I completely understand not being pumped or motivated to see this one. I just think it's silly and disingenuous when people start going down the I-won't-be-seeing-it path.

Are you aware there's a typo in your profile biography?

Anyone that's seen all 8 movies and saying they won't see this one is full of it.

I'm going to see it and I'll bring the family (I never gone to a movie by myself) but I have to admit that neither of my boys could care less. Interest gone. That may peak up with The Mandalorian but as it stands it's pretty much dad dragging the family along.

Well, Disney has never created a Star Wars Christmas Special, so that is one positive

What? You don't know what a parter is?

What a mook.

Challenge accepted! Though it could be a TLJ scenario where it has great reviews and my wife wants to see it.

But if it were up to me, I'd rather do... almost anything. Also I only get a half day for Christmas Eve, a day for Christmas, and I'm out of PTO. So I'll probably use my limited time doing anything but see this.

Anyone here saying they're not seeing Episode IX in theaters is either bluffing or a liar and they just don't know it yet. Come December 20, all the buzz + nostalgia + the holidays will = the sins of TLJ being numbed just enough to garner a ticket from each and every one of you at some point during the first month of release. I want to screenshot all of these just to see who inevitably chimes in with their reaction.

If I go, it's because i got dragged into it. I didn't see the force awakens until a couple of months before The Last Jedi. I saw Ep 8 b/c i got semi-hyped by Ep 7. I honestly don't care to see it in theaters.

I think the difference is in the genre. Marvel is action/comedy, starwars is fantasy/space opera. The moods are completely different.

TCTTS, I'm only blowing off steam and maybe triggering one or two people for $h!ts and giggles.


Don't be mad at me. I know this is "your house" - you're the Entertainment Board's Don Vito, Brian Earl Spiller is your Michael Corleone and these are your people. I mean no disrespect, Godfather.


However, Disney Star Wars sucks donkey balls. If you've ever been to a Mexican boarder town there are establishments where a woman for a small fee will get up on stage, approach the donkey after applying liberal amounts of Carmex and... well, it's not easily forgotten.


And that's what Disney Star Wars is.

That's all I'm saying.

I hear you. Admittedly, you seem to be having more "fun" others of your ilk who enjoy "triggering" less for sh*ts and giggles and more because they're miserable people.

That said, me speaking up from time to time has nothing to do with this being "my house" or whatever. Despite what some might say, I could not care less about that crap. There are just certain things here that set me off - rants from forum 16 regulars, endless b*tching without being constructive, and hypocrisy, to name a few. Some of your posts have grazed a few of those, and one of my weaknesses is not being able to bite my tongue when I see those things. It's as simple as that. It has absolutely nothing to do with any kind of self-inflated importance or trying to be the board sheriff or whatever.

Still, I appreciate your candor, and actually agree with many of your Star Wars points. I just think they can be delivered better, that's all.

I'll be seeing it in the theater but only because my 10 ten old son said he wanted to. I asked him about it specifically because I was hoping he'd say No. So I'll be contributing to the opening weekend numbers unfortunately, and giving Disney the false impression that I endorse what they did with the greatest original film universe of all time.

Seriously TCTTS, TLJ was so bad that I have only a passing interest in how this last one plays out. I loved Solo and Rogue One, and am pumped about the Mandalorian, but Rian Johnson killed my interest in this latest trilogy. TLJ was atrocious; even my 10-year old thinks its bad. That's saying a LOT when a 10 year old boy hates a Star Wars movie! Purely my opinion obviously, not saying anybody else has to hate it.

Call me a liar all you want, but I would definitely wait to stream this movie if it wasn't for my son.

---

Again, I understand where you're coming from completely. I totally get it. My only point was that there's a difference in saying, "I'm not excited" and "I absolutely won't be seeing it."

I don't believe you're lying to us, but to yourself.

You would watch it regardless.

Search your feelings.

Lol, nice

Ha. I just saw "earl" and the voice in my head changed immediately.

Personally, I enjoyed TFA seeing it in theaters multiple times, and even saw Rogue One a couple of times in theaters. TLJ took all the enthusiasm from me for this trilogy and I didn't see Solo in theaters. On the TV side of things, Rebels added to the franchise imo. Then Resistance came along and it too like TLJ just sucked all the enthusiasm I had for tv projects.

Until the Mandalorian trailer came out, I also wasn't sure if I could be excited about the franchise under the current leadership. While I saddle Johnson for a lot of TLJ, Kennedy shares quite a bit of the blame for that ****show imo. I more than likely won't go see IX in theaters, but may see it once it hits streaming.

See, to me that sounds exactly like what I just said.

Characters doing stuff out of character? Ok, whatever.

You said " it is magic you can do whatever"

He said, "these movies said the magic was X , now the new movies say it is Y. "

Which is different.
