Nope, but that's a good shout. It just seems a bit daunting since there are so many episodes lol
People will be funny and say TLJ.
I would imagine the actual error is his death and the initial fall of the Empire
They couldn't even put the scroll tease in Battlefront II.
They did it in... Fortnite. Goodbye.
They did it in... Fortnite. Goodbye.
I mean, it's not like TLJ had anything for them to work with.
i mean, star wars was always shit. of course they were going to overcorrect after fans got pissy about a non-shit star wars. whiny nerds, this crap is what you deserve
The new season of TCW begins in February so you would have two months for that of you want to immediately see season 7. Otherwise you could take all the time in the world for them as they're going nowhere.
It doesn't bloody matter. Watch the movie. It doesn't even link with TFA fully. It rewrites half of Star Wars in fact.
I disagree, especially regarding Baby Yoda and the Tatooine stuff, but my point was that to say it has shown restraint in doing anything OT related is laughable.
Marketing, shmarketing - I get why in a 'business' sense, but it just... it's so... whack.
I liked the setting and I liked the idea of the unlikeliest of allies helping the Rebellion topple the Empire. But the Ewoks were so obviously geared to be cute merchandise.
The mysterious broadcast about revenge is the Fortnite in-game ad they ran last week. It's not shown anywhere in the movie.
That event was canon, so Geoff is in Death Stranding AND Star Wars now
Lmao at ppl blaming the bad score on Rian Johnson. Cant believe RJ placed a blood curse on the film that caused it to be bad.
The crawl references the fortnite event. It's literally the start of the movies plot
The overblown praise for it is just as annoying as the bullshit hate.
What the fuck makes TLJ so damn special while all the other movies are supposedly shit?
Makes no fucking sense at all, but these people obviously have some weirdo agenda going on.
At a certain point you ought to wonder if you might just be a little oversensitive.
Oh trust me, they go by fast. Well, maybe not the ones where Jar Jar shows up but luckily those are few and far between. There's also this image floating around that highlights the essential episodes if you really don't want to watch them all but it skips quite a few that are well worth watching imo. It's a great show. I'm not as high on Rebels, it usually just made me miss the quality of Clone Wars in comparison.
I think all Star Wars movies are fine with some being better.
Wait, the broadcast isn't in the movie?
I was resisting the urge to say this earlier, but I can't anymore. YOU FUCKING HACKS
Hot take: SW music’s been forgettable since Duel of the Fates. Not even a big fan of it but it’s very distinctive and memorable.
People, just enjoy Star Wars for what it is: a good time at the cinema where you turn your brain off. Think of it like fast food.
Somehow, this is all Rian Johnson's fault. It just has to be, I tells ya.
They seriously couldn't just put this at the very beginning before the opening scroll? Disney is making me too angry these days.
Haven’t seen the film yet, but I’m curious what RJ would have done to close the saga. There’s so much baggage there that it seems like a monumental task. I’m actually surprised JJ decided to do it.
Oh, the reactions were making me think Fortnite was literally mentioned.
Maybe. Its just tiring as fuck being a Star Wars fan. Gotta deal with bullshit from both haters and extreme fanboys.
I just want to enjoy my dumb space fantasy...
I think this movie is so weird that it will finally silence those people. I hope so at least.
Hey, give me some credit. I have never called RJ a hack. Abrams, on the other hand...
I agree. I like them all. I think there are the better/worse entries but the hyperbole that any of these movies are actually bad is total negative fanboy bullshit.
There is a little nudge to it, the crawl has the line "A fortnight ;) after the battle on Crait..." and Kylo Ren does floss in the background of one scene
Even if this movie was the best of the entire series, cooling the franchise would still be the smart decision. Star Wars should be an event.
I would like to go back to the 90s please.
This actually kind of explains that “turn your brain off and enjoy sentiment” that I’m seeing, because if this is true it would break my brain and I’m not even a huge “lore” guy. I just can’t deal with streams of contrived , hackneyed nonsensical swill being flung at me like I’m some addict to “all the feels” their consumption is trying to evoke . That is what this movie sounds like*
* my “ inner child “‘is fine thank you and yes I enjoy lots of things , even other SW related things whoa
