Something that I forgot to mention about the trailer in the past:
There's a scene where the characters go to the Death Star in the ocean, riding some ship that barely skims the waves, has anyone else noticed that it's some rinky-dink, wobbly piece of shit thing?
Much like the Salt-Speeders from TLJ; this shit looks like everything is wobbly, loose and will fall apart at any moment.
It's so strange and stupid, imagine a kid's reaction to the wobbly shit-ships in TLJ:
They are the most prominent ship in the movie and they look like crap, can you imagine a kid going "That piece of junk that barely held together and wasn't shown to fire a single shot, now that's something I want as a toy!!!"
Same with this thing.
These ships need to be awesome. They need to be powerful. They need to be cool. They don't need to be invincible, but they should not be wobbly pieces of shit.
What is wrong with Disney's designers to come up with such crappy designs. No kid wants such a shitty vehicle.
On the topic of Star Wars, my friends are going to drag me along to see it in theaters. They keep saying I'm irrational in expressing my dislike and that it won't be that bad, and that my opinion about the franchise destroying itself is incorrect. I will go with them, but I will cackle like a hyena, and unlike VII when I stifled my laughter during the Kylo Ren face reveal I will do it with pride.
Hell maybe I'll just get them to take bets with me on what's about to happen.
I also never paid to see VIII so I will bite the bullet on this one. At least I will get my moneys' worth in cringe.
Eh... I don't want anyone to pay for this shitheap of a movie, so I am sad to read such things, but if you end up in the theatre, at least make it count. Don't hold back when you have to laugh, when something stupid happens, comment it, heckle this shit out of this movie and when the biggest bomb drops and people start to realize, just how much of a shitshow this has been, you should ask them "Is this everything you hoped for, is this what you wanted?"
But really, you should not be forced to watch a movie that you don't want to see and even pay for it.
Then again, make it a game: Bet with your people, bet on the leaks. Tell them what GeneralFriendliness has compiled and bet that it's gonna be the atrocious plot of the movie. If they enter the bet, you have succeeded in two ways:
1) You make money
2) You took away all "surprising" twists this movie had, making your friends understand, just what the kind of shitshow it is.
I almost was able to forget that pseudo intellectual cancer. Its the type of line that sounds okay at first but the more you think about it, the more it sounds like they dont know what they are talking about. It reminds me of Jared Joker saying that stupid like "
desire becomes surrender surrender becomes power", it SOUNDS smart...until it doesnt.
The best part about it will always be how the "things they love" get blown up in the background, cause Finn was sabotaged when he tried to save it. It's a shame we didn't outright see how a shitton of rebells died in that scene, just to highlight it some more. Then again, all those guys in the trenches in front of the bunker are gone after the pointless battle, so I guess we do have a substantial bodycount.
