Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Official Thread)

I would have been down to see them write some bull just so they could resurrect Luke

I was tight when they killed him off so anticlimactically in TLJ

Could have done more with some legit light saber battles

I just got back and i really enjoyed it. I think JJ did the best he could with how The Last Jedi left the story. The movie was paced very well, and the action was the best in the new trilogy. The humor is improved too. I want to see it again tomorrow

Now that it is done I need to know how Lucas would've done the trilogy. Hope he will bless us with something soon

Question for anybody that already saw this, I'm just wondering if I missed something -

Spoiler

Did they ever really explain how Palpatine was still alive? As I recall it was basically just like -

"This nikka Palpatine still alive"

"How sway, how?"

" IDK, probably used the dark side or clones or something, anyway we need to find him".

If not they really could've explained that a bit better.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

I mostly agree with this, but I also think this trilogy could have been better in more competent hands

I love 1-6 but this trilogy feels a bit off. The stuff we saw in Rise should've been present in Force Awakens.

Critics liked The Last Jedi for the most part but fans hated it. Whereas with this, it seems like critics are bashing it but audiences think it's mostly decent.

That seems to be the case as I've seen a few people post on FB that they loved it and one girl even called me out for saying it was a mess of a film. I may end up looking like the crazy person on this.

Even the main guy on Midnight's Edge channel said it wasn't as bad as he originally thought (but he's not a big Star Wars fan.)

Spoiler: Nope but...

It's kind of implied that he cloned himself...I guess? Honestly I don't know. If Palpatine had planet destroying Star Destroyers on ice the whole time why the fukk did he need Starkiller Base?

If they were to save the trilogy by just saying "fukk the plot, let's just fan service the shyt outta this" what would you have liked to have seen for fukkery's sake

Rey be a Quill and Finn be a Sith while Kylo Ren converted to Jedi and fukked Snoke and the empire over. Easy fix.

I think this film is far better than The Last Jedi but it was impossible to salvage what they had done. People expecting them to change course completely and push Rey aside to suddenly prop up Poe or Finn were always going to be disappointed. They made their bed on the direction they took with Rey, and within that range they did what they could to bring the story to a closure after TLJ threw everything in the incinerator.

That makes it an ill-conceived film by default, but they did a decent enough job to try and right some of the shyt.

The bootleg is in French but fukk this movie so much I'm not affected.

 

[ItWasWritten]

So are the critics wrong or right ?

 

[MarcP]

Sounds like the usual response to a JJ Abrams movie after the opening week. All the stuff that made you say "wait a minute" or didn't quite feel right when it first happened but you couldn't really give much thought to because JJ never slows down will become more apparent as the weeks go by.

Ben Skywalker is more likeable than Rey but we know he'll die to feminism power.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

I thought it was ok

That Chewie "reaction" almost got me

Its just an average movie, no more no less. Typical JJ


Finn was better, but still such a meh character. Rey and Kylo were handled decent.

 

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

Damn, even The Mighty Star Wars had to kneel and copy The Almighty M....I can’t believe they did that shyt,

ol “And I...am..Iron Man!”-ass hoe!
