We did it for TLJ as well, definitely the strategy to use for big event films moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is hands down the best part of TLJ. I hate when sequels to movies from 10-20 some years ago do exactly what the original did. Reality doesn't work like that, and I love that about TLJ. Really looking forward to this. Will have to go absolutely radio silent until Tuesday probably. It doesn't bother you that the thing you like best about a movie is something it didn't do? Rather than what it did do? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it's epic, with a lot of surprises both good and bad. I'll blame Rian :). I feel like that's a really really bad sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never stand him before because he was portrayed as this BAMF when I always felt he was just a little *****. This one portrayed him as human, but with BAMF potential (that he actually lived up to in that final “fight” with Kyle). I will forever love TLJ for how it portrayed Luke Skywalker. FOREVER.

Or they are trying not to have another TLJ backlash and are pandering cause it may be average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a perfect movie. Leia’s force thing was cringe. Rose was cringe. I will not let those two tiny things ruin a movie I otherwise love. Sorry I’m not a sourpuss.

Won’t be as bad as TLJ but I’m assuming it will be a pretty average movie overall with a couple great moments and one great light saber battle. As for Force Awakens, it is hardly something I consider a movie cause it’s just a remake of A New Hope. Like watch both movies on two screens. It’s utterly ridiculous. So TFA is hard for me to rate. If New Hope didn’t exist? It’s a 9.25/10ish movie. But since New Hope Exist it’s more like a 8/10 to me, at best.
