[QUOTE="Twin30mm, post: 483059, member: 5949"] Just got back from seeing it and have to say I enjoyed it overall. Not the unmitigated disaster that was predicted. A good but not great addition to the franchise. I'd go for a solid 7 out of 10 on first viewing. Enjoyed the majority of the film, especially the introductions of the major characters and the Conveyex and Kessel Run sequences. Alden was great and looked the part and even had the chin scar. Creepy how much Donald Glover sounded like BDW. Loved the Maul cameo (didn't stay for the credits, was that Ray Park or a CGI Maul?). On the downside, didn't really care for the L3 character and 'droid equal rights' nonsense (you just can't help yourself, can you Kathleen?). Also, Dryden Voss was of a bit of a bland villian and Enfys Nest turned into a bit of a damp squib. There were a couple of abrupt scene changes which were a bit jarring (probably the result of all the reshoots etc.). I felt the running time could have been trimmed slightly as well. So, not as good as Rogue One, but easily trumps The Force Awakens & The Last Straw. Regarding the state of the fandom at the moment. Whilst I'm no fan of John Campea, no one deserves that type of abuse and it should be thoroughly condemned. Although, he's not been adverse to deriding the fanbase in the past. A case could be made for "if you can't handle the heat etc......". Personally, I think Disney/Lucasfilm has only themselves to blame with the situation at the moment. I firmly believe the vast majority of the criticism from the fandom has been reasonable, with people just expressing concern as to what tone/direction that Disney is taking with our beloved franchise. These criticisms have been met with derision from the likes of Kennedy, Johnson, Abrams et al. Perhaps if they'd just acknowledged the criticisms or just kept a dignified silence, we wouldn't be in this mess. Unfortunately, I think the the damage is already done and the ongoing franchise has been tarnished......which to this life-long fan, is a crying shame. [/QUOTE]
