Not surprised, it was poorly marketed and requires you to watch three seasons worth of content to have context for.

It really should have just been season 4 of Mandolorian.

I will be seeing it because I have seen every Star Wars movie in theaters and I don't want that streak to be broken.

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 7 hours ago

I had no idea this was being made until just now

This happens when you burn out your fans with constant releases.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

It wasn't terrible. Not great, but not terrible. Worth watching if you're streaming, but not theater worthy.

Thought it was some Disney plus nonsense.

Looks like Disney's ability to keep milking their latest cute plush toy is coming to an end.

time to create another one. or get back to the old one. Young Yoda it is!

Maybe we can finally get a Jabba the Hut gay romance movie.

directed by Lee Kronin

Honestly a series following Yoda over his life showing the decline of the Jedi order would be pretty good. I'm actually kinda surprised that wasn't a thing in the EU canon, though we did get a couple comics featuring young Yoda. Imagine how much worse of a blender Yoda in his prime would be, in EU canon he hefts a mini gun on his back and fucks up some droids and in one of the first clone wars (2008) episodes he literally blends a bunch of B1 droids in a tank.

Lucas was against exploring Yoda because that would diminish his mystique.

In a world way worse Yuuzhan Vong would've been Yoda species as the invading force from unknown regions of space.

I think the best way to deal with Yoda is to keep him as far as possible from current Star Wars soap opera framework and maintain his stories strictly in the realm of myths that might or might not be true so that every story is standalone and self-contained. something like Samurai Assassin series used to do for example

To be completely honest, I didn't even hear about this movie at all until like 2 weeks ago and I just assumed they'd release it as a Disney+ exclusive or something. I even went to a movie theater like a month ago and I heard absolutely nothing about it. Anecdotally, this tells me their marketing team had no faith in their product, so why should anyone else?

Limp and low effort. Actually kind of impressive to make a movie with so much going on be boring. The writing was like a rough draft with placeholder dialogue. Legendary actors giving wooden performances. Oof.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

This is actually the only good star wars movie made by Disney that I've seen.

I only saw it bcz it was a friend's birthday and they were going already.

I had super low expectations going in, and saw a terrible movie trailer. That actually made me think the movie was going to be really bad.

Nope, turns out the trailer was just bad.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Rogue One is in the Top 2 Star Wars movie.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

I didn't hear about it until I saw it on the drive in billboard.

That said, I've not finished season 2, but I loved season 1 enough to get the pinball game :)

[–] zombieshotgun@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I loved that pinball game enough to want to watch the show. Still haven’t, but I wanted to.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

Yeah I’d only barely heard of it, and even then I thought it was just what they were naming the new season of the TV show. Marketing department fucked up.

[–] sydd@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Like the actual pinball machine?

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 35 points 19 hours ago (6 children)

Going to the movies, in THIS economy?

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 6 points 11 hours ago
