The Last Jedi (non-spoiler mode)

[Dave B]

...I have a bad feeling about this...

As an aside from the movie, there was a funny bit on NPR after interviewing a movie critic. They asked folks what their favorite quote was from any of the Star War movies and had them do their best impersonation of it - hilarious. And funny was the critic’s favorite quote wasn’t even English: “Oonta goota, Solo?” (“Going somewhere, Solo?”)

saw it. liked it. dunno if i'll ever love it, but i'm positive i'll end up owning it in some format eventually. of the new films, i prefer rogue one.

daveb and gemship, i'm there with you in age. grew up with it in my youth and (growing up in LA) went to school with children of some of the crew. but watching it with my own kids does change the lens thru which i view the franchise. they'll never be as invested in the original core characters as i was so i don't begrudge disney for moving the story along from them.

that final seen with luke and leia tho --- all the feels.




spoilers - mild



disagree with the fan gripes for the most part, tho there's too many to digest them all.
the snoke thing is what it is, a vehicle to deliver ben to wherever he's going to end up. much like the emperor was to vader. in that regard, i'm glad we didn't spend that much time with him. don't know if i care to know his backstory

it did start off weak with the whole 'do you hear me now?' skit.

i actually liked the (non) reveal of rey's parents.

my own gripe is with the casting of adam driver. he just feels out of place in this universe.

I once tried watching a Star Wars movie, but lost interest halfway through. I'm glad I never had a teacher who assigned me to watch one of them, let alone all of them in two weeks.

Maybe if you had a teacher who had you watch the movies you could have learned a lot more.

Saw it yesterday. Five dollar admission. $5 bucks! Glen Art theatre in Glen Ellyn IL.
