I ain't even mad anymore.

Great. I'm really happy you're leaving so there's that.

oh CoGro-poo, should I remind you that you also helped pay for that ghost town that you call Galaxy's Edge?

Now... It shall remain a ghost town FOREVER only for these Disney cucks to enjoy.

Yep SW went from a space opera that everyone loved to the tragedy of George Lucas. He became consumed by his creation to the point he failed to see what the corporate Hollywood system would do to it despite resisting it. The result shows for it, Kyle. It's like Shakespeare. He wanted to make great plays for the audience and tell his stories but it's the people that does and act in the plays that can butcher his intended version.

Same idea with Disney - they took his saga and added unnecessary chapters and warped it.
Star Wars will be now known as the tragedy of George Lucas in which he never got to finish the saga himself.

It's even interesting that DP had no issues with the opening crawl even though it's only three sentences long.

Well... I’m sure no one really doubted the leaks. If I were Disney, I’d be very nervous... as this could kill off SW films for the next decade (assuming TROS doesn’t prove popular). The trailers certainly make the visuals look good, but man, they really seem to have extinguished everything that Anakin and Luke fought for... and that pretty much kills off the entire narrative of Star Wars.

So... is Rey a Skywalker? Freezus?

Really enjoying the informed, nuanced opinions on the movie in this thread. Well done everyone!!!!

As long as it doesn't end with a Teddy Bear luau, I'm good.

Just a few more hours...

I'm just back from seeing the movie here in Belgium. Supershort review: it redeems some things I didn't like in Episode 8 and some of it's revelations are ... weird. Liked the first half a lot more than the last.

lmao i’m sure the plot line will magically change in 48 hours and not just be a retcon of father/son story of 1-6 and a nostalgia pandering mess that can only be explained as “a story for another time” because there was no reason for sheev to hide for 30 years if he could survive a trip into the exploding reactor of a moon sized space station for mary sue to kill

Maybe in the next trilogy he can reappear mysteriously too for the next flawless hero with no character to destroy

I'm not talking about the plot magically changing, I'm talking about judging a movie you haven't seen by a 20 second shitty (and highly illegal) cell phone video.
I cannot and will not judge this film until I have actually watched it, start to finish, on the big screen tomorrow night.

Rey is a Jedi but she's no Skywalker

Ewoks. I reckon it's the baby Ewok all growed up
