Star Wars:The Rise Of Skywalker

[ChrisWilson68]

To me, Rise of Skywalker didn't feel tied into the themes of the previous movies at all.  Most of the big developments in it came from out of nowhere.  They weren't earned in any way.  Suddenly Palpatine is back?  It just completely disrupts the flow of everything in the first six movies (which more or less hang together as an integrated story) and it completely disrupts everything that was going on with episodes 7 and 8.  It seemed like the worst kind of retcon.  It threw all logic to the wind.  It made most of what happened in the previous movies kind of pointless.

There was a lot in episode 8 I didn't like -- but it seemed like in trying to fix some of the problems with where episode 8 left things, episode 9 replaced those problems with other problems that are just as bad.

Rogue 1 is by far the best of the post-Lucas Star Wars movies, in my opinion.  All the rest are worse than the prequels (which I never thought were that bad, just not great).

Just for comparison, here's a little time capsule moment from the past, in a debate between film critics of the day over the original trilogy:




Roger Ebert's comments about Disney could be seen as prophetic.

I thought it was OK, 7/10.  Could have done with some pruning and there were a bit too many side branches not followed up.  But glad I went.

I still think the best star wars movie is Rogue one.  Solo also good.

A supposed previous script that was thrown out:

Seems like it has a lot less of a thrown together feel.

  This item in Ochi's ship looks familiar, doesn't it ?   

 

  It is strikingly similar to the guard of Apollo Lunar Module's Alignment Optical Telescope (AOT):

   

 This can't be a coincidence, but I am surprised no one has mentioned this before (?)
 Can anyone confirm this is indeed a nod to Apollo ?
