The opening reminded me of one of JJ's Trek films.

I didn't hate it. Not at all

I'm indifferent to it.

Which is worse.

So Hamill is doing a Carrie tribute in a bit and I can't figure out at what time.


Any help ?

My usual mantra is 'let the moment be your guide' (that's a deep cut nobody here will ever get)
But it's served me well.

I booked a flight to see Eddie and glen yesterday in Sicily :)

I haven't booked a flight home. I'm a crazy so n so

Sorry, late to the discussion.... Did anyone talk about how Luke clearly reference Pearl Jam? "Just Breathe".

Hope I don't have to sit through rogue one first.

Maybe I'll just duck in for the last half hour and then watch a real Star Wars film after

Mon mothma tells Jyn they've recover a secret transmission from her father.



Why did they change that to show Saw Gerrara?

It makes no sense.

She's in the rebel base and she's all fuck this.

Thats the moment you show her that transmission.

Instead they swapped it out to some irrelevant scene *after she's agreed to join the mission*.

She has no impetus or reason or agency to join them at that point. In fact she acts against it.

It's a total nonsensical moment at the crux of the main characters arc.

It's stupid. Among many other stupid moments in this film.
That's my biggest problem with this film.

No.

It doesn't stand on its own. It totally depends on the oxygen of a new hope to work.


I hope to god the references and connections stop here. If there's any of it in the Han movie behind absolute necessity it'll be eyeroll time.
My mistake.

I get excited about all the posters and trailers, including the prequels. Remember this and how cool we thought it could be?

I wouldn't read too much into the Luke line at the end, but I will. :) A story about him wanting to end jedi because it perhaps would guarantee an end to the Sith seems kind of dopey and obvious and for those reasons I hope that I'm wrong with that prediction.

I just don't love it. I can't convince myself without a year of hate watching it.
Come back in a year.
