@Crucial very true, i did read one of the aftermath books, wasn't a fan of the style but i did like how there were a hand full of star destroyers operating individually, just their captains and crews, and a former advisor to the emperor trying to invoke some authority over them bring them together, it was believable

did anyone watch any Visions? largely crazy "what if?" stuff but a couple were really good

@MN5 havent re watched recently i kind of agree, was just playing it safe
Fair call. I love arguing Star Wars for shits and gigs.
Having rewatched them recently I almost hate them (just for the shits and gigs, I think my thoughts on them are well known on here). If I was a man-baby I would say they ruined Star Wars for me ... but I'm not, I still love the OG Trilogy and a bunch of the new stuff. In 10 years time I'll probably rewatch them again to see if I feel the same way and get into a shitfight about it on the Fern.
Bloody hell, your “Star Wars prequel” Bat senses are as good as your “Hawkes Bay” Bat senses ! Amazing turnaround time !
The Last Jedi is the worst Star Wars movie. By far.
Hee hee, it's not even bottom four for me. (3 prequels and JJ's successful attempt at emulating the prequels for Rise).
this is whats wrong with star wars fans....they do something different with the prequels and the fans are all "theyre not the movies i know and love"...so they they do something very similar...."its just a OT rip off!"
I think (although I may be wrong) that you slightly misunderstood me, I really like TFA, I'm genuinely bemused how revisionist the criticism of it is.
But, RoS felt like a prequel in tone and I don't like the prequels, not because they're different, just their execution (and I'm fully aware that there's a whole generation who came to Star Wars via the prequels so they probably feel about them as I do the original trilogy).
Plus, I liked TLJ, it could have been better but I still liked it way more the RoS.

i think i did mis read your post apologies, i thought you said awakens but you said rise
There are just a couple of big things for me in TLJ that really put me off....they could have given leia/carrie fisher a heroic end by having her force push OTHERS back through the door before drifting into space....but they introduce force flying...make her slightly selfish and kept carrie fishers character after she had died, that and the whole side quest that achieved very little...actually and the whole idea of just going slightly faster...why not just jump past them and then jump back on the other side!...and pretty much the whole republic fleet were in the system that was destroyed?!....calm...i did rewatch and when i can zone out some of that stuff it was more enjoyable than i originally remembered

Yeah, I agree on the Carrie Fisher end, also I would have liked Admiral Ackbar to have been the commander going down with the ship.
I haven't had a second watch of RoS yet, haven't been able to force myself, but will do so at some stage, I hope it improves with a bit of space and time.

@Nepia its the same deal as i have with TLJ, you'll need to just skip past "somehow..." and goonies dagger stuff...and the lightsaber teleporting....

5 minute Star Wars movie.

i watched it last night...was great, much better, if properly produced im sure they would re do a couple of scenes just to make the flow a little better, some of the cuts are a little jarring, add in cinema quality production and sets and we'd have a great film
##spoiler
off the top of my head they have removed the leia chase and reva surviving and her coming after luke

Finished Obi-Wan last night.
Fun watch, a few parts as a non-SW-nerd did have me racking my brain to the movies about jedi powers though.
Always liked Simone Kessell too.

This would have been a sick scene

@Bovidae ive really just got to force myself to get over that fact its a prequel...of a prequel...and we know his ultimate fate
interesting though....the trailer make it look like he has to be recruited as an adult....but his whole character from rogue one was he'd been fighting since he was a little kid

They showed that in the trailer though? The rebellion wasn't around when he was a kid, but he was resisting the Empire/stealing from the Empire as a kid.
I wasn't that enthused by the idea of this series, but the trailer has be intrigued enough to watch. Seeing Mon Mothma more involved in the story is interesting.

As I think I’ve mentioned more than once on here the fact he’s not a Jedi or Mando or even smuggler with cool tricks should make it worth a watch in a different way than other previous material…..and of course it’s Star Wars so I’ll definitely give it a huge chance.
-
@MN5 definitely giving it a chance, i just sometimes wonder if they shoot themselves in the foot by trying to have everything connected, could they have told the same story with the complete new character....so we could at least have hope they survived and grew old in the new republic
