It killed Star Wars for me tbh, or at least the hype. I really don't care much about E9 at this point. I'll definitely watch it, but the hype is gone. I went from watching these at midnight since TPM to catching Solo on Blu Ray (which was way better than TLJ).

so did TPM.

however, never has a SW movie killed anticipation for the next major movie in the franchise as TLJ did with solo xd.

the worst part is that solo didn't even deserve it and was overall a more enjoyable movie.

yeah, it "really" makes sense that the previous movie that broke commercial records would apparently cause fatigue and kill interest in the next movie.

The film was beautifully shot. The sets were very well done, the camerawork was excellent, and the art design and cinematography was above and beyond what you would normally expect for a Star Wars film (the prime example being the lightspeed shot).

The acting was above par, especially on the parts of Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, and Adam Driver (honorable mention to the single scene Laura Dern has with Carrie Fisher - both actors did an adequate job throughout the rest of the film but this scene in particular was brilliantly performed by both).

The writing was a mixed bag - pretty much the norm for Star Wars. Most of the dialogue was fair enough, with a few clunky lines here and there, which again is par for the course for a Star Wars movie. But the major writing weaknesses lie in the overall plot, in particular the decision to have the entire movie be a two and a half hour chase film. It created a lot of unnecessary pacing issues and resulted in a lot of the other writing decisions feeling very poorly executed - consider, for example, how the side plot of the secret mission to the casino could have felt if not handcuffed by the looming presence of the chase plot.

Those decisions aside, the writing was pretty good. The script explores a lot of interesting themes, and brings some new character conceptualizationsninto focus. I agree with the assessment that Rian Johnson goes out of his way to subvert the normal and expected tropes is true, and I think that on the whole, this ends up working in the films favor.

The score is John Williams, who is brilliant on his worst day. Not much to really say there.

So, yeah. I think its pretty good. Not without its flaws, certainly. But it does a pretty good job of telling the story it sets out to tell, and it looks great in the process.

My opinion on it hasn't changed, and that's that I thought it was very good.

Was it a perfect movie? No. Still in my top half of Star Wars movies though.

Rogue One was still the best Disney SW movie though.

Probably my least favorite of the Disney lineup.

Still a decent film though, I think a lot of people who hated it wanted Luke to be like he was in NJO, but forgot that the real Mark Hamill is in his late 60's and in poor shape.

No, nothing has changed.

Let's just say that I've never pirated Star Wars movies, not once. After watching that, I mourned the money I spent and decided that I would be pirating Ep. 9 after all, just for some hate-watching.

It's a good movie removed from its place in the current Star Wars timeline, but in context far too much of it depends on your tolerance of Rian's attempts to ape KOTOR II.

Either way Rose is a really pointless character.

It's still the worst. Yes, even worse than the prequels. The movie looks great visually and the performances are good enough but that's to be expected of AAA Blockbusters at this point. The story and partiularly its gutting of the legacy of Luke is a travesty. How did they think it wouldn't backfire?

I feel so bad for Hamill. He's spoken his mind multiple times about how he disagreed with everything Rian Johnson did with Luke.

It was the film where I decided that I just don't have an interest in Star Wars anymore.

The prequel trilogy was all shit. The Force Awakens was passable and if they'd followed it up in a way that I enjoyed I could have gotten behind the series again.

Unfortunately, it was the same calibre as the prequels. Given that the last truly decent Star Wars film came out several years before I was born, it's just not worth the hassle.

I lost all interest in Star Wars after seeing Episode 7, so I have not seen Rogue One, Episode 8 or Solo.

I did see the RLM review about Episode 8 and the movie looks like it was written by an eight year old so I'm glad I skipped it, though I'm not glad about what they did with the series.

Trash movie. It came off as though Johnson didn't even read TFA cliffnotes before he wrote TLJ.

Oh god, this argument again.
Everybody loves Leia, everyone loves Ashoka (Hell, Ashoka is the favorite character period for a fuckton of SW fans), and everyone has loved female leads for literal decades dating back even as far as the 60's. Rey is a boring, nothing character, who doesn't earn anything, and who doesn't deserve praise simply because she never loses/is "strong" and a female. If you like Rey and TLJ, fucking kudos to you. But cut the strawman bullshit, it's not a good look.
