Hahaha iam very anti soy trust me, iam as surprised that I loved the film as much as anyone. It really was very good imo, probably as good as it could have been with how average and empty the previous 2 were.

Some ppl loved it...IDK why, but yea. I hated it and TLJ. It just felt like they made the Force too strong.

In my head none of these new films are the true story anyway since Lucas sold out and his treatments were canned. So we will never really get the final trilogy as intended. What a complete letdown for such a massive, global franchise.

Lol at Disney taking a massive dump on Star Wars.

Bros

I paid my $35 and 2.5 hours of my time - I sure as hell want to enjoy myself. So I lowered by expectations, turned my brain down... and I enjoyed it. The plot was predictable but fun, there weren't any major new characters introduced, and you can bet I was anticipating the 'binary sunset' theme to play at the end and it was kinda emotional because I loved that music as a kid.

I got my money's worth. But truthfully it sucked

The big problem is Obnoxious film making. They can barely have 30 secs of (chitty) dialogue before music starts playing - as if to tell you that the scene is about to end because they just know you can't concentrate for any longer. And god forbid we have any extended dialogue that reveals back story or character development. Nah just have characters talking over each other and make sure they explain the plot before anything else.

Rey calling herself a Skywalker just doesn't sit well. Her parents are rightly depicted as noble and loving - they never give her up and get murdered for it - and Rey says as much. So why not find out more about her parents? Yes she is related to Palpatine (LMAO that came out of nowhere) but by taking on a different name she is casting them aside. Leia apparently saw good in her despite her ancestry so isn't this partly due to her parents and early upbringing? It also rubs against the advice to 'not be afraid of who you are'

u w0t?

I really hope that isn't the price for a ticket lol

IMAX 3D

It is what it is

Haven't seen it yet but Daisy Ridley is so ****ing hot.

Definitely the best movie from the new trilogy. Episodes 7 and 8 just weren't very good in my opinion. I wasn't expecting much after The Last Jedi, but I was pretty surprised and happy with how they finished the Skywalker saga. I don't think it's better than any of the prequel films, maybe I'm just biased because I grew up watching them. But it's definitely still a good film and gave some hope that future Star Wars films won't all be complete disasters like The Last Jedi.

I went into this movie expecting to hate it. I didn't hate it, which is a win for me at this point. It has issues, absolutely. If this were any movie but Star Wars Episode IX, I would make fun of it for all of its flaws. But considering The Rise of Skywalker had to not only tell a story, but also had to fix the mistakes of the previous film and conclude a nine film saga, they did what they could.

As a sort of side note: Kylo Ren and Adam Driver really carried these films in my opinion. It's a testament to how great of an actor he is. His transition back to Ben Solo was great. I loved the "ouch" line, and the subtle shrug he gives to the Knights of Ren when he obtains the lightsaber. He was the only character that I was invested in during these films.

Overall score: theytried/10

12 page thread of grown men watching Disney Wars holy fuk you all need to be given a wedgie and thrown in a locker f*cking nerds grow up

6/10 movie. every other character in the movie blindly obesses, follows, agonizes over Rey like a bunch of beta adult virgins do around a hot cam girl

too cartoonish and boring. Empire still has the best lightsaber battle.

It's just a film, it was okay, like every film...

I would have much preferred a Darth Jar Jar big bad than Palpatine still being alive for some inexplicable reason.

They could have gone out with a fuking bang like this...

Movie should have had Darth Jar Jar slicing Rey in two and Force electrocuting Ren. Then it just ends with him sitting on the throne as the resistance is slaughtered.

It was a complete piece of schit.

This.

I thought the same.

That being said....Horrible movie.

lol dudes are gonna watch it, but lol at people actually going out their way to pay to see this chit. Disney Wars is old newz

I liked the movie. It brought the story back on track and undid Rian Johnson's failings. Shure it was overloaded, suffered from powercreep and created some plotholes trying to patch up the story, but it delivered a satisfying action-packed story, that honored the original trilogy without copying it.

The Good:
-the world building was gorgeous and well done
-most action scenes had some great purpose behind them and weren't just thrown in
-Hux being a spy explains his incompetence quite well
-I liked how the Emperor totally fodderized Rey and Kylo at first
-every side character had some purpose
-the comedy bits involving C3PO worked well and werent overdone
-The final battle was a nice climax and they really went quite far with the suspension
-Lando still has a lot of swagger
-I like how Rey takes over the Skywalker legacy, I mean why not? Luke and Leia are the closest thing to parents she has known
-Poe's storyline was kinda cool from bickering hothead to rebellion leader

The Bad:
-the emperor's unexplained survival seemed pretty unbelivable
-the first half of the movie was a little too hectic for my taste, let me enjoy the settings
-Chewie should have stayed dead to build some suspension
-that whole 'rescue Chewie' subplot could have been scrapped, it made no sense to rush in there without any plans and the bad guys looked like fools during it
-there was no real suspense during the Kylo/Rey fight, since Kylo wasn't trying to hurt her anyways
-old characters appearing as ghosts happened a little too much
-how did this rag-tag team of random pilots beat Palpatine's giant fleet?

Other notes:
-those new Force Powers bothered me at times, but didn't seem that out of place witnessed similar stuff during the Clone Wars and video games(stopping space ships telekinetically, cutting through vehicles, force ghosts using powers)
-I think that teleportation power isn't the old 'fold space' and only works via Rey and Kylo's special link
-I don't think jedi can resurrect dead people now, they can only reanimate dying ones and it also costed Kylo all his life energy
-healing wounds is OP though, but at least they made shure it crippled the user
-Leia knocking Lukke down during a sparring match does not make her more powerful than him, I doubt either of them went 100% serious

Oh look, the conflicted guy turns to the good side, then together they kill palpatine, then the conflicted guy dies, then the hero leaves and the whole universe celebrates. Sound familiar?

I didn't really like any of the sequels, but at least episode 8 kind of had its own story. It wasn't an exact copy of the original trilogy like episodes 7 and 9 were

The thing that annoys me the most is that this trilogy makes the events of the original trilogy seem like a complete waste of time.

What happened in the original trilogy? They...
>blew up the Death Star
>blew up the second Death Star
>killed the emperor
>liberated the galaxy from the evil empire
>good guys win

Now like 40 years later...
>the galaxy is ruled by an evil empire again??? How?
>they have another Death Star but this time it’s biggerer
>the good guys are still called the “resistance”? Lol didn’t you guys win the war? Shouldn’t the bad guys be the underdogs now? How could you let this happen again?
>all the OG heroes die in stupid ways
>oh and the emperor isn’t even dead lmao... Vader sacrificed himself for nothing I guess


What was the point of the original trilogy then? What did Luke Skywalker and his gang accomplish that wasn’t completely undone within a couple decades?

Extended Universe Emperor Sidious used a lot of clones to survive, kind of like becoming a force ghost and possessing a new body, that was he and Plagius' immortality.

Anakin being the chosen one had more to do with Plagius' meddling with the force than anything Sidious did, so after Plagius and Sidious were killed/dethroned, the force reached a balance and stopped giving a **** until the next set of *******s started messing with it.

The point is there is no point; the force is going to force balance between the Sith/Jedi, and as long as there are force sensitives in the universe, the same tired plot is doomed to repeat itself. There will be another sith emperor, there will be another chosen one, and all of the regular people are caught in the middle of the endless conflict with no free will. When viewed in this light, the force can be seen as an evil entity.

I watched it tonight and I’m honestly glad it’s over....I really wish they had of cut it off after Return of the Jedi.

Star Wars was a Cold War era film series that never really survived into the 90s...All of the pieces were there (Big Sound/CGI/Epic worlds/Force/etc) but the story was lost. What they never understood is that we didn’t care about the world of starwars. We cared about the people in the original series. They abandoned them, built the story round lineage and tried to make it work. It never worked..They should have never gone for prequels. If they would going to move forward they should have done sequels.
