Cast list also includes Billy Dee Williams and Mark Hamill (but I never expected him to be absent) and Disney says this will be the final installment in the “Skywalker saga”.

Honestly sounds like good news all around. Even though TLJ left me feeling very indifferent towards the rest of the series, I am kind of interested just to see what they end up doing. I really don’t want to see a course correction from JJ.

I’m also glad that they don’t have to give Leia an unsatisfying send off where she just doesn’t appear in the next one. I never figured they’d do a recast or uncanny valley face swap.

Please discuss and thank you.

I hope Rose never comes back.

I wish Trevorrow was on this one. He really impressed me with Jurassic World 2. Would've been much better than JJ, IMO.

Given the unnecessary hate that the actress has gotten, I don't think she'd want to come back

Yeah, I don't know what people are on. I guess I went in expecting a monster movie rather than a realistic dinosaur movie. There are several shots that just made me go, "Wow, this is phenomenal." Colin only wrote the film AFAIK, so to speak on that, the pacing was a bit off (not as bad as the Casino from TLJ, mind you), but his characters felt complex and realistic. Great banter, cool interactions. There are a few that, when you first see them, you think "Oh, it's going to be that [insert stereotype here]." but they end up actually being pretty interesteing. The humour is here, and lacked the "current-year" element Disney has been pushing.

I don't know, it felt a lot better than the first Jurassic World and genuinely made me desire a Star Wars film where Rey was written by Trevorrow. Beyond the dumb premise of the film is something I think would age MUCH better than, say, Doctor Strange or The Force Awakens were it not for the general opinion on the premise of a Jurassic World sequel.
