-Just about every character and their arcs
-Reylo
-Finn confirmed for force sensitive
-A bunch of the fanservice is vapid nonsense but some of it, like Luke finally lifting his X-Wing is genuine brilliant.
-The various planets and settings
-Force healing
-The Sennate's crazy force powers

Diskies
Spoiler
-More fucking superlasers, JJ? come the fuck on

-Palpatines defeat was the single lamest fight in anything nice seen in my life. "Oh no not TWO lightsabers! My one mortal weakness apparently.

-No concequences for Rey's huge ass fuck ups. Made worse because this is going to keep the incels calling her a Mary Sue even though they're just completely objectivity wrong on every single level at this point.

Still in progress. I should've written this out last night when it was super fresh in my mind and I wasn't at the mercy of Autocorrect's wrath.

I see most reviewers just complaining about the plot, but the main issue with the movie is that the pacing is frantic and it feels very uncinematic like none of the other movies do. It kind of reminded me of Spectre, oddly enough. A lot of people are going to say that this should have been 2-3 movies but they're wrong. The main plot is really simplistic when you think about it. I'd say it's easily one of the worst of the franchise. There's a lot more I can say but this is one of those movies that you start to forget about immediately.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

I completely agree. It's not complicated; characters barely speak and all of the runtime is spent on moving from location to location or setting up fake-our deaths that ultimately serve no purpose. It seemed to be built entirely on the premise of milking every ounce of love for the characters through half-baked emotional tugs and fan service.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
Clone Wars still remains the absolute peak of star wars content though

Fixed
it was shit

Clone Wars as in the Cartoon, not Attack of the Clones
how many times do I need to tell you it was shit

just got back from it

so JJ really just remade an episode of the OT again huh lmao

this movie was definitely star wars at its most soap opera-iest, but i don't necessarily consider that to be a bad thing

i'm more or less satisfied with it; all the twists were fun, but i found the climax difficult to take seriously

kylo ren is officially my favorite star wars character, and it's not close anymore

I know and sort of agree with what you're getting at, but I don't think cartoon is the right word. I think "campy" is a better term. Star Wars is very cliche and campy but I think when it is done well, it can be endearing and fun.

i guess i just don't understand where the newer movies failed to do that well

there's certainly a difference in tone--later in that stuckmann review, he used the term "Marvel-y" to describe certain scenes in TRoS, which is something i actually agree with a lot

but at the same time, i don't dislike that the three trilogies do not all feel the same, because this is a new era, and if i want to watch the OT, i'll watch the OT (although i never want to watch the OT)

the biggest criticism of the new trilogy that i can accept right now is that the three films do not cohere as well as the previous two trilogies did

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
I haven't seen it yet. Probably wont until after the home release. My dad saw it and said the pacing was totally off. If what I heard about so many scenes being cut is true then that would make sense I guess. He's pretty pissed that they basically scrapped everything they filmed with Hayden Christensen, Ewan Macgregor etc. but still enjoyed a lot of what was there. I'm pretty disappointed about the cuts as well. I don't care if the movie would've been around 3 hours, I think it should've been tbh. They had so many loose ends to tie up.

I'm probably not going to see The Rise of Skywalker until its out on Netflix anyway. Its what I did with The Last Jedi.

Star Wars from the very beginning has always been a flawed story, but I gotta admit, I don't like the way Disney is handling it. At least the music is still great. Thanks John Williams.

Nobody tell him.

Netflix

Oh yeah.... Fucking Disney+

Welp, forget seeing it then.

The mouse is evil man.

I'm no fan of Disney but I don't really see how them launching their own service is what makes them evil; they certainly have the library to justify it.

I was joking, Jesus.

No shit they have the library to justify it. Its Disney! In all fairness I do have rather a love/hate relationship with Disney itself.

I love you, son.
Hoping the film drops on Disney+ UK soon so I can see how it holds up. Having given it some time there are things that I'm feeling more positive about and other stuff that I hate.

I still think the Sequel Trilogy as a whole gets too much flak and isn't even that much less cohesive than the Original Trilogy. The characters are definitely my favourite out of all the trilogies.

If you know, you know.
Watched it and now am rewatching the other three movies to understand if what happened in RoS was good or bad.
