The amount of effort and coordination and honestly luck it takes to make any film: hundreds of craftspeople, thousands of hours, enormous financial risk, it’s kind of a miracle every time one gets made. Even a seemingly vapid and empty blockbuster represents insane coordination and labour. There’s some very competent stuff in here. The hallway shootout scene, there’s some great visual spectacle, Finn, Poe and Chewie’s reaction to Leia’s death plays so well, and the cast generally have great chemistry despite barely sharing any screentime collectively in the previous two films, so while there’s a lot of stupid shit in this movie, I don’t hate it.  These sequels are so separate in my mind to the original trilogy, especially with the glut of Star Wars ‘content’ that’s come out in the years since that I simply cannot bring myself to care about, so much so that I’m able to watch this now as…

what the fuck

Stupidly idiotic

I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is worse than Attack of The Clones. It's lifeless and dull, it has awful cinematography and score, It introduces new characters and never develops them. it has wooden performances. it constantly makes idiotic decisions during the movie. Chewbacca surviving was ridiculous, General Hux being the spy is pathetic. every time I think I feel emotion, I realize that it's just manipulative Disney, trying to throw in nostalgic characters, and interactions, because we actually care about them. And of course, the finale is one of the dumbest, lamest finales I have ever seen in a movie. The only good thing to come out of my experience with this movie was that because it was so bad, and I needed to cleanse my palette I was able to watch a Simpsons episode, that now became one of my favorites. I

CONS: -Feels longer than it is; -The kiss is very much the worst thing I’ve ever laid eyes on; -The Lando and girl thing is really just Disney wanting to sell more franchises; -General Hux is suddenly pathetically bad at pretending he’s not with the resistance(?) -Makes this trilogy feel like two directors with no general plan fighting for who gets to choose how the story goes PROS: -Babu Frik! -Has great action and visuals -Successful comedy sometimes  -I liked how the Emperor looked merged with the machine -Everyone's acting was great, specially Adam Driver's

If you are not this* or that* then you don't matter in this nine movie saga. :D

It's not a navy, sir, it's just... people. that scene is what redeems this whole space opera despite all of its inconsistencies and corny ass execution. theres something so moving about the idea that the ultimate weapon against a super strong mega evil fleet isn't a bigger ship or a secret fleet, it's just reqular people with the same values choosing to show up for each other! BUT, the pacing. the "deaths" (chewie, zorii, c3po) are undone so quickly that they lose their impact. it just tries to do too much in too little time. ALSOOO, the idea that a dagger would perfectly align with the wreckage of a Death Star that had exploded a long time ago???? i need to talk to whoever thought of that, id like some of the crack they were smoking during the fruition of that idea. this one just pales in comparison to the other star wars films
