Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

[epilogue]

Mark Hamill is team Joey!

Sure could use a trailer. Some star wars excitement. That would be good for me.

April first is gonna be such a nightmare

Less than 2 weeks, buddy.

I predict this will be the best sequel trilogy movie. Look forward to the trailer, and I usually don’t watch those for non SW movies.

Me too.
If it has anything like the everlasting rewatchability that TFA has we will be winning.
It’s gonna be fantastic.

And I hope it’s full on OT fan service. Not in the story. Just hints nods and production design.
Although I would be totally happy with a three part simultaneous intercut final act too



Almost there lads so excited

[epilogue]

I truly can't imagine that this movie will be better than The Last Jedi. That's a super high bar, for me. I also think it'll have a super difficult time besting Rogue One (though, I know that's not technically a ST film). At this point I just hope it's as good as TFA. If JJ can duplicate that, then he'll have won in my book.

Agreed with everything. TFA is a great movie for beng exciting and watching over again.

I hope he learns to pause at the important moments. Let a moment simmer. (Hans weird look at Rey. Give it one more beat)

I love TFA deeply but it’s break neck speed. It would have been perfect with just a little breathing room provided in those small important moments and editing choices.

Rian did it up the yazoo.

Hope JJ follows.

Rogue One is a high bar for me, and the best of the new movies. But I will be happy as long as IX is the best of the ST. I’ll be over the moon if it outcompetes R1.

You know TLJ is the opposite for us two. I’ll bet good money that I’ll prefer IX to TLJ.

You know I’m gonna make a trailer reaction video and I’m gonna cry like a baby

Break neck speed is a good way of describing it. Think IX will be the same.

Are you open to the idea of TLJ making total sense to you and loving it once you have IX to contextualise it?



*jesus I sound like a born again

Han's weird look?

I get why it had to be. It needed to be in a world trying to rebirth a beloved franchise but competing with movies like marvel.

But it could have pumped the brakes here and there just a tiny bit

I'm 100% sure that you'll like 9 more than TLJ, yes. Totally agree. But since I personally think TLJ is the second best film in the entire franchise, 9 has it's work cut out as far as I'm concerned.

[dimejinky99]

Han's weird look?

Joe. Cmon.

When in the falcon cockpit. Rey says she didn’t know there was this much green in the whole galaxy.

Han gives her this look. Full of guilt? Maybe not. Full of knowing? Very possibly.

It’s been one of the biggest talking points/battering rams since the film was released.

I hope that I will like it more, when I get the full story. There are some great scenes, and it’s a beautiful movie. But at the moment I feel its flaws are overwhelming. A shame because I love SW (prequels, sequels, comic books, cartoons and all).

Huh.... Yeah, this is literally the first I've heard about it. There wasn't anything "weird" about that look. The only thing weird about it is that there's some kind of debate (?) surrounding it. Apparently.

But if people really are talking about it like it's a big thing, then it's probably best that JJ didn't extend the look. If he'd given it more time, even more people would probably be trying to make a thing out of it.

It was and remains a thing.
That you didn’t hear about it probably speaks to the fact that we had a higher degree of shouty quality about the film (did I just say that about rm? Fuck)

But it is a theory and quite vibrant and alive out there since it happened
