The final episode in the sequel trilogy, and the overall Skywalker Saga, is finally out! Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (2019, J.J Abrams) will hopefully answer the questions that have been set up since the beginning of this trilogy in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015, J.J Abrams) . But due to fans being displeased with this new trilogy, such as the highly negative response from fans after the previous instalment Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017, Rian Johnson)  and with the latest anthology movie Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018, Ron Howard) being a financial disaster, can this movie live up to the success of its predecessors and redeem the franchise in the eyes of fans? First Thoughts This movie is good, I liked it as a movie. The action's good, the visuals are great and the characters are fun to watch. But as a finale to the overall Skywalker Saga, it's quite disappointing. The story feels more like it's trying to make up for lost time rather than tell a good stor...

Now that fans have seen Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017, Rian Johnson)  it's now that time again to begin speculating what will happen in the next instalment of the new trilogy. Unfortunately, this is going to be somewhat difficult as The Last Jedi  appears to answer a lot of the questions that were put in place from The Force Awakens (2015, J.J Abrams)  such as who Rey's parents were, what happened to the new Jedi Order and why Luke had disappeared. And now we're left with different questions, such as: How is the resistance going to pick themselves up after being almost wiped out? What will become of the Jedi? How will Carrie Fisher's death be handled? So in this Blog Post, I'm going to discuss the points that I find are important for Episode IX and where I believe characters should be headed in their story arcs. As a warning, this post does contain Spoilers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi . So, if you have yet to see the film, look away now! If not then please co...

Star Wars: The Last Jedi  has been arguably the most anticipated film of 2017. It topped my list of Blockbusters to look out for this year as well as many others. In fact, the hype for this film is so big that Disney didn't even bother to put a lot of effort into the promotional campaign, as the film more or less sells itself. With the franchise earning over £3 billion with just two films it's safe to say that fans are hooked on this new wave of Star Wars.  However, this film still has a lot to prove. Whilst Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015, J.J Abrams)  was a huge hit it left many fans wanting. Particularly with the story being a rip-off of the original film from 1977. And so this film needs to prove that it's more than just a copy of the original trilogy. And with all the questions left after The Force Awakens  can this film bring any satisfying answers to them?  First Thoughts Star Wars: The Last Jedi  is, by all means, the best new Star ...

Star Wars: The Last Jedi New Poster So Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) comes out in December and we're only now getting the second trailer, just two months away from the release date. Either Disney has seriously dropped the ball on the promotional campaign or they're just so confident in this film that they feel it doesn't require a lot of publicity for fans to get excited about. My guess would be the latter. Since the past two Disney-Produced Star Wars films have both raked in a combined total of $3,124,280,897, It'd be safe to say that Disney would think that. However, right before the trailer was released last night, director Rian Johnson (Looper, Brick) suggested to fans that they should avoid this trailer. WHAT?! What kind of a marketing tactic is that?! Perhaps if you wish for fans to avoid spoilers then you should urge the marketing campaign to avoid them at all costs. Initial Thoughts Yeah! This trailer has me more intrigued about the story than ever, ...
