I spoiled myself rotten and went into it with my expectations in the toilet, and I think that helped me come away with it ultimately being "ok." Some fun setpieces. Some novel usese of The Force, which I am all for. I hate the breed of nerd who thinks that the faux eastern mysticism space magic has to have hard and fast rules like a tabletop RPG, memorizing exactly the right spells using the rules in the book. Let it do crazy poo poo, surprise us. It's magic; don't make it predictable "oh well there's Force Push and that's clearly a Force Choke with the extra talents and a lot of pips rolled on the force dice." Mostly going in knowing Sheev was in it I wanted him to do a bunch of creepy evil space wizard poo poo, and he got to do just that. Kelly Marie Tran got done dirty. They listened to the backlash and her role is so perfunctory. "I'd love to go on the mission Finn, but General Leia needs me to stay behind and do math." "Oh, here's an incidental line of exposition." "I am also here, in this fight, firing my laser gun. Look I'm even centered in the frame and poo poo." LOL at how many incidental and big things were a direct rebuke to VII. "Should we try just Holdo Maneuvering the poo poo out of the devil wedges?" "Uh, that was a fluke" "You are the children of nobodies, but your GRAMPA..." I had a couple friends re-watching I-VIII in preparation and they've been using me as their personal wookieepedia over messenger. One of the things I delighted in pointing out is how much symbolic castration occurs in these movies, and I was wanting to vault over my seats to holler at one of them like a madman "see, see how deep the theme runs?!" when Poe gave the order to start blowing the dicks off the evil triangles. Mostly thought I am glad that textually, canonically... sheev fucks.

It hadn’t occurred to me until earlier but the absolute most blatant gently caress you to Rian was the very first thing Luke did on appearing was catching the lightsaber and saying ‘this deserves to be treated with respect’

Return is insanely corny throughout, and I haven't seen it in years so I might misremember, but every scene with Luke and Vader after he turns himself in, up to and including the final fight in Palpatines chamber, is real good and a satisfying completion of the Skywalker family drama

Yeah the weaknesses of RotJ are primarily that Ford doesnt give a gently caress and is putting in zero effort because he's sick of Star Wars, and Fisher is completely blasted on cocaine in like 99% of her scenes. Also neither is given much to do and so 2/3rds of the iconic main cast are basically nothing in the movie. Once Luke gets to the actual plot things get good.

The first act at Jabbas palace is just a nice little detour into a quirky corner of the universe without much bearing on the plot, but it has decent stakes for our little group of main characters so it works

wanted: tens of millions of people to gently caress off outside the known galaxy for 30 years to be in my rad sith navy that's just gonna kind of mill around for decades until my byzantine plots come to a head not clear how i'm going to keep you all fed for an entire generation, given the planet is desolate spooky rock place full of evil temples with zero arable land and the sector its in is full of navigational hazards that would make that scale of logistics and resupply impossible to do openly, let alone in secret. but you will get cool red uniforms and i apparently have an arbitrary number of evil wedges with big dick lasers you can fly around in.

Sith troopers had literally no differences from regular white troopers other than the color. Also I think Finn shoots a bunch of troopers in the back or something. So much for his arc. Also, knights of ren is a kpop band.

They were gonna help take out the usual end battle load bearing mcmuffin after being landed near it on the ground but then it was on a star destroyer so they landed on it and raced across the deck for reasons no one answered the call when the FO fleet was broken at Crait but they managed to rally a flotilla of privateers to get through a navigational hellmaze to take on a million billion death star destroyers lead by space satan

I just sat through star wars for the fourth time with all my friends and have decided after repeated viewings and payings that i do not like this movie. it is like a trip up j j abrams rear end and through his digestive system in reverse. please watch my two hour-long youtube videos about how much i hate it (click here for spoilers and here for spoiler free) you should definitely see this movie just to see for yourself

I know the movie gets poo poo on everywhere, but I feel like most of its issues are goofy 80s cheese which doesn't really age well by today's standards. Plus the last third of the film with Luke, Vader, and Palpatine squaring off is as excellent as the best stuff in ANH and ESB. There's literally nothing 1/1000th as iconic and great as the finale with Vader and Luke owning the Emperor together in RoS.

i was the only person in the theater to laugh when rey blew up the transport. the force wrestling is silly to begin with, but then they have kylos reaction to it, with perfect comedic timing. it ruined what was supposed to be a tragic scene for me

The only bad thing about ROTJ was the stupid overblown song and dance number they added into the special edition. If they just kept original funky disco number in the original version it would have been fine. But that ridiculous over the top cgi cringe fest loud song just completely takes me out of the movie. I think they replaced the original song because it sounded dated in the 90s, but ironically, the 1983 song sounds way less dated today than the 1997 poo poo they replaced it with.

Yeah the big problem with Leia and Han is their arcs are wrapped up like a third of the way through the movie so there's no actual character growth or drama happening while they're blowing up the shield generator, it's just perfunctory Things Happening. Like there's honestly probably more character poo poo going on with Lando during the assault than either of two of the three leads The throne room scenes by contrast are loving wonderful and the reason I will fistfight everyone who shits on Jedi

So I kind of loved the movie, but it was insanely stupid. I was fairly critical of it early on, and found so much of the dumb poo poo comical that at some point my brain snapped and I wound up just rolling with it and loved it. gently caress yeah, there's a billion death stars now, oh hell yes Rey is a Palpatine, gently caress it, sure!! Like I cynicismed so hard that I rolled over from negative back into positive. It's definitely not how I wanted the movie to be, or how I wanted it to end, but once I accepted that it was just going batshit crazy I stopped caring and enjoyed going along for the ride. Like, I get why everyone hates it, and I don't blame them for it at all, but for some reason my brain loves it for all those reasons. It's not quite the same as enjoying something like The Room, I can't quite explain it. I think this movie broke me.

Luke chucking his lightsaber at the very start was awesome and my favorite part of TLJ. He chucks his green one away in Jedi in the Emperor's throne room before he says I am a Jedi, like my father before me. Like he was telling Rey "having this isn't what makes someone a Jedi". But I guess he just went over and picked it up after Monster Mash fell down the hole.

movie stinks. theres no mystery to these movies now trilogy should of been about the jedi academy with adam driver and the girl as pupils of luke skywalker. with secret jedi dorm room cuddles after dark etc. dancing doonas and glowing shafts all of these actors were wasted on these movies. ol boyega's lines were made up of saying it once, then repeating it again, but shouting it im tired of star war

Yeah throwing away the lightsaber was one of the GOOD moments. Dorks who say it was bad are bad in the brain and just wanted more masturbatory autistic focus on Star Wars iconography The lightsaber is just a tool, it's not what defines a Jedi. Luke instantly showing this by disregarding Reys reverence for it was awesome. "Do you think THIS is what it's all about? You idiot, you absolute moron"

The weird thing with it is the way it's done, not that it happens. It's like, is this supposed to be a joke? It seems so, but that kind of makes the parallels to RotJ even weirder to me. Really, Luke tossing away the lightsaber is sort of the pivotal moment of the movie, it's the moment when Luke truly becomes a Jedi and rejects aggression and hatred. In TLJ it seems like it's played for laughs. We also flashback to him having his green lightsaber when he's going to kill Kylo, so I guess he just picked it up off screen before dragging his mortally wounded father away so I guess that moment in RotJ didn't really mean much.

This trilogy didn't do enough to justify it's existence. Like beans in chili, or corn in chili. At least we have Babu Frik: the best character introduced by these movies. I would die for him.
