"I love Star-Wars, and don't think that there's been a bad film from the lot, personally I think that The Last Jedi has been the best of the lot and it knocked A New Hope of the top spot in MY all time favourite films. Cal." I don’t think any of them will beat The Empire Strikes Back Even though 7/8 have way out played 1-3, they are predictable in that follow a similar background story of 4/5. I’m expecting similar from 9.... | |||

Cal. I don’t think any of them will beat The Empire Strikes Back Even though 7/8 have way out played 1-3, they are predictable in that follow a similar background story of 4/5. I’m expecting similar from 9.... " Empire strikes back is a masterpiece. A new hope was my least favourite of the original 3. ROTJ I liked, I greatly enjoy the emporer. Ian Mcdiarmid plays him so well. The problems with 1-3 is that George lucas had way too much control over everything. The man is amazing at giving an outline and shell of a story, he is terrible at screenplay and directing, especially directing people. There is a reason why empire is as good as it was, it is the movie he had the least control over. If he had similar control over 1-3 they would have been much better because the story arch was good the screenplay and directing is what suffered - the acting in places was bad that is also partially the directors fault just as much as the actor. 7 was OK, it helped reclaim some original trilogy magic back, however mostly through nostalgia of Harrison Ford and chewie. The movie itself was plot point for plot point nothing more than a new hope reboot. With the exception of Rey, who is far too powerful at that point in the movie. So that brings us to the abomination of the last jedi... The movie that its sole purpose was to shatter everything that came before just because it could. The director himself admits this (well he trys to play it up like it was a good idea), actors and even JJ Abrams said that Rian Johnson threw away, and went his own direction completely from the brief story outline JJ had created with TFA. TLJ was weak, it had pointless plot lines that went nowhere, it avoided fan service for the sake of intentionally pissing people off. There is a reason it is the most disliked and majority hated star wars movie. Even people who slated 1-3 religiously are rating it lower. 9 has a lot to make up for and a lot to live up to. It needs to go out with not only a bang but also a satisfactory conclusion - not a total rehash of what came before but certainly not "subvert expectations". | |||

Without reviving the original characters, the force awakens and the last jedi would be pretty thin. The CGI is breathtaking and light years away from Lucas using models but still doesn't make them good movies. The new characters have massive expectations to live up to and so far they haven't. It will be interesting to see what they do when Ewan McGregor returns to the franchise. | |||

"I'm looking forward to episode 9. Although right now I'm far more interested by the first episode of The Mandalorian in November. Seen the trailer and looks like, if they do it right, that it could be an epically good series. On the flip side they could balls it right up..." This ^ Im looking forward to The Mandalorian much more than episode 9. I really, really hope they dont screw it up. | |||

"Got my tickets booked. Must be some other fans on here? " Star wars fan until the last jedi. 1 of the worst movies ever made. 1st time I've never been excited for a star wars movie. Even George lucases terrible prequels couldn't diminish my hope and excitement completely but the last jedi made me lose all connection to the force awakens too as there was no continuity at all. I'll watch this at Xmas just to watch something and go cinema and feel I'm enjoying Xmas otherwise I am not expecting anything good at all. The trailers as usual were ok and probably better than the movie will ever be haha | |||

"Always excited for a new Star Wars film. Will be at my local on the friday lunchtime the day after release. Does need to be an improvement on the Last Jedi, but I enjoyed that too. Rogue One is my favourite of the lot by far..."  I bloody loved Rogue One. The new trilogy has been a bit of a let down for me but that doesn't mean I'm not going to watch it | |||

Rogue One best stand alone movie "Rogue one is the notable exception in the current Star wars ceespool. Good movie with likable characters and a tragic ending. Vader's fight at the end was brilliantly done | |||

You need new characters can’t have 70 year olds running around trying to save the galaxy from the evil empire haha "Carrie Fisher will be in the movie............But like I said Star Wars fans can be unforgiving. They nearly drove the guy that played Jar Jar to suicide. They also showed no love for Hayden Christansen who played Anakin Skywalker in revenge of the sith. | |||

Do you mean that there is a fight against fascism and imperialism, well that was going on from the start. Or that major characters don’t have to be white and women can be kick ass?

Fans can be cruel but actors shouldn’t take it personally, it’s a row against the story writers and not the actors. Anakin was just bad casting.... a pretty boy supposed to turn evil and into Darth Vader a character do well known. My biggest bug with this is when the changed the ending to ROTJ and the Anakin from 1-3 ghost replaces the original actor from 4-6 !! | |||
