Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

Now THIS is bad review pod racing.

Posted for perspective.

It's cool to not like SW now and for good reasons. Disney usurped a beloved property, thinking they could purchase nostalgia and spoon feed it to the masses. Well, "can't buy me love". There's no good or original idea in these films. Just recycled shit.

[tree_]

It's a ridiculous idea, really. Imagine if Disney chose to purchase, say, Pulp Fiction from Tarantino and make sequels. What would those movies look like? At that point, it's not Pulp Fiction anymore and this isn't SW anymore.

Disney already owns Pulp Fiction though?

But he's not even a developed character. This could have been something interesting.

-The decision to end the Jedi order
-A female force user as the lead
-Exploration of the gray area of Force users on film
-A more diverse cast in general

Wasn't the Jedi order pretty much over with anyway? By the end of the OT, there was only Luke, right? Now there's only Rey? What's the difference?
A female lead is nothing new or original. There have been females using the force in the prequels.
I don't see how gray area of force using is anything special or interesting in these movies.
Diversity in cast is cool, but it's nothing new in movies in general these days.

I wasn't sure if that's a joke he was trying to make but yeah

I honestly didn't even realize this. Well, at least they're not making sequels/prequels.

[bune]

part of that is because it's not a franchise, Star Wars is. if there was a large enough contingent of fans asking for 'what's actually in the briefcase' then you'd see that prequel.

- Luke made a decision to end the order rather than someone else destroying it.
- Name two. And not a lead though. This is a very big thing for the series.
- That is your opinion.
- It is for the series. It's making these movies for the a new generation of people.

But this new trilogy doesn't answer any burning questions anyone needed answers to. What happened with Luke, Leia, and Han in their old age turned out to not be interesting, so who cares?

I find their older selves very interesting. Your stating your opinions as facts.

Did you feel the same way about the Prequels with Lucas making them? We knew most of the major story beats there too.

He ultimately didn't, though.
For the series, sure. But there are other movies with plenty of interesting female characters. SW is doing nothing new.
It is. I don't find these movies the least bit interesting.
Why does this series matter, though? There are plenty of other, more interesting movies.

All we have is subjective opinion. I'm telling you why I can't enjoy these movies. The prequels are steaming piles of garbage.

Why does any movie exist? How many are released now that are truly original?
