I'm just going to consider TLJ to have ended right where Kylo asked Rey to join him, about 1h45m in. As far as I am concerned, the last 45 minutes of TLJ do not exist.

I think that's what most people (myself included) who didn't like TLJ wanted. And if the argument is that Rey shouldn't take Kylo's hand because he isn't actually sincere about things, you write it so Kylo is sincere.

But instead it's Empire vs Rebels, from now until the end of time.

I wonder if Rian Johnson will get his attempt at a trilogy back and if so, whether it will start at that literal moment I described.

It still probably wouldn't be very good, but hey, it's something.

In any case, I highly doubt we're going to see any mainline Star Wars movies again after this one. Good bye, Star Wars. You sucked for a large portion of your run.

The question at this point is whether there will be another episode in 2 years or 3. They will dial back to 3 if cautious or revert to 2 if confident. Thus spake the disney knower

I’d say they’ll crunch the numbers enough to realize that if Star Wars takes a break people will miss it again. I’d say 5 years for a new main trilogy movie. Heavy focus on the Disney+ stuff until then.

Seeing Star Wars has definitely become less of an event since there’s been one coming out annually from 2015 on. Seeing the difference in opening night theatrics from TFA -> Solo was nuts. Will be curious how it is when I go next week.

There is a movie tentatively scheduled for 2022 on the master Disney release schedule

I’m wondering if that gets pushed back since unless Rian Johnson is secretly working on his trilogy, nothing is in production

I really do think the casino weapons dealer talk about both sides was supoosed to tie into.the kylo/Rey joining forces to make a new system not based on forever war. But couldn't have it happen

I remember when I first saw it, the movie was losing me and then I started to get excited again thinking that something like this is exactly what was going to happen. I was dumbfounded at where the movie went instead. Although, my sense isn't that Johnson wanted to go that way and Disney wouldn't allow it. I don't think anyone's ideas for the film ever reached that level of coherence to begin with. I think it's just that the film wants to gesture at wokeness while avoiding actual politics.

He also asked for Luke to not be floating rocks.
That makes sense, though. "Huh, a spaceship just landed. Looked and sounded like the Millennium Falcon. R2 must have woken up and given someone the last piece of the map to find me. Should I see who it is? Nah, I'll just keep on doing Force Practice 101." :geno:

Rey's parents, Snoke's identity etc.

I'm actually fine with both those, but it seems that JJ is winding them back with ep.9 so lol

LOL, those are my favorite parts about TLJ, along with Crazy Hermit Luke and Kylo Rey.

They just needed something better to do with the rest of the characters than Holdo's Funtime Slowmo Chase. Basically everything that didn't involve Kylo or Rey was messy and forgettable (which oddly enough is the opposite of my ESB opinion, where I thought Luke's Swamp Adventures were okay but I was always much more captivated by the asteroid chase and Cloud City).

I dunno, I feel like mainline Star Wars movies just aren't a great framework for a story about the 1% war profiteering.

I have no attachment to OT Luke so I found no issues with Luke in TLJ. I like the idea of somebody who was on top, failed at something, and withdrew because that failure made a bunch of people suffer. Cuz that tracks given what we know.

I don’t understand why people are so mad about Luke.
