Just wondering what your thoughts are about after the 9 part series is finished. Will it make sense if when all the movies are watched back to back? And will Rogue One and Solo fit into the mix? Since we probably wont be getting that Obi-wan movie, then we will just end up with 11 movies total.
shareRogue One and Solo make sense in the context of Episodes I-VI.
The sequel trilogy, to this point, does not. I’m extremely skeptical that Episode IX will change my mind.
Rogue One does ... but Solo ... not really.
There needs to be another Solo movie (no, not the Qi'ra movie that was the focus of the entire film) that actually tells us how Han Solo ended up being the badass he was in the OT ... since he was an actual moron in last years flick, which bombed.
Ending the Solo film on a cliffhanger was the stupidest thing ever, it's arrogant that they actually thought that fans would just eat this story up and want to see a sequel. Honestly they need to do something in Episode IX to make VII and VIII make sense because as of now the franchise is an incoherent mess.
shareIts all finished now. Just seems like it ended on a flat note. All the OT characters are dead except Lando, R2-D2 and C3PO. What has Lando been doing this entire time?
shareMy guess is... sort of.
With one production team doing films 1 and 3, and another doing film 2, there are going to be plotholes. Oh sure, they'll make some effort to slap it all together, but at best, there will be plotholes.
It makes sense right now. Do you expect episode IX to ruin it or something?
shareI think its too late for that. Ep 7 already ruined it by rebooting the franchise. I am just hoping that Ep 9 wraps everything up nice and tidy and doesn't end on cliffhanger.
shareIt makes sense...like sex with a first cousin does😂👍
shareI'll need to take your word for that.
sharePretty sure you can take ANYONE'S word for it😂
shareI never knew anyone who knew how it feels to have sex with their first cousin until now. I'm not saying it's just you. I'm just saying it's not as common as you seem to think it is. Sorry.
shareI never said it feels like...I said it makes sense like...reading comprehension is your friend👍
shareYou're the one that seemed to be bragging about your experiences with your cousin and how it made sense to you.
shareBragging? You're a funny little troll😂
shareYou start talking about having sex with your first cousin, and I'm the troll?
How does that work?
I never talked about such things...first grade reading level not serving you so well now is it?
What I said was...if you think this movie makes sense...you probably think scoring with a family member makess sense👍
"It makes sense...like sex with a first cousin does"
I didn't read that wrong. It says "sex" "with" "cousin" and "first".
Like I keep saying, I haven't had the experience of having sex with ANY cousin to be able to verify your assertion of how much sense it makes. Mainly because whether it makes sense or not has not influenced my decision to not have sex with a cousin. I've never even had to struggle with the dilemma that it might make sense or not.
Blah blah blah...twinA is here...f*** off👍
shareGo and fuck your cousin some more.
shareOnce again...I said cousin boinking makes no sense.
Reading Is Fundamental👍
No you didn't.
"It makes sense..."
... then you threw in a bit of personal background about you and your first cousin(s).
If you want people to infer the opposite of what they read in your posts, don't expect the promotion of you and your extended family's peccadilloes to do that job for you.
Royalty used to do that you know... Keep the inheritance in the family. Boom-Shocka-Locka! (O_o)
It would fit right into some of these intergalactic dynasties.

The prequels often make no sense when watched alongside the OT. This won't be any different.
shareThis is somewhat true. There were good ideas in the prequels and the back story kind of fit in with the OT. George needed an editor and a good director when he was writing and filming episodes 1-3. Sadly he had neither.
shareTo me, right now the only thing that really makes sense is the Luke/Han/Leia/Kylo plot. I know this is an unpopular opinion but I'm perfectly OK with it. Luke was never really the idealised hero that people seem to imagine, to me he was always flawed and way out of his depth if you compare him to how the Jedi were in the prequels. He never really mastered the force, and was never really a true Jedi.
That said, everything else just seems like nonsense. How did the First Order rise and create mega-weapons so quickly and what was their motivation in doing so? That wasn't really made clear especially since Snoke was killed off so casually without any explanation as to who he was.
Rey is the other wild-card that came out of nowhere. Who is she and why is she so powerful? Her motivation seems to be finding her identity but her force powers were never something she apparantly had until their adventure began. In fact I don't remember when she even discovered she had powers, it was so unmemorable. You just kind of go into the film expecting her to be a Jedi since the film was promoted that way. Then in the second movie she's as powerful than Yoda because...i just don't know.
tfa was clearly influenced by a marketing team as it was off the back of a $4b investment.
This is why there are so many random and out of context characters & plots since it appears to be tailored to 'what people would most identify with the SW brand' and just all shoe-horned in, with extra special instructions from KK regarding the physical requirements of the characters as well.
It doesn't matter how rey got the force, just that she has it since 'the force' is what people identify as being a core part of the Star Wars(tm) brand.
It doesn't matter that Han Solo is randomly a smuggler again, since 'Han Solo = smuggler who files the MF with Chewy' is what people identify as being a core part of the Star Wars(tm) brand.
It doesn't matter that the resistance/empire somehow rose out of no-where with unlimited resources since 'the white suit bad guys' is what people identify as being a core part of the Star Wars(tm) brand.
It doesn't matter that no-one had any idea who emperor snoke was since 'the emperor' is what people identify as being a core part of the Star Wars(tm) brand.
It doesn't matter that a Planet Killing Death Star Killer base is ridiculous in both scale and how simple it is to defeat since 'the Death Star' is what people identify as being a core part of the Star Wars(tm) brand.
Could go on and on.
Of moron johnson was left with a mess and instead of trying to run with this convoluted mess of a story setup, he did his own typically moronic thing and impressively made things significantly worse - quite a feat when you think about it.
I agree with everything except laying more blame on Johnson. He was handed a totally disjointed clusterf*ck of a story to salvage together & while he definitely failed his options were confined in a way that Jar Jar "hack" Abrams was not.
That's why i place most of the blame on Jar Jar & the corporate commitee that could have told any story they wanted but settled on an utterly uninspired, cheap & disjointed soft reboot of the OT
I can dig that ... rian was left with a junk pile of a story ... but I still think he made things worse. But yes, he is not 100% to blame.
shareIf they spend another 20 years fleshing out history with more cartoons and novels then yeah, they'll eventually connect all the dots.
shareEven tfa doesn't make any sense, so they weren't off to a good start.
The only people actively defending this trilogy seem to be obsessed with the physical characteristics of the characters in the films instead.
Uhhhh...no. :-)
