After the RoTS there was no resistance. 99.9% of the jedi are dead and viewed as power hungry traitors, while most of the galaxy sees the Emperor as a hero for holding the republic together and ending the war with the separatists.Next Star Wars film should be after Revenge of the Sith and show how the Imperial Empire snuffed out most of the resistance
I would like to see a film focused more on the Empire/First Order rather then the other side for a change
That's what episode 7 should have been IMO.Ok then set a movie between ROTJ and TFA showing the war that ultimately ended up seeing fall of Empire and the rise of First Order and Cold War like peace between Republic and FO
Surely the massive fleets and soldiers of the Empire didn't simply melt away just because a joke of a storyline involving Ewoks destroyed Death Star 2.0
Same. Whether I also like the movie or dislike it every review I've watched from her I find myself constantly thinking things likeGotta be honest: Not a fan of her reviews, especially the MCU ones

Solo was up against it for it coming off as a gigantic cash grab,issues behind the scenes, and early reviews being mixed at best. Not to mention it is directly competing with Deadpoool 2 and is competing indirectly with Infinity War. I know, TLJ is the most disappointing thing since my son and Kathleen Kennedy is awful and everyone's childhood is ruined, but come on.Maybe The Last Jedi did more damage to the brand than haters like me even thought it would.

As far as the movie is concerned, I was pleasantly surprised by the majority of it. The first hour and a half was great and a fun little romp into Han's past with new characters (L3 was great), a tasteful utilization of how most things came into place, and a simple plot that keeps things moving at a good speed. The last half hour or so really fell apart, though, and I don't know if this was because of the change in directing or what, but they could not tie up really anything all that well.
As far as the acting, I didn't have an issue with either Alden Ehrenreich or Donald Glover as Han and Lando. Were slight variations on the original characters but not enough to bother me in any way. Emilia Clarke was also surprisingly good.
And in one of the last scenes of the movie one of the strangest characters shows up out of the blue:
****ing Darth Maul is alive based on the EU and apparently runs the Crimson Tide or whoever. Whyyyyyyyyyyyy
Does he get killed between now and ANH? Does he experience memory loss and become a farmer somewhere? If they were going to have some sith apprentice or lord pulling the strings they should have had a younger Snoke, giving us a backstory of him sitting in the shadows waiting to make his move anticipating the end of the current empire. Could satisfy those who hated the fact he didn't have a backstory and open up the potential for more of him in other movies.
About what one would expect from Ron Howard--competency devoid of originality or creativity. The movie functions, but nothing about it really matters.
(Also, maybe it was just my theatre screen, but the 3D/Imax processing was so dark that it called attention to itself constantly as it often was impossible to make out not just fine detail, but faces and actions--did the producers run out of money for lighting?)
I'm aware of that, but I think showing up in this particular movie was sort of silly. That character should have separate motivations than anything going on in this movie and I don't think belongs.Yeah, the acting was actually fine. The characters could have used some work, like Dryden Vos and Enfys Nest (killer theme though!). Those two were definitely the weak points. I myself did not care for L3.
Response to your spoiler:
He's been alive since the Clone Wars CGI series, which is canon. In this series he becomes power hungry and eventually becomes the Mandalorian leader. He's also hellbent on getting revenge on Obi Wan. I suggest looking up his episodes in this series and watching them. He shows up in Rebels, too. If you want to find out what happens to him in that, read the next spoiler.
Thanks to a Sith artifact, he tracks down Obi Wan to Tatooine. The two fight and Obi Wan quickly kills him. This appears to be a year or so before A New Hope.
