Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (J.J. Abrams, December 20, 2019) Movie • Page 212

hell yeah 5 more weeeeks

 

IMAX tickets finally secured

 

Yeah I'm stoked for this. I trust J.J with bringing us enough new that it's exciting and unexpected, but also with enough tone and old-school appreciation to make it feel like Star Wars.

What a lot of the whining fanboys don't understand is that whoever directs / writes Star Wars movies / shows now can never win. If Episode 7 came out and was all new, with new planets, new ships, new characters, etc. it would've been "too different! This isn't Star Wars!!!" It came out as it is, with all the amazing fan service we loved, and people still bitched that it was re-hashing A New Hope.

Johnson tries something all new with Ep 8 and still gets hatred to this day.

It's fucked. I love Star Wars, but it can't win. J.J will bring it though, dude knows what he's doing.

 

Finally reserved my ticket as well. Can't wait

 

Yep, just reserved my ticket today also!

 

That quote about Rian is seriously exactly what I was hoping/predicting would happen. Seeing people like Rian be creative and play with this universe in ways nobody has inspires others to be creative and to take bolder chances and mixing the old and new rather than being constricted and bound by the rules.

(Which appropriately was a huge lesson in The Last Jedi itself btw)

 

A balance will be nice like Abrams said. A little familiarity with new ground that isn’t over stepping out of Star Wars territory.

 

Completely unrelated to this movie, but I loved this live-action trailer for the Fallen Order game.

 

Lol the window bit was actually kinda funny.

 

Started my film rewatch last night.

Going linear instead of order of release.

I
II
III
Solo
Rogue One
IV
V
VI
VII
VIII

It'll time well so I watch Last Jedi the night before I go to TROS.

 

So in the Mandalorian thread people were talking favorite star wars characters so i decided to do this fun lil thing and rank my favs of each of these cuz i couldnt just pick one...and i was bored. dont have much to discuss in here for awhile so thought itd be a good place in case anybody wants to give theirs

Ep.1: qui-gon
2: obi-wan
3: Sheev
Prequels:Obi-Wan
Solo: Han
Rogue One: K2
4:Han
5:yoda
6:Sheeeeev
OT: Han
7: Rey
8: Luke
9: Idk yet but itd be cool if Sheev once again is my fav of the 3rd in the trilogy
Sequels:Kylo
Clone Wars: Ashoka
Rebels:kanan
Books overall:Leia
Movies overall:Han

 

Full disclosure: I had to look up Sheev. I feel like a Star Wars failure.

 

Frank Sheev is best boi.

 

I’m doing a rewatch.
Solo
Rogue One
IV
V
(Maybe parts of I)
II
III
VI
VII
VIII

IX

EDIT: And maybe Clone Wars for the first time.

 

I’m watching Rebels again at the moment. Closer to ep 9 I will watch all the movies in chronological order.

 

I did this as soon as Disney+ came out with the exception The Last Jedi (that's tonight) and Solo. I skipped Solo. I have seen it twice and I'm good there.

 

Just listened to the binge mode on solo and their excitement makes me want to watch it again but I hated it and thought it was trash when I saw it.

 

I've said it before but Solo is the best Indiana Jones movie since Last Crusade and if Spielberg is so intent on making more Indy movies they should just let him direct the 2 Solo sequels.

 

I do want a sequel to Solo to explore Qira, Maul, and crimson dawn, but I do really love the idea of Alden's Han and Chewy going on treasure hunting adventures in the Star Wars galaxy so much. Great idea.

 

I’ve been resistant to the idea of a rewatch in the lead up, but I’ve been feeling it recently. Think I’m gonna do this:

Rogue One
New Hope
Empire
Clone Wars (original miniseries)
Return
Force Awakens
Last Jedi

 

Have we ever gotten the Topher grace edit of the prequels?

 

Idk why Kathleen Kennedy and Co didn’t just let Lord and Miller make a buddy cop film in space. Would have been perfect for Solo.

 

How the fuck can I block out the noise of shitty Star Wars fans? I know it's very easy to just not read their comments and ignore them but their shitty views seem overwhelming at times.

 

it's a very loud, very obnoxious minority
