Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker

It’s funny, previous trailers (tlj aside) left me with goosebumps, this one just left me cold.

Damn, they really did manage to kill the magic of Star Wars.

Trailer looks good, already looks like a lot of locations though which usually means a struggle to follow what’s going on.

I hope they aren’t simply going for big WOW locations to hide the fact the story is rubbish!

To be honest it was always my thought that the story was rubbish due to them cramming as many locations in as possible.

I felt they tried to make each episode a trilogy in itself with regards to sets, which meant a whole convoluted story to weave each location into some sort of narrative.

I learnt a while ago not to watch any trailers.


I can't wait to see this, My wife and I rewatched The Force awakens and The last Jedi over the weekend...such great films

I agree actually. Sort of how Solo felt.

Was just another action film.

Force Awakens and Last Jedi great films?

I thought that. They've really cranked the music up to try to compensate...

I'm thinking either a troll or hasn't seen many films but apparently I need to give it a rest.

I can't see this ending well.

Fingers crossed The Mandalorian is good.

Watched trailer. Can't help but think the directive from Disney was 'Remake Return of the Jedi'.

I remain unimpressed. I'll watch it, hell I'll probably enjoy it, but I doubt it will be with me in 30 years like the last lot.

Just watched the trailer and yes it looks impressive, but with modern effects they always do. The locations looked interesting to be, the "ice asteroid", the star destroyer apparently coming out of the sea etc.

As I've said before I'll go and see it at the cinema, but I'm damned if I'm giving Disney any ammo for first weekend opening metrics. I'll see it over the 2nd week I imagine.

The high point for Disney was Rogue One, Force Awakens was good, yes it was a rehash of Ep4, but I can live with that. Unfortunately they threw all the good set up away with TLJ, which was st even without all the SJW crap.

Tip for Disney, if you're gonna do a trilogy, at least have the same person write the whole thing!

To be fair that isn't something that can be said of all modern blockbusters. Credit where credit is due the Disney Star Wars often look stunning and many of the shots also look like Star Wars (in a way the prequel trilogy did not). It is just a shame it is all in the service of a story that is often so empty (mainly looking at you TLJ)

Rewatched Last Jedi last night and it wasn’t as bad as my memories suggested.

The only jarring element for me was the pointlessness of Snoke.

What’s all the hate for it for?

I’m with you, I can enjoy all the films but that’s not to say they were all great.

To be honest, they’re a nostalgia trip for me and I don’t care about switching my brain off to enjoy them-folk getting upset about space bombs in a fantasy film is laughable in itself!
