Star Wars episode 9

I’m glad I don’t get into the Star Wars universe storyline, because the Star Wars fans that I know are always pissed off at any movie release going back to Ep 1. I haven’t seen 9 yet. Fortunately when I do watch it, I won’t have any expectations of a particular storyline (or really any cohesive story at all). For me the problem will be remembering what happened in 8 so that I don’t fail to pick up on a nuance or two.

 

Well... I finally saw it. Good eye candy effects anyway. I enjoyed it enough to watch the whole thing, but if I had fallen asleep halfway through I wouldn’t have felt compelled to go back to finish it. The story was lacking, to be very kind, but I’ve never thought much of the Star Wars story anyway. My wife liked it more than I did, and she didn’t even know that Leia was Luke’s sister, and said “how did Indiana Jones get here?” when Ben had his come-to-papa moment. Maybe a total lack of knowledge of the story line is the key to enjoying a Star Wars movie.

 

I liked the characters an the actors that portrayed them in 7,8 and 9 but thats about as much as I can say about it.

What they did to Luke was a sin and don’t know why Hamill agreed to do that. Character assassination as cboath said. Ford always wanted to kill off Han so that didn’t surprise me but still sucked.

Snoke was the worst character since JarJar Binks. Emperor being alive was as Deadpool would say, lazy writing. Honestly, why even do 7,8 and 9 if you weren’t going to come up with anything new.

Rogue One by far was the best of all the new ones. The last scene alone was better than anything in 7,8 and 9.

 

This. I have nothing of substance to add really. Rogue One was a great movie. Watching in the theater in 3D...best 'dogfight' scene in cinematic history. The last scene was epic.
