reply

ironically, empire strikes back is the only star wars movie that is actually good

reply

If he wanted to stick it to WB, he should had called it 'The Rise of Skywalker'.

so... starts in the middle of the story. is a bunch of incoherent scenes strung together. no ending. but super duper cool so we all pretend it's great?

reply

honestly this is exactly what i thought of Dune 2. Just got out of it and a lot of scenes are excellent but there's no ending and the story is pretty incoherent at times.

I'm surprised to see Nolan as a Star Wars fan, his sci-fi movies are so much better in comparison. Interstellar alone is 100 times better than all 9 SW movies combined, I'd like to see a huge franchise growing around it.
