I mean the moral of Forrest Gump was "If you do what you're told by authority figures and follow the ultimate authority (mr. Bible) you can succeed even if you're reeruned. Meanwhile if you are a hippy it was because you were molested and will probably die of AIDS." Still, I love that movie. The biggest problem with the Disney SW (and TLJ in particular) is the characters suck and the 'on the nose' social lecturing that takes place. |

The problem with a lot of writing today is that it just whistles past logic whenever it’s inconvenient. When your characters can’t answer simple questions about what is motivating their actions the film usually falls apart or rings untrue (like The Last Jedi). I said it at the time TLJ was released: who are we supposed to care about anymore and why? I’ll see Episode IX, but I’ll see it with a big shrug. |

Yeah that's been all over Facebook for the last 48 hours. It has predictably garnered MUCH meh.
And scorn!

What is the percentage chance that these Sith Troopers are connected to whatever Chuck Wendig teased at the end of Empire's End out in the Unknown Regions? Because that might actually pique my interest if they go that direction.

It's because a lot of people like me went to see TLJ and said "Nope. **** that. I'm done." Boring ass meandering insulting pile of nonsense. |

Who knows? Probably just another toy at this point. I mean the gist of the movie is known, the rest is minimal details. Even Rey's parentage is known, at least the father is anyway.

Nobody buys toys for this new trilogy. And it's alienated the emotionally stunted virgin losers in that group who buy all the toys. Kids don't watch this shit anymore, and they sure don't buy toys like they used to. Maybe an app for their iphone. |

Well, yeah. But it's still a toy. I never said kids were the intended buyer. The stores barely stock the shit because it doesn't sell. Kids want Marvel.

It's kind of surprising how little we've heard about IX considering we're already in August. Here's a new vid put out that might have a few spoilers in it, maybe. Click at your own risk.

Meh, has all the believability of Danaerys turning evil. If it happens, not buying it, if it doesn’t happen, shameful ploy to garner attention to the movie. Either way they don’t seem to know what they’re doing with this disjointed trilogy.
