Star Wars: Episode IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

"Star Wars 9: First Rise of Skywalker reactions say sequel 'feels like apology for The Last Jedi'"[/I]

Oh dear...

Good. They should.

Tweeter ... seems about a 60/40 split, 60% didn't like it and 40% did... roughly...

All reviews on IMDb got deleted. There were loads yesterday and now I just see 3?

And so the control of information begins....

Good. They should.

I’m not expecting it to redeem the ST, that ship has sailed for me regardless how the film turns out; however, I am hoping for.....an apology.

Understandable. The fond memories of your dear childhood, when you were a happier person, are at stake, so I can understand how any criticisms of it would threaten that.

Sort like people who live for the original Planet of the Apes../ or original series Star Trekkies...

That show was awful....

I read today that Lucas did not attend the premiere but no idea if that?s significant. Did he go to the previous premiers?

I remember him saying he didn?t like that TFA was so retro but later backpedaled. Then he said TLJ was ?very well done.?

Lucas never said it was "very well done". That would imply he liked the story. He was quoted saying it was "beautifully made". The only comment he publicly made towards TLJ.

So basically, it looked pretty.

No way I want to watch this in a regular movie theater with jackasses checking their phone every 10 minutes -- as if they have something important to check on -- and people eating stinky food and over-laughing at mediocre jokes, pretending to be having a better time than they are. And the worst part is waiting for the movie to begin and having to listen to the two idiots behind me discussing Star Wars as if they are insiders.

over-laughing at mediocre jokes

Nothing is more annoying! And over the years there have been a lot of bad to mediocre jokes in Star Wars.

You need some time away from LA, Wor.

Star Wars has been like that from the beginning.

In 1977, my grandfather took me to see Star Wars at the Chinese Theater. He went to get popcorn and as I sat on my velvet seat before the majestic screen awaiting this strange new movie I heard two adult nerds (that term hadn't arrived yet) talking behind me about how there was already a sequel planned and that is why Darth Vader gets away at the end. WHAT!!!? Talk about Spoiler Alert! The movie hasn't been out for a week and already there are two jackasses discussing the movie at length behind me! That was my very first "annoyance" at a movie theater. And I will always remember it.

Did you just jump into my brain and extrapolate my exact wording/feeling about going to the movies these days?

There's one element of the plot leaks that I thought would be dominating the discussion once they were confirmed, but I'm not seeing anyone talk about it. Maybe that means that some decent context was given that'll make it better. If so, then . But, if the movie doesn't provide a much better explanation than what is described in the leaks, I don't understand how this isn't a HUGE problem for anyone. I'll put the plot leak in spoiler tags, but I'll provide a setup here first.

If there's one key event to the whole Skywalker Saga plot, it's Anakin's turn to the dark side. Per the PT, he turned because he wanted the power to save Padme (and would've used such power to save his mom before that). Even though he was the *Chosen One,* and was supposedly gifted like no other Jedi before him, he couldn't manifest the power/ability to save those he loved. And it's a power that couldn't be learned (or accessed) by a Jedi.

So, with all of those critical plot points in mind, the TROS leaks say that . . .

Spoiler

. . . Rey and Kylo BOTH have the power to heal and keep people from dying. WTF!? If there's one new Force power that JJ would want to avoid bestowing upon his new characters - so as not to completely **** up the logic behind the story of Anakin and his fall - it would be this healing/resurrection power. But he decides to give it to not one, but TWO, ST characters!? And they apparently don't need to even learn it! This ability just seems to come naturally and instinctively to both! Holy ****!

Again, if a solid explanation is provided, then it might play out perfectly fine. But if it's as random and lacking context as the plot leaks suggest, then this film couldn't take a bigger dump on the PT. And by doing that, it would completely undermine the extension of that story into the OT.

Nobody seems to be addressing this (as far as I can tell), but it's going to be the key thing for me that will make or break this movie.

JJ saw the Matrix Reloaded and thought, that'd be a cool power to give my two boring protagonists without any explanation or for it to be properly set up like the Matrix.

Dude. Criticize away. Type until your fingers bleed if it makes you feel better. It's not gonna change how much I like Star Wars and dislike Disney one iota, but nobody is stopping you.

Will be interesting to see where the RT score ends at. Didn?t expect many critics I usually agree with not like this movie.
