Nah. Not a chance.
The trailers for TLJ were great and the movie was.. not. These trailers aren't even good. I don't see anything to be excited about, especially given the messy diarrhea dump the last movie took on everything that came before it. And I'm a guy who thought it was basically IMPOSSIBLE to make a bad SW movie. I didn't HATE any of the previous films no matter how flawed they were, but I hated TLJ. I almost walked out, but I hate wasting money. Last edited by WhiteWhale; 11-07-2019 at 10:50 PM.. |

I'm with Frazod. Only way I'm seeing IX in the theater is if fan reviews are outstanding. Whichever streaming service gets it is where I'll see it. Disney, wherever.

DANE! So glad to see you back, at least here. I assume you are privately enjoying the Mahomes era.
You certainly didn't disappoint with your take. It's so involved I can't even discuss it intelligently, so I won't try. Sounds like the next one will be bad as I feared. I also loved both Rogue One and Solo, and thought both were the best entries since the original trilogy. Rogue One had a great, dark story (that ending-holy shit), and I thought Solo captured the swashbuckling feel of the original Star Wars far more than any of the other movies. It really sucks that it took the bullet for the Last Jedi, and sucks even more that the Disney brain trust didn't figure that out, because I'd love to see another Solo movie. Oh well. I have high hopes for The Mandalorian, although I plan to hold out until the run is complete so I can watch it all at once. I don't need another full time subscription in my life, and Disney doesn't offer much else that I care about. Anyway, thanks for the info. Great to hear to from you! |

The problem with Disney Star Wars is they left little imagination on the table for people to dream about what goes on in space meaning they just over saturated the stars at war. Otoh though Star Trek has been able to capture the what's out there"?" aspect of the show.

I'm not supporting Kathleen Kennedy's Star Wars franchise after TLJ bullshit

Solo is a great flick, truly. I am slightly ashamed that I didn't go see it in the theater, but because of the horrible pile of crap that was TLJ, and the horrible previews for Solo, I waited it out and watched on video. Solo and Rogue One are the only ones of the modern movies I've actually purchased.

Yea, the Star Wars brand is definitely wounded. Probably too much product in a short amount of time. I enjoyed the Han Solo movie a lot. Isn’t Spielberg making another Indiana Jones once he’s done with West Side Story? I have my doubts.....Ford is just way too old for the role now.

The last one stung. I walked away from the theater with this stunned WTF feeling, while it seemed like everyone else around me liked it. I'm going to be more cautious with this one. Especially considering some of the pathetic potential spoilers already.

Glad to see you back to at least let us know Star Wars stuff in this thread.
I thought the 3rd act of Rogue One was the best act of the whole Star Wars universe. The Darth Vader scene wasn't originally even in there? I hope Gilroy gets his chance to take on a whole series or movie. Glad to hear D&D were fired. I heard that the cast and HBO were on board with doing an additional episode or two to flush out the last season story of GOT but D&D wanted to move on to Star Wars. Any truth to that rumor Dane? Sounds like Lucas films has got fat and happy in its old age. New blood is needed.
