Question?

For someone who's not a huge Star Wars fan but has liked the series to date, should I see this? I haven't read the books btw so I don't care about accuracy.

Will I be entertained? That's all I really care about when I go see a movie. 

[red321]

Yes. It is entertaining

Yes you will be entertained, and will probably like it.  There are holes in the movie, and very poorly written parts/characters.   But as long as you are watching to enjoy and not declare that it is a large part of your life that may or may not be ruined, it'll be fine.

yes, go see it.

this part of the trilogy is not nearly as good as episodes 4-6, and not nearly as awful as episodes 1-3. the special effects continue to improve but it has its' flaws.

Spoiler

Princess Leia is an incompetent commander. Luke basically blasts the Empire to pieces destroying two Death Stars, killing both Vadar and the Sith Lord and she can't keep anything on track, running her last division into a trap and requires her brother to bail her ass out, again.

She sacrifices her lesbian friend in her failed escape plan (yes, it was that obvious), previously gets her husband Han killed trying to negotiate peace with her psycho son and eventually her brother Luke, who was enjoying some retirement time on an Island retreat, dies trying to buy her time. 

She is the Rebel Alliance's worst enemy. A spoiled princess given keys to the kingdom. I was actually hoping her escape pod got shot out of the sky ending that story line instead of this guy's.

Girl power.

I think it's worth seeing in theaters.  Special effects in this scale make the big screen a much better medium.  

As for Rogue One.  I loved it, and thought it was the second best SW movie behind Empire.  Then again, I'm a SW movie nerd, and thought Last Jedi was ranked probably 4th behind the original SW.  BTW, I watched it the other night, then followed it up with Episode IV to see how well it tied in.  And for the most part, it tied in well. 

But a lot of people also hated it.  So I guess it's up to what your cup of tea is.

The visuals and sounds are great, Chuck. You'll be entertained. Unfortunately, that's all this movie did well.

[AngelsWin.com]

Great, thanks guys. I will check it out this weekend when I return from vacation.

[Brandon]

I heard this movie sucks more dick than Jenna Jameson and I haven't seen a Star Wars flick since the 80's, should I watch this?

And are the Ewoks?

i liked rogue one because it was a bridge story and was done pretty well. it centers around the plans for the death star.

@calscuf Did you notice how the women completely shut out the men on their secret plan to take cloaked unarmed shuttles to a defunct rebel base and it blew up in their faces, literally. 

First they fucked up taking on an Armada they couldn't defeat and didn't think they could be tracked in hyperspace, like the empire wasn't going to aquire that technology.

They sacrifice the smaller craft and crews that could have made the second hyperspace jump just so Leia could run her battleship out of fuel to that old Outpost. 

The side mission with ex-storm trooper and fan girl nets picking up a traitor. Who's idea was it to bring the guy along? 

Then Leia gets caught in another fuck up thinking their outdated cloaking would hide their plans of escape and the few that do land it is revealed they have no defenses and the rest of the Galaxy is happy enough to let this rebellion die alone, meaning Leia means jack shit in the cosmos.

Meanwhile what does the last Jedi really accomplish? She didn't complete her training, she didn't save the fleet, didn't kill the emperor or Baby Darth. She shot down a couple of imperial fighters and lifted some rocks. Big help.

More girl power rants.

I'm willing to bet Red loved it though, with all its white male hating, don't eat/hurt animals messages and extreme diversity.

I'll have to agree with you if he says Fin was his favorite character.

See it in a theater with D-Box seats, it gives the special effects an added dimension. 

Buy a large popcorn and drink, it is a long running movie.

Im not a big Star Wars nerd but I have enjoyed the last 3 films more than all the other movies in the series.  Im glad you guys mentioned Broom Boy because I thought i saw him move the broom but when i asked my wife about it after the movie she had no idea what i was talking about.
