‘The Last Jedi’ Has Massive Opening Weekend

Unfortunately it was unwatchable.

 

Damn. I owe myself $5 for that bet I made with myself that we would get at least 3 posts in before the hottakes started.

I should have known better than to bet with myself. I always lose.

 

I had a blast with this. Loved the Battlestar Galactica ~vibe, loved porgs, loved watching all the angry fanboys combust while realizing things aren't just for them anymore.

 

All of this.

 

Also I would die for Laura Dern.

 

Unwatchable Scott.

 

Gotta admit I did like 2/3 of these things, never seen BG though

 

Why am I on Amazon looking at porgs Kayla, WHY AM I DOING THIS?

 

I enjoyed it overall. Super Leia and some of the humor made me cringe in what should've been emotional scenes (I'm looking at you: Luke throwing the damm lightsaber, and that f-ing lame cleaning the shoulder afther Ren's attack in the end). But the movie had great character development, and some insane visuals.

I'll probably watch it again in the theaters.

 

I want every single Porg toy in existence. My wife thinks I have issues. I'm right in wanting these, right?!

 

We're going to see it tonight I'm so excited

 

I agree with all of this, especially your first point.

 

Porgs did literally nothing in the film. Thought they'd take one and name it to be a companion for Chewie (as Han's supposed replacement). But there was just a whole spawn of them on-board the Falcon.

Actually, I'm feeling sorry for Chewie. Now Luke and Leia are dead too (going into ep 9). He must be lonely af.

 

I predict a "heroic sacrifice" for him in the next film. Maybe he jumps in front of a resurrected Phasma blaster bolt to save the little porg babies. Then he can be sold in a set with them.

I wonder if we will keep seeing numbers like this 5, 10 years down the road.

 

A more important question: why do all the plushies on the market right now look like GARBAGE? This is a slam dunk Disney make me a fucking porg toy that is soft and doesn’t look like a mashed potato.

 

Yeah I wonder how long it'll be after IX before rumblings of X,XI,XII. Rian Johnson's spinoff trilogy will obviously lenghten that gap but I really want Driver,Ridley,Boyega, and Isaac to return for three more.

EDIT: thought I was in the main thread, better safe than sorry.

 

I like this one from photos, but haven't haven't seen 'um in person:

Do we think his new trilogy will be known as episodes X, XI, & XII? I could see them disassociating with the episode trend and being all new movies.

 

Okay listen, it’s all on Hulu. It’s so good. Honestly tho I recommend skipping the prequel mini series. First watch through I didn’t know it existed and it was a much better viewing experience than my second watch through where I did. Just a lot of mysteries spoiled right away that kind of takes away from the show imo. (BSG fans, feel free to disagree)

 

Johnson's? No I don't see his first movie being titled episode X.

 

Maybe that will be the case if they move away from the Skywalker lineage.

 

Movie was really fun but wasnt as good as rogue one.

 

Honestly really enjoyed this one. I really don’t get why all the fanboys are hating on it so bad. I get it had some unnecessary jokes but is that really enough to ruin a movie for people?

 

Loved it. For 2 hours and 40 minutes, I was lost in a galaxy far far away. I laughed, I had a huge smile on my face a majority of the time, I got chills, what else can I ask for?
