Was hoping he was striving for Ozymandias.

I don't get why Rain Johnson gets praise for this. It's not like he wrote it. All the shite RJ gets for TLJ is because of the terrible story choices, not the camera angles.

Remember back when George Lucas was the problem? Those days seem like so long ago now.

The Force Awkens still holds the domestic box office record. You were buying crap already.

But he directed it, and it was one of the best hours of television. He sucks, but I'll give him his credit with that. Sometimes there is accidental genius when you surround yourself with brilliance and everyone feeds off each other.

Sadly, after TLJ and their need to have a Solo stand alone film I decided I was done with Star Wars entirely. that hurts to say. I was 7 in 1977 when Star Wars came out, and I grew up with the trilogy.

Honestly, I don't give a single frick what he decides to do with it t this point. They can have what they seem to want...an entirely new fanbase.

To be honest, I wasn’t watching this even before I read this.

Doesn't matter to me. I'll be hitting up Wikipedia after it is released to find out what happens and if it reads good on the page, and the consensus here is solid, I'll go see it in the theater.

But they won't be subverting jack shite this time because I'll be going in 100% spoiled.

You can pretty much read the plot of it now at r/StarWarsLeaks.

Maybe SPOILERS

















So Anakin meant absolutely nothing...Darth Vader meant absolutely nothing. The OT was a huge waste of time.

I really hope he’s just paying lip service

I hope that plot leak is real.

It will be a total shitshow when people realize that Palpatine in Episode 9 is a ripoff of Voldemort from Harry Potter.
