****Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker - Official Thread****

Any list that doesn't put The Last Jedi as the worst Star Wars film ever made is not a list I have any confidence in.

If Palpatine is still alive, and the featurette above strongly suggests that he is, that would mean Anakin died for nothing. He changed nothing. He didn't bring an end to Sith order. The balance to the force was never restored. The one who was prophecised to bring it, never did. .

Google Mortis, the balance of the force never had anything to do with ending the Sith. Besides it wouldn't be balanced if there were none left.

This shows the Canon episodes of Clone Wars which explains this.

But I do agree, it's laughable if he's back. What next Windu?
 
Now watching Dave on EEVBlog2 talking about it. Direct quotes.

"Overall the movie was pretty bad"

"The movie is, it is a mess. It is an absolute mess. It was rushed, you can tell. If they had another couple of months to edit this thing, it would have been, probably a hell of a lot better"

"There was one scene, that I almost like walked, I wanted to walk out. No F'ing way did you do that!"

"Dialled up to J.J. Abrams 11"

"I was hoping for better. I had a very low bar going into this, and it didn't really make the bar."

"It was like 10 hours worth of script jammed into 2 hours."

Dave's a fan of the OT. Good job my ticket is a freebie I think.

Haven't seen Star Wars in the cinema since the massively disappointing TLJ. I watched Solo at a friends place and found that almost as bad.

I've been keeping an eye on TROS but the more I see and hear about it the worse it looks to be, I'll be skipping this I think.

At least The Mandalorian has been good, I adore Star Wars but Disney have butchered the movies, with the exception of Rogue One which I found to be decent.

The problem is they tried to fit old with new. They should have just started something completely fresh. It could have been set 100 years in the future and completely original but still have the Jedi Vs Sith at its core.

but rather that the 142-minute movie spends almost its entire running time retconning its predecessor and adding painfully conventional “plot twists” and patronizing reversals in the name of mollifying the fans who merely want to be reminded of the first three movies.

So as expected, a lot of time spent undoing what that idiot Johnson was allowed to do.
 
This is getting slammed.

One particular review said and I paraphrase slightly "it's a terrible movie, a terrible finale and is only there to give adult star wars fans a pat on the head that they are still special" :D:D:D

At least most the people in here will like it :p
