Yeah, well unfortunately cos Last Jedi dropped the ball it does hurt FA. Also i think JJ did say that they wanted to honour the Prequels... but man, an interesting 8 months ahead.
I think the timing of Disney+ launching in november is deliberate, just a month before Ep9.
People would have watched the by then...
Hey to each their own. To me Attack of the clones is the worst Star Wars film ever made, phantom menace is poor but somewhat redeemed by Maul. But why Lucas killed him off I’ll never know. I don’t mind Revenge of the Sith but i just don’t like Padmes ridiculous death “she’s just given up”. She has 2 facking children now ffs. And i don’t like anakins turn, other than that it’s decent and i can sit and watch it.
That’s why i get why people don’t like the new ones, even though i disagree and personally like them, it’s all subjective. Things i hated in the prequels you guys might love about them. And vice versa with the new ones.

I think that’s actually quite likely.
Didn’t Disney say these films would be the conclusion of the skywalker story? If Rey is a skywalker (by parentage) then the story isn’t complete really.
If we assume Leia and Kylo don’t make it to the final credits alive (good chance I’d have thought) then labelling force sensitives as skywalkers keeps the name alive but allows the story of Anakin, Luke and Leia to end.

Funnily enough, I enjoyed FA when i first saw it in the cinema but looking back, the movie has not aged well and it's clear my nostalgia and love for the originals blinded me. TLJ was a similar affair and I think it's flaws ultimately have diminished FA as a movie.

Good to see you've finally seen the light Guv. Can remember you gave me such a hard time for not liking Force Awakens when it came out . All is forgiven
I'm honestly expecting it to be as obvious and unimaginative as Rey being a Skywalker. Not sure if it's worse if she's Luke or Leia's child though.
She'd have to be Luke's unless Leia suffered an attack of memory loss for nine months. So Luke's daughter that he never knew about.
Throw in Kylo redeeming himself as well somehow shortly before he dies at the end of Episode 9 and you probably have the movie there in a tin.

I had 2 gripes with TFA.. they killed Han.
And that outstanding piece of technology being an after thought. But Star Killer base was a mad mans creation!
But it played second fiddle, so the threat didnt have that weight to it.
Other than that, thought it was a great 1st film to kick in this new era.. now it feels disjointed. My concern now is, Disney don’t need to back themselves into a corner saying its the end of the saga. But they have, so most think Ep 9 is it. So the pressures doubly on to get it right.
But Rey can’t be Luke or Leias and Kylo cannot be redeemed. Just cant happen.
Don't have a clue where the story is going, obviously, hoping for a good one.

“Bring back the knights of ren and lets see what evil deeds they carry out.”
How can they bring them back when we haven’t even seen them yet?
Kylo not being redeemed is just a personal choice, cos he killed Han.. (soz spoilers).
He can be redeemed, i may not like it.
However, Rey being a Skywalker is lazy to me, especially as in 2 films no one has even suggested it, and it would feel like cop out.

I still think Rey being Palpatine's descendant is a real possibility. Makes sense of the laugh in the trailer and would at least go some way to explaining her natural power.
Also an interesting tap into Kylo's fear - he's worried he'll never live up to the legacy of Vader and then up rocks the grand-daughter of Palpatine/Sidious! Could explain why he lied to her and said she was a nobody.
Either way, I don't think there's any redeeming of Kylo. Perhaps if they'd kept Snoke alive then Kylo could have turned back to the light to beat Snoke but since they killed him off (total waste of a character btw) then Kylo is the only villain in the story.

Not really. He had more or less the same amount of screen time as Palpatine in the original trilogy. They just killed him off a movie earlier
Comment deleted by Site Moderator
Yeah but i just don’t know why people get so mad about snoke when he was the emperor character of this trilogy and they used him in pretty much the same way as the emperor.
I thought kylo killing him was cool anyway, further solidified his descent into the dark side for me. The one thing that i won’t be able to take is if they do try to redeem Kylo, at every juncture he has chosen the dark side. There is no light left in him, have him be bad this whole time please.
