it is running slightly behind TLJ after 10 days domestically.Saw it for the 2nd time at the matinee. Place was mostly full. Movie is humming along at 20-30$ M per day.
I was completely with you until the mandalorian. I won't pretend it's the best Disney TV show, but it's pretty good imo.We just got back.
I'll echo anybody who liked it fine, without loving it. Some silly writing throughout, but that's true of all the SW movies. Wrapped it up fine, gave a little bit to everybody fanwise, and tbh I was happy with Rey's background story. I did think the movie was going to end with 30 mins her and Ben dying and saving each other over and over and over. I also expected a more populated ghost chorus as well, with everybody showing up.
All in all I enjoyed this last trilogy. The first one was pretty cringey writing-wise, but obviously engrained in our youths and collective pyche. The second trilogy with jarjar was awful. I liked rogue 1 quite a bit and don't remember the Han Solo thing at all. I find the mandalorian terrible.
My daughter had a callback for some unnamed SW thing, so onward it goes. Doubtful she gets the part since neither my wife or I are famous, and she hasn't starred on Broadway...but hopefully whatever it is is worthwhile and doesn't get jarjarred.

I was hoping for more ghosts. Just as a nod to the fans.
The "and I am all the Jedi" line had my son and I both telling each other we are iron Man, cheesy as anything.

The true pink ranger is Amy Jo Johnson.Hfs... Kerri Russell was the pink power ranger here?
I actually recognized her eyes.Hfs... Kerri Russell was the pink power ranger here?
Hey... Good to see you, gb! Hope you've been well.I actually recognized her eyes.
What the heck was it ?And even though it's a nod to the nerds- I love chweys present at the end. Never made sense originally.
Yeah- end of the first start wars, there's a big celebration and awarding of medals to Luke and Han in front of the entire resistance crew. But racist Leia chooses not to give one to the chewey, who stand off to the side looking dejected... And ready to stick it to the Man.The medal (Han's medal?) from the end of ANH.What the heck was it ?
Good to be back... some chance I may be heading back north to NY depending on what’s next career wise.Hey... Good to see you, gb! Hope you've been well.
But gtfo with that eyes bs
I am just curious how long the crew for those destroyers were buried alive for.Buddy Ball 2K3 said:If only Palpatine would have banned all star ships from having weapons his plan would have worked perfectly.
I didn’t recognize the eyes but thought I recognized her voice. Honestly forgot about it until reading this thread.Good to be back... some chance I may be heading back north to NY depending on what’s next career wise.
And no joke... saw her lift the mask to show her eyes and l it really was like ####, that’s Keri Russel (confirmed when the credits ran)
The voice was familiar, though I could't place it. Until those eyes.I didn’t recognize the eyes but thought I recognized her voice. Honestly forgot about it until reading this thread.

If you appreciate the finer things, aka Keri Russell, you should google "Keri Russell on Jimmy Fallon". I think you’ll enjoy that.Yep.
Some of us appreciate the finer things in life, like Keri's eyes.
I would have liked her to take off the helmet in the end scene with Poe.

Any chance the next movies include Zorii and Poe?

I disagree that they went back on this. Hinting at Finn having some Force in him continued. He was encouraged to trust his feelings, and in the end he did. That wasn't a throw-away, imo. It was more hinting at what was started in 8.I think another concept people are saying they went back on with 9 is that anybody can be strong with the force. That is what Johnson was going for with Rey's parents and broom boy at the start. Also with people like Finn and Maz seemingly having the force. Then Ep went right back everything having to do with a specific bloodline that we have seen before.
I read an interview with Johnson saying that he did what he thought was best with Luke when he had to try to explain why he was hiding by himself and what his headspace would be like to get him to that point. Abrams didn't really set anything up in that department in 7, just that Rey was trying to find Luke and he had disappeared.
So what I gather from most of the pods and critics is these main two themes, plus the fact that Johnson at least tried to do something that wasn't a rehash of 4-6.
I guess. Still basically all about rey being a palpatine and the only people with real power are that way because of a bloodline.I disagree that they went back on this.

It was. And they definitely attributed the depth of that power to her bloodline. And Finn's definitely wasn't explored any more than the hints.I guess. Still basically all about rey being a palpatine and the only people with real power are that way because of a bloodline.
that was a great read. It hits on so many of the topics that have been discussed in this thread. It is nice to hear the writers thoughts behind the choices.
Crew?I am just curious how long the crew for those destroyers were buried alive for.
Were they ghost ships? I thought they showed some crew inside one.Crew?
Honestly this is the only lingering question I have. I assume the book may give us some color but who knows. The only disappointment I have about episode 9 is that there wasn’t more. I loved the storyline so much that I could have gotten another 30 minutes to explain things a bit more. At some point I’m sure they will come up with an explanation.Were they ghost ships? I thought they showed some crew inside one.
I just assumed Palps was so efficient at creating the things and kick starting them, he might as well be flying them all too. Cause #### it. It looks cool. Who cares how it works.Were they ghost ships? I thought they showed some crew inside one.
They emphasized that the First Order has basically been stripping the worlds under its control of all the kids for a while now. It’s not the biggest leap this series has taken to assume they had the manpower to put at least skeleton crews on the ships.Honestly this is the only lingering question I have.

They knew what they were getting into when they took on the job.Finding a crew to man the ships is easier than finding people to build them.
Randal: A construction job of that magnitude would require a helluva lot more manpower than an all but dead emperor of an all but dead empire had to offer. I'll bet there were independent contractors working on those things: plumbers, aluminum siders, roofers.
Dante: Not just Imperials, is what you're getting at.
Randal: Exactly. In order to get them all built quietly they'd hire anybody who could do the job. Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms.
Dante: All right, so even if independent contractors are building all these star destroyers, why are you uneasy with where they're going to find a crew to run them?
Randal: All those innocent contractors hired to do a job needed to be paid. All right, look-you're a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got the wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia-this is a government contract, which means all sorts of benefits. All of a sudden you find out this government contract is from a government that doesn't even exist any more. They have no citizens. They have no tax revenue. They have nothing. You get to pay day and find out you're screwed. You didn't ask for that. You have no personal politics. You're just trying to scrape out a living. All these innocent contractors victimized financially before one ship even launches, and your biggest question is where the crew is? Sheesh!
I’m not “so fine” with letting the novel explain. I said it’s the lingering question I have and that I wish the movie was a bit longer.I just find it odd you are so fine with letting the novelization explain the movie. Imo that should be on the filmmakers.
This seems plausiblez Maybe one day they will definitively answer those questions in another show or movie.They emphasized that the First Order has basically been stripping the worlds under its control of all the kids for a while now. It’s not the biggest leap this series has taken to assume they had the manpower to put at least skeleton crews on the ships.
2022 there is a movie scheduled. Also mandalorian 2 coming out. 2 new series start filming in 2020.Well wonder when the next Star Wars movie will be out?! Saying hey are going to be in the going on a pretty long hiatus from what I hear.
