Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

What I’m Hearing...

Rise of Skywalker is absolute trash, as expected. Congrats to Disney on fucking up a Star Wars trilogy after a promising start to it

    You could argue it peaked after Empire

    Might as well let Michael Bay direct the next star wars movies.

    Harrison Ford I'm sure demanded to be killed off. And he demanded 20 million. Shit series, shit movies.

    The icing on the cake was Leia flying through space. The worst scene in cinema history. I LOL'd in the theatre..didn't really go over well with a few people around me.

    Star Wars was pretty fucking cool to a 10 year old kid. I remember hiding out in the theater so we could watch it a second time because we thought it was so cool the first time. I'm not sure if my dads felt the same way. I know I haven't given a fuck about a Star Wars movie since maybe Empire. The fucking Ewoks ruined the whole thing for me.

    The only good things in the Sta Wars universe since Empire are Slave Suit Leia, Rogue One, and The Mandalorian. Everything else has been shit. Well, I thought Solo was just above shit, but not great. It's devolved into a GI Joe movie in space now. Joke.

    Luke Skywalker going back to face Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi was where it all peaked. Downhill from there...

    Star Wars is for kids, Star Trek is for adults. The reason people think Stars Wars sucks, is because they grew up and wanted Star Wars to grow with them.

    Clone Wars and Rebels are good too. Otherwise agree.

    Except for Solo. That was a piece of shit.

    I thought Solo was okay. I am the only person I know who thought that.

    Solo was shit. Not because of the script, which was mediocre. Because of the cinematography. Heey, we've got all this money and scifi shit, lets have horrible lighting and framing because we gotta make it GRITTY

    Han Solo was shit because of Harrison - he only has one facial expression - the concerned we are in danger look. Even if he does comedy.
    all the lighting in the world would not improve that expression.

    I pretty much don't like any Star Wars other than the original films when I'm in the right mood. Sci fi ain't my bag, baby. BUT Rogue One actually was pretty decent and if I liked it, it must have not totally sucked.

    Certainly an Abrams movie. If you liked TFA, you'll like this one. If you liked TLJ more, then you probably won't. Tidy, but rushed and lazy at the same time

    In other words, nothing special?

    Yes

    Maybe it's unfair that we put SW on a pedestal and under a microscope at the same time, but it's impossible to make one that truly captures the mythic magic of the originals. At least TLJ tried to be fresh. This one wasn't

    I thought it was kind of a fun movie. No real issues with it. It's definitely not a steaming pile of shit like the new trilogy but nowhere as good as rogue one.


    Just ditch this whole empire and Skywalker thing. Write a good story that happens to be in the star wars universe. Profit.

    Read the spoilers bc idgaf at this point. Awful. Won't see it in theaters. Probably won't even watch it at all. Sad to see how far star wars has fallen.
