I loved The Force Awakens. I loved The Last Jedi even more. Rian Johnson made something special, something that will last because there's so much Truth in it.

And I loved The Rise of Skywalker.
I feel for and with the people out here who are angry about JJ's decisions in RoS. And you know, it's frustrating.

Rian gave us a radical critique of the Jedi (which I wrote about here: medium.com/fan-fare/how-t…). And JJ seemed to walk that back.
Rian exploded the notion of heredity and the power of bloodline as Rey's search for her parents forced her to find herself in the here and now.

JJ wanted Rey to have a capital-O Origin.

The audience score for #RiseofSkywalker has been locked at 86% at 1k, 6k, 12k, 20k, 23.4k, 32.5k, and 32.7k reviews ... and literally every number in between.

But I'm sure nothing's going on here. I mean, it's not statistically possible. But ... yeah. Image
This is on the heels of it having a lower CinemaScore than The Last Jedi, and a lower Metacritic Score than any previous Star Wars film.

But, sure ... that RT number just staying put.

It's the first game ever where respawning makes sense, but it's super easy to camp the respawn site, because there's only one and everybody knows where it is.
The devs just announced the first expanded universe DLC where you appear in America and preach to Native Americans.
Happy to see the game has in-app loot crate purchases that reduce real-life players' time in purgatory by random numbers of years.

Rewatching #StarWars ahead of the release of #RiseofSkywalker. So I’m going to thread its mentions of the (Galactic) Senate.
It seems heated political prognostication is a universal trait.
Curious what Sen. Palpatine’s seniority was to be able to brief his queen on a souring trade war.

Let's work our way through the #RiseofSkywalker trailer in slow-motion.

1) Lucasfilm logo w/animal noises. We hear two people either lock or un-lock their cars.
2) Cross-fade to a tree planet. Is this a return to Endor, or a fake-out to make you think they are mirroring EpVI?
1) Rey drops her helmet! For some reason, this will make a lot of unhappy men even angrier
2) Running with a lightsaber! Reckless.
3) Is that the cute droid from Mos Eisley Special Edition's first moments? (Look carefully, above Rey to her left, at the end of this clip)
I like the fast running. I wish it was going fast in a vehicle but if it can't be a vehicle going fast then running fast is an acceptable substitute. Fast!

Finally a #NightEditorProblems I don't mind having: I'm too busy editing to watch #TBLvsCBJ. #GoBolts
If Coop just plays the #RiseOfSkywalker trailer over and over again during the second intermission I swear it'll save the #GoBolts season. #TBLvsCBJ #StarWars
I can't even. #GoBolts #TBLvsCBJ
