Looking at the Rotten Tomatoes score I got a feeling that we might get a reverse of TLJ, with reviewers being more iffy to negative, and moviegoers rating it higher. Perhaps not super high, but I got a feeling the audience will be more charitable.
I skipped Solo, and I haven't been super excited about Rise of Skywalker. For a minute I was debating going to see it opening week or just waiting to see how it did. The marketing hasn't done much for me, and smacks of desperation a bit. But I plan to go see it, in part because of Palpatine and Lando, but also to see how Abrams is going to try to bring this trilogy, and allegedly, the entire 9-film saga to a close.

I thought the last minute Star Wars rush would get me to buy tickets, but at the moment this might be the first Star Wars movie I don't see in the cinema. (I was too young for the OT, but saw them all at the cinema years later. And then again as the Special Editions.)
I'm curious about how they wrap it up, but not enough to go to much bother.

You've seen it already?
Yeah. Opened today in Germany. Ticked every box I needed. I’m 48 and lived them all. The Carrie thing was handled amazingly well.
TFA-meh could have been more original
TLJ- Ok till they killed my boy
My interest level just went up (from very little).
Care to elaborate without spoilers ?
Not uniformly. TFA nearly killed it for me but I really liked TLJ and was 'concerned' JJ got the last one.
We're all different...
I’m scared to say much. I will say there were several NEAR choked up scenes but two with Chewie impacted me most. Jonas is amazing replacement for Peter. Glad they worked together on a couple of films.
I really hate the way people just follow the words of critics online. Even ones that just have a YouTube channel. That doesn’t make you a professional or your opinion any better than mine. Being a critic doesn’t just mean being critical of EVERYTHING.
Nice to hear Chewie actually gets something to do. Excepting Solo, he's been too ignored by the modern films for my taste.
To varying degrees, I've liked both TFA and TLJ. TFA, while certainly a nostalgia-fest, was the most fun I've had in a Star Wars movie since I was a kid. I enjoyed TLJ for the fact that I was surprised. It was not the movie I wanted, necessarily, but it took my viewpoints on Star Wars and put them on their side. I understand that other fans have differing opinions on the movies but I enjoyed them. Having said all of that, I find myself fairly typically agreeing with the critics. That has me a little nervous about seeing this tomorrow night. Still, I am trying to go in with an open mind and attitude about it and not read any more reviews than I already have (which is basically a couple of headlines and half of AO Scott's NYT review).
So, we'll see. I have a feeling, though, we're going to have another divisive one on our hands.

So judging by the reviews, the made a movie to appease the crying alt-right man-babies who couldn't cope with the previous one. And given by the way the cast and crew have been given the green light to shit on Rian Johnson on their publicity tour this seems to be the audience that they've decided the films are made so, in which case I won't be letting the door hit me on the way out.
I remember coming out of TLJ shell shocked............took me a few days and viewings to process it. Eventually I liked it and admired them for daring to do it........one I realized he'd be back as a ghost. Not a spoiler by the way we all know he filmed scenes. I really am impressed with how they used TFA footiage and doubles to wrap up the Leia story. If I did not KNOW Carrie had died, I'd never even blink.
This is what I don't get...........that lemming attitude. Someone said this so I am not even going to make up my own mind.
Sadly, it seems that we live in a society that this attitude is more common than not.
Agreed and not just in entertainment.........smh
Unfortunately, I kind of think "modern" entertainment has always been this way. I volunteer at a local community theater here in ABQ and have acted in a few of the shows they've produced over the past couple of years. We, sadly, live and die by the reviews we get. There are four main arts review sources here and I can tell you that even if a show we do gets glowing reviews by a couple of them, if one of the others prints a bad review for the same show, our audience dwindles. That just happened this past spring. We were doing an adaptation of Moliere's Tartuffe. We had decent (if not glowing) reviews from two sources, but then one of the others lambasted the play and our audience numbers immediately went straight into the toilet. People seem to take more credence from bad reviews than they do from good reviews and it sucks!
