Michael Bay to direct the next trilogy now that the GOT guys are 'out'.

Starring Megan Fox as the new Sith lord, and Shia LeBouf as the whiny toolbox under her spell.  The question is who will replace them halfway through the trilogy.  And yes, I do mean in the middle of movie #2.  Poochie death for at least one of them also required.

Fox is too busy with plastic surgery and pregnancies to star in films anymore (plus, no one gives a :censored: about her, either).

Shia would be the next Binks.

TBF it's not "self-manufactured". RJ potentially ruined a promising-looking trilogy by trying to be edgy, pandering to real-life subjects even if Star Wars has always been somewhat political, and seeking to "subvert expectations" at every turn. He forgot the ole "fool me once" saying when it comes to that, though.

TLJ being whoop-diddy-scoop poop doesn't change childhood memories, but it does sour a once-religious following of a storied franchise for a lot of people. My local ticket sales reflect that.

Can not disagree with you more on almost every point you try to make.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, but y'all are crazy if you think The Last Jedi was worse than The Phantom Menace or (especially) Attack of the Clones.

There is nothing good about TLJ!

At least TPM had Darth Maul & one of the best lightsaber fights! 

AotC clones had multiple jedi doing their thing, Jango Fett, etc 

TLJ sadly makes me appreciate the prequels in a way as never before! lol

Hey It's cool. I respect your opinion.

If we all liked the same thing the world would be a boring place.

Most movies I wouldn't even comment on because everything has flaws, but from the "prank call to Hux", the really slow space race to see who runs outta gas first, Jake Skywalker the coward /pessimist drinking space milk from his Hydroflask, Leia Poppins, separating Rey, Poe, & Finn from doing anything cool together, Crybay Ren's high waisted pants facetime calls, Jake Skywalker(a symbol of hope, who redeemed Darth Vader of all people because Luke believed in the good of people) wanted to murder his only nephew in cold blood before even talking to Han & Leia about it, Yoda who hates the jedi archives & talks down to luke like he is still a NOOB JEDI, THE CASINO SCENE, Snoke dying before we find out 1 thing about him, Rey's parents are losers, No actual lightsaber on lightsaber fight in the whole movie. Jake Skywalker & his space stroke, This movie just has too many terrible things! 

I actually like Rey, Poe, Finn, Rose but these movies did nothing to flesh out their characters. We know very little about them & they barely had time to bond together the way the OT crew bonded or the way Anakin, Obi Wan, Ahsoka etc did thru the Clone Wars.

Anyway I'm gonna go eat some Halloween candy after that rant!!! lol

I shouldn't be excited and yet I kind of am. The thought of Palpatine or Vader somehow tying back into this episode has me intrigued and hopeful and if not, still curious. I'm not looking for the greatest movie of all time here, just a bit of plot and intrigue to hang my hat on and have a fun night out with the family. We shall see.

Look at it from the perspective of the people who think it's an abomination. I understand that you like the movie. Many - very many - do not.

I live in a sci-fi (Star Wars, comic book, etc) movie-loving area. The fact that I could get opening weekend tickets (at 2 of the highest-profile theaters) more than a week after they went on sale is a big red flag to me. People are probably still speaking with their wallets after TLJ as they did with Solo.

I, personally, 'need' to see how the Skywalker saga ends. I can't/won't abstain. I simply have caution and middling expectations.

I think ya'll are crazy who think it isn't the worst Star Wars thing to ever hit a screen.

Yes, that includes those X-Mas ewok TV shows or whatever the Hel those were.

People are using their wallets to make a point on this.

TBH I would rather wait until this comes out on DVD but I don't want to be spoiled of the plot waiting that long!

Unless the plot is so bad that I don't care if it's spoiled! lol
