Rise of Skywalker

Going to see it Christmas Day.

 

Saw it, don’t really care about it. Senile nine, glad to be done with it.

Star Wars, Empire strikes back, revenge of the Jedi, all very worthy in their original content due to the groundbreaking special effects when they came out. Of the new ones, only rogue one has anything close to a good storyline. The prequel’s, and the most recent three, or just total crap.

I still have yet to check out the Mandalorian, but I’ve heard good things.

 

Typical Disney, they kept to their agenda and added an unnecessary nasty lesbian kiss at the end during a celebration scene, for all of your children to see.

 

Erm, just thought of Jurassic Park suddenly, old dinosaurs and all...

 

I just posted a vid in the Youtube thread that summarizes the whole movie rather well and if only a couple of minutes if you don't want to waste your time/money at the theater lol.

 

I thought it was pretty good.

 

Saw it over the weekend.
It was about exactly what I expected - no more, no less.
I was entertained. Which is what it's all about, anyways.
Fun to watch & compare notes w/ 13y.o. Ronin Jr., as we come from equivalent - but far different - perspectives (I was 10 when the OG Star Wars debuted).

That's all I got.

.

 

So the good news (for Disney/Lucasfilm anyway) is that Rise of Skywalker was the #1 movie of the weekend. Getting $175.5 million domestically and $374 worldwide.

The bad news is that this is the lowest opening weekend of any SW movie of this new trilogy. The Last Jedi debuted with $220 million and The Force Awakens debuted $248 million. So it's not off to a good start comparatively speaking.

 

Honestly think people are burned out. Between a new SW-themed movie every year, multiple major video games, two new Disney theme parks, new streaming properties (Mandalorian) etc. etc. etc........

A full two years of constant griping about the sour taste that Last Jedi left in most people's mouths and early word of mouth on this film certainly didn't help.

It has no signs of slowing down, either............Mr. Mouse gonna run this mother until the wheels fall off.

 

I'm taking my boys to see it. I plan to kick back and enjoy it. Don't really give a poop what others think of it.

It's just a movie.

 

Just a movie. You sir do not understand the original three movies then. Just a movie. That’s like saying Gone with the Wind is just a movie. Well they took gone with the wind and made a sequel called “All gassed out”. And that’s what this new franchise is. They murdered our beloved Star Wars. Mickey hired a bunch of PC babies and murdered the series.

 

How? Seems like the story line followed through. Stuff exploded and the good guys won.

 

Waahh. Watch it, don't watch it, who gives a shit.

 

The movie killed Starship Troopers.

The movie killed Lord of The Rings.

Notice both of those were based on books.

 

Well first off, Solo was a feminist flick. Nuff said.

 

Il

lll watch eventually. I just won’t waste any money on them.

 

And in both cases, the books, without any remorse, murdered their respective movies?....

 

Backwards. The books were great. The movies butchered the books.

 

Oh ok.

I had that reversed convention, reversed...

 

I just saw the movie this morning. Who is F’N interested in? Rose? Rey? Or the newly introduced star that he appears to
Have something in common with?
Not trying to spoil the movie
