Brilliant idea! This time it could be an actual star instead of a dinky planet or non-moon. It would be full of midichlorians and shoot those little sailors at planets so the Force could impregnate trillions of women at a time. It could be called "Star Wars: The Force Reproduces".

First time I've ever had to say this, but I'm going to wait to read reviews before I pay $$ to see the new star wars movie.

No spoilers ahead:

Since I'm not going to watch it, I've been listening to all kinds of videos about leaked endings (there are multiple rumored to have been filmed). They go from lame to eye-rollingingly horrible.

Concerning the worst of them all, I hope they actually go with that ending, because I would wait until it hits D+, then zip to the ending just to see it actually happen.

Warner Bros did put out the Clone Wars movie if I recall correctly. And they own the Batman rights so it all makes perfect sense to Kennedy.

It all just gets worse and worse. JJ can't help but rip off other peoples stuff for his movies. The older he gets the more he rips off.

You do not remember saying that after TLJ?

bob saget · Nov 22, 2019, 12:35 AM

If you guys are at all unhappy with the direction Star Wars has been going the last number of years, vote with your wallets. Give your money to an actual quality cause: like the new Charlie’s Angels movie or the Republican Party.

Yup. I learned hard and fast after seeing the first of the prequels back in the 90's.

Athena · Nov 27, 2019, 09:56 AM

Looks like one of our banks IT vendor suitors wants to take me to the Star Wars movie for free and stuff my face with free food and such before hand. This makes it so I can see he movie as I did not want to actually pay for it. But still not sure I want to pay the gas money, so I may need to do a Patron or something to cover that. lol

**nutcrackr** · Nov 27, 2019, 07:25 PM

I didn't like TFA or TLJ but I'll probably see this in the first week just so I don't have to dance around spoilers for months. Maybe it won't be as bad as the others.

At this point I'm pretty confident that the surprises are going to be stupid, so I'm not too worried about spoilers.

JJ/Kennedy Wars is some sort of mutant outcast that should have been banished to the Outer Rim. But hey, maybe the next one will be worth watching. Hoping they subvert expectations by having Captain Phasma come back to kill off the main characters two minutes into the film... with Luke's blue-milk-drinking force ghost laughing uncontrollably for the next two hours.

Sounds better than the actual rumors.

SubCog · Nov 28, 2019, 11:41 AM

They de-canonized the expanded universe. Maybe they can de-canonize the new trilogy and re-canonize the expanded universe again? I'd love to see them do the Thrawn trilogy. It's easy to do, if they throw in a JJ Abrams time-travel gimmick.

Athena · Dec 2, 2019, 04:21 PM

Just in time to get you all pumped up for the most epic pop culture event of our time!!

Chuck · Dec 2, 2019, 09:24 PM

Bought tickets for opening night but I am not keeping my hopes up.

The trailer looks terrible. Characters still seem as one dimensional and boring as ever. Not the least bit endearing like the original trio.

I paid for TFA and Rogue One... barely got my money's worth in the latter... had a bad feeling on TLJ and didn't bother... I feel the force protected me from the brainwashing...

The recent ep 4 on Mandalorian tells me that Disney has an agenda that should not be supported... bad writers, bad plots... they make Jar Jar Binks worthy of best actor lifetime achievement award. Seriously... meeesa tinkin yousa in big doo doo Disney brrrrrrrrrrrrrr meh

If they can de-canonize 30 years of work, they might as well just de-canonize the Original Trilogy. That's so crass and non-sensical it defies comprehension.
