JJ screwed up when he destroyed the entire New Republic in two seconds by Darth Vader cosplayers who somehow had the resources to build a 100x bigger and more powerful Death Star that no one knew about.

although when you think about it this way, if the new republic is recovering and things are getting better but evil is simmering under the surface as sith forces start trying to insidiously worm their way in to undermine the governments

instead of retreading the OT you're retreading the prequels  :kobeyuck

But just imagine if Watto's Trade Federation was blockading Kashyyyk and Luke and Leia had to go negotiate a settlement and keep Watto from kidnapping Chewbacca and forcing the Wookies to accept unfavorable terms.

Alternate timelines are probably the most alienating thing you can do to fans and normal people. Even bore forums posters can't remember who count dooku is

What the fuck are you talking about. I clearly remember when he fought Master Gan-D'alph

if someone asked you "what are the prequels about" you could sum it up fairly succinctly.

I have yet to understand like Christopher Lee's role in all of it - I think he's supposed to be a main villain, but really... who the fuck was his character? :lol And what meaning the robot guys in Episode 1 had in the movie, let alone in the rest of the series. Or what the emperor's plan was other than to get shot in the face. Also there's giant flies that build the Death Star? It was a convoluted mess of a narrative, much more than the new movies.
giant flies?

The Rise of Skywalker is a bad movie and a miserable finale that serves no purpose other than to reassure adult fans of the original Star Wars that they are still the “chosen ones” of the pop culture galaxy.

Real talk: Real Star Wars fans wanted Mara Jade and Grand Admiral Thrawn in the sequel trilogy.

They could have even kept Snoke as a weird clone boi and just changed his name to Joruus C'baoth.

Someone on another forum mentioned after this most recent ep of mandalorian (might be the best tbh) that Carl Weathers' performance should be text book how to portray a SW character. Really strong secondary character. You don't miss Greef when he isn't on screen, but the show is always better when he pops up.

Star Wars films have been rudderless since 1994.
It has been reheated and reinvented twice for a new generation.

Original Trilogy: Nerd creates fun and innovative space films with friends and mostly unknown actors, lightning in a bottle
Prequel Trilogy: "Kids" movies about taxation and trade routes to sell toys and pioneer digital film making
Disney Trilogy: Banking on the IP with a JJ nostalgia reboot, turning it edgy, angst and woke with the Last Jedi and finally trying to conclude something that started as something entirely different

The strength of the original Star Wars, was that it was such a misfit to the era it was created in, it was something exciting and different even if objectively it wasn't even technically or from an acting point of view the best film at the time.
Lucas tried to replicate that with the prequels, but he couldn't because the stakes were way higher and in 1994 when he started writing TPM he couldn't count on the same adults that liked SW in the 80's to turn up and watch it.
He aimed it at a new generation trying to fit in the popular things at the time (digitization, comic relief, politics). If you look at the popular movies of the late 90's (Titanic, Babe, Toy Story, The Lion King etc.) you can see where he was coming from
and why with TPM, AotC and ROTS he was always one step behind chasing the market except with his technology.

It sorta reminds me of the final season of Game of Thrones.
GoT at that point had changed from an at the time daring fantasy series that was carried mostly by seasoned actors like Mark Addy, Charles Dance and Sean Bean
to a multi-season cross media behemoth that had lost its best characters/actors and source material halfway through the show. So they had to fall back on the only thing they had left Dragons and 'epic' battle scenes with fast action.

Likewise after 20 years, JJ had nothing left to fall back on but nostalgia. And even that nostalgia exists in at least 2 or 3 different forms at this point.  :doge
Unless he did something entirely different (and Johnson tried but couldn't pull that off within the Disney corporate constraints, so that was off the table) there was no way this would not end in a mediocre final product.

Honestly I can't believe there isn't an entire force ghost Skywalker (plus Obi) family scene or shot in this. I'm talking Hayden Anakin, Natalie Portman Padme, Luke and Liea, maybe Anakin's mom, and Ewan Obi Wan giving Rey a nice smile and wave. That seemed like something JJ wouldn't be able to resist.

Disney should honestly take a look at a franchise that did it right for universe building. That franchise being Fast and Furious.

i've seen worse films, but i'm not sure i've seen a more desperate one. it's like a frantic loser's last plea when getting dumped by someone way out of their league, begging them to remember all the good times and how everything they've got means soo much.

the clive barker/hammer horror palps is a proper laugh though, chewing every possible bit of scenery while being zipped around by his massive pneumatic mobilty arm. the characters talking around leia like she's a mostly mute puppet and interpreting every throwaway line they had left on the cutting room floor as something massively significant is also a right rib tickler if utterly morbid at the same time.

reading the plot points and leaks doesn't quite convey the smash cut reductiveness of how the whole farce comes together. something will be suggested, executed and already forgotten about by the time you've even gauged whats supposed to be happening. characters introduced and then 15 minutes later you're supposed to be invested in their relationship with the boring protaganists or plot that you've stopped bothering trying to keep up with when you've already forgotten their name. so many big attempts at emotional payoffs that borrow all their weight from films that had nothing to do with this vapid charade, like your parents couldn't afford the real star wars toys so got you some off brand ones and expect you to not tell the difference.

the fact the ending apes the victory shots of ROTJ to the point where ewoks are celebrating and pointing at the explosions in the sky is a masterful comment on just what a pointless waste of time this whole sorry endeavor was. the line "if we fail, it will have all been for nothing" is a recurring mantra in the film and it proves prophetic on a meta level.

i did probably enjoy it more than the last two if purely because of the massively OTT B movie moments or plot contrivances that genuinely had me laughing out loud, like ed wood meets ancient aliens.

So really the sequel trilogy kills the theme that Anakin was the chosen one, because clearly he did not bring balance to the force, nor did his progeny.



Palpatine is the true chosen one.

he didn't in the original trilogy either

it ends with zero living sith and exactly one jedi, which is not a balanced force, light side has its thumb on the scale

the only 7/8/9 trilogy for me is final fantasy 7/8/9, they even pulled off the "nostalgic fan service after a divisive weird middle installment" thing better than this apparently does

I think maybe franchises like these need to lean into the beefs and fanbase fractures, it would be cool if they, like, announced that rian johnson would be writing and directing his own alternative version of ep9, just for the fan forum drama quotient. teasing that he is apparently going to be recreating his version of ff versus xiii as a kingdom hearts game (???) shows tetsuya nomura is perhaps again ahead of the curve here

Easy way to fix this- what did JJ do with Star Trek?  He made it take place in an alternate timeline. 

So just make a new trilogy that ignores this last one and retcons it to have taken place in an alternate universe or some shit.  SW nerds love that extended universe stuff, right?  Go with that.

If they truly want to retcon it, just fucking break the entire thing from Force Awakens out. Everything after Episode 6/Return of the Jedi is non-canon: Going forward, the "sequel sequel Trilogy" is 60+ years into the future, thereby older actors (Luke, Han, Leia, Palpatine) can't be used because they're FUCKING DEAD (and no, using CGI for their force ghosts or whatever is dumb, don't do that shit).

Gives them good reasons to have the empire/resistance shit happen again without it being #TOOSOON'd.

The whole Sequel Trilogy was dumb from the get-go because the time-line was way too soon. I get they wanted the big three back, but in that case they should've had the three movies build up to a (Star) "War"(s). Which would've made for boring watching, but at least it'd make more sense than "wait, how the fuck is Death Star 2.0 happening in like a year after the wars' end?"

Rae has me convinced to give it another shot, especially since I’ve never actually watched Soul Man all the way through, having only seen the movie piecemail when it used to be a Comedy Central staple.  I bet it’s better than the Star War too.

I was looking at wookiepedia to see what it had to say about my boi Emperor Sheevy Deevy and came across an article about Operation: Cinder that explains that before the battle of endor, Palpers had a vision of Snoke taking over the empire and began setting forth a plan to start building/amassing weapons in the outer rim or whatever the fuck its called in Star Wars lore because he felt the empire should die if he were to die and had plans to make sure the empire was destroyed after he died by getting a small group of empire nerds to like...kill everyone to make it seem like the empire was truly dead and gone but in reality they would go to the outer limits so they could....rebuild the empire. The plan was for his group to lure both the remaining empire nerds and the rebels to Jakku, which would be blown up by dumping a bunch of sith artifacts into a telescope or something that would blow up the planet and kill all the remaining people, then his group would escape to the suburbs and rebuild the empire. That he wanted everyone to think was dead because he was dead. For reason.

But you know, he wasn't dead. So.

:What


:beli

:lol



This is canon, btw.
You can play the story of Operation Cinder in EA Star Wars Battlefront II.
I'm playing it right now, it's a fun little action romp but the story makes no sense.

Remember when Grievius was a OP Jedi killer and in Revenge of the Sith he got killed by a blaster while coughing?

This was when Lucas was in charge. Now imagine a giant corporation that could care even less than him.

Mando was good this week, liked the cliffhanger. Enjoyed the “son of a bitch I’m in” moments.

I just saw it. It wasn’t prequel bad but it’s aggressively mediocre for most of the running time. It’s got that bad video game plotting of JJ films where going anywhere requires a chase sequence that will always conveniently end right at their intended destination.

But then the final act is like...



One bit that’s going to trigger a lot of TLJ fans:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Rey goes to Ach-To and tries to throw away the Skywalker lightsaber. Luke’s Force ghost appears and catches it, and admonishes her that such a weapon deserves more respect than that.

this is awesome because it's both shitting on TLJ and completely in character with how that movie left him at the end of his arc
