Star Wars: Episode IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

[Sassafras]

holy crap lol



Yeah definitely lol

The snake with girl dressed in white is just too damn close to Conan for me to actually hate it.

It is a real shame Saw Gerrera back story was never fleshed out of how he even came to being so cynical and paranoid that he resorted to using a mind reading secret weapon creature on people.

But as is Bor Gullet just comes out of left field and doesn?t work.

It?s crazy that I?m not really a fan of TROS yet it has my second favorite light saber battle in the entire 9 film saga ending in one incredibly emotional scene.

Well, nah - the frustrating thing for me is (and yet hopeful) prob. coz I'm into epic fantasy books (dunno) - is re the ST there's really good bones there, IMO. Some great sequences. Some good YT videos about editing and Abrams not giving stuff a chance to breathe e.g. the Michael Bay style.

Thinking about Abram's other work - IMO that's just who he is. He seems incapable of "cherishing" some really good stuff he introduced - for me the handling of Kylo is especially egregious - like, he just up and dies (instead of wandering off to exile and we get another film in a more capable director's hands). Wasting Finn. Overloading Macguffins that IMO are downright stupid like the knife thing (even if u accept a huge piece of debris is hanging around, anything like that is gonna shift/erode over time....)

But even with the Obi-wan dust-up, and even if Mando sucked or never existed, it just tells me Hollywood in general needs to get past its post-economic crash fear of taking risk and INVEST/re-invest in the craft of writers/directors. Instead of being safe AND pushing agendas. I view TROS and GOT as Hollywood getting a good slap about who they put in charge of things. But, ironically feel cautiously a bit optimistic. There's too many possibilities with SW to let it go (tho someone stop Lucas from his "Whills" etc. there's such a thing as over-explaining)

If TROS had been given the same thrilling set piece treatment and great secondary characters as RO I would?ve actually liked it.

Thrills like Vader, rogue squadron and multiple layer battles is what made RO great.

But no instead we got a non existing space battle in the grand finale to the ST!

Great and memorable secondary characters like K2SO, Chirrut, Krennic, Galen and 2 tubes is what made RO great.

But no instead we got Maz, Rose, Zorii, D-O, Babu and that horrendously boring resistance group in the grand finale to the ST!

Thankfully we got a great Leia and Han send off plus an excellent Rey, Kylo and Palpatine.

I don?t know which is worse though, Bor-Gullet, Rathtar, broom boy or that snake lol

They come around eventually, they always do.

Look at Khev in the Terminator thread. After months of Dark Fating, he has finally come to the correct realization that it sucked balls. By March, I fully expect him to wake up about Rise of Skywalker next.

Jye is on the road of recovery, just takes time.

For now, but like most addicts, relapse is inevitable.

Yea same thing happened to me with asm franchise. Trying to convince myself that it was good and told a great story but then I knew deep down it was awful and rushed. Sometimes we know the truth but it hurts to much to accept it

Say what you will about "They fly now!?" and even TROS itself, but this toy has a fun factor I've not seen since times of yore. It even has a rocket-firing action!

There are (mercifully) few TROS toys but I'm glad this is one of them.

Holy crap they made that lol

I just finished watching ROTJ and cant bring myself to watch the ST. After the great Endor ending Disney efforts are depressing. Leia and Han break up, Luke runs away after 1 bad mistake, and the biggest thing that bothers me is that Han loses the falcon. Then they all end up dead. UGH

Did HT even announce any tros figures?

 

[chewblacca]

Yeah, there's another Rey in the outfit she always wears but in white. I think the Force Awakens version is still available. I know those troopers are always on sale at Sideshow. Cant get rid of those things.

Also Kylo in patched-up helmet and Sith Trooper.




And that Treadspeeder is giving me serious mini-rig vibes. That's what TROS is, an EU story with mini-rig hardware!

Just Rey, Kylo, and the Studio-Mandated Troopers.
