If Palpatine is Rey's grandpa and Anakin's sort-of father that makes Rey and Kylo some sort of cousins and I'm not sure Star Wars as a franchise is ready for incestuous main characters.

There's a big one that's like three movies long.

Force Awakens when Rey touches Luke’s lightsaber and trips out. Which is seemingly going to be a loose end.

I’m gonna guess that RLM’s review of the movie itself will be “it’s fine”, and will roll their eyes at the twists and stuff and the movie won’t be any more meaningful past that. The movie sounds like it’s gonna be very unintelligent, and just straightforward action and surprises n poo poo. That’s all it really needs to be, and as a Disney action flick it’ll be the same as usual, but oh man are some of the decisions made in the plot gonna puss a lot of people off.

There's absolutely going to be negative backlash just because it's the Sequel Trilogy, or Disney, or SJWs, or any other flimsy excuse to hate on something just for the sake of making a scene and getting views

Take any complaints with a Crait of salt and judge it for yourself first

Oh, I'm still probably going to go see it myself, and all I really need is action and ship battles and I'm happy. I'm not under the delusion that this needs to be a cinematic masterpiece to be worth it, it's gonna be cheesy and superficial and that's perfectly fine for Star Wars.

But I'm also looking forward to seeing a whole bunch of people get reaaaaal mad, and that is going to be just entertaining as the movie. One of the biggest reasons I'm considering going in person is so I can see people's reactions at the end.

Also, I said widespread backlash. It can't just be some alt-right assholes on the internet.

It's funny how we had six films of "Getting angry fucks you up and makes you an evil sorcerer". So they chose to headline the new trilogy with a character whose only real emotion is being pissed off and have her never suffer any blowback for this. Indeed she seems to just get rewarded for it.

She’s sad sometimes! And confused, and excited, and disappointed, and joke-y too. She seems fine, actually.

With all the leaks I'm really surprised Disney hasn't put out some statement about how this is the end of the trilogy and you should not under any circumstances spoil the movie because it would completely ruin the movie for everyone.

Not that I want that to happen because it was embarrassing as hell when they did that for Endgame, but it feels a bit telling that for their other big concluding movie this year they come off as not really giving a gently caress?

People were satisfied with the build up to Endgame even if the finale was a bit of a wet balloon. They were salivating and ready for any conclusion.

I think with SW, they already know this trilogy is probably a creative disaster. It may even need an additional trilogy to wrap itself up. Best to just rip off the bandaid and keep pointing at The Mandalorian and other stuff. The Mandalorian is pretty much an effortlessly perfect Star Wars OT sequel.

I'm really, really liking Rebels so far too. Probably because its not set in the PT era, which I'm kinda ehhhhh about. Clone Wars is...just ok. The humorous and light tone of Rebels fits the universe better, but I can see why it pissed people right the gently caress off Immediately. The cowards should make the new trilogy resolve the Rebels ending cliffhanger.

What the gently caress is your metric for a success, a mass orgy outside every theater in the world?

At least we won't have to endure another finale that's a giant pile of CG punchmans in a featureless CG wasteland, so there's that. Woohoo!

The Fortnite Star Wars event with the new clip is featured on Twitch.tv

E: Finn, Rey, Poe and the droids land on a first order ship with some new vessel I haven't seen before. They take out the guards in the dock then Rey mind tricks a couple storm troopers in a hallway.

As the event ended in game a number of Star Destroyers and Tie Fighters appeared with the presenters escaping in the Millennium Falcon. Everything went dark and Palpatine had a speech about how the Day of the Sith had arrived.

I think Looper is a dumb movie as well and I think Rian just has trouble with writing sci fi in general. That being said, one of my friends recommended I go see Knives Out. He went in expecting to hate it and said it was quite excellent.

From a ways back, but Looper has the main issue TLJ does, where it spends an entire film establishing something, then just changing everything in the last 3rd. In Looper's case, causality and inevitability being a curse that rules everything, then, nope.

So Abrams asked Lucasfilm if there is any way for them to re-release the theatrical cuts of the OT in a newer format (their last release was a 1995 VHS), and he was told they can't, but was not given a reason.

According to comments on Twitter (so take it with a Crait of salt) Disney can't distribute the theatrical cuts because that was part of the sale deal Lucas signed with them
