Star Wars VIII: The Epic Fail

[Highway Star]

I remember the first time I saw Luke Skyewalker shredding the gnar at Killington. He was so awesome they even named a mountain after him, Skye Peak.

Meanwhile, Rey remains the character most likely to carry on the Jedi tradition, having piloted the Millennium Falcon to the remote island where Luke is hiding, although he proves a far more reluctant teacher than Yoda ever was. (The green guy makes an appearance here, surprising once again with the extent of his abilities, and from the looks of it, Johnson — or someone at a very high level — successfully made the case to go back to a practical Yoda puppet consistent with the original trilogy, as opposed to the smoother but somehow phonier-looking CG version featured in the prequels. In another nostalgic touch, this film was actually shot on film, rather than digital cameras.)

Revealed as a bearded and cloaked recluse at the end of “The Force Awakens,” Luke is funnier than we’ve ever seen him — a personality change that betrays how “Star Wars” has been influenced by industry trends. Though the series has always been self-aware enough to crack jokes, it now gives in to the same winking self-parody that is poisoning other franchises of late, from the Marvel movies to “Pirates of the Caribbean.” But it begs the question: If movies can’t take themselves seriously, why should audiences?

So you, of course picked the single negative review in the world.

Would expect nothing less from you.

We are grasping at straws to make this ski related. What year did the first Star Wars Movie debut in? Was it before or after the current peak names? Admins can make the decision?

Luke dies.

So, I take it no one else has seen this and thus can't comment on how horrid it is? Honestly, its not even worth pirating. Check out some of the youtube reviews, they rip it to shreds.

I'd say the Force Awakens wasn't quite as good as the Phantom Menace, which I thought was generally a pretty decent movie, with it's considerable flaws. I didn't like Rogue One at all.

The Last Jedi.....well, I struggle think of movies (in the fantasy, sci-fi, action or thriller genre) from the last 30 years that I've seen that are worse than it, and I've seen almost every major movie. It's a steaming pile of sh*t. Hell, I watched the Baywatch and Chips movies in the past few months, and while far from being works of art, they were objectively better movies overall by a long shot.

I'm actually watching the Star Wars Despecialized Edition right now (high def cut of A New Hope with all 1997 Special Edition tweaks stripped out, available online if you know where to look), just to restore my faith in humanity.

While I thought Star Wars: The Last Jedi was a decent movie, I just watched The Greatest Showman which is an epic movie... easily the best musical I've watched.

This movie is still absolute garbage.

It's a propaganda/political action film in a classic wrapper.
