Can't believe that cavalry charge on the Star Destroyer worked. The ship could have just tipped over slightly and dumped them off!

It took me 5 nights to finish ep ix, but alas I am done with this garbage franchise for good. What a waste of fucking time.

Old news to everyone by now, but this was not good. Even my husband, by far the bigger SW fan of the two of us, confessed to being bored. Abrams directs the whole thing like its one of those garbage SCI-Fi channel movies, while Ford, Hamill, and Williams play their scenes like they're doing walk-ons on Carson's Tonight Show. I'm even kinda rethinking my (admittedly mild) affection for the previous two entries in this trilogy now.

I want that sweet red shirt/black cloak that Palpatine had, though

I watched this last night. It was bad. So many mythos gripes but my main one is the faceless hordes of Sith acolytes (theres only two siths at a time in the previous films) who are also the greatest star destroyer builders in the history of the galaxy

Jedi powers are so extensive in this trilogy.
― COVID and the Gang (jim in vancouver), Monday, 18 May 2020 20:46 (three years ago) link
there are two sith lords at at a time, there were often a shitload of acolytes in old star wars lore
pretty sure it's not a thing now, but there was originally a race of sith, like an entire planet of em
the thing that bugged me was that they decided instead of figuring out what the giant coliseum of sith would look like, they just put vague cloaks everywhere
― mh, Monday, 18 May 2020 20:47 (three years ago) link
Yeah I mean the ancient sith lore stuff is fine i guess but where did the emperor rustle up these multitudes? he didnt have any sith acolytes when he was emperor of the galaxy as far as we know

he had those three or four creepy silent dudes behind him in return of the jedi

Always got strong Perry Farrell vibes from that guy on the right.

one of the funniest things about Star Wars lore is that costume and set designers would come up with all kinds of cool stuff, and at some point someone would want to make a trading card or short story about a background character
if George Lucas was around, they'd ask him. the answers would depend on how sleep-deprived he was
anything that's simple like "that's Bob, he drives a y-wing" would be when he was tired, but if he had a good night's rest, it'd be "yes that's Ookano Labooga, he carves flutes out of petrified Lotharian swampweasels"

There are so many stupid plot holes and decisions in this entire trilogy, but I still think (with a few def plodding twists in each of the three) they are 10x more fun than anything in Eps I-III. That's really all I ask, a few moments where my inner 8 year-old absolutely geeks out on something like the shot of all those Sith Star Destroyers amassed. Does it become absolutely stupid if I stop to consider where these are all coming from, how they are staffed and built? Absolutely. But they look menacing and awesome.
Not going to really defend these movies, because I am well aware of the many flaws and don't begrudge others a bit for disliking them. Having been able to watch these with, and through the eyes of, my son probably makes me a lot kinder than I might otherwise have been.

I need to see this again. It was fun the first time, but seeing how hated it is makes me doubt my own senses.

it's big and dumb and doesn't do much with characters that should have had more going on
but, there are a lot of beautifully constructed scenes where people do odd things!
