finally caught 9. Best of the new three. Felt like the first trilogy. And finally, somebody wrote the fuck out of the story to not only twist a lot of loose change together but to create an adequate ending to an impossible cultural icon.
plenty of "fuck yeah" moments. cried a couple of times. it and rogue one are the only worthy successors to the first three. don't believe all the "nay" it was a fun movie and they did a good job.
- Had the same feels dude. Glad you had a good time. Now there are two of us!robthelad
- agreed. seems we're in the minority though.inteliboy
- feel like I'm living in a bizarro world where super hero films are boring tripe and Star Wars still is nerdy fun - but the internet tells me the opposite.inteliboy
- I'm shocked anyone would rank this the highest of the three. The people who generally like it talk about how fun it was.CyBrainX
- ...as if the bar was set at Fast and FuriousCyBrainX
- The bar was set at New Hope which was corny as fuck and had awful fight scenes and dialog. But OKAYmonospaced

Why is there no IX thread? Odd.

- Yeah, the franchise jumped the shark after VIII. There wasn't much point.MondoMorphic

Lol. I hope these Collider Deepfakes of George Lucas never end.

Harrison: “George, I don’t think so.”
George: “I’ll give you $40 million”.

I liked this new Star Wars movie. Is pretty fun and has some epic star warsy moments.
Surprised by all the haters. This new one was dealt a bad hand and pulled off the impossible imo (just). Don't think the problem is this film - it's the fact that the one before completely fucked the whole trilogy over by having zero character development, no chemistry between characters, killing off the main villain, killing the main Skywalker, ending with zero cliffhangers and then sadly having Carrie Fisher pass away. Yikes. Weirdly there's a bunch of critics I read and listen to defend the shit out of that Last Jedi movie. Boggles my mind.
- Superman vs Batman writer on Rise of Skywalker. Need I say more? The first half of the movie is utter crap. Worse than Last Jedi imo.NBQ00
- almost nobody care what kind of hand they've been dealt. they just don't like the movie.pango
- Oh well. Got a bad wrap imo. Kinda loved a lot of it. But yeah, last Jedi hasn't aged well at all - is trash.inteliboy
- I really loved it. No joke. Had a great time watching it. Last film is better cos of this one.robthelad
- @inteliboy +1Krassy
- Ya, if Lea died in the last star wars, why was she alive in this?Hayoth

Also did anyone else find Lando’s hitting on that black woman at the end creepy? “Where you from?”
- I think he's the dadHayoth
- Lando was always creepy. Remember "What do we have here...?" to Leia?CyBrainX
- Yeah, Remember when he got a woman drunk on malt liquor and said "it works every time!"fooler
- Also, lando never carried a blaster, yet it looked like he had one in his pocket. Strange!futurefood

All I can say is fuck Rian Johnson and fuck Disney.
You had one job < facepalm >
As a singular film, RoS is okay. As a trilogy, fucking crap.
This review nails it.- Blame Kathy Kennedy who gave Rian Johnson the opportunity to fuck it up. But at least there were some more purple haired women in it.NBQ00
- To be fair a lot of good hard work went into these things, from a technical and visual standpoint you can’t help but love the worlds they create._niko
- So it’s a shame that they fall apart with something as fundamental as the story. Story should be king everything else should play a supporting role. It’s the..._niko
- Reason we’re still watching Greek dramas 2500 years later, or still flocking to see works by Shakespeare - the amazing and timeless stories._niko
- lol @ watching greek dramas 2500 years later and flocking to see shakespeare. omglolmantrakid
- @mantrakid you do realize greek theatre is essentially responsible for the form of modern story telling. Genre, narrative, structure, themes, etc.ETM

I came out from the movies like this:
- What the fuck I just paid for?
- Loved the guy who shouted loud YOU FUCKING BITCH at the result of Rajs (yeah she is dumb as an indian goatherd) first wandering off.
- Lots people teleportation and background changes without changing time or the scene.
- Some of the characters don't belong there. Like at the beginning on the millennium falcon there is this alien in the background during the conversation what dominates the scene.
- Only fucking space animals can define an alien planet?annoying garbage if you have an eye for detail.

- It’s all Jar Jar Abrams faultNBQ00

Also whats with C-3PO and his red arm? what happened to his regular arm..
does this also mean there are red protocol droids?
- All marketing. How do you make a new C-3PO figure people want to buy if he doesn't have something new or different.ETM
- C3 droids come in all kinds of flavours - have you even watched all the films? :)fadein11
- E chuta!ETM
- how rude.Al_dizzle
- there's a theory on how it happened... http://cdn.meme.am/i…kona
- Did you notice he had a gold one in the latter part of the movie?CyBrainX

Spoiler but can someone bennsplain to me why the massive planet killing fleet just stood there and got destroyed instead of warp jumping away? They were all armed and ready to go why not complete their mission?
- they explain that due to gravitation anomalies the ships didnt know which way was up hence the need for beaconstrooperbill
- By the time they were explaining one thing I was still trying to figure out the last nonsensical thing they were trying to slide past us and missed this lol_niko
- Can develop Death Star capabilities for every ship, can’t develop technology to deal with gravitational anomaly’sautoflavour
- Also, why wait.. would you be implementing the final order as soon as you are good to go?autoflavour
- But the rebels had no issues with the same gravitational anomalies and were able to light speed jump in no problem?_niko
- I have enjoyed seeing all the Disney releases the second time more. They go through explanations so fast it becomes hard to follow and a little dumb.CyBrainX
- A second and third viewing lets you take it in a little more.CyBrainX

The first hour I was following along happily. Then it got real fan service-y and campy in the latter half and I could barely stand it. Many eye rolls were had. Then I want home and had the itch so I decided to start a rewatch. Haven’t seen Episode 1 since the theatre days. My god, what a total abomination from start to finish. Only saving grace is the best lightsaber battle of all time. It made Episode 9 look decent.
Then I just rewatched Mandalorian instead. Great show. The movie format just doesn’t work for me these days.
- Ep. 1 is still the worst movie by far, with the most offensive scenes. Jar Jar, the Gungan, the 20 minute pod race. I agree about the fight scene though.CyBrainX
