Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker

'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' Early Buzz: J.J. Abrams Delivers a Divisive End to the Skywalker Saga

 

annnndddd...its bad..

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

 

The visuals were great for Rise of Skywalker but the dialog and frankly the story line was awful...The movie did not flow with the last two movies, it felt as if patched all together with conflicts...There was no good reason to bring back the Emperor Palpatine, they killed Supreme Leader Snoke too easily and too early in the three movie series...

...

 

The Mandalorian is an awesome show, everything Star Wars ought to be, and with each episode it keeps getting better and better...

...

 

well finally saw the movie...
A totally disjointed movie. It had little to do with the last 2.
boy the emperor sure is obsessed by death star tech...
for a man so powerful in the force he can destroy starships he is a slave to his planet killing tech.
the only thing I liked was the carrie Fisher inserts as Leia.
I hope star wars gets a nice long rest it needs it.
4.5/10

 

in the words of Brian Debbie's BF
star wars is dead.

 

‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ is Giving People Seizures

If you haven’t seen the new “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” movie yet, here’s a spoiler alert you may want to read anyway:

“Out of an abundance of caution, we recommend that you provide at your venue box office and online, and at other appropriate places where your customers will see it, a notice containing the following information: ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ contains several sequences with imagery and sustained flashing lights that may affect those who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy or have other photosensitivities.”



It’s true. According to Variety, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, distributors of the Star Wars film, was concerned that people with photosensitive epilepsy — or those who don’t yet know they have it – could suffer from seizures due to the bright strobe-like flashing lights in the movie. That concern led the studio to work with the Epilepsy Foundation to issue a warning message to theaters. However, it appears many of them either didn’t receive it or ignored the warning.

“I thought about [leaving the theater] but then I toughed it out. … I did get up and go to the bathroom to feel better. Do I wish I listened to my body? Yes, but I liked the movie.”

“Loved the new Star Wars!! But my son couldn’t watch the parts he was most excited for because of the effects. He closed his eyes and I whispered what was happening.”

The New York Post interviewed people with epilepsy who had incidents or discomfort during the movie, but no one who went into an actual seizure. However, that’s no reason to take the warning lightly, according to neurologist Mathew Pulicken, MD, MHS, of Neurologists of Cape Cod. He reminded CapeCod.com readers about the famous incident in Japan in 1997 when 4 million viewers watched an episode of Pokémon called “Dennō Senshi Porigon” (Electric Soldier Porygon) which had a scene where Pikachu launched flashing thunderbolts and around 600 of them – primarily children – suffered seizures scary enough that they were taken to hospitals for treatment. It was later determined that red is a trigger color and the animation industry was ordered to slow down flashes and shorten their lengths. There were also rumors of incidents caused by flashing lights in “Incredibles II,” another Disney film.

What about new “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”?

“Children and adults who have never had seizures or diagnosis of epilepsy could potentially experience a seizure after viewing the movie’s intense flashing lights for the first time. The chances of this happening and the overall risk is very minimal.”

Dr. Puliken recommends that anyone diagnosed with epilepsy who can’t stay away from the movie should take a friend who knows the seizure first aid mantra: Stay/Safe/Side, which is a handy way to remember to stay with the person, keep them safe and away from objects they would bump into and turn them on their side if they’re not conscious. Good advice to remember anywhere and anytime.

Spoiler alert 2: Here’s one more thing to remember when you go see the movie – take plenty of tissues.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker reportedly has a secret, undiscovered George Lucas cameo


Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker reportedly has a secret George Lucas voice cameo. But, wait, there’s more: if the whispers ring true, it means the father of Star Wars has also had a (loud) presence in both The Last Jedi and Rogue One without anyone realising.

The surprising reveal comes from a Good Morning America interview with Rise of Skywalker sound designers David Acord and Matt Wood. GMA’s sources indicate that there is a “deep audio Easter egg: a scream that is actually the voice of Star Wars creator George Lucas. The clip, affectionately called “The George”, was originally recorded for the director’s 1973 film American Graffiti." GMA also confirms, “it has appeared in several movies, including Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and The Last Jedi.”

Acord and Wood, though, remain coy about their “calling card.” Not only will they not confirm where the scream features in Rise of Skywalker, they won’t even say who recorded the clip, only that “a very special scream” is definitely part of The Last Jedi. Let’s hope it’s Lucas. Even the visual of him recording in a booth is a bit brilliant.

So, the hunt is on. While the Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker home release date hasn’t yet been announced, that’ll be the day where we can start combing through Episode 9 frame-by-frame and, more importantly, scream by scream. Then we’ll finally crack open what could be one of the strangest, most obscure secrets in the sequel trilogy.

I think Rogue One should be considered part of those series, it was a great movie that fit well leading into A New Hope...
