Don't care about plot, acting, none of it. It's Star Wars. The trailer gave me goosebumps and I'm going to see it the first night I can.

It's quite funny they're banging on about the end of a saga when they're already busy writing a new trilogy....
Yep. The saga will end but the story lives on forever, in the shops, theme parks, spin offs, computer games and new trilogy.

Rogue One is pretty good though, far better than everything else that’s come out since the original trilogy, and the only one that is a true testament to them. I would in fact put it above Return of the Jedi on my list.
It cleverly solved the major plot hole from A New Hope, linked its ending with the beginning of ANH as seamlessly as any prequel has ever managed, and gifted us with the single most satisfying and mind blowing scene in the entire SW franchise- worth the admission price alone.
It also absolutely nailed down the look and feel of the original trilogy, and got the degree of CGI just right. The Scarif space battle was visually stunning and far more realistic and pleasing than all the new films managed- not to mention the soul-destroying prequel trilogy.

Wrong and Unstable
I quite liked the prequels in all honesty, thought they were better than the new films at least.

)

booked tickets for me and the boy for 27/12 (not that much of a fan to watch on release date).
If it's like the previous installment, it's gonna be shite.

Go stick your head in a pig
I'm honestly not sure if I can be bothered to see this one.
Virtual Blue
ready
i have a feeling that i bought the ticket because of the hype and not content.
i thought i saw the light when i decided not to watch Solo
This is a Disney bastardisation ffs.

One thing about the sequel trilogy is I appreciate the prequals a lot more now.
I have a not exactly original goldilocks theory about Star Wars.
Prequal trilogy - Too much Lucas
Sequel trilogy - Not enough Lucas
Original trilogy - Just enough Lucas

Lots of bad in that film but it's watchable for Childish Gambino as Lando IMO.

It’s kind of the world’s biggest open secret by now, but II’ll slap spoiler tags on anyway. For those interested in discussing the identity of the villain heard in the trailer (possible further spoilers based on speculation possible, obviously):
So how the fuck will they explain Palpatin’s presence? is he a (Dark side of the) Force ghost? Or did his spirit/ conscience get preserved in the Death Star’s reactor module?

Good theory indeed.
The one positive about not enough Lucas in the sequel trilogy is that given what certain planet one of the locations in this last film is likely to be, hopefully there will be no fucking

I've never had a probelem with Ewoks myself. But understand why some people do.Good theory indeed.

Got tickets for 19th. I thought I seen somewhere that they’re still filming this? If this turns out to be edited to bits I’ll be seriously pissed off. Trying to shoe horn Carrie Fisher in there using footage from The Force Awakens screams of ‘bad idea’ in my opinion.
I have a bad feeling we may have peaked with the first film of this trilogy.

Even though they were soppy and annoying, I could have put up with their presence in ROTJ if it’d been limited to light/ comic relief, and even to have played a minor part in the Rebel team’s success in bringing down the shield. Their stealing of the speeder bikes to draw the stormtroopers away from the gate was a perfectly acceptable role.
But a bunch of teddy bears armed with nothing more than sticks and stones defeating in a battle a heavily armed elite Stormtrooper garrison (not just standard Stormtroopers but elite, as per the Emperor’s words) was just beyond preposterous even for a Star Wars film. Suspension of disbelief only stretches that much, and it ruined the second half of that film and brought down my overall rating of it. Just think how much better the film would have been without them in it, or at least a far shorter and more limited role.
if I were a Stormtrooper I would ask to serve in a t shirt and shorts, given that the armour they’re provided with is not only useless against any blaster fire, but doesn’t even protect against three-foot furry creatures throwing pointy sticks at you
