fulcrum1 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I enjoyed both the Force Awakens and Rogue One. Looking forward to it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best SW film since the original trilogy IMO. It was beyond wonderful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) If we're honest with ourselves, even the original movies weren't all that great. But that doesn't matter. The emotional attachment we have to these movies transcends any negative views. I loved seeing Episode 7 in the theater, not because it was a particularly good movie, but because it reawakened (did you see what I just did?) all of those dormant childhood memories, which came rushing back at the first strains of the opening song. It's a feeling that I treasure, especially as I get older. I'm sure E8 will be the same way. I will say that Rogue One has held up to multiple viewings. What made Star Wars special was that nothing had ever been done like it before. It was ground breaking, and to a 7 year old kid, it was magic! In today's tech driven world, a movie would be hard-pressed to capture that magic ever again, because it's become the norm.

Back in my day, we had to wait THREE YEARS between Star Wars movies. And we didn't have no gol-darned fancy-shmancy "interweb" to watch trailers. We had to settle for occaisional unpredictable TV commercials and Starlog magazine, and only got to see the actual trailers in an actual theater. Kids..sheesh. "Last Jedi" does look interesting. Like others, I was a little lukewarm (see what I did there) about "Awakens." It was OK, but it felt too much like they'd simply recycled the plot of "New Hope." I realize that for a re-boot/sequel like this, it's sometimes necessary to ground it by going back to the original source material. I am hoping that "Last Jedi" takes the franchise in a new direction, and isn't simply "the First Order Strikes Back." I picked up "Rogue One" last weekend, and have already watched it several times..I gotta say, it really holds up on multiple viewings. The only complaints I've heard are that it's "too slow" in the middle. I didn't get that impression at all. It slowed down just enough to allow some actual character development, rather than just blasting through a series of loosely connected action sequences. I understand Lucas never liked "Empire," because the director he hired made a movie that contained too much of that boring grown-up stuff like fleshing out the characters and building an actual story.

goondman Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I was 4 years old when the family went to the original. It was a double feature (remember those?) with the Jungle Book if I remember correctly.... My eyes were as big as saucers from the opening sequence on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TaiidanTomcat Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 When I was a kid of course Empire was the "most boring" but as I got older and understood it, it's still incredible. Most importantly it gave "weight" to star wars it made it a true saga instead of a series of action popcorn flicks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadwbg Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Lovin' the Star Wars movie every year Disney has going on. Back in my day we had to wait 3 freezing years between ANH-ESB-ROTJ! Gave us lots of time to play with our toys :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm a pretty big SW fan so I'm looking forward to it. I have liked what's been done so far. TFA got my then 7 year old Son into SW and Rogue One was a nice change of pace from the usual SW movies. Rebels is a great animated series and there's been rumors of a Rogue One tie-in with Rebels at some point. New model kits have been/will be released, the Vader comic series was great...I'd say the franchise is pretty healthy. Its a great time to be a SW fan! Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
