The Star Wars Thread

[Dave Boy]

Yep, Disney Star Wars is f*%£ed.
Although The Force Awakens was basically a clone of Star Wars, it got everyone on board. The Last Jedi messed it up so bad there was really no coming back from that. They had no endgame and so basically Rian Johnson made a film that HE wanted to see with the blessing of Kathleen Kennedy. I want to see a Star Wars film, not have identity politics shoved down my throat. Everyone was to blame for the failure of The Last Jedi except for the film makers. This new film tries to bring it all together but the task was too great. If you really pick the new movie apart the plot holes are massive. You really cannot look too deep in to this movie.
The only shining light at Disney Star Wars now is the Mandalorian.

Let's hope obi wan is the same quality of mandalorian, movie wise maybe stick to one shots as rogue one is brilliant and easily up.there with the originals let's not mention Solo as with the problems it had in production it was No surprise how it turned out.

Poor old Abrams can't really blamed the problems lie with Disney , Kennedy and Johnson, he gave the best he could with what followed before as said in my review last jedi should of been. A move to set up this one up

Edit

They better not screw up season 7 of clone wars but a little worried after the dreadful resistance

Rey, Finn and Poe are all really boring protaganists but at least I still have my huge Kylo crush, every time he takes off that helmet and we see his sweaty face I swoon inside The opening 10 minutes were the best.

2.5 out of 5

Yep none of them are practically interesting apart from Kylo who for me had a more interesting arc than Anakin
Terrible dialogue it's not star wars without it !

Yep, you are spot on. Kennedy and Johnson, with Kennedy behind all the crap that went on behind SOLO as well.

Watched latest episode of the mandalorian , another great episode and just shows how poor the new trilogy is out how good it might of been. I love the end credits of the show probably the only show i watched the end credits

Disney better bring a physical release out with lots of extras.

This new film is down $45m on The Last Jedi's US opening and a whopping $70m on The Force Awakens.

I went to an early screening, 10am and it was empty, maybe 30-35 people in a 300 seat screen. Compare to Captain American Civil War where I went to a 10am screening also and it was completely sold out.

Was less than half full when I went and that was Friday afternoon.

Think no matter how well it turned out , last jedi would have a effect on box office.

Don't forget that most of the schools broke up on Friday, so the cinema wouldn't have been filled with noisy 'erberts!
