I can't believe Darth Vader is Luke Skywakers father! Wait a sec...

 

It's good, watched it yesterday. It's almost like a war film and not very Star Wars-y

 

Some parts are amazing but some parts gave me the ole cringe face.

Oh it gets worse than that, He's also Kylo's late Grandfather, honestly, this saga is just an epic galactic tantrum of one family against the whole universe... (Similar to the Kardashians) :p

I agree @HoochieMamma- First the 1st hour or so I was completely stone-faced.  Everytime there was a big scene, or event, or "thing" my fiance would look over @ me and I was just ... nothing.
I was ###### - what is this attempt @ humor crap ?
What the hell is ....

But then things started turning around.
Its 3 hours.
The last 45 mins made up for the 1st part.  But, TBH I need to see it again to give a rating- I think I expected to feel what I did as a little kid and when I didn't, I became biased.

I'll watch it again - but overall - I say (Y)

The humor was applied more heavily than in other entries. Mostly liked it, though, for Star Wars. A loooooong way away from Lucas's "Bantha poodoo"...

 

I was very, very happy with it. There is only really one sequence I would change, and I think that is obvious to anyone immediately.

 

Wasn't expecting perfect - I binged all other SW movies before seeing TLJ, and really, even ESB has plenty of questionable things, too. This entry was entertaining, artistic, well produced, appeals to a wide audience, and is as much as I could expect.

 

The last half was a series of great scenes where I just kept being amazed it kept going and adding more.

 

The one problem I still have with the new trilogy (though they are supposedly going to keep going, so trilogy may be the wrong term, whatever) is...

 

Spoiler

Who the holy hell was Snoke? I think we missed a couple of movies. I mean, I even read the Leia book so I knew who Holdo was, did I miss something?

 

But also

 

Spoiler

+1 for Space Jedi Pull Leia, she did learn something!

 

And who else was expecting Lando at the stupid casino?

As far as your 2nd hidden comment - that scene ###### me off more than any other - I was like, "WTF ?!?!  Is she Mary Poppins ?


But - Im still torn over all.

However, I did see this today while going XMAS shopping.  A gentle reminder of how huge the Star Wars movies are:

Went to see it last night, very very very good, although same as T3x4s and Zag with the same bits.

 

The humour wasnt much funny IMO. But rest was superb, couple of items had a tear in my eye.

Agreed on didn't know who would still be standing in the end.
Every scene I was thinking "Is this where [insert major character] goes ?"
But I was surprised too.

I did like the ingenious way they did the "big battle".

    • Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195) by Aditya Tiwari Image: Snap Inc. Smartglasses powered by augmented reality are the latest fashion because the smartphone market is slowly reaching saturation. Snap Inc. announced its latest AR-powered smartglasses, called SPECS, that aim to strike a middle ground between underpowered AI glasses and heavy headsets you can't wear all the time. Available in two sizes, Snap SPECS are made from high-performance Swiss TR90 polymer and feature removable inserts to support prescription lenses. Its 47mm model weighs about 132g; the bigger 52mm model weighs 136g. Snap Inc has been spreading the word about the new glasses for a while now. Earlier this year, it even spun off its smart glasses team into a subsidiary called Specs Inc. Its proprietary LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) display delivers a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors. Snap says the device gives the feel of a 24-inch desktop monitor when you're working, and of a 115-inch home cinema screen placed about 10 feet away when watching a movie. A pair of custom stereo speakers and 6x high-SNR MEMS microphones are built into the temples of the smartglasses to deliver open-ear audio while you cast a screen, stream content, open a whiteboard, or collaborate with others. Snap Inc. patted itself on the back, saying the smartglasses don't need tethering or a puck to connect to a computer. Under the hood, SPECS draw its power from two Snapdragon processors: one for computer vision and another for running Lenses. The device supports fast hand tracking, low latency, and responsive interactions that help digital content feel anchored in the real world, according to the company, which claims that SPECS can "deliver 7-millisecond motion-to-photon latency." The smartglasses offer up to four hours of battery life on a single charge while providing AI assistance, Bluetooth notifications, Lenses, audio/video playback, and more. The battery life could jump to 20 hours of mixed use when the charging case is included. Image: Snap Inc. You can view and interact with AR Lenses anchored directly to the physical world around you, and an on-board AI assistant uses the camera to see what's around to answer questions or provide real-time help with tasks. Snap Inc. noted that it filed more than 7,000 patents during the development of SPECS. It's trying to build the required digital ecosystem around the smartglasses, and said that developers have already published hundreds of Lenses for SPECS. Moreover, their electrochromic lenses use the same technology available in Boeing 787 Dreamliner windows, enabling them to shift from clear to tinted in just 10 seconds when you walk out of your house. Snap SPECS are now available for pre-order on the official website with a $2,195 price tag ($200 refundable deposit). The smartglasses are expected to ship in the US, UK, and France during the Fall this year.
    • Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

    • I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
