No booze whatsoever.

My inner Withnail is going bananas at me.

Second time around, I enjoyed the film far less.

I could actually understand why many folks hated it. There were some epic moments but it just often seemed quite a bit naff at the other times. I have to say that Adam Driver and Mark Hamill are the two best things about it. Especially Driver whose performance is excellent.

I recently rewatched both Force Awakens and Rogue One and I think that those 2 films were of a much higher quality. Last Jedi seems a bit lazy and far too complacent. I'm glad that there was an audience backlash as it sends a clear message to Disney that they need to work harder on such things.

I'll be interested to see Solo to see if Lucasfilm can turn the situation around. I'll also be interested to see if the proposed SW trilogy by Rian Johnson really does go ahead (that was announced before Last Jedi had been released).

Current rankings of the ten films to date:

1 - The Empire Strikes Back
2 - A New Hope
3 - Return of the Jedi
4 - Revenge of the Sith
5 - Rogue One
6 - The Phantom Menace
7 - The Force Awakens
8 - The Last Jedi
9 - Attack of the Clones
10 - The Clone Wars

Apologies for the double post but here is a brand new Solo trailer:

Take the names Han Solo, Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian out of that trailer and it's just another bog standard CGI action fest. However the three mentioned may well have a bit of spark about them perhaps in the dialogue scenes.

It didn't move me one iota. Perhaps if they'd used original saga Stormtroopers it might have felt real. I mean. Did the Empire change their uniforms every year. It's not the England football team, although Disney treat it like it is.

What's this....

A dissenting voice?. So the honeymoon period is officially over then?

I would dump both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi right out of you're Top Ten Symbiotic. They don't even deserve to be in positions 8 an 7. Disgusting, shocking and damn right disrespecting the Star Wars legacy. What is this world coming too.

Next will have Chewbacca coming out as bi-sexual.

I'd probably go a lot easier on Attack of the Clones were it not for the fact that there is absolutely zero chemistry during the important romance scenes between Anakin and Padme. It's really difficult to imagine that the two genuinely fall in love, Anakin just comes across as creepy and annoying imo.

I've really enjoyed the recent Star Wars films, but my reaction to the Solo trailer at the cinema was a was resounding "meh".
