    John reacted to Fancyarcher in Star Wars IX The Rise of Skywalker (JJ Abrams 2019)   
    I enjoyed this, probably more then most, but I still had a lot of issues, particularly with how they handled The Last Jedi stuff. I also thought that Palpatine's return thematically didn't make as much sense as it could have. I will say that the last scene got to me, it helps that most of the performances were pretty good, and John Williams's score was fantastic as ever, but it's clear that they should have had properly plotted out this trilogy from the start. In the long run, it really felt all disconnected.

    Yikes!
    If that isn't an overreaction, I don't know what is.
     
    You're kind-of reinforcing my point though.
    So I suppose thanks are in order...?

    IDK - I grew up with a burping sarlaac and came of age with Jar Jar stepping in Eopie crap.  The TLJ humor works much better for me.

    Wait, was the Chewie porg scene really detested by people? Man.  Do you guys feel like it was a massive political statement or something?  I don't even think Rian Johnson is a vegetarian.  To me, it was just a gag that read like Chewie had his dinner ruined.

    Yep, nothing embodies the spirit of Superman better than a montage of a sullen alien “rescuing” people while brooding music plays and he looks miserable while doing so. 
     
    Thanks Snyder!

    I just find it bizarre that some people's entire movie experiences hinge on the unsullied element of surprise for absolutely every facet of the film itself, as if that 1980 ESB reveal will ever be replicated at any level.

    Agreed.
     
    This thread feels like a veiled slight on the trilogy, and other films that are widely liked on this board (Hobbit movies, Star Wars prequels).

    ROTK represents the end of an era, for film music. Imo.

    You talk about the Baby Yoda show?  He will die in the Jedi Academy Jedi Massacre, by the hands of Ren Knights. What do you expect?
     
    This series is ridiculous.
     
    EDIT: Hello @Holko, by the way.  I hope you have fun on your Discord Channel!

    Reading a wiki page is not the same as watching the film. You’ve been going on these grand rants and tangents about the film and trilogy as a whole when you haven’t even seen TROS yet. 
     
    You did the same thing in the Mandalorian channel on the Discord.
