I just finished binging the first 2 seasons last week! I don't want to wait until December!
You had me at Werner Herzog.
Ugh. Yeah. The whole reason I got Internet was so I didn't have to sublet my paycheck between 18 different Entertainment Service Providers,You had me at "I'm not paying for Disney streaming service."
It's been a long time, but I remember really liking Jesse's character, except that he did murder someone I think. Was it low-rent Matt Damon? I can't remember. Still, I am looking forward to this.
Not gonna lie, that unfolding saberstaff shot looked awesome.
Meh.Well, this isn't really a trailer, more a first look. But what about Darth 3PO?
I thought Luke was fantastic in TLJYeah . . . No. Just No. You don't take a "3 days old from the fridge bag of Taco Bell tacos and a 12 pack of Natty Light" explosive shit on Luke and really expect me to think you're course correcting from 'subverting expectations'. Nope. George should have held out for SOME story control. *sigh*
Rogue Story was nice.
George's plans for a possible 7-9 would've put even MORE focus on midichlorians.George should have held out for SOME story control.
Explain please. My understanding is that JJ did fine on 7, then Rian came in and fucked everything up royally in 8. I might not agree with all (or many) of the decisions in 7, but it was fine, entertaining, etc IMO. It was 8 that was the facepalm after facepalm of terrible decisions.I can't stand JJ or his whole cadre of terrible, talentless hacks that have taken over so many things I cared about. His Star Wars sucks. His movies are nonsensical garbage and you can't make me give a shit about how much he's going to walk back TLJ just cause.
Disney needed a Kevin Feige or GASP a George Lucas to at least steer their Star Wars in a coherent fucking direction.
Yeah, the marketing department at DC is pretty much crap all around.Everything you just said is 100% anathema to all the advertising they've done.
I thought 7 was ok as a fan movie but didn't carry a lot of substance. It wasn't bad, but it was incredibly safe, and while I enjoyed it, it wasn't something I would ever revisit like the originals or even the prequels.Explain please.

So how is 8 JJ's fault? I don't get that. I'm willing to be educated here though.
Honest question: why is he so popular over there?You had me at Werner Herzog.
This is more my line too? 7 was by the numbers, but 8 did some interesting stuff... it didn't all work (the casino planet stuff wasn't developed enough) but I liked it more than 7.I thought 7 was ok as a fan movie but didn't carry a lot of substance. It wasn't bad, but it was incredibly safe, and while I enjoyed it, it wasn't something I would ever revisit like the originals or even the prequels.
8 I thought was daring and fantastic (casino plot aside) and was actually forging Star Wars into new territory, which made me incredibly excited. But then there was a neckbeard backlash and an anti-sjw backlash and now I'm convinced that everything new introduced in 8 will be undone in 9.
This. Plus the TERRRRRRIBLE callbacks to the old movies. Really out of place.I fell asleep during Rogue One and I still haven't managed to watch it all the way through because the pacing sucks.
Probably because WH likes getting inside the heads of his characters.Honest question: why is he so popular over there?
