The Rise of Skywalker (2019) social media impressions
- Thread starter Cross-Section
- Start date
I think it's extremely likely there's a sizable drop in the average critic rating of this movie vs TLJ and TFA. Whether that translates to a sizable RT meter drop will depend the willingness of movie critics to give say a 5-6 out 10 a fresh rating.

Just a note, for everyone who keeps responding to this as if it's an impression — it was posted before any of the screenings
It's a poster of The Rise of Skywalker.
Ughhhhhhhhhhhh
I deserved that.
That's an extremely valid point. It would have worked better if ended with them leaving in search of Luke. But he just had to have that big tease at the end.
While I haven't seen The Mandalorian, I feel like that works better on TV due to people being used to the "x of the week" format.
Oh wow, that is a pretty major detail. Sorry for posting that without knowing.
Episodic adventures for an episodic format. Films deserve more.
As a bounty hunter, his life is literally a fetch quest.
Now, back to TROS. 🙂
yup! I agree complete
It was billed as a continuation of the story of the Skywalker family, but not as the trilogy that would end the story of 9 movies. If they wanted to do that then maybe Rey should have been a Skywalker in TFA or TLJ. And maybe Sheev shouldn't have been left to this last chapter with no hint of his presence prior.
Sounds like they should've focused on giving a satisfying conclusion to the ST instead of dumping 40 years of unnecessary baggage onto it.
We'll have to see how Lucasfilm continues from here and if they manage to keep the younger generation interested. I know a lot of people between 12 and 18 from my school in Berlin that are heavily (!) invested in the new Characters. It's really hard to gauge that for me, though. It reminds me how people of my age (31) look back at the PT which seems absolutely baffeling with how objectively bad all of those Movies were.
I still don't think this will be hated to the same level as GoT season 8. You know that the space fights and lightsaber duels are going to look really good.
I guess we'll see how r/saltierthancrait subscriber numbers go compared to r/freefolk though lol.

People loving or hating a SW film? Seen that before...People either saying they love it or outright hate it.
It's not really that. I'm just trying to figure out what people mean when they call a movie "too video-gamey"

I see what the did there with the lighting ... mostly red on his face, but slight shades of blue to indicate there's still some good in him, lol.
It doesn't sound like it, Rian did a good job not letting his successor do that, i can give a ton of credit to Rian for that.
Well there goes the theory that people who hated TLJ will like this one.
Make a Kotor 1 and 2 movie you basterds!!! *angirly shakes fist*
I am not a Star Wars defender nor a particular fan of either TFA or TLJ, but it is clear some of these negative impressions are blatant examples of shitposting for the clicks. "This is the worst thing ever and let me include this ridiculously exaggerated and try-hard quotable analogy to make my point." Again, I am not commenting on the quality of the film one way or another, and I won't see it at release anyway. I just don't like this kind of bullshit.
Give me that film any day lol. Love Abbott and Costello.
Really wonder how this film will perform at the box office. If it follows the Star Wars trend it should fall in between the first and second of the trilogy. This series is all but dead in China so it will need a big performance in NA. It's a good thing that they're taking a break from the movies but if this thing under performs and comes in less than TLJ they're going to need to further evaluate the ip.
Kylo Ren and how he's depicted is probably the best thing JJ did with Star Wars, along with that final fight in TFA which is among my favourites in the whole series.
I've never played these, but people keep saying the story is so great, but I looked up a plot summary on Youtube on the Revean character's plot ... and man it's a trainwreck.
Yeah it's common trend among some critics now that if a critic doesn't like a movie they'll tweet the most outrageous hyperbolic thing to make you really know they didn't like that movie.
