They had a lot of good will with me after Rogue One. Amazing set pieces, convincing villains, etc.

The Last Jedi got me all slanty eyed, but in the back of my head I'm thinking "well, JJ Abrams can save it again... maybe."

The Han Solo movie should be impossible to screw up... but I do not like how the actor talks, much less looks. Seems too aloof.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST ASIANS?!?

The "Rogue One" teasers/trailer looked awesome. This one looks kinda meh.

Looks kinda meh. I want to like it, I’ll see it. There’s almost no way Ron Howard can screw things up as badly as Rian Johnson has, so there’s hope.

One MINOR problem I have is Han saying something about wanting to be the best pilot in the galaxy or whatever. OT Han doesn’t care about stuff like that. He cares about money. He doesn’t give two shits if anyone thinks he’s the best at anything.

But maybe that is what the movie is about?

I, for one, support the idea.

They can use all the time-reduction tools and insta-teleport that they want, and it will totally make sense and lend itself to the narrative.

The more i think about it the more I dislike it. I came out of the theater really only upset with how they treated Luke and the og trilogy... but still thinking initially that it was still better than any other post RotJ Star Wars aside from Rogue One. Now I just can't stand it. It's a shade above AotC to me.

I still liked it, despite its flaws, and feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I've been in agreement with the 99% of SW fans my whole life and suddenly Rouge One (garbage) and this movie put me at odds with everyone else.

The movie was long, had some bad Peter Jackson-esque editing, and had a few hokey Disney TM moments, but I really didn't see anything that could raise the level of ire this much.

I'd start with it taking everything good about the first three movies and leveling taco bell shits all over it... lol

it's all good though, agree to disagree. Rouge One was garbage... but Rogue One was straight fire.

That's lunacy. AoTC is a bad movie with even worse execution. At worst TLJ was a bad movie executed well.

Attack of the Clones is so bad it's hard to even fathom something being that bad. It literally has zero redeeming qualities.

How could you say such things???

The dialogue and characters were amaze-balls.
