One of my big rules is Don't Talk About Star Wars On The Internet, so at risk of this whole thread needing to be locked by mods...

How did you like The Last Jedi?

I feel the fact no-one's replied in hours is a sign that question is too dangerous to be answered.

Which, yeah, I'm okay with! I'm okay with putting my head in a lion's mouth and emerging unscathed!

Hello I am Spearichu and I will be your lion for this evening.

For the record, I loved it.

I actually enjoyed The Last Jedi.

Fight me.

(I totally loved The Last Jedi, but it's hard to say that on the internet without things getting uncomfortable, so I try to avoid talking about it. But I'm glad other people liked it!)

Yeah, I liked it too! Toku's kinda filled my personal niche of 'cool live-action drama' but TLJ's one of those Star Wars movies that comes damn close to nailing it. Love a lot of what it set out to do, loved the messages, cinematography is just gorgeous in some places. There's some flaws, sure (can Phasma PLEASE have, like, a reason to be a character) but overall it was a pretty good star war

I like The Last Jedi for doing something original than doing another rehash. I think the movie would have been way better if they remove most of the filler out of the movie. The Casino stuff in the movie was pointless and added nothing to do with the movie. I don't think it's a great movie, but at least it is watchable.

I'm still sick of Star Wars in general and I didn't bother to see Rise of Skywalker. Star Wars has been over saturated for the last 20+ years now, I feel sick in my stomach when I see anything with Star Wars slap on to it (The Mandalorian is the very rare exception).

(oh my god we're talking about this fingers crossed everybody)

I'll even defend the Canto Bight stuff! It goes on a little long, but I thought it did a great job of reframing the endless Rebels/Empire-style conflicts as something a larger galaxy indulges because it's making them money. In a movie that's all about deconstructing narratives and making people see outside of their stories, it's a great lesson about the larger stories that are going on while the heroes and villains are waging their wars. I mean, you could argue its effectiveness (most people hated it, so, uh, clearly needed some work), but I'd say it's got a definite reason to be there.
