Was alright.. loved some of the filming techniques and the throwbacks to 1977.

Felt it lacked a little story-wise and was unable to become invested in any of the characters (with the exception of Donnie Yen).

Vader is teased, he obviously kills it with the very little screen time he gets but other than that the film just felt a little flat. Breath taking astheticly but just a little dull.

I agree. The story was overall a bit lacking, not overly interesting, but should still be pretty damn awesome for any Star Wars fan. It did have some amazing imagery & tie-ins to the originals which I loved. Forrest Whitaker did a good job.

& that final scene with Vader! Holy fuck batman, that was epic.

Now we wait a year for episode VIII

I thought the movie was PHENOMENAL.


We all knew exactly what the story was going into the movie. It could be safe to say, we have had enough of The Death Star, but it's such an important weapon in the universe.




Whenever any scene included KS20, i always thought of Sheldon Cooper.

I can't think of anything I would have done differently, though I was a little surprised Saw didn't have more screen time.

With each trilogy, we had three movies to identify the characters with. That's not the case with this one. What made Chirrut the ONLY character you enjoyed?
