Luckily I have a six year old who loves Star Wars so we’re going to see it this weekend, hopefully it subverts my expectations. Leaks say that Luke and Vader killed the clone, not original Palpy, thus making Vader's sacrifice ultimately pointless. It's the OP Rey that's going to kill the real Palp. | ||

AFTER THE FILM IS RELEASED: -You may post SPOILERS in this thread. What is this supposed to mean if we're allowed to post leaks in the thread? | ||

Also it never is explained how he survived etc. Then there is Snoke... | ||

The precious thing about this is that the clone could beat one on one at Vader and Luke, two of the strongest Jedis ever lol, what a real bs if that is the explanation, just clone Palpy 5 times and he will rule the galaxy forever. | ||

Even doing one and done Star Wars films won't solve their problems if they insist on ignoring continuity and following whatever whim they please. | ||

Even doing one and done Star Wars films won't solve their problems if they insist on ignoring continuity and following whatever whim they please. Indeed. It’s just bizarre, the Marvel films if nothing else do this extremely well, while the Star Wars films do not do a good job particularly in this domain at all. Don’t copy the films but at least look at what they do well in terms of world building, general plot buildup and how to build to something across many films even outside of the main line entries. | ||

https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/ec9vvj/star_wars_rise_of_skywalker_review_megathread/ The results are not good, some are saying they didn't expect it to be this bad. | ||

But the main feeling it instils in the viewer is a renewed respect for the imagination of Lucas. http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20191218-film-review-star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker This is so true | ||

When a big fandom is involved I really don’t trust these scores at all. In a really crude sense and I’m generalising I’ll see films up in the 90s or low down in the doldrums depending on whether they appealed to the most vociferous of the fanbase’s sensibilities, whereas wearing my ‘general audience’ hat they’ll both be 7/10 serviceable films. | ||

If they’re both bad that’s usually pretty solid as an indicator | ||

On the other, Disney shat all over Star Wars and I really am not happy about it. https://old.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/ec8hnl/discussion_thread_the_rise_of_skywalker_opening/ I didn't think i'd see such an enormous consensus on that subreddit that tends to be so apologetic and defensive of the sequels but damn. | ||

I remember right after TFA came out there was a post on /r/confessions from a suicidal guy who said he was going to hold off on killing himself until 2019 because he wanted to see the sequel trilogy through. Hope he's doing okay right now. | ||
