I’m seeing The Last Jedi tomorrow. I’m all for a film that has the balls to do something radically different to any previous entry in the franchise. Something that moves it forward to potentially exciting new vistas, but has the right balance to have enough callbacks to the spirit of the original trilogy, to keep it from having a sense of disconnect to those films, but without the heavy-handed references to what it is tied to, as The Force Awakens had. I thought The Force Awakens was pretty good as a set-up for everything to follow that successfully relaunched the brand, but it just played it too safe pandering to nostalgia with the aforementioned overused blatent references, and was a near beat for beat remake of A New Hope. This is what annoyed me about it. It’s at least better than the first two prequels, but I think Revenge of the Sith is superior. I think Rogue One is the only addition to be on par with the original trilogy, and just pips Return of the Jedi to make it into my top 3 Star Wars films. My current rankings before seeing The Last Jedi: The Empire Strikes Back A New Hope Rogue One Return of the Jedi Revenge of the Sith The Force Awakens Attack of the Clones The Phantom Menace

Take what you want from this, but apparently the working title for Episode IX (due in 2019) is 'Black Diamond'

Me too Apart from the CGI mess of Peter Cushing and Carrie fisher in the film I liked it But I would have liked it so much better had they not CGI'ed them both,For me that was disrespectful to both of them has they have passed away. |

Fisher hadn't. They wanted to show her younger to tie in with A New Hope ,that was all.

They could have easily used an outtake from the previous films or just show a back view or sideview there was no need to CGI it!! The CGI Cushing was bad enough.

Personally i didn't mind the CGI characters. I think it made it a better film. So i won't continue this and just agree to disagree. |

Went to see The Last Jedi this evening. It was ok, too up and down though, the highs were awesome and some of the production design was flawless (Snoke’s chambers) but between the highs was purely mediocre. That being said though, Adam Driver gives me the funny tummy feelings
