STAR WARS! STAR WARS! STAR WARS

Not trying to renew any beefs, but I just wanna send a little Last Jedi love out into the galaxy. It's simply my favorite Star Wars thing to come out in the last 30-odd years, and I love that the fandom is vibrant and varied enough to have different aspects that delight people in different ways (when it's not eating itself). <3

Shame there was never a follow-up.

Enjoyed it at the cinema , not so much on a rewatch .. that whole fin and rose escapade dragged it down ( and not letting Leia die) but it’s follow up was worse imo
 
So I just watched the last Star Wars film again there. I think I like it less now than the first time. Such a mess. Such a lack of jeopardy, such a lack of story. I didn’t think I’d ever say this but I actually think it might be worse than Attack of the Clones. Such a letdown after the Last Jedi which was the best Star Wars film since Empire.

I was referring to your slight of Return of the Jedi. In my opinion all the new movies except Rogue One are hot garbage, with The Last Jedi being not only the worst Star Wars movie, but literally one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

But again... I don't want to fight, look how cute this little guy is:

Hahaha! The worst Star Wars movie is Attack of the Clones, by a long way!

Don‘t get me started on the Madelorian!

I concur on Last Jedi, Ryan wanted to expand the universe, only for it to be shrunk back in by Rise of Skywalker. Rogue One is undoubtedly my favorite of the new Star Wars.

Yep. There is also such a lack of jeopardy in 9 that it ceases to feel plausible. I know space cowboys v nazi spacemen was never really plausible but it had charm and character that carried on through that and there was jeopardy, bad things happened to good people. Undead experror lost me but i mean everyone who died in that film miraculously wasn’t dead apart From the character played by the actress who was dead beforehand and Darth Emo. Everything about that film was turd.

I agree, the whole appeal of the Last Jedi to me was that it was ambitious and clever and though big. It was let down by its sequel just basically ignoring it!

Can’t believe Disney went into a trilogy with no plan, story arc or constant writers ...they literally winged it as they went along and have pretty much destroyed the franchise
 
But then saved it with the Mandalorian. Filoni and Favreau are going to make people constantly look back at the missed opportunity the sequel trilogy was. But if I'm being honest, the Skywalker story really should've just ended with Return of the Jedi. Part of why I enjoy Rogue One and Mandalorian are they take place adjacent to the Skywalker storyline. There's a link but it's not directly a Skywalker story. It's such a large universe where you could tell great stories outside of the Skywalker clan.

There's an Investor's Call on Thursday where Disney is expected to unveil other Disney+ Star Wars projects in the works including possibly a new animated show set in the High Republic era when Yoda was Baby Yoda age.

So there gonna show more of an actual Baby Yoda! 😅
 
Missed all the commotion the past few days here. I'm in a weird middle ground with the movies and TV shows. I have problems with all of them, but at the same time, I'm a man who can appreciate the trash. Episodes 2 and 9 are certainly in a pit well below the rest, but if they're on, I'll watch them without question.


Also, the last episode of Mando was cool as hell in my eyes. I like that we're finally getting into some meatier story, but...

How could they just go and kill a fan favorite character so suddenly like that?!? Our hero's and that ship have been through some shit, only to be wiped in the blink of a laser!

I was listening to The Watch podcast discuss the ep, and their opinions re: Boba were in line with mine, as well as their take on Razor Crest eating laser. They said it’s good that the ship’s gone before it becomes this piece of iconography nothing bad can happen to; they compared that to the Chewie takeout in Skywalker, and how you can’t have it both ways, putting characters in peril but keeping them safe because they’re Iconic.
