I returned to the US and my brother-in-law took me straight to the theater to see Star Wars. Fourteen hours of flying on three different planes and then two hours waiting to see a movie.
I still hate it.  RE: Star Wars Rogue One is still playing in movie theaters.

Of course, we have Excalibur and the Knights of the Round-table (who were celibate); toss in some medieval Catholicism mixed with Roman federalism with sprinkles of Nazi fascism mixed with the modern cowboy/Indians mentality of Star Trek (note the reference to the "cloaking device" in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, which, of course, did not have "A New Hope" in its original 1977 crawler -- James Earl Jones also went uncredited), mixed with 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Voilà, you have Star Wars!! But, to throw a little damper on things (for some, at least), watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3a5j8PgQxg 
Star Wars films? I liked the one where all the teddy bears had spears.

It was prequelish. Lots of dots connected but shallow characters and overly complicated plot. Missing the Kurasawa element and there was potential for it. The droid has the most personality of all characters. It is the most free of the characters, too. It chooses its path while others seem resigned to theirs.
Crap, now I have to rewatch it from this perspective.
And it's on sale now at Wally World.

And, it's still playing, even though the DVD/Blue-Ray came out today:

I'll be picking up my copy on the weekend (when I'm not stuck in Devonport).
Haven't seen Moana yet. Probably wait until I can get a copy elsewhere... Still one of my favourite parts of Rogue One is the tie ins with Rebels, the animated series. But, dammit, I want to see Ahsoka in a live action movie. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" |
