Snoopy8 3,341 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Liked The Force Awakens (no. 7) because of the huge build up. Didn't mind the Last Jedi (no. 8), reckon people were too critical and analytical and did not sit back to watch the movie. Rogue One was excellent. Looking forward to Rise of Skywalker... 👍 Time to cast (or re-cast) your vote in above thread... Edited April 13, 2019 by Snoopy8 Added poll link, typo 2 Link to post Share on other sites

In fact 8 was sooooooooo bad I have no desire to watch 9 or revisit any of the Star Wars movies. I am keen to watch Solo someday though as I've heard good things about it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

pops9745 166 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 7 was fine - probably because it was derivative (and a long time coming). 8 was almost criminally bad - enough to turn me off 9 (or maybe 8 was designed to jettison the old folk anyway). I grew up with 4, 5 and 6, suffered through the childish 1, 2 and 3 (and I could sort of forgive George as i knew he had not grown as a story teller) but 8 just seemed to take everything that I held dear and stamp on it like stubbing out a cigarette butt. Rather share my kids' interest in the Marvel Universe now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
noddyc43 134 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 With jj abram at the helm for 9 I think we are in for a treat. If anyone can mend it he can. He did some fantastic work with the star trek movies. The scene with Leah and rey, lando in the falcon brought a tear to my eye. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Peter_F 1,716 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) I love the Star Trek reboot with Chris Pine as James T Kirk. When you compare these to the last 7 Star Wars movies the studios should bow their heads in shame. Edited April 14, 2019 by Peter_F ... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SimonNo10 70 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 The title should be "And finally it Ends". These last attempts have brought nothing new to the Starwars universe with weak characters and average story telling. I couldn't care less about the new characters and now their trying to bring back the old characters because they know they made a mistake killing them off. Bringing back the Emperor...give me a break. Too late she cried too late. IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

zenikoy 1,481 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I've seen them all at the cinema since 1978. So it's just kind of tradition now. Ep8 I can hardly remember the plot. Actually, I mostly remember checking my watch in the last hour as I had to pick someone up afterwards. Rogue One was excellent, and I've heard that it was "nobbled" for being a little bit too good compared to the recent episodes. Solo, I started watching the first hour and then broke off to do something important, like the dishes, then my Stan subscription expired. I doubt I will see the end of that one. So bring on Ep9 and let's end this thing! Link to post Share on other sites
cafe67 3,911 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Rogue 1 was supposedly even grittier in early drafts/cuts to be even more war movie like, but got fiddled with to tone down the grittiness. But even rogue 1 had crap pointless characters, like Forrest whittakers character. At least the droid in rogue was better than the droid in solo Link to post Share on other sites
warweary 642 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 So rise of skywalker. What we looking at? Is leah skywalker going to become the new president of the new republic? Is luke skywalker going to reincarnate and start doing weird magical stuff? Is rey a skywalker? Will Ben Solo seek a name change at marriages births and deaths before becoming dictator? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Umm no it's based on the last 2 movies with the same characters which are boring and forgettable...IMO. Just go on Youtube and watch the reactions of die hard fans to the new trailer and you will see the hate. We got burned with the last movie making Rey too powerful with limited training, the Mary Sue of Starwars. Back flipping over a tie fighter...Why?? So tie fighters are land speeders now . This movie will be no different and looks like we are going to Endor...hmm just like ROTJ with the last movie just like Empire (walkers at the end). Hopefully we get to see Wicket and his family and how they've struggled under the First Order. Should be epic . 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ThirdDrawerDown 4,400 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Disney's corporate behaviour for movie promo and what's in production etc shows tacit acknowledgement that they've almost killed their once-valuable property. Which is ironic, because Star Wars jumped the shark/ revealed itself as a Disney stories-for-children narrative when Luke and Leia's heartfelt passion disappeared in a wisp when they discovered they were related. If this was truly the stuff of legends, that would be where the story starts, not ends. See any Greek legend you care to name. Link to post Share on other sites
noddyc43 134 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I think the view of this series success really depends on who people view the target audience is. I grew up with episodes IV to VI watching the last two at the drive in and as a child was super excited about the good Vs evil thing those episodes highlighted. Now I see that same excitement in my kids with the current series ( a little less so with ep VIII ) and with the joy i see in them gets me equally excited about the last episode. I don't feel that as I grew up with Luke, Leah and Han that Disney owes me anything in closure or that they are rehashing what was in the original. They are movies and if you don't like them then fine don't watch them. No need for all the hate on them. 8 Link to post Share on other sites

cafe67 3,911 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Lol, that's where it's get interesting, the older raised on eps 4-6 grumbling away versus the newer raised on eps 1-3 looking forward to 9. I was 10 when Ep 3 came out, would I have done the same when Ep 1 or 7 came out at the same stage. At 10 was I really that interested in the better storylines of 4-6 or has that just risen it's head in later years compared to the newer movies? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It means more than a movie and people feel they personally "own" it. There is no way possible anyone could ever make a Star Wars movie now that would be acceptable. Me, I'm along for the ride. I cant say Ep1 and 2 were my favorites but they were part of the story. Just as this is. I really liked Ep8 and thought it tied together quite a bit. I hope this one goes out with a bang. I mean its the end, it has to end big. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
