    Default Star Wars Ep IX

    So even though I think the last Jedi is a pile of excrement I am very excited for ep IX, they have been playing their cards close to their chest with no teaser trailer out yet about nine months out from release.
    The info trickling out is that this will tie in the whole series from the prequels and be the conclusion for the Skywalker saga which I think is a good move.
    So you'd have to think some involvement with Anakin and maybe (and this is getting out there) a canon reveal of good old Sheev being the one that created him in the first place. I'd love to walk out of the theatre with dust in my eyes.

    I honestly believe that this could be the greatest Star Wars movie ever, it's a big call but my expectations are also weighed down to get me back to reality due to the recent track record. (Rogue One excepted)

    You and I obviously view Star Wars very differently . I loved TLJ. I thought Rogue One was a bad fanfic. Haven’t seen Solo yet because life has got in the way.

    I think Luke was portrayed excellently in TLJ. I mean, Rian did the only thing he could with him after JJ set up that he was missing. What other reason could there be for Luke to be AWOL and willingly let the universe go to shit? The bad guys didn’t have him, they were looking for him too. The only logical explanation for him not to be around was that he’d run away.

    I generally don’t talk about Star Wars though because the second anyone hears that I liked TLJ they start going all stupid and acting like Kathleen Kennedy personally busted down their bedroom door and chopped their genitals off with a dull knife.

    Not going to say much as I tried my best to look back and see if I could accept tlj but I cannot, there are too many dumb dumb scenes. At this point I am disappointed with the trilogy direction.

    Jj to finish this up, I hope he makes it more presentable to accept like how force awakens was. I already heard rumors about what may happen but I now avoid looking it up.

    Don’t get me wrong, I think tlj can be great with the exact story. I just feel some things were poorly done. Unlike Solo I enjoyed the movie better

    I've enjoyed all the recent Star Wars movies.

    My biggest gripe is not having the fox fanfare at the start. I've really struggled to adjust to that.

    I Love that they've managed to get john Williams to score the core films and that the music on the side films has been very well done, I'm quite a fan of Michael Giachino ( I might have spelt that wrong)

    You raise some fair points as to Luke's exile but I don't want this thread becoming a slinging match for the haters and lovers of TLJ as we already have a TLJ thread somewhere I'm sure. My dislike for the movie has nothing to do with the "SJW" stuff that so many complain about, to be honest I didn't notice it until after I watched YT channel reviews.

    I'm just happy that we are getting a conclusion to an overall amazing movie series, and hopefully the fandom gets hyped and happy for it.

    I hope so. It is super cool that at the end of this year, we will have another complete Star Wars trilogy that has featured Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia.

    I do wonder if they'll try to get Lando back

    Very little has been revealed so far, but it was revealed last year if he was going to be in the last one.

    I'm hesitant on this.

    Well, as hesitant as I can be for a Star Wars film.

    I'm not particularly convinced that JJ is a strong enough director to do the ending of this trilogy justice. He's a solid 7/10 director and I can see why Disney would give him the first movie of the trilogy. He makes unspectacular mass appeal movies. After the prequels I think that was attractive to Disney because they needed a widely liked base on which to rebuild the franchise.

    I don't think he's particularly suited to finishing telling a story though.

    I also think that this was the wrong franchise for his slightly scattergun "mystery box" technique. It's an incredibly lore heavy franchise. If you start throwing around things like knights of ren/reys parentage/why luke is a hermit/snoke's identity/rey's force flashback if there was no set plan on where they were going, though that's more the fault of the creative team than JJ I suppose.

    i'll be there at midnight screening if i can
    but i also understand the hesitance from people. i dont know much about jj abrams history and techniques but i thought force awakens was a good new jumping off point. i guess as mentioned maybe the issue is more that there was no overall story or attempt to really follow on from what jj and his boxes setup to begin with.

    im also ok if this is the end of the skywalker saga but i am hoping they start a rey and finn etc saga. it just seems to me like the new main characters are just coming into their own at this point and ending their stories as well would seem odd to me now.

    what could they do differently so it isnt just a re-hash of return of the jedi? im pretty much expecting a military defeat in some battle of the first order and rey and kylo having some kind of final fight.
