The one on the ground does very much look like the right shape, from a cursory glance.

Disagree all you want with how TLJ  was built or the direction it took the  story    , but at no point has there been any indication  that it was  not crafted  with  care  , Rian Johnson  is not openly hostile to the franchise (and continues to engage with it), and has been overall very friendly with the fans.

What story? This movie is just a hamster running on a wheel. Sure it looks like stuff is happening but that hamster isn't going anywhere. The laziness of the screenwriting is just transparent to a point of hilarity. Seriously, please watch Mr. Plinkets review if you want an in depth explanation of the issues, and a better understanding of why people who aren't misogynist jerks don't like this film. I'm not saying there weren't any good ideas in this movie, but all of them existed solely to be teased and abandoned to ensure no one knew exactly what was going to happen. I suppose he succeeded in that regard, but subversion doesn't make a compelling story on it's own. It's a starting point for an idea, that Johnson just didn't have, or didn't have the courage to follow through on. So many good ideas in this movie, and all of them brought up just to abandoned not 5 minutes later.

As for my hostility remark, well TLJ feels like a parody of Star Wars. Not of the prequels, not of the silly EU stuff, but of Star Wars itself. That feeling will never leave me. And let's not forgot him goading the fans with your-snoke-theory-is-wrong.jpg while deciding to make himself correct by killing the character.

If there is anything good that came from Solo's financial failure, and TLJ's critical shortcomings, it's this. It wasn't too long ago that the plan was, "new movie every year." I don't want assembly line Star Wars movies. I want movies that are crafted with care, preferably by people who aren't openly hostile to the franchise and it's fans. Looking at you Rian.

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. It just means they need to broaden their horizons some and look into alternate times, characters, and themes. Kind of like they're doing now.

Agree to disagree I guess. I've watched the review, I hold a different view point on the movie as a whole. I didn't feel at all like it was a parody of Star Wars; it didn't align with my expectations, but I was ok with that. I didn't particularly love it, but I also didn't hate it. I guess I'm an outlier that I'm not on one side of the divide.

A .jpg aside, his interactions with fans (to include critical fans who aren't misogynist jerks) have been largely very positive and very appreciative. Heck, just scroll down his twitter for a bit, he expresses it.

I'm with you, really. Plinkett aside (the "comedy" of that series wore out around Attack of the Clones), I don't hate The Last Jedi. I don't love it, either. There are things I do love, like *everything* with Luke Skywalker (I'm still mad they cut out the party scene), DJ's character and Kylo Ren actually showing some depth. And there are things I don't like, such as the entire casino sequence, the overall timeline of the story, and Rose's character (for what it's worth, I thought the actor was fine--I thought the character was meh.)

I didn't have a problem with Leia exhibiting Force powers, but I thought the way that was displayed could have been done better. I didn't have a problem with Holdo's keeping secrets from Poe, or with Poe's reaction to it. I did, however, dislike Holdo's characterization in the movie, as it seemed very, very different from her characterization in the novel. Granted, I understand that four years of open warfare and 30 years of time looking for the next threat can certainly change a person, but, apart from her hair, she just seemed like a different character.

I'd put it just above TPM and AotC in my ranking--just under RotS. But, I don't regret seeing it twice in theaters nor buying the Blu-ray. And, honestly, I look forward to what he can do with a trilogy that he has control of from start to finish.

This is what Genius looks like

Check the date

Star Wars leaks 😂

Killer Enfys Nest CosPlay!

After TLJ not in the least bit excited about ep.9
But i hope it will not fail in a way that it'll impact X-wing in a negative manner.

But watching how (Ma)Rey (sue) once again beats Kylo /the plot without any training or practice simply has zero appeal.
Plus they killed off all the characters I cared about. (well; Except Lando)

Nine things we learned about The Clone Wars

Is Will of The Force the real title or just to throw us of?

It’s a series starring Will Arnett as himself, dropped into the SW universe and given Jedi powers. Join Will and his companions, played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as themselves, as they puzzle their way through a confusing and poorly written narrative to the end. In real time. Also starring Chevy Chase.

Order 66

Didn't like TLJ...

First time I ever left a SW movie feeling let down. When I saw TFA I was happy that I had seen another SW movie so that kind of kept me from being disappointed in the obvious complete reimaging of the Original that was TFA. With TLJ.....I don't even think its worth going into here. I am excited about Episode 9 but I am going to keep my expectations low because of TLJ.

More excited about the Mandalorian to be honest. That looks like some cool SW story telling.

I liked TLJ (for the most part), but I am more excited for the Mandalorian than for Episode 9 as well. I love Mandalorians and I like the idea of a series focusing on a “lone gun fighter in the Wild West” style of story in Star Wars. Put them together, and my hope skyrockets.

So, the weekend before Celebration, I jogged by a guy in sunglasses sitting on a bench in a small park in the South Loop of Chicago that I thought, "Hey, he kinda looks like the Emperor."

Now, I really, Really, REALLY, think I jogged by Ian McDiarmid. 😎 🤣

Can’t wait to see the prequels.

Scarif at Celebration

Complete with Hip Hop Trooper with boom box, there were Surftroopers, Matt the radar technician, and of course, George Lucas

Blue Milk Brothers

There are 106 Parsecs to Coruscant. We’ve got a full tank of Tibanna gas, half a pack of death sticks, it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses.

Hit it.

High Quality Album

Cheers 🥂
