Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

How can there be any redemption in the next film when they've already killed off pretty much every character from the original series? There's zero to like about any of the new characters, and anything noteworthy in the last two films was basically the result of Han/Luke carrying the PuG.

the complete flippant discarding of Ackbar was one of the most horrible things in TLJ

They didn't fire Kennedy so only way I am going to see this is if you guys come back singing its praises.

The only way I am seeing this is if Jar Jar Binks is a Sith Lord.

And you know they will so I guess you're seeing it.

Put Chanur down for 1 ticket of theatrical viewing pleasure.

A SITH LORD!?

We must move quickly if the Jedi are to survive.

I refuse to watch Solo and unless ya’all are going bananananananas for episode 9 I won’t be seeing that either. I understand and accept the reality that the current Star Wars films are made by people who hate me, don’t want me as a fan, and have no intention of honouring the Star Wars I loved.

So be it, life goes on.

How anyone can still care about Star Wars is beyond me.

They should scrap this shit and make SpaceBalls2 the search for more money

Now that's a fitting Star Wars title. Every movie should have that in it. "Star Wars episode 25: The search for more money"
"The search for more money: a Star Wars story"

How much more meaningful would it have been that instead of the Mary Poppins scene that when the blasts hit and the debris cleared, you see Leia on her hands and knees with her hand extended creating a force shield of sorts. Ackbar not knowing of Leia's act, attempt to shield her from death but as he opens his eyes covering Leia he realizes they're all still alive and Leia was saving them though she was failing quickly from the exertion.

This could demonstrate her link to the force and Ackbar attempting to save his Princess and dear friend but only to discover she was saving them all. They then retreat to safety and get away, story continues as is.

It's not that difficult to give iconic figures moments and pay homage to them with a little fan service. It's beyond me why they didn't have little payoffs even if they did end up dying in the end such as Ackbar. He could have died trying to save Leia and the ship even if Leia used the force. It's just crazy to me how many little moments they didn't capitalize on.

Completely intentional dude. The intention from minute 1 was to shit on anything the evil white male core fanbase loved, and promote gurl power like Admiral Purple-Hair (instead of Ackbar re: sacrificing herself for the absurd hyperspace attack).

He knew. He was one of the only ones that knew, and they snuffed him.

they had to kill him off because Ackbar never would have done the dumb shit that Admiral Genderstudies did

The excitement in this thread is a lot like parents organizing a baby shower after being told their child would be stillborn.

Throw it in the compost and move on, thanks.

No, it's schadenfreude. If 9 continues down the same road as 8, then yeah I'm excited to see it flop, because fuck Disney.

Topher Grace (David Duke in BlackKKKlansman) cut a new Star Wars trailer. Its pretty fucking good and saves you the trouble of watching Solo, TFA, and TLJ

he also apparently recut The Hobbit into a single 3 hour movie while he was filming BlackK, said it was a way to escape the heavy role

A clear indicator the story was written by someone with no real interest in the previous movies. Nobody who cared would have him go out like that

ackbar was handled so poorly that i still have doubts that that WAS ackbar.

Maybe I haven't been keeping up, but outside limited "flashback" or "ghost" type sequences, what role will Luke serve in the next movie considering he's dead?
