I wonder how many people walked out of it at the end and , like me, thought “right that’s it. gently caress Star Wars. I’m done. “

“They fly now?” “They fly now??!!?” “They fly now…” still lives rent-free in my brain.

Just such a shallow attempt at Marvel-style quips, and you can tell whoever wrote that thought it was gonna be the funniest thing ever.

John Boyega was pissed at that line because: "They've been doing that poo poo since the Clone Wars".

Disney took a Star Wars superfan and by the end of three films his attitude was: "You ain't gonna Disney Plus me!"

This was me during Force Awakens and Last Jedi marathon I went to when Last Jedi dropped. And so far, I stand by that decision.

Colin Tevorrow's (sp but I'm not looking it up) ideas for the movie seemed really cool and unique, which is why Disney said "lol hell no JJ you're doing this again"

Rise of Skywalker was like an anthology movie, but instead of a collection of three or four unconnected 30 to 45 minute stories, its 10 second stories for 2.5 hours.

God this is a perfect summation of the movie

It didn't at all feel like Star Wars and now I know why

Carrie Fisher's death really just scrambled that movie. Not blaming her but they should have been able to pivot rather than shoehorn her in

I am a hog who laps up slop from the star wars content trough and even I have seen that movie exactly one (1) time.

I went in spoiled rotten from leaks and has my expectations set at "at least if Palpatine is back for narratively and thematically bankrupt reasons McDermott will be chewing scenery and having fun, but that was not enough.

Same. I tried to watch again when it came out on Blu-ray but fell asleep and never bothered again.

When I saw Rise of Skywalker, about 5 minutes in I had to rewind and start over assuming I must’ve missed a bunch of stuff.

I didn’t.
