Did you block that part of "The Last Jedi" out of your memory?

I am holding out for Ackbar getting his own movie. 😤

Yeah but it'd have to be a prequel then.

It's sci-fi.  Anything is possible. 😁

eh I'm sure they can come up with something, definitely wouldn't just say ***** it he's back or anything though...that'd be lazy.

A vocal set of Star Wars “fans” just love to crap on the sequels and Daisy Ridley, but I for one (for the most part, but Ruin Johnson did really screw things up pretty bad) enjoyed them. Watching some of the deleted scenes, including Luke’s third lesson that didn’t make it in 🙄😠, helped. Twenty minutes of Canto Bight that was entirely pointless but he skimped on Luke and Jedi training.
 

So happy that she’s getting another turn at it and this time with Dave Filoni now at the full creative controls for all of SW. Better writing, better & more cohesive plot, and now filming in The Volume makes so many more things possible on budget.
 

(I dunno if Favreau will have much input, as he seems to enjoy / focus on the Mando stuff.)

Yes. Gold. I’ll also take a silver for only seeing one-half episode total of Star Trek.  It was the one where Frank Gorshin had half white and half black face.  I got bored and switched to WWWF.  I think Johnny Rodz actually won a match.  Which is remarkable.

I thought it looked interesting too.

 

I loved that spacecraft flying along with a huge ventral and dorsal vertical stabilizer.

The problem with the sequel trilogy isn't so much the protagonist (though Finn is the more natural protagonist than Rey) or even ruining Luke's character but the laziness that led to both of those decisions. Oh, Anakin wasn't the chosen one after all. Oh, look, Palpatine is actually not dead. Oh, the Empire wasn't actually defeated. Oh, Leia never went on to be a great stateswoman. Oh, no, Luke never really made it as a Jedi Master. Han is never redeemed from his criminal past. Let's just reset all of that so we can just hit rewind and run the same story as the original trilogy all over again. Junk collector (moisture farmer) from backwater planet Jakku (Tatooine) encounters a BB-8 (R2 unit) who reveals information that represents the New Republic's (Rebel Alliance's) only hope to destroy the First Order (Empire). Press play, #######s.

I thought the whole point of the sequel trilogy was to establish there actually is no chosen one. There's never a chosen one and the balance will always ebb and flow. It's all grey.

 

That's how they came up with the name Rey. They just took off the G.

I would have liked to see how things would have played out if all three movies were designed with the same vision in mind.  Johnson's movie may have worked without the Star Wars label, but you can't just try to reinvent everything  40 years after the fact right in the middle of a planned 3 part story.  Instead we were left with him tearing up everything Abrams started and then Abrams picked right back up as if that never happened. 

 

Me personally, I had no issue with the repetitive nature of that first movie.  It was fun.  They just dropped the ball big time following that up.

The biggest thing in hindsight was ruining Leia's exit. The sacrifice made by random what's-her-name purple-haired commander would've been the perfect ending for Leia. They seemed to lean into the strength of the female characters and had one of the strongest female characters in sci fi history on tap, yet chose some unknown new character for the big sacrifice...it had no weight.
