Anyone looking forward to Star Wars episode 9? Why or why n?

Not really. I didn't like The Force Awakens (all they did was remake A New Hope) and The Last Jedi had its moments, but left me a little unsatisfied.

I'll see Episode 9 out of curiosity, but I'm not expecting much.

Now ^that^ would be a movie!

I've never been "take the day off work to dedicate a day to a movie's release" guy. I took a day off to see Rogue One. I was a little disappointed, but not devastated and still hopeful for the future of the franchise. I had never looked forward to a movie like I did TLJ. I took the day off to see it. And I was devastated, losing all hope for the franchise.

Will I see Ep. IX? Probably not. I don't know that I want to see anymore harm done to the few remaining characters I like. Rose braiding Chewbacca's fur to the maudlin sounds of Adele? Is that something I'm going to see that my eyes can't unsee? Not only that, but my interest in where the story goes after TLJ's shitty developments is far too low to waste a "it's my turn to pick the movie" card on another Disney Wars film. Best if I just take my wife to some Bronte novel that got optioned again as a film and save my card for the next Vince Vaughn comedy.

I will, however, visit this site and ask if Snoke or his story makes an appearance in the movie. If so, I'd go see it.

....

Well, to paraphrase that Nadine character from Mr. Plinkett's Prequels review:

"Let's watch Episode IX. I wanna see how this fuckin' schlock ends."



Abrams did Rian Johnson no favors by forcing Luke Skywalker onto that island in order to not get in MaRey Sue's way. Karma's a bitch. I hope his film gets trashed worse than Star Trek Into Darkness.

I was convinced I was going to hate LAST JEDI, and then I finally got around to seeing it (was invited by a friend, as he hates going to movies alone), and ended up really loving it. So I am now looking forward to Ep9.

I wanna see what they do with Leia, of course, but I would have even without the real-life events that happened. Just seeing how she would handle having these last couple hundred people, Luke's broken lightsaber and final apprentice, the Falcon, her friends (Chewie, 3PO, and R2), her faith in Ben's salvation gone, husband gone, brother gone, and having realized her old allies are not there. And now, in light of the loss of Carrie F., seeing how they'll handle all of that. [Although, it looked like she had aged 100 years on the inside between when she woke up to stun Poe and when she is standing with Rey making sure everyone got on the Falcon, plus she has handed over the torch to Poe and Rey as the new Leia/General and Luke/Jedi. So I suppose with a time jump, they could show Poe at Leia's memorial and someone like Hodo, who'd known Leia a long time, comes up to him and explains that Leia stuck with them just long enough to make sure everyone was taken care of, and then she joined the Force with her brother.]

Also excited to see where they go with Rey (she does have the Temple books, the broken saber, apparently still having these flashes where she connects with Krybaby Ren) and the Falcon. I want to see where they take she and Finn's relationship, if they end up being romantic or bro/sis, and what becomes of he and Rose, as well as where they go with Rose. I want to see what happens with Poe, now the leader of the Rebellion, with his trusty droid at his side. And I'd love to see the Fathiers again, and I want to know if Phasma died or if she'll be a bit Darth Vader-like and will come at Finn one more time.

Nope. Not anymore. To be honest, I already started losing interest after TFA. Rogue One kinda got my attention back then completely lost it now after TLJ. I'll still watch it in theaters probably, but I'm no longer excitedly waiting for it and wouldn't mind if I didn't get to watch it.
