wanted to piss all over where it was heading. Bloke is a hack imo. Thought overall he got it all wrong. It’s annoyed me. It thinks it’s smarter than it is. Johnson can **** off. 

Theres more but I’m spent now. I’m glad others enjoyed it but I’m secretly hoping JJ comes back for ep9 and gets it all back on course somehow.

I've been reflecting on it today and my overwhelming feeling is disappointed. Agree with everything you have said. I don't get why so many critics absolutely love this. 

It really is so stupid in parts

A lot of the fanboy stuff and low ratings seems to be "that's not how the force works" come on son!

it felt long, lots of drama and talky bits, really slow start, they seem to have so many pointless underdeveloped characters that are underused, not really a spoiler but what did Chewie actually do in this film? Also thought the main story which the film is based around (the chase) was really dull

Despite all that its still ok, got a good end, some beautiful scenes but for me personally it's nowhere near as good as the last 2, wouldn't even put it in the same sentence as ESB

saw someone famous on Twitter that I can't remember say it was the most rewatchable Star Wars film because there's so much going on, that certainly wasn't how I felt

Saw it yesterday - good but not great. A little frustrating, as with a few tweaks I think it _could_ have been great. Not as good as Force Awakens or Rogue One for my money, but still very enjoyable.

Didn't really work for me somehow. Not 100% sure why but it just didn't feel right.

It kinda felt like a movie with Star Wars characters, ships and aesthetics, but not like a Star Wars film...

Certainly wasn't terrible, it was a fine matinee movie. It just wasn't Star Wars good.

I really liked the Force awakens and Rogue One was also pretty good.

This one was a step back.

Just back from seeing TLJ. 

I’m a Star Wars fan and I’ve really enjoyed the two new films so far. 

 

I thought the last half an hour of TLJ was pretty decent. Apart from that I think it was the most boring film I’ve seen in years. 

And one of the major plot points made absolutely no sense. 

Very disappointed. By far the worst of the 3 newest films. Which is a shame as they’d been a real success in my book up until now.
