Ep IX

Ep IX
I have no interest in this movie, but wherever I look there's an ad for it. And when you see the reasons people are planning to see this movie in the numerous internet articles, it also seems as if they don't have intrest in seeing it but rather have a relationship with Star Wars. They always start with how they went to see the oldest movie and then they try to impress us with details they remember from that night in 1977.

Or maybe it's the story how they first saw Special Edition in the 90s and it's always with dad just after divorce, or brother that is now dead, or sister that is now insane or mother who is now carrying her head in a basket, or with an aunt with whom nobody speaks about.
And then how they were unexpectedly growing up in all that time because they still feel like children.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I haven't seen any but the first three (or the middle three - the counting is weird) and I thought they were terrific.

But I agree.  Star Wars anymore seems as much propelled by inertia/nostalgia as by anything else.  And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I will not watch it at the cinema. I'll wait until it is released on blu-ray/DVD.

RE: Ep IX
The only Star Wars movie I REALLY love is the Empire Strikes Back. It's a perfect film. I still like the rest - even the shitty prequels - because I grew up watching them all

This new trilogy has been so... meh. Not awful. Not good. Just sort of there. My excitement for Episode 7 was off the charts, but in the past 5 years, I've sort if stopped caring.

I will be seeing this in the theatre.

The last movie was utter shit wit plot holes I could fly a death star through, but this is the last movie in the Skywalker saga and, while I have little faith in Jar Jar Abrams, it does wrap everything up.

I was disappointed in how derivative EP7 was and how badly the story flowed, that I kinda lost interest.

Here’s one of the annoying contradictions:

Han Solo can fly the Falcon through hyperspace with such accuracy that he can bypass a planetary shield.

But the First Order can’t jump ahead, in open space, of a hundful of ships just outside their weapon range?

Ship class difference

The  millennium falcons a smuggling vessels modified for infiltration (smuggling) and hyper accurate long and short range jumps 

Star destroyers are not designed for short range jumps and instead work with smaller faster ships using them to engage first bog the enemy fleet down then hammer them when in range .

This is proof the First Order like the Empire before i misuses it's ships

I still can't figure out why those Oompa Loompas in bear skins haven't taken over the Empire yet.
