In fairness, the Expanded Universe in Star Wars also featured a return of Palpatine. He could transfer his soul to clones. Luke with the help of Leia slices him up real good though and puts an end to that.
That idiotic Star Wars crap should have ended 30 years ago.
My theory about the whole Star Wars "arc"...making it up as they went along.
Hello Mary Sue
Good-bye heart
The Last Jedi did everything in its power to bury Luke Skywalker as a character, while Rise it seems like buries the entire point of Return, which was the defeat of the Emperor and the redemption of Anakin. Too bad. George handed it over to the wrong people.
The Wokefest that was Episode 8 was the weakest of the bunch, without question. But I saw episode 9 today, and it was a rollicking good story. I cannot say how the politics-is-everything crowd will react, but as a genuine Star Wars fan I enjoyed it,
I think in today’s political climate people tend to toxically over-interpret each episode. Star Wars fans should relax; episode 9 was a worthy end to a nice story.
Tired of girl heroes. That is so passe. I’m also tired of female actresses with the viewpoints that they have especially hatred for president Trump.
The demise began with the ewoks in the second half of sw vi.
The prequels sucked due to incredibly montonic, unemotional and robotic acting. And Jar Jar, or ewoks ii.
The final three sucked because of Mary Sue and how they basically gave the finger to both the fan base that supported them from the beginning, and the original actors characters themselves. Leia gets Mary Sue powers she never had before. Then the finalcvirtue sognal with the lesbian kiss at tge end, the largest FU. they can’t just not pull this libtard virtue signalling shiite.
They didn’t read the story they didn’t see the movies they just made up something that they thought was right
Plus 7-9 just had the worst scripts. horrible scripts.
They try to suck and mirror 4-6 but with twists and ‘diversity’ but the scripts are just awful.
Plus handing over a franchise to people who don’t know it and don’t care about it isn’t a good idea, no matter what the franchise is.
The Force Awakens could have been the highest grossing movie of the century.
But with all of that money, the blithering idiots couldn’t even put the original cast on-screen at the same time!
When Rian Johnson had Luke Skywalker non-chalantly toss his light sabre over his shoulder into the ocean in the very first scene of The Last Jedi is when I had realized that Johnson was giving a big FU to the whole franchise. What amazed me was that Disney let Rian Johnson wreck the franchise so thoroughly that there was nothing left going forward, where Kylo and General Hux were so laughable as antagonists that it left JJ Abrams screwed for the third film.
I had read that Abrams had valiantly tried to undo the damage caused by TLJ but it’s too late for me. I’m done with the franchise.
Every franchise I’ve seen that Abrams has touched - Star Wars, Star Trek, his own Cloverfield movies - left me feeling kind of cheated at the end. Some of his other work on TV (Fringe, Lost) was just something that didn’t grab my attention in a straightforward way, at least enough to hold my interest over the long haul. It’s been enough to dissuade me from investigating other work he’s done.
Star Wars II (1980) ruined Star Wars forever by turning the story into a soap opera.
This was the beginning of the Palpatine Saga no one wanted at all.
Thanks.
Not going to watch this one.
It was nice of Disney plus to put them all up for streaming at a low, low price. I got to refresh myself on why all the movies after 3 sucked wind.
So Luke went from hero to anti-hero.
So she kills her granddad... and then takes his place as the new ultimate evil?
I enjoyed it
A little busy, but satisfying
“Star Wars might be ruined...”
But only if you watch this one, right?
