    Maybe. Sure, we'll see, I suppose.

    Still genuinely don't think I'll bother going though. I can wait for a download, or catch it on the cheap. Either way, I'm in no hurry.

    So your not gonna bother with this movie? Yet you are still in here several times a day discussing it. Why do that if your not bothered? People need to leave the house more.

    I'm not going to the cinema to watch it, no. Don't feel the need.

    Yet you feel the need to bad mouth a movie you have no intention to watch every few mins on an internet forum. Sound.

    This does not look good. First of all it seems most if not all of the story has been given away in that trailer already. Secondly it seems just more of that patched together Disney Christmas tosh.

    Wii I watch it? Sure I will, because... but after the last two expectations are low and this trailer doesnt look any better.

    You don't ever have to concern yourself with what I, or anybody else on this forum, chooses to discuss, or with whom they choose to discuss it with.

    Nor should you ever "feel the need" to add to your 50 posts so far by chiming in to have a go at another poster because they're saying something you don't like.

    No point in judging either the movie or the trilogy until you see how the whole story plays.

    The original trilogy will always be considered the best, the subsequent movies/trilogies will always fall short in comparison.

    A better comparison for the sequel trilogy is how do they compare to current movies like Avengers, Fast & Furious, Avatar etc. I’d think these Star Wars movies will outlast most of their contemporaries in terms of relevance and rewatchability.

    Take the much derided Star Wars prequels which came out around the same time as the much better received Lord of the Rings trilogy and Hobbit prequel trilogy. 15 years on LOTR is largely forgotten, Hobbit is totally forgotten, whereas the prequels are still there.

    Regarding even the original trilogy, people forget that once ROTJ was released, people moved on to things like Back to the Future, Rambo, Beverly Hills Cop etc. Star Wars was considered ‘done’ after two good movies followed by a weaker third one!

    My local Odeon are showing all 3 of the new trilogy back-to-back between 18.00-03.00 on release night. 10 minute intermission after TFA and 30 minute intermission after TLJ.

    I was going to book the triple play (same price for all 3 movies as 1!) but then I got thinking that the marathon of the other 2 movies may take away from my enjoyment of The Rise of Skywalker... not to mention the effects of a smelly cinema or sitting in the same chair for 8.5 out of 9 hours!

    What do others think? Watch the trilogy or just take in the new movie as a standalone?

    You can make judgements on a trailer, which is what people are doing.

    And you can make judgements on the last two film in a trilogy, which is also what people are doing.

    It doesn't have to be this way. There is nothing written in stone that says subsequent additions to a story have to be worse than the first efforts.

    Star Wars movies are inevitably going to be compared to other entries in the series. In fact it makes much more sense to do so than to compare them to films in which they have absolutely nothing in common.

    You think the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy is "forgotten"?

    We watched tfa before the midnight showing off tlj. Was knackered for the second film.

    Much more enjoyment of it after a second watch when i wasn't tired

    I like you wedwood, generally give your thoughts the time of day, but that above is demonstrably, quantifiable nonsense :) Largely forgotten my eye.

    And if the prequels persist, its as cautionary tales about the dangers of hubris, and that all the money in the world can't substitute direction or writing. Possibly the most autopsied films in cinema.

    Hobbit is a tale of greed had they not gone for a trilogy it would have been pretty good.

    I still liked them for all their flaws.

    Meh, relax. I'd rather engage with a few haters sceptics in here rather keep this an echo chamber.

    Unless they happen to be LOTR haters. In which case cast them into the fires of Mount Doom (or a Sarlacc - if you can't create a suitable diversion.)

    Just seen a link for a cinema in the UK doing a triple header, on the 18th of December, of The Force awakens, The last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker( at midnight) for £15.
    8hrs of movies.
    Anyone heard of anywhere in Ireland doing this?

    Interesting.
    Only my opinion (which isn't worth anything :pac: ) That's too much for one go.
    You'd be burned out by the time The Last Jedi ends and you'd be noticing "the forumla" more when you watched Rise of the Skywalker.

    (Formula being you know when you binge watch a show you start to see the little same things they like to redo.... best to go in fresh to enjoy it more. As after all, you can only see a movie for a first time the first time. Make the most out of it)

    Lighthouse are showing them all but you'll have to pay separately for Force Awakens/Last Jedi Double Bill and then ROS at 00:05am

    Any speculation on Rey's potential love interest has been misplaced.

    I don't dislike Rey half as much as others around, defended her only a page or so back ... but man I cannot abide her taking the pilot seat of the Falcon. Never sat well with me.
