I thought the opening sequence was fantastic. It set a good tone for the entire movie by putting me right into a Star Wars frame of mind, which I admittedly was not in when I walked into the theater. I went in anticipating a "meh" movie. Seeing the AT-ATs on the mountain ridge, and finally getting a peek inside the "belly" of those things, was great.
I won't say this is the best Star Wars movie or anything close to it. It didn't expand on anything, but it really didn't have to. It really was more like a Season 4 of The Mandalorian on the big screen rather than TV. And that's ok.

When did Newman become an X-Wing pilot? I thought his dream was to be transferred to Hawaii.
A little confused on your first point. Favreau was as involved in S3 and he was in S1-2, was he not?
Did y'all do the cliched tiktok where you all go up to the box office and ask for tickets, and the worker asks for what movie?

A few of the visuals and scenes in the movie make me really wish we could actually get an X-Wing movie or series.
When the dogfight scenes happened, I just couldn't help but think how a Top Gun style Rogue Squadron movie would be one of the easiest layups of all time.

It would certainly be that. I mean it was so obvious that Top Gun Maverick wanted to remake the Death Star trench run, and was a massive success.
No, not yet. There will be a ton of people at the event tonight in Rockwall, so I will ask someone to do it.
so it's a Star Wars

they were gonna....but then they caught the dumb....
A- on Cinema Score, so maybe some good word of mouth buzz
Reading online discourse, lots of people enjoyed it, but the people who didn't like it seem to REALLY not like it. So it will be interesting to see what kind of legs the movie has after this weekend

I still say if this has legs it'll be due to an unexpected group - moms taking kids to see baby Grogu and the hairy little mechanics.

There's really not much to dislike. It's pretty safe and down the middle. That's the biggest critique you can give it, IMO.
And I guess the lack of character development. Nobody really has a character arc, but that's to be expected when it's just a long episode of a tv show.

Was the dumb reacting to the colossal flop that was director's previous film, Wonder Woman 1984? I seem to recall that being the case, and if it was, then that seems to be a bad reason for cancelling what would very likely be a massive success.
Have you seen Wonder Woman 1984? Seems like a good reason to take Jenkins off the project. But they could've moved on with someone else.
Hmmm...
The entire rumored plot of Starfighter leads directly to Rey.

The rumor is that Flynn Grey is Amy Adams' character's son and he is highly force sensitive, so she hires Gosling's character to safely transport him somewhere where he'd be safe.
That place ends up being Rey's new… https://t.co/qZj8zDS6Er
Well, Filoni does like trying to right the ship on poorly executed things.
I'm hopeful for Starfighter, but does Lucasfilm know they can do stories that don't involve an adult escorting a child character?
The Mandalorian did it and it was fresh, and the new movie is still banking on the good will from it.
Then Obi-Wan Kenobi did it.
Skeleton Crew sort of did it (w/ multiple kids)
Now Starfighter is doing it....

Yes, I saw that POS. I also saw the first one, which was mostly well done. I felt like she could handle Rogue Squadron.double aught said:

WW1984 was so bad

Book of Boba Fett didn't have any kids.

Uh, it had the BEST KIDS
I mean this seems like the most likely plot?
The question in my mind is Grogu there or not.

Saw Mandalorian today with my 15 and almost 13 year old sons…it was great for Star Wars. Best Star Wars movie since Return of the Jedi other than Rogue One. I think I liked it better than Rogue One as parents can watch with kids and still enjoy.
If they build off of it, it might have the chance to become a great story of its own connecting to the other movies and shows.

Better than a movie that some feel is the best in the franchise? Or is at least 1B or 2nd?

Hell the intro credits with the x-wing sunset was very top gun
Definitely not better than Rogue One, but I enjoyed it much more Solo, TLJ and ROS. TLJ aggravated me and ROS was a mess. Solo was enjoyable but not as much as Mando. It's probably a better Star Wars movie than TFA but I actually enjoyed TFA as well. Mando isn't "absolute cinema" (nod to Scorsese who was in this movie) but it would be a shame for it to flop because people don't want to give it a shot.
