Well George invented Star Wars so I could see why he might've struggled to let others contribute to his world if it didn't fit with his vision of it. But I doubt Kathy is even really a fan. She's only interested in pushing her agendas now that she has the power and a significant outlet to do it |

I was actually kind of disappointed the way they portrayed Luke as an older man when I was watching the movie yesterday again. I mean they did a great job making old Ben very wise as a great version of Obi- wan but Luke as an old man seemed like a coward and apprentice who had much to learn in the body of an older man and didn’t seem like the extension of his older self like old Ben. I don’t know, I think implimenting him as the one who tried to kill Kylo originally was weak for Luke’s character. I wish they would’ve made it so it was Kylo who attacked to be honest. I still can’t seem to figure out how Luke died at the end, wether it was old age or just literally using the force passed his control to the point his body fell apart or what. As a side note I always love how Yoda in any form has a way of dealing with any situation as if it is nothing. Yoda always seems to have a lesson to instill whether it be Luke or obi wan or whomever but the force ghost was a nice addition to the movie. Watching it again always makes you see things you didn’t see before.

Tbh I'm going to go into episode 9 fairly open minded given AOTC was IMO the weakest movie in the franchise. I still remember seeing ROTS in theatre... twice.

Hope it's not another flashback Man I wonder how JJ will salvage this. There's no way this movie won't be an absolute mess |

TLJ completely annihilated any chance of 9 being decent. It would take a far more talented filmmaker than Abrams and some gutsy retcons to get anything worthwhile out of this. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't even make it up to a billion at the box office. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it made a billion either  Solo's box office and TLJ's reception put it in some really uncertain waters right now and I highly doubt another Knights of Ren appearance is going to be the "Make it all better" button. |

So I wonder why we haven't seen them yet We saw them briefly in a flashback but honestly you got to remember th TFA and TLJ take place within a span of 1-2 weeks. It's not like they could shove a lot in I guess. That's my biggest problem with TLJ is that there no time jump |

I really wish that Abrams would have directed this movie. I feel as if Snoke would have been given a backstory, Luke may not have died and that we most certainly would have been given another step towards Rey’s parents and identity. I feel like changing directors was really stupid because Abrams set up TFA in a way that was completely different to how Johnson decided to go with the flow in TLJ

In an interview George clearly said he wouldn’t have killed Luke either on a side note. So far Solo was really the only “good” release we have had from Disney so far to be honest.

There's a lot of big changes and risks in TLJ, whether it's choosing to kill Luke and Snoke, not giving a time jump between TFA and TLJ, or deciding to handle characters a certain way. Even though I have mixed thoughts on a lot of what occurred in TLJ, I'm mainly waiting for IX to see what it does to finalize these stories and events. I think it's a little unfair to judge everything in TLJ harshly without seeing the final picture, even if it seems clear that the sequels don't have a defined path compared to the previous trilogies.

If JJ retcons everything in 9 then it will be a little better but it still means he had to salvage a failure... Rian didn't make these decisions with plans for the future, he made them because he wanted to and it was poor filmmaking on his part. As an individual movie I'll probably still think it's bad but if 9 makes up for it then maybe I will hold the sequel trilogy in a slightly higher regard. I guess like the prequels.. |

We needed a stand out lightsaber duel. Anakin vs Obi-Wan and Vader vs Luke (TESB) I would say were the most memorable of the previous trilogies. We needed Snoke vs Luke but they're dead... So what Rey vs Kylo a second time? They better make it good

We needed Snoke vs Luke but they're dead... Well, we saw ghost Yoda using some pretty powerful Force abilities and Darth Maul arrived getting cut in half... so... How about ghost Luke vs Spiderlegs Snoke? |

I think they purposely showed that so wild speculation wouldn't happen |

I really didn't pay attention but why didn't they just have him do all three for the sake of a flawless story direction? I'm excited to see what Abrams has to offer in order to put the series back on track as much as he can. |

Probably came back because Rian ruined his vision. I don't think he expected the next director to be so retarded that he couldn't simply follow up on the set up storylines and not kill anyone important |

"“Due to a film schedule conflict”, Billy Dee Williams will not be able to attend this year’s Saskatchewan Entertainment Expo, possibly indicating Lando Calrissian really will return for J.J. Abrams’ Episode IX."

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
