[QUOTE="Chico, post: 522529, member: 4123"] Just back from 1st viewing and enjoyed it (certainly more than I thought I would). IMO it was a near impossible task to try and wrap up all these movies - in some ways if JJ had focused on tying up less of the loose ends or having a longer run time the movie might have felt less rushed - it certainly packs a lot in. In a lot of ways it plays like a greatest hits of the previous 8 movies repeating or paying tribute to iconic scenes. Whilst this was fun I found I wasn’t emotionally invested in any of it, not even the Leia scenes, but I still enjoyed it for what it was. I was almost in tears at the behind the scenes trailer that was played before the movie started though. It would have been good if ROS had taken a few more risks and left a bit of mystery like its predecessor. I know this isn’t a popular opinion on this forum but I loved TLJ (in spite of its flaws) and although I don’t really understand the hatred for that movie, I’m genuinely sorry that it seems to have ruined the wider viewing experience of new Star Wars content for many of you. A break from the big screen will hopefully be a positive step and a chance to reset a little bit. The Mandalorian is excellent and provides hope that great new SW stories can be told on the big and small screen, which can also strike a good balance between nostalgia and charting new territory too. At the end of the day it’s fantastic to have any new SW to look forward to. I hope you all have a good Christmas all when it comes! 😀 [/QUOTE]
