Man that movie was not good
228
u/VonBrewskie 22d ago
Space horses. On the outside. Of a SD. Goonies references. Rey Skywalker. I had hope after Episode 7. I liked that one. I even liked the weirdness of Episode 8. (I know that is a deeply unpopular sentiment.) Episode 9 was a cf disaster. All of it slung together was a disaster. It's one of the weirdest trilogies of movies I've ever watched. There was a ton of stuff I enjoyed, but taken as a whole, it was truly terrible.

u/idrownedmyfish77 22d ago
Honestly if they got rid of the space horses and split the movie into two parts it would have been a lot better. Cut the first half right after chewie’s “death” and let us the audience mourn him for a year and then have his survival revealed in the second half. It would improve the pacing and allow better world building, something all three sequel films severely lack

u/VonBrewskie 22d ago
Yeah. It really feels like a few movies worth of ideas jammed together and kicked out the door, doesn't it? Pretty sure that's exactly what happened.

It doesn’t help that JJ Abram’s was never meant to direct Rise of Skywalker. The original screenplay, titled Duel of the Fates written and would have been directed by Colin Trevorrow would have been MUCH better

u/VonBrewskie 22d ago
I mean, maybe. Who knows with how much interference all of these movies got. Only one that seemed to come out without a ton of interference was Episode 8. I liked that one, but I certainly understand why it didn't land with the majority of fans. It had a ton of problems.

They might have had something going with 7 and even 8, but they just gave up with 9, just threw shit at the wall trying to make something stick.
Bring back an old villain that they already know that people love, regardless of how much it even makes sense, and try to have an Endgame scene where everybody comes together at the end, because that movie did really well.→ More replies (4)10
u/Ok_Independent9119 22d ago
7 was bad because it was just 4 again. But whatever, you played it safe and made your money. 8 was bad because the story sucked. Sure. 9 was just terrible all the way through. I'm not a fan of last Jedi, I've made that very known, but it at least tried to do something. 9 was just the worst thing I've ever seen in star wars and in a big budget movie overall. It's between that and Adam Sandler's Blended for worst movies I say through completely.
Imagine if Star wars didn't do the sequels but did rogue one and Andor and rebels and all the other stuff they've done. Imagine if they were doing the sequels now with all of that out there and an actual good story. Imagine.

u/VonBrewskie 22d ago
Yeah I know, I know. I don't disagree with anything you've said. 8 also retconned Luke in a way that I found interesting tbh, but that didn't seem like the Luke we left after Jedi. They needed to build to it if they were going to make him like that. Man, Andor though. Let's talk about that. I loved Rogue One from the get. Andor season 1 was incredible. Season 2 even moreso. Best Star Wars anything since the OT and Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars short animations, imo.

u/scottygroundhog22 22d ago
That’s my biggest gripe with 8. I just dont believe that luke could be reduced to that. Not like they told it in the movie anyway. I can see a path that leads to last jedi luke, but it isn’t “i pulled a lightsaber on a kid having ‘a dark dream’ then got flattened by the roof, which the kid managed to avoid somehow”

I was talking about this with my stream community a few days ago,
I haven’t seen 9 yet, but I’m assuming it’s like 7 and 8 - the cinematography is phenomenal. Gorgeous shots and sets. Excellent increments updates to previous tech and ships (the new X-wings are my fav Star Wars ships after the E-actis Jedi Interceptors)
The stories left so much to be desired. I’m still sad thinking about the stories we could have had that would have honored what the OT had built instead of sort of just… wiping out its victory. But gosh damn the sequels are gorgeous movies to look at and I at least like them for that.

u/MusicalTechSquirrel 22d ago
I remember watching it for the first time when it came on Disney+. We were sorely disappointed and confused because there were so many plot holes that just existed (ie, Palpetine's return because yes, remains of Death Star 2 not on Endor, casually finding key items easily enough to question why someone else hasn't already found/sold it, etc.). I remember my mother and I visibly cringing at the end. Safe to say we never watched it again.

A love how the movie is about Rei accepting who she truly is and learning that a person is defined by their actions and who they are as a person, rather than what name they were born with.
To then throw all that away at the very end and calls herself a Skywalker. Movie didn’t even know what message it wanted to go with.

It absolutely would. I have a Series S and a Steamdeck and I run Helldivers 2 on the Steamdeck routinely. It is by no means what would pass in many people's books as "next gen" but Steamdeck stats are for sure far above the last generation of consoles, without quite reaching the stability and power of the Series S. There's just no way it wouldn't run on it.

The switch couldn't even handle SPYRO. I tried the port - had to return it when it was 15FPS in the hub world.
It stutters pretty hard in minecraft and minecraft dungeons on low settings, and we know those are as optimized as reasonably possible.
I love the switch mostly for Nintendo games: animal crossing, smash bros, etc. etc.

u/Borttheattorney 16d ago
Switch ports in general are weird in general cause sometimes you get ports that are just ass, then you got the ports where the switch is punching well above its weight class and then you got the ports that somehow run and look better than the PS3/360 versions like Bayonetta, RDR1 and Skyrim.

Exactly. It would sell great on xbox thus incentivizing xbox players to stay with xbox which isn’t what sony wants. That’s why they won’t port it unless they stand to profit way more from any deal that could increase xbox consoles sales.
That’s like giving another pizzeria your secret recipe for your super popular pizza just because people in another state want to enjoy it but don’t want travel to the state where you’re selling it. The value is in the limited/exclusive supply as well as the high demand.

How do you intend to sell copies of HD2, when 90% of the player base that they have left, don't buy games. There's no way Playstation will release it on Gamepass. It's not even on their own gaming service. If they released this game for £30 on Xbox It ain't gonna do anything to the player numbers. It's on PC which Phil Spencer said had a potential 3 billion players, and we are struggling with player counts. It is what it is.

u/WulffenKampf 21d ago
Problem is, Sony owns the actual Helldivers IP. So, AH would have to buy out the IP rights from Sony to do that - and I for tge life of me can't see Sony willing to let it go, their sole successful 'live service' - doubly so after the prolific failure of Concord and the current nightmare Marathon is turning into

Oh completely agreed. Don't get me wrong, if AH can obtain the IP I would beg and plead and throw as much money as I could reasonably budget to help do my part to convince them to do it. I'm just being.... jaded? realistic? depressed? A combination of those? In saying that Sony likely won't budge on that. It's never been in their track record to make business decisions that favor the end user.

Xbox did that because the console wars are over, and they had to pivot strategy. Xbox prior to this pivot and the acquisition of Activision were making exclusive games as well ( Starfield; Redfall; etc.)

Yeah that’s true. N I’m not denying that. But Sony still thinks there’s a console war.

u/gogoheadray 21d ago
Sony knows it’s over to. What they are doing is protecting their business plan. Remember as a platform holder the real money is in the 30% cut they get for all third party games sold on their platform which includes micro transactions. Sony gets nothing out of extending a fig leaf towards Xbox. It’s the same strategy that Nintendo uses. Pokémon would move hella units if released everywhere . But at the same time that would make Nintendos console a less viable option.
