Ep. VII was more like a remake of Ep. IV. Starkiller resembling the death star, Hux being Tarkin, Kylo was like Vader, you get the point. I feel like there could have been more, however it was adequet. One part I did not like was when Rey picked up a blaster, and with two shots, she is a pro. (Mary Sue??)
Ep. VIII was a rabbit hole. It stunk. Badly. Let me get this straight. Admiral Ackbar gets a backscreen death? Or how about when Leia falls out of the starship, and flies back over like green lantern? Luke's pathetic whining about being a failure. It was poorly written.
Dude I 100% agree with that. Plus, in VII Rey magically wields a lightsaber with NO training, and is able to combat Kylo, who had been trained by Luke?? That's not how that works! Not even Luke could do that!
And it was the poorest story writing I have ever witnessed.....
Then VIII came, and Ackbar's sudden death almost felt like a joke-- this no longer is canon in my mind, Disney can't just poof and piff characters here and there with absolutely no thought involved for the storyline. A child could have written it better out of his/her pure imagination, rather than these "professionals" trying to recreate magic without having any vision but money.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU GUYS TOO. VIII was the worst,so long and boring,just a bunch of flashy set pieces a boring chase sequence full of plot holes and so many mistakes it could have ruined the franchise unless 9 somehow unlikely makes up for it. Oh and not to mention Ackbars shameful death with should have been switched with Holdo's at least along with Mary Poppins Leia.
I also cant believe they chose to kill off Luke in the second movie after only having him for like 30 seconds in TFA & to have Luke as a miserable annoying farmboy bum again for most of the movie. XD. However I recon Luke is not dead and teleported to the force netherworld/death realm to get a greater understanding of the force and can return alive and well. I hope he doesn't return just as a force ghost cos that would be boring and you wouldn't be worried about Luke getting killed meaning there's no tension or threat. Also I wanted to see a long hair Luke fight Kylo with his classic green saber but prequel lightsaber duel style. Im talking Mustafar,duel of fates style action here not a mere fake out Mexican standoff. VII was okay and a bit of fun despite being a rehash of episode 4 for the most part. Kylo,Finn,Maz,Chewie,Leia and Hans death were interesting additions though,Solo was okay with some brilliant and some poor casting choices in terms of acting. I didn't really like Emilia Clarkes acting or Alden Enreiches & Rouge One was by far the best new SW film with awesome scenes and an awesome soundtrack. RO is definitely a top 3 SW film for me.
Oh, I can't wait. My brother is a psychopath, and I literally mean it. He is not a violent person or has the urge to hurt, but he does not feel emotions anymore. He genuinely asked me what does joy feel like because he forgot how it feels. I wonder how he would like this movie...
Also, is it going to be allowed in U.S. or just in Europe?
Thank you. I have had a deep passion for it for a while. Philosophy particularly peaks my interest. It is the basic understanding of human life and the universe around us.
Ok...um. I was not expecting that sort of response TBH XD . When you say Psychopath how bad do you mean. Is he the sort of person who calls himself one because hes a teenager and going through..... you know what and thinks its cool to seem dark/shady?, because one of my best friends could be like that at times when trying to seek for attention and be outrageous for the sake of it. Or is your brother seriously one? If so its seems you and him are like the Ying and Yang siblings or Arcann and Thexann from SW the old Republic considering you want to aspire to be something considered admirable,good for the community and well respected.
Also,I know its not really for me to say and its entirely personal but Im curious why you don't want to have a family or children one day as by becoming a Roman Catholic Priest your not allowed to. Is that right. Im sorry if I crossed the line or anything man. I mean no offence by this.
Also a close Belgian friend of mine is studying philosophy too and they love it. I would probably have studied the same if it wasn't for my overwhelming interest in film or maybe business studies as my teachers said I was good at it. But most people that choose business studies just have money on their mind and are arrogant you know whats. Its the same for film actually,sometimes more so.
Granted, he is a teenager. I don't know him to be an attention seeker, however I am willing to be wrong on that one. He does not cry, does not genuinely laugh. He does not feel sorrow. Only anger. My family has never been a trend-following family, save for my half-sister. His emotions are shallow. In fact, we went to a friend's wake a month ago, and he told me he just couldn't feel sad for the family. Now, he gave them support and told them to call upon us if they need anything, but he can't feel much of anything, but anger.
You crossed no lines. Why don't I want to start a family? You know, I never gave that question a lot of thought. Probably because I wouldn't be there that much for them. If I wasn't going to be a "Herald of Zildrog" (Milbro that's not canon!!!), I would have been an animal forensic scientist. That would mean I would spend all my time away from home and at work.
Living off coffee, of course.
I fell in love with it at around age 14. Sadly, philosophy in America is dead topic. Unlike older times, where philosophers were held in high regard, the only jobs you get here are teaching and religion. It is a shame, really. The minds of some greater men were philosophers. Film is a good place to go, if you have the mindset, and if you want the green.
There's always some sort of hope, because they really can't get much worse now.
Not the Leia we used to know really.
I know, Disney has already squeezed the life of Star Wars already.
Have you heard of that new resistance series?
I have not, what is it?

Exactly, there was so little thought behind it, it was shameful.
Mary Poppins Leia
Yeah, Luke isn't dead he is surely alive,
Living on the inside, forcing like a Jedi.
Exactly! There's no good action anymore, just setup and drama for nothing.
I actually enjoyed Rogue One too, but I still rank it below the original 6
I agree with what you're saying, we demand more action! More action!

*Supreme Chancellor Rick Degga appears.* Ah, Lady- Who are you?
I must have picked it up for the wrong Sith. Another one of these days.
I am Lord Bron, Sith Lord of political debates and negotiations, as well as manipulations. To whom do I owe the pleasure of speaking to?
Well I suppose I can talk to you. I am the Supreme Chancellor Of The New Republic, Rick Degga. I am calling to speak about an incident on Tridana concerning two Sith, some of my troopers, and several others.
Basilisk war droids decend from the clouds, Xan-Qar and a handful of mandalorian dissidents dismount and approach the group.
"Did you lose your way to the Jedi temple?" A passing NPC sith scoffed.
"Not all those who wander are lost." At this the snickering sith fell to the ground, smashed. What might've been his corpse began to blow aswy in the wind. Xan-Qar had found a holocron in his wanderings... His holocron.

Hey guys. My life has gotten real busy lately and I think I may be slipping back into inactivity. I'll try to come on when I can but for now, this is a temporary farewell. Great talking with all of you.
It's an animated TV show, which looks like it was meant for kids, but is aired at 10:00 p.m.
10:00? Goodness, children are being trained to stay up so late nowadays
