Yeah, I pre booked tickets for the first and second nights and then for the following weekend. I was regretting it half way through the first viewing!
Each to their own but I probably hate Rogue One more than any other Star Wars film I've seen.
Er, maybe... But I was talking more psychology how you know it's gone by the age of 39. Maybe you're fine walking until your're 70/80 - who knows - but that's another matter.
Haha, that's true.
Although to be fair, the Donner Cut removes #2 as I'm sure it has that scene where we see the cops taking them away!
True.
On a kind of related note, I was laughing lately when watching Adywan's ANH Revisited (a fan edit).
When George Lucas made his "special" editions, he did all this stupid stuff like adding Jabba into the first film, yet he didn't even do the basics to actually make the film better.
e.g. This Adywan chap changed the Falcon cockpit to show they were moving at light speed when Han is talking to Leia after they escape from the Death Star. The original film just has a star field in the background! And there's a shot of R2D2 replying to threepio also in the Falcon, only R2 is still on the Death Star!
So it made me laugh - Whether it was Lucas himself or Disney they do this stupid superfluous nonsense and it's actually just fans fixing details which actually improve the film!
I think one understands that their life value, exuberance, spirit / whatever you want to call it is effectively over at 40.
Sure you can rail against it for a bit but psychologically you certainly have the formation of understanding that the cheque's in the post. So yeah, it's okay thematically to describe 39 as old...

Couldn't count the OT and prequels but a lot.
I know I stupidly saw TPM three times within the first week it came out though!
Rogue One once because I was so offended by the stupidity and continuity breakage it caused that I refused to ever watch again.
I've never seen Solo because it followed on from TLJ, which as per Rogue One, I saw once in the cinema and was the final straw for me.
So that's one view each for TLJ and Rogue One and zero for Solo and TROS.
I agree with what you are saying on one level but like I said, within the film series continuity, the plot hole manifests in 6. Not 3.
Revenge Of The Sith is in no way a retcon of ROTJ.
It is Episode 3 and ROTJ is considered episode 6. So within the film continuity itself, 3 creates the plot hole which shows up in 6. Although I do appreciate your real life understanding of why that happened...
Schmaltz. The king of cheese.
And the same people who said Trump getting in would mean certain nuclear war the first time he took office!
It's actually too deep...
I absolutely love it but it's just so thick, I'm struggling not to burst out in tears in front of the missus on multiple occasions!
I'd paused watching this since posting these comments as it was too much but I've just restarted.
What happens? I'm dealing with Frank putting his career in the line on principle so some busted up loyal cop gets his pension and then Captain Freedom gets shot in cross fire and dies in Mick's arms!
Incredible, moving show...

That's the problem. He clearly isn't the actual, functioning President and probably hasn't been for some time. The democrats tried to deny, as they'd rather cover that up, than face Trump in Office. And the republicans seemed happy to just laugh about it.
But there's still no real answer - Who is / was running the country?
And once he's gone, does everyone just pretend this didn't happen, and just blindly believe that Trump is?
Well it was a different time in the 70s. Women weren't allowed to do anything and knew there place, so you can't really blame Obi-Wan...
Joking aside, we know from ESB that Yoda must have told Obi-Wan off camera, once Luke had disappeared on his way to Bespin:-
Obi-Wan: "That boy is our last hope"
Yoda: "No. There is another..."
Obi-Wan: "Well? Spit it out then..."
Yoda: "You won't believe this but it's actually Princess Leia! She's Luke's twin sister. They were separated as infants but we thought it wisest not to tell you incase you landed up blabbering about it to Anakin."
Yeah, exactly.
Aliens isn't terrible but it's very clearly more of an action film of its time. Plus that problem with the film gain is unbelievable! I can hardly bear watching it.
And yes, I haven't seen the latest one yet but otherwise Alien 3 is still closest to the original in terms of horror.
Sorry, yes start with ANH (or whatever they could freely call it) and reboot the entire OT.
Obi-Wan was sitting in Tatooine doing nothing when Luke was eighteen, showing no evidence of becoming a Jedi. Sure he trained him for ten minutes in the first film but that's no reason why he'd just assume Leia was a no hoper.
But it was made in the 70s, so maybe he was just being sexist and assuming women couldn't do anything, hence "That boy was our last hope...".
But seriously, making a proper OT-ish sequel trilogy to the prequels would be the way to go.
Could get rid of all those issues like Obi-Wan forgetting about Leia, Anakin not being a great pilot when Obi-Wan first met him, Uncle Owen thinking Anakin should have stayed on Tatooine, the force having nothing to do with midi-chlorians, Leia remembering her mother who died in child birth, Han Solo not believing in the force even although there was Jedi everywhere just twenty years before, etc, etc...
[quote]Anakin wasn’t even in the OT so there’s no need to get him involved.[/quote]
😲 Anakin Skywalker is <Spoiler>Darth Vader</spoiler>! He's all over the OT...
Obi-Wan thinks Luke was their "last hope" in the OT. Yoda has to remind him of Leia, even although they were both there when they were born!
If they rebooted the OT, they could fix errors like this.
A sequel trilogy 4-6 to fit with the prequels is what we need!
That line de-canonises the prequels though, as Obi-Wan was clearly present at both births and therefore could not describe Luke as "our last hope".
One of the reasons I view the prequels as being in a separate continuity to the OT. The prequels work much if you can do that.

Unbelievable. Just posted this, then was having a look on Twitter to find Blackrock trending:-

Honestly, I think we're all total clowns here. Said to Mrs FootOfDavros earlier this evening it wouldn't even really be that surprising to find Putin was in on the swindle...
