I will now spoil Star Wars - The Rise of Skywalker

[Dixon Carter Lee]

The Emperor is a Dark Force Ghost who battles Obi-Wan (using old unused footage of Alec Guiness), Qui-Gon, Yoda, Anakin and Luke.

I saw an early cut.

You're welcome.

 

[butters]

is there a cameo by Gok Wan?

No. But there is a callback to the midichlorians.

Star Wars was ruined long before you made this thread.

Han shot first.

Han shot first.

Tell that to Kanjiklub.

Amen.

Nobody but butt cares.

Star Wars is about as relevant as The Flintstones.

Star Wars is about as relevant as The Flintstones.

Not being into it at all, I used to snicker at the ranting Star Wars fans did about how steep of a nosedive their franchise took.

Then I watched seasons 7 and 8 of Game of Thrones, and so wished someone had spoiled them for me and saved me the prolonged heartbreak.



Best to get such disappointments over with quickly.

Commiserating with fan Communities,

I grew up a Star Wars fan and while I enjoyed SOME of the post-1980s films, the first three (and Rogue 1) will always be the best overall.

"Rogue 1" was very well done. That one is easily the best post-1980 film. As far as the franchise nosediving: "The Phantom Menace" was the most anticipated movie in probably all of cinematic history- but it was also the biggest let down in cinematic history; I enjoyed it at the time but even when I saw it I realized it wasn't nearly as good as I had hoped it would be. The others were varying degrees of good to very good- although "The Last Jedi" was just kind of okay. But I would still be interested in seeing the upcoming film- even with the spoilers.

Fucking haters.

Star Wars needs to go on hiatus for about a decade, then start over fresh with a new storyline direction. Disney is only interested in the money making potential of the franchise. Right now, Marvel is their bread and butter money maker.

The bodybuilding toyboy with the huge cock@ has one of those friends. You know, the guy who has never had a girlfriend, lived with his parents until his 30s (and still goes back at weekends), and has turned social awkwardness into an art form.

He had, until recently, never seen star wars. Why? Because he wanted to wait until he had a girlfriend and watch it for the first time together.

I kindly explained one of the two obvious flaws in his plan. He watched the film's. He was underwhelmed.

Cool kids.

The Mandalorian series is good.

Baby.

Of course he was underwhelmed. All that build up to watch a 40 year old movie that has been copied and parodied so many times since that any first viewing is going to be met with meh.

Many people spend their lives hearing how Citizen Kane is the greatest movie ever but when they first see it they're like "It was ok but sorta boring." Same with Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, et al. Even the perfect movie can't live up to decades of hype.

 

[Biggs_Darklighter]

The Mandalorian series is good.

Yes it is. Could get even better if Disney makes money off this deal and are willing to give it an even bigger budget. And if Kathleen Kennedy keeps her cunt hands off of it.

I would have gone with "12 angry men", or maybe "On the Waterfront".

All the same. Great movies, deserve their reputation. But few who see them now for the first time really get it cuz they've been seeing it copied over and over throughout the years without even knowing it.

Nobody cares ... unless you also know if Jar Jar Binks becomes the new Yoda.

Do you?

 

[dolf]

I think it's popularity is 90% nostalgia, minimum.

That’s what Lucas was set to do until Disney bought the franchise.

Ok, but that's kinda sweet though. In a sad nerd kinda way.

Here's what I don't get about this particular brand of nerd: Why don't they go to nerd-based conventions? Like literally, go to a nerd convention, put on literally any costume, and nerd chicks will come up to you and ask to fuck you because they always wanted to fuck that character. You can build a relationship from that. I've seen a shitton of people do it.

Do you?

I care... I like Star Wars... even after it's bowed down to Mickey Mouse.

I might have a problem.

I was a kid when I saw the trilogy. I'm not a kid now.
