Star Wars

[theGinsue]

What I hated about Rogue One was that "it's not a 'Star Wars' movie, it's a 'Star Wars Story' ". Because of this they didn't start the movie with the powerful Star Wars opening music or the blast of "Star Wars" hitting the screen...the movie just rolled into the content. I felt cheated.

So, we're eight movies in. Everything is a retread of some other movie or element.

The milking scene? Did I just see pron?

If anyone is taking their younglings... It's a lot of a tense violence/battle scenes (which makes it good!). There is only one scene of graphic violence I'm worried about...

Overall I think they did a good job. Lots of "Disney" going on in some places but my expectations have been lowered over the years. If you go just wanting to have fun and casually see the story move along, it's worth the price of admission.

I was a fan of the first three as a kid. (When I say first three I mean 1977, 1980, and 1983) I didn’t watch the next three but saw brief parts of each when my kid was watching them. They looked horrible. When the force awakens came out I was kind of excited about it because it sort of came after the original three movies which I enjoyed. I was sadly disappointed. It was pretty much a bad rehash of the plot from the original film. Took a chance on Rogue One and really thought it was a good show. I’m hoping this one that just came out isn’t as disappointing as the force awakens.

I watched it last night. I wasn't as disappointed as 7. But I was disappointed. This one has hints of 5&6. JJ Abrams really wants to make 4-6 his way and is doing it. Pretty similar.

... and that is all I needed to hear. Abrams did the same thing with his Star Trek films. A lot of fans fantasize about doing the same -- the difference is that Abrams isn't even a fan, he's just a well-connected director/producer with an ego. I didn't like the Abramsverse in Star Trek or in Episode 7 so guess I'll pass on Episode 8.

8 was much better than 7 but the story line sucked. He brought up a lot of questions in 7 that were never answered

I won’t touch any of the new stuff since Disney’s involved. I got through about 15 mins of the last one and turned it off.

[wctriumph]

It'll be out on Blue Ray by the end of Feb so I'll wait to see it on my own TV. So far, I have seen them all at the theater and the original Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back were the only two good ones.

Saw it tonight. I need more time to process it.

Meh, I'll wait for the torrents.
