Damn, I never thought about it this way before. Rey sees more good in a person she has met twice than Luke sees in his own nephew.
Man, I can't believe how bad I think this is going to review. Maybe I'll enjoy it more with my expectations so low, but it really seems like JJ and Chris whiffed this one bad :(
Rogue One is my favorite of the Disney movies. It has one or two scenes that are questionable, but it was great.
It took the MCU years to go through with actually retconning 1 major fan complain (The Mandarin Twist with the upcoming Shang-Chi) with all the planning they do to make sure everything is cohesive. And even then the retcon itself likely involves a clever usage of a character involved in the twist, a character the critics hated.
JJ apparently just did all the internet complains in one go and just ditched the characters the Internet told him were bad bad.
Amazing. Truly a remarkable filmmaker

Clone Wars is basically the saving grace of this franchise in the past 20 years.
Could be worse. A lot of people thought that looked shit from the outset. This one is on the back of two well-received films. More of a surprise.
So this is in a way a repeat of the original trilogy, no?
I sure hope he does, away from all the baggage of the main story arc. Give him all the time he needs, let him do his thing and tell a complete story. It'll probably turn out fantastic.
He'll probably get a solo film or a D+ series. I don't think Disney is eager to do trilogies if their latest comments are true/I don't want Rian locked into SW for the prime years of his career.
Agreed. There's nobody I think who could handle a fresh new story for Star Wars more than Rian. I mean, look what he had to say about the state of things a few years back:
Nah. It was fun. Most people i know enjoyed it as well.
There is a generation of people who actually like the prequels, this movie will do more than fine at the box office.
X of the Y is just a common naming structure for SW films so far
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
Return of the Jedi
Though you could argue Rian did the same to JJ with TFA.
It is only natural. He cut off your arm, and you wanted revenge.
I know hindsight is 20/20 but if you read between the lines in all those Abrams interviews about TLJ he sounded angry as fuck at RJ. Gotta love it when a director shits on another one when he has control of a franchise -__-
I hate TLJ
But we got this Ep8 because of JJ remaking Ep4
With RJ doing something new without being forced to follow a weak previous movie, he can do better, hope he will do his trilogy
Rogue One is still my favorite Star Wars movie period. To each their own.
I liked TLJ a lot but if TROS bungles it then it'll probably sour me on the trilogy somewhat. Clone Wars is (mostly) fantastic though, I agree with that. The format just suits Star Wars and especially that particular setting. Grateful we're getting another season.
I cannot even begin to fathom the mental gymnastics to reach this conclusion.
Word of mouth didn't hurt TLJ, (literally the opposite), unless you were enough of an armchair financial analyst to consider 1.3 billion and top blu ray sales to be what it looks like a film is hurt by word of mouth.
I honestly doubt the internet had much to do with that, by and large it seems he just ignored TLJ existed (including any characters and character development) and made a sequel to his own work. Knowing JJ Abrams previous work this is par for course and what would have happened anyway. I can't imagine a scenario where JJ didn't shaft Rose even if TLJ was universally praised by "hardcore" fans. It's just not how the dude operates
There is a gulf of difference between saying this in regards to defending plot points for two years being retconned by JJ, and with regards to losing it over a disagreement about whether this movie might possibly not be reviewed as well as another one. Don't be disingenuous.
Don't bother, dude. Remember what happened during BvS. Just let them rant.
Oof. This is an evisceration. I don't know who that guy is, but yeesh.
I said this earlier, but Clone Wars does a really good job of being an actual war story. Some of the battles it shows are really intense, it touches on things like PTSD, faith in war, disability, grief, etc. It even makes Anakin Skywalker into a likable character with depth.
