Does anyone else feel that Star Wars was practically ended in episode 6, and they appear to be recycling the skeleton of the old trilogy plot?
CNN — not about the news. Just about telling the stories that a pre-determined audience is hoping to hear. That’s how CNN makes money.
Star Wars — not about the telling a good story. Just about telling the stories that a pre-determined audience is hoping to hear. That’s how Star Wars makes money.
Crap sells. Welcome to America.
I liked all the Star Wars movies except for the second half of “Return of the Jedi”.
That is until the one came out with the storm trooper who has blood on his helmet. I watched maybe a half hour then could not watch any more.
Not sure what has been done since that one.
Yup. Episodes 1-6 were fairly (and unofficially) subtitled “The Redemption of Aniken Skywalker”, a grand story arc achieving completion.
“Rogue One” could fairly be Episode 3.5.
Episode 7 was a big money attempt to one-up what people remember (plane killing weapon in particular), and get encore appearances of the heroes.
