Star Wars: The Last Jedi

[Captain]

Had nothing to do with my "specific expectations", I just wanted a good Star Wars story with a decent enough plot to bridge the action scenes.

Rogue One did that, 7 & 8 on the other hand are just really bad movies—Star Wars or not.

If anything, the new trilogy is making me somewhat appreciate Eps 1-3

Funny how people put this all on Disney (as a corporate entity) rather than the creative people involved

Eh, Disney makes all the creative decisions, from plot to directing to forcing awkward ethnic casting for the sake of "diversity".

It wasn't cohesive enough.

Still haven't seen it myself but this seems to be the consensus.

I think in the vein of star wars it was fine. They’ve all had dumb humor, mediocre plots and catered to kids with hand holding explanations every step of the way. “hmm it’s salt”. Nostalgia and Ford carry the original series. Hamil and Fisher were never great actors and Fisher was awful in the last two.

I enjoy them all for what they are. Even ep1-3. It’s great for the kids and somthing the whole family can get into.

It's a fine line innit, between going too serious like eps1-3 and over the top like the reboots.

The problem with TLJ though (and TFA) is that it was trying to be smart and landed on its arse, it lost a lot of the adventure imo.

I think it’s hard to please the older fans who are adults now and still cater to the young ones. My kids who are 9, 11 and 13 thought it was the best movie they’ve ever seen. I kept myself from shitting on it as we left the theater.

Idk, I know people who were adults back then and still think the 1st 3 were gold. They were pretty groundbreaking movies back then though which could be a factor.

[scared?]

I told you they said it was shit... As per usual... Face it nubs... Star wars movies suck....

[Eraser]

They aren't reboots

[losCHUNK]

They're soft reboots

My kids who are 9, 11 and 13 thought it was the best movie they’ve ever seen.

This is why it's a good film.

It doesn't really matter what they do as far as the older fans are concerned, there will always be tears. The closest it's ever going to get for them is Rogue One.

Rogue One was shit

[losCHUNK]

It was alright, I really enjoyed it at 1st but I fell victim to the fan service. I think people were falling over themselves over FTA, I was the only one that didn't get on with it :/

[phantasmagoria]

Rogue One was shit

Tsssk

[Eraser]

Shit, am I the only one that has to go over each movie title in their head when seeing these 3 letter acronyms?

[Don Carlos]

Hope I made it in?

Hah, I dunno, I actually did put DC on some artwork (the headphones the rebels wear in the salt flat sequence). I never checked if the painters actually used it.

After letting the dust settle, it's no Rogue One but the kids will like it. It's better than TFA.

I'll do a check next time I watch it

[Doombrain]

It was a mess.

Incorrect. One of the best SW films.

Finally got to see this. It was ok. Actually, I’d say it was good, but it’s not really Star Wars anymore. Disney, or the powers that be, has made it something different. Episodes 4-6 were more of a space drama. The new movies are action/adventure. Star Wars isn’t what it use to be, but these new films are still good in their own way...I guess...

[Doombrain]

Fuck off

[xer0s]

Such anger over Star Wars...

[Doombrain]

Not Star Wars, Disney. Don't start posting like Gramps ffs. The film was a big 'fuck you' to our generation.
