Sheesh- the force is weak with you all!
But to be honest- I feel kind of bad about posting this thread.
My love for star wars III(good) and especially Empire - IV(perfect), has even lasted through star wars V(meh... ok), endured all the prequels (well... I- episode I and III not II) and even (sorta) VII and... NOT VIII!!!!!
Good lord?!?!.. what did I just type?
With the low standards set by VIII, I , myself, had written things off. VIII set the standards sooooo low, the fact they named IX "rise of skywalker" impressed me to the point of being willing to kiss $5 buck goodbye to go see it. Yes- even with the fast and furious pic of Rey flipping over the Kylo's Tie fighter (interceptor?) I'm not even a skywalker fan. I guess with VIII being so bad, there could only be one way to go- up.
I think, in the end, this story is too big for anyone to tell. Everyone has their opinion of how it should go...
It's funny seeing all the "mehhhh" associated with IX. Perhaps all well deserved.
Well- There's always netflix. And even on netflix, I still can't stomach VIII for more than about 10 minutes.
Rogue one was (for me) worthy.
Even Solo was a nice surprise.
I'm hoping IX will edge in like III- better than VIII and II.
In 1980, I never thought I'd be writing all this.
I could also tell you a story of an attractive girl, who, sitting on a boat I made in 1987, admitted she was a huge star wars fan, and fortold of a coming prequel of the clone wars....but that's another story.
