Haven’t been interested in any new Star Wars-ish releases for at least 10 years.
The Star Wars saga has run its course with this long time fan. It’s time this story just rides off into the sunset and die like an old western. It has become just a bit too absurd and ridiculous IMHO. Star Wars lost its cinematic appeal long ago. No more for this long time fan who was around for the very first episode back in 1977. Wife and I waited in line 4 hours to see that epic. It was an adventure for us. Now the newer ones are a big waste of time and money.
Disney bought the Star Wars franchise for, what $4B. Now they’re attempting to recoup their expenses by pumping out a movie every year. It’s too much. It’s over saturating the market to the point where a new Star Wars movie is not a special event.
It also does not help that Kathleen Kennedy of Disney, is really pushing the SJW angle in the new movies. And surprise, surprise, the fans are not interested. There have been great sci-fi movies in the past with, say, a female lead; like Alien or Aliens. They were great movies not because they had a female lead, but they had a female lead who was great and an entertaining plot.
I stopped watching the Star Wars stuff in 1978. Doubtful I’ll resume.
The first one run in the late 70s was enough for me. A goofy little kids movie.
Nope. I am done being sucked into their never ending loop of Star Wars movies.
I’m always interested in seeing a Star Wars movie. And like everyone else, I had a bad feeling about this one. But the more I see and read about it, the more I think it will be an enjoyable film. Looking forward to it.
I have been a Stars Wars fan since the beginning.
A New Hope was fantastic (to my 15 year old self).
The Empire Strikes back was great, but I was upset at the cliffhanger ending.
Return of the Jedi raised questions about George Lucas. Ewoks? Really?
Then came the prequel trilogy. Kinda fun, but not really up to the quality of the original three. Jar Jar was an embarrassment. The acting was poor. There was no chemistry.
I had great hopes for the final trilogy. I hoped for the quality of the story of the early movies combined with modern special effects. Instead I got liberal SJW crap wrapped in a blanket of really good special effects.
I won’t even comment on Rogue One.
Hollyweird has lost it’s way and can’t help but preach their gospel of perversion every chance they get.
I will watch Solo when it comes out on digital download. It is worth (maybe) the $5.95 rental. Maybe.
35 year Star Wars fan here. I have always loathed the Solo character. He was a one-dimensional space cowboy who was-IMO- totally extraneous to the storyline. Had Greedo killed him in the cantina, Chewie would have done all he did. Add to that the fact that I generally hate scowling,smirking, egotistical men and Harrison Ford( and I know he isn’t in this film) in particular I wouldn’t see the Solo( or any other Disney SW film) if I was paid.
I am desperate to see zero star wars movies
I got off the Star Wars bus right after Revenge of the Sith.
Looking back, I should have gotten off the boss after the Tatooine sequence in Return of the Jedi.
No more Star Wars for me. It’s just boring.
‘Rogue One’ was great. ‘Solo’ and ‘Kenobi’ look great. But ‘Last Jedi’ was one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. They should have just stuck with the prequels. By screwing up the sequels SO badly, they are seriously harming the financial prospects for these new prequels.
Tracking for a $170 million opening weekend. So yes.
No interest either. I’ve been disinterested after The Force Awakens, and after what I heard of the Last Jedi, I definitely don’t plan to go see any other movies. And after what they did to Lando, I have no interest in seeing Solo.
Most of Disney’s run with Star Wars has also been crap, really, from most of the Marvel stories (especially the ones dealing with the aftermath of Return of the Jedi) to Star Wars Rebels to the two Battlefront games to the Aftermath Trilogy by Chuck Wendig. In fact, I can name only two stories that actually WERE good under Disney: Rogue One and the SCAR Trooper story).
Granted, I can’t say Star Wars was ever the most conservative film series out there, not after George Lucas outright admitted that he based the Rebels on the Vietcong, but Disney took it even further to the left than Lucas did in the Prequel Trilogy.
I’m taking my grandson, he really wants to see it.
A Star Wars movie without Darth Vader is a let-down for me.
I’ve heard that next summer there will be a Star Wars Darth Vader movie coming out. If so, I’ll be sure to go see it.
