But it was limited to a handful of episodes.

I guess I feel like a lot of the mystical items in Rebels had groundwork from CW (Nightsisters, Mortis, Sidious feels like straight sorcery at points). Rebels does spend a lot of time delving into the nature of the Force though, but I never really felt like it got "weird" like Clone Wars did at times.

ROTJ was my favorite Star Wars movie growing up. It's not perfect, but I'm a sucker for a redemption story I suppose. I don't enjoy the updated version, but the despecialized one is so on point that at times I'd willing to put it #2 in on my list.

Rancor scared the **** out of me as a little kid.
I got in trouble at the pool more times than I can count motioning to my friends from the diving board and pretending to be Luke Skywalker about to jump into the pit.
Luke force choking Jabba's guards.
"I am a Jedi like my father before me" - chills.

So if the Emperor really is back in this one, I hope the opening scene is him lighting-bolting Kylo Ren to death and then taking over as the real big bad. Oh, and throw Rose in there too. The trilogy would then be saved.

I think if ROTJ had wookies instead of little furry guys made for marketing, most people would have it up there with ESB. But I think that's somewhat unfairly used to dislike it. Overdone.

Get rid of the only new character with an interesting story arc up to this point?

Are you talking about Kylo or Rose?

It seems like they were trying to fix all of the problems in one film which is almost impossible.

My concern, having read all the Reddit leaks, is that ROS is more complicated than it needed to be to wrap everything up. The negative tweets seem to be implying the same thing.

Wondering if...

"too much fan service" = "ok boomer!"

If it panders to the traditional fans does that mean it repudiates TLJ on some level?

This basic sentiment has been expressed in multiple tweet reactions.

Oh I've already determined this will probably be the first movie that my kids see me cry while watching.

Also, I just had In & Out burger for the first time (this was my first time on the West Coast). Good but nothing special. Fries sucked. Hopefully I will have a little more time to explore this area when my sisters and I are back for Star Wars Celebration in August.

I fly back to NYC/PA tonight, and then I will be back in TX for Texas Bowl, Cotton Bowl & WHATABURGER next week.

The fries are hit and miss. They have potential, but yeah, they usually suck. I'm headed back to Texas as well, on Saturday, and per usual my first stop after deplaning will be the Whataburger in the Love Field terminal. Nothing else compares.

So is the movie. Everyone was walking to the after party like "holy **** I am exhausted. Emotionally drained. WTF WAS all that!?" Kathleen Kennedy asked my sisters what they thought and they said "Overwhelming." The potato salad tweet is funny because the final act pretty much had me thinking "no, stop, this is too much! I can't handle all of this at once. DON'T MAKE CRY! I WILL NOT CRY! I LOVE YOU STAR WARS!"

---

After all the b*tching and moaning on this board about Kennedy (from myself included at times), I find it hilarious that one of our own actually found themselves in a position where Kennedy was literally asking what they thought. And even better that the answer in return wasn't a pandering "It was great!" but "Overwhelmed." I don't why, but that kills me. So good.

I was shocked that she stood there and talked to my sisters for a good 10 minutes and gave them her business card. I don't know what the hell they talked about besides my sister asking if Rian Johnson will be involved with the new ones (yes). I need to stay on my sisters' good side because they got quite a few Lucasfilm business cards last night after already getting Johnson's at a film festival a few months ago. The goal is internship/job and that would be pretty freaking cool if it actually worked out.

Man, that's awesome. Sounds like they certainly know how to network, which is half the battle out here (if not way more).

In all seriousness that is awesome to hear.

TFA had a couple of those moments. Nothing in TLJ, at least for me. Invoked almost zero emotional response.

I want this movie to jack up my emotions. Whether it's old characters, or the new, something that rattles my cage.

I truly believe that is the best Whataburger in the country

Dude that is badass... incredible you got to go to.

So your sisters are writers? How did they get these invites? That's like the most coveted ticket in Hollywood I'd imagine.
