    Quoted from kvan99:

    shill that thinks we're Russian bots. They must think we're all right-wing Breitbart bunch. Um, I'm a Democrat.

    I'm so sick and tired of broad generalizations. Say one thing about anything and you're automatically relegated to a particular political bin ... it's beyond frustrating anymore, but I do my best to laugh it off.

    "The new characters are an afterthought for this one, except for finally revealing the truth how Rey/Kylo's heritage directly connects with the Skywalkers."

    I can't see everything you described happening in a *good* 2h 15m film. It'll have the feel of the rush job "cram all of the loose ends in there" at the end of Episode III ... that is not good.

    What I *hope* happens is that they decide to make an Episode X that focuses on tying everything together and ends the saga with Episode IX building up to that.

    TLJ was bad in that they blew things up just for the sake of blowing things up ... you cannot blow all of that up with only 2 hours left to finish the story. If anything, Episode VII should have been half of what it was, and half TLJ.

    Quoted from Deaconblooze:

    Episode IX: Part One

    Lol! I was thinking the exact same thing .

    Ep VIII was a colossal mess. I don't *hate* it per say, but you can't go burning every single thing down in the middle chapter of a trilogy. They have, at *most*, 2.5 hours to wrap up so many subplots (+ explain how the rebels came back after Ep VIII). That's not enough time!

    While I hate being a Captain Hindsight, Ep VII needed to be a mix of the existing Eps VII and VIII. Moreover, they didn't need to introduce more characters just for the sake of having them (the whole side plot with Finn, Rose, and that Codebreaker was a complete waste of time; Admiral Ackbar should have been what Holdo was ... there was NO need for that Holdo character ... none; Rey needed more development so that they whole Mary Sue label could start to be removed).

    The only way they can save face at this point is announce an Episode X that ties the trilogies together and have IX lead up to that story ... Ep VIII made a total mess of things for no real good reason hence the need for a mop up job. I blame the director personally ... that dude is intolerable to begin with.

    I'm almost done with Star Wars myself ... damn shame seeing that I loved the OT growing up. While I didn't dislike Solo, that was the first Star Wars sequel/prequel I did NOT see in the theater (I saw all of the others on opening night). I don't think Solo would have done as bad as it did if Ep VIII wasn't such a turd.
