The Rise of Skywalker (2019) social media impressions
- Thread starter Cross-Section
- Start date
It's literally going to be an all out war against TLJ fans vs TROS fans. Rian Johnson stans vs JJ stans.
JJ please don't take a dump on my favorite character.
You are aware that text on a computer screen isn't reality, right?
Just take a few bong hits b4 you go. I'm sure that would taste fine high.
I just re-watched TLJ last night and I can't remember if he addressed Han dying, but it's likely that decades without contact and Han also breaking up(?) with his sister didn't do wonders for their friendship, and he does some pretty significant things in the second half of the movie for his sister, who I assume he trusts to keep herself safe with The Force up until the last moment.
Not trying to change your mind or come for you, just giving my perspective here.
I have a lot of qualms with TLJ and a swashbuckling, heroic Luke might have been cool, but ultimately it would have felt creatively cheaper than what we did get.
I love Endgame but are you actually insane. It was 3 hours of blatant pandering and trying to earn brownie points with the fanbase.
This sounds like the finale to the Skywalker Saga is going to be GOT season 7.
Everyone thinks they are so god damn clever. The Game of Thrones one is especially eye roll inducing.
There only time before I have ever seen twitter previews for a big live action blockbuster film this mixed instead of nigh-unanimous praise was for Justice League...
This is what happens when you encourage reactions to reactions of reactions. People always say that individual forums or sites are echo chambers but in reality it's the whole fucking internet that's the problem.
I don't understand these food analogies!
If this reviews anywhere nearly as bad as JL, there's going to be a bloodbath at Lucasfilm. No way in hell does it review that bad though.
Jesus. It kinda feels like the people with the most glowing reactions posted them right after leaving the theatre and everyone else just marinaded their thoughts overnight. I know I hate JJ Abrams but some of these takes are brutal to read.
something tells me twitter is not the ideal vehicle for thoughtful film criticism.
The Force is in all living things (thats not new information in The Last Jedi, it's been the case for the entirety of the franchise as you point out) and that living thing can call itself Jedi or Sith or whatever the hell it wants (ability to use the Force isnt in a name) but if that living thing doesn't have the appropriate midichlorian count, its not gonna be wielding the Force in any significant manner. And Last Jedi didn't change that. If everyone in the universe had the capability to use force powers, why isn't everyone in the universe using force powers? Because they dont have a high midichlorian count. Why were Qui Gon and Obi Wan so marveled by Anakin? Because his midichlorian count was off the charts! Higher than Master Yoda's! We gotta train this boy!
Like all JJ Abrams movies, this is absolutely going to be a film where many people leave the theater with a big grin and only a couple hours later start to go "Wait......what?!"
This is just an observation:
So, is using food analogies when talking about a movie a thing now?

Never? Pretty sure Star Wars is an established part of pop culture regardless of what Disney does going froward. There's a reason the series is referenced and parodied even after all this time.
Besides the spin offs seem to be doing alright.
That's like the nicest response I've ever gotten in a Star Wars thread! Thanks. I didn't consider the fact that he broke up with Leia even though they seemed still fond of each other in TFA. Interesting perspective though
It's hard to notice in light of everything that followed, but both the original 1977 film and ESB worked hard to "subvert expectations", to steal that overused cliché.
If all you do is give people what they want, you risk becoming irrelevant when the next Thing comes along.
A lot of these new ones are from a different screening this morning.
I believe this screening just let out, so these are Fresh Takes.
Pretty much. Flashy and shiny, but prone to collapsing as soon as you think about them for more than five seconds.
I love when I am about to type a response and someone else has already said it, pretty much word for word lol.
Of course ehrlich hates it dude is a last Jedi stan purely because it pissed off Star Wars nerds
Oh god, there was? That both explains some things AND raises further questions.
I think there is another screening in LA going right now, so in about an hour or so we should get more impressions.
If by now you mean the last 70+ years of movie reviews then sure. People have always compared movies to a meal of just dessert with no veggies, it being under baked, too many cooks ect. This is nothing new.
And most actual critics don't write and post reviews right away, in which case...
So, Rey is impossibly powerful from what I can tell. My guess is Kylo is somehow redeemed, and the other characters provide great filler. Sounds like a Star Wars movie to me
I'm a massive MCU fan, I love Endgame, but literally what. That's exactly what Endgame was.
