The New Star Wars Films

[ZonkoVille77]

It hasn't ruined the saga for me.  They can never take away the OT or my beloved prequels.

 

I do think it has ruined the new trilogy, though, and has killed any enthusiasm I had for episode IX.  That said, I'll still watch the damn thing and this new Solo film as I'm hooked on this shit.

 

I'm pretty much the same. I'll end up going to see every film they put out under the Star Wars umbrella because I'm hooked.

But I don't 'care' for the new films in the way I did the old. They told a story that worked well across 3 films. This latest stuff is gash in terms of tying it to the OT but as stand alone films, they are entertaining in their own right. I would actually put Rogue One close to the OT in terms of quality. I think that's a really good film.

Rogue One is terrible except for the last 30 minutes. I watched it again over Christmas and was bored by it

 

With regard to the latest trilogy, I think I've said it before but I'm no longer interested in it. It's actually killed my love of new Star Wars. Don't care about episode 9 or any of the spin offs.

[Strontium]

Funny, every time I watch Rogue One, I think it's even better.

 

Mind you, I liked Last Jedi too, so I can't be a real fan. I've only spent about 200 quid on Star Wars toys in the first two months of the year, after all.

I've got an original Revenge of the Jedi poster so I'm a bigger fan than you

[Juniper]

It's about him.

Ok Chris, nice one.

Every minute of Rogue One is fucking dull.

 

The last thirty minutes are completely redundant and devoid of any sort of tension as we already know they get the plans and mail them off. Even the death of the characters is completely inconsequential due to the fact they play no role whatsoever in the original trilogy, which this directly leads into. That whole film was pointless and filled with awful boring characters.

 

And that Darth Vader thing at the end was fucking embarrassing.

That Snape comment had me howling. Good post though, it does give a better understanding of why non-fans likes it more than fans. I think the set of movies is a bit wank, but I get why some are pissed.

I have a storm trooper ink stamp that I bought at a carboot sale for 20p. That makes me a superfan.

 

Last Jedi was a good film apart from Leia  flying through space.

 

The prequels should be deleted from history.

 

Rogue One was toss

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Rogue One was boss.

Rogue One was boss.

Correct. Also I like the idea the project manager for the death star was Australian, imagine how many boozers it had.

Wonder if it had a Lassiters in the plans too?

Tiled most likely, 1950s-style (given the death star would be an austerity place) - for the six o'clock swill, so the vomit could be easily hosed away by a Stormtrooper at 6.05.

"Solo" trailer

 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Looks fun.

[ZonkoVille77]

looks fuckin shite

[Section_31]

Looks alright that, not expecting anything amazing but looks like a good laugh. Can't go wrong with Woody either.

[Juniper]

Still not excited about it, trailer hasn’t changed that.

 

Still will be watching it opening night I’m sure. Hope it’s good but I’m not convinced.

Exactly.

Gosh, I hope that "Chewie" character makes it!!!

[Strontium]

I suspect he's in about as much peril as James Bond is in every James Bond movie.

[Boss]

It looks like same movie being repeated over and over again with a different cast.

[easytoslip]

Never seen any of them, someone gave me stick because I didn't know who that Carrie bird was and had never heard of Princess Leah ? I do now sadly.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Looks alright. At this stage I've come to accept that Disney are going to be making most of these films into Guardians of the Star Wars Galaxy type things given the huge success of the Marvel blueprint. Once I got past the laboured attempts at humour in TLJ I quite enjoyed it.
