The shot of “spores, molds and fungus”.

I really like that; taking the Smalltown USA, “kids investigate Mysterious Events” (in the old factory/mine/neighbours) template and putting a Ghostbusters spin on the story is a really smart move in taking the story out of 80s NY - yet keeping the supernatural roots.

That’s the way to do it.

I think at this point in the 42 years since the original release it’s a good time to put the main saga to a close. In creating what George Lucas and others did it gave Disney plenty of stuff to go forward with without having to circle back to Jedi, Sith, Death Stars, the Empire, etc, etc all the time. That’s not

He jumped into the cockpit with no experience.

With Luke we saw him grow from farm hand to fighter pilot commander to Jedi Knight.

Nope. He’s gotta be drinking his coffee or it’s no $$ from me.

He’s not Yoda, he’s just another member of Yoda’s species who is a baby. But since we don’t know the name of the species, everyone calls him “Baby Yoda.”

I can see Teen Yoda now: “Do, or do not...or whatever, I don’t care.”

Star Wars fans want something original- but not too original. Unique- but not too unique. Serious but not too serious. And fun but not frivolous.

Star Wars Fans, 1999-2014: The prequels are garbage! Give us something more like the classic movies!

You put way too much stock in a film series about Space Samurai.

Johnson labored under the incorrect and arrogant delusion that there was something about Star Wars that needed fixing.

I’ve also been a Star Wars fan all my life and I love TLJ so I dunno why you think Johnson was raising a middle finger to us.

Seriously... I’d almost like for the theaters to hand out Valium on the way in so people literally have a chill pill in their hands when walking out. Regardless of the film itself the takes are going to be so annoying.

I’m slightly surprised Batman isn’t more popular, but I’m willing to take your word for it and far too lazy to do the research myself.

I’ve been saying since the first one that they MUST get Steve Kloves to help JK Rowling write these movies. It is clear that while she has vast talent with story, she can not write a script to save her life. David Yates, editing, and good acting saved the first movie. The second one had a script so bad, it was beyond

Whatever she had planned for future movies, they better have just slammed them all together into one last movie that actually feels worthwhile.

I went to the bathroom exactly once this entire movie, for a sum total of a minute and a half, and I missed this entire character the movie is supposed to center around. 

Wow, they brought Yates back? Seven movies in a row. That’s a bit absurd.

They desperately needed a new voice in this franchise. Yates’s vision has grown incredibly stale.
