Own up time here. I have never seen a Star Wars film. The kids loved them when they were small, i have probably watched the first 30 minutes and then got bored. Does that make me a cunt?

The Ewoks are named after the Miwok, a Native American tribe, indigenous to the Redwood forest in which the Endor scenes were filmed for Return of the Jedi , near the San Rafael location of Lucasā Skywalker Ranch.[3]
The Ewoks were a controversial addition to Return of the Jedi and the Star Wars universe in general, and are seen by some to be the weakest link of the original trilogy. According to Tami Katzoff of MTV News, āa prevailing theory among Ewok-haters is that the creatures were originally conceived as a sure way to appeal to small children and sell plush toys to their parents.ā[14] Others enjoy the Ewoks, and they have proven to be very popular with children from their introduction in the 1980s to the present day
As wicket would say (phonetically) āeecha wommaā
Theyāre cunts. Sorry Bob, but it was ok for two of the first three, then became a nothing franchise(like all franchises).
Thatās the US way and why i havenāt bothered for decades.
Who remembers a story having a start and (importantly) a finish?
Franchises donāt like that last word and invariably end up feeding you mindless drivel.
Sorry, iāll not disturb the franchise again 
Ah, youāre obviously one of these people that were hoping for Wookies instead of Ewoks.
Well I shall tell you this. I support Ewoks over Wookies for this movie.
We ended up seeing Wookies do battle in Episode III. It wasnāt all that, and at no point would you have had that moment when one of the Ewoks dies and his little mate tries to wake him up, not actually realising heās dead.
Itās not the only example. Can you imagine Wookies, with plenty of extra-terrestrial experience, would ever consider a protocol droid to be a god just because he was coloured gold?
No. They would probably shoot a bowcaster bolt to stop it talking shit in six million languages.
ROTJ is a pretty intense film if you take the Ewoks out. Itās all climactic moments and suchlike. Itās the rescue of Han from Jabba, the confrontation between Luke, Vader and the Emperor and still, imho, the best space battle (in terms of how it affects the story) ever put on screen.
To have loud, you must have quiet. The scenes on Endor were the quiet in ROTJ.

Iāve just watched the latest (last) in the star wars saga. I must admit I went expecting to be disappointed and left having really enjoyed it. I would rate it 3rd out of all of them.

I watched the 2013 film āSaving Mr Banksā yesterday. It was on the telly. It made me do a cry. I thought it was very good even though Tom hanks is in it speaking in that daft voice he does.
Iāve got several daft vices (not prepared to divulge) so whatās his?
It might actually just be his voice. Itās a southern drawl.
Indiana Jones is shit. All of the films are shit. Theyāre racist and imperialist. There, Iāve said it.
Perhaps youād enjoy the one set in winter?
There are lots of other snowflakes.
We watched The Laudromat yesterday. About the Panama Papers scandal. Thought it was quite well done. Antonio Banderas is in it, so that may have helped.

Anthony Hopkins greatest role?
Attention to detail & care is just brilliant
I may have another dose of that damned hayfever.
Beautiful film
Iāve just seen the new Star Wars film. Before I start watching YouTube reviews, here are my initial thoughts. I was not bored, I liked the arc for Kylo Ren and of the three films, this easily had the most momentum.
It was not as ponderous as The Last Jedi, but perhaps moves a bit too quickly for its own good.
Iām not sure that this was the third film that was originally planned. The decision to bring Palpatine in early smacks of desperation. It doesnāt make a whole deal of sense - and there is also a whole lot of retconning going on.
Itās also chock full of fan service, to the now quite tired Star Destroyer piercing a larger object. Chewieās medal was particularly grating, like they were answering a forum post from an angry Star Wars fan.
Verdict on the trilogy in general is that none are truly terrible films, and they all feature the same crop of characters, but it really feels like three separate adventures with a threadbare throughline that had too much work to do in the last film.
An hour into The Irishman and I am off to have a kip.
It is way too long.

How the hell did Danny Ings find time to star in this?
