There's a lot of anger from fan about how Lucasfilm has handled criticism for The Last Jedi.
Are you still excited about Episode IX as you were before the release of Episode VIII?

Yes. Absolutely yes. There's no question about it. While I will say that there were parts of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi that I disliked (i.e. who are Rey's parents?, who is Snoke?, what's the deal with the connection between Kylo and Rey, and what does it mean?, the "direction" they chose for Han Solo, will Kylo come back to the light side?, is Luke still alive?, is Snoke alive?, etc.) there were a lot of parts that I loved. And I believe that any TRUE Star Wars fan will be just as excited for the release of Episode IX as they were for Episode VII and VIII. And if you're like me at all, maybe even more excited for it. I'm also eager to see how Episode IX will tie everything together and possibly make us realize what it all meant by potentially adding the last few pieces to the apparent puzzle we currently have. And besides, I'm a huge Star Wars nerd. So I'm definitely looking forward to it!
Which sucks cause I was crazy excited for Ep8, booked tickets for midnight showing and weekend showing the whole lot. IMAX and all, ep9 will be like solo for me. I'll see it when I see it
I probably won’t exit the theater either even if it’s terrible
I've decided not to go see it. Won't buy Last Jedi DVD either.
I gave Solo a chance just because I like Ron Howard. It was a decent movie. No real complaints. But Last Jedi was just so bad I can't get excited for ep9 at all.
You would be surprised...
That and the fan divide is always fun to watch happen too. Love a good civil war.
It'll likely be a watchable, maybe enjoyable film as that's what J.J. does best. Decidedly average films.
Rey will likely destroy the galaxy as well as the First Order with her immense intuitive power. Luke's force ghost will likely come in as a cameo alongside Anakin, Yoda and Obi-wan in the first quadruple facepalm committed to film.
Not excited at all.
Agreed. For all of its faults, I can neither forget or ignore the experience I had watching TFA for the first time.
Hush, I am in denial
Last SW movie was Return of the Jedi as far as I'm concerned.
Search your feelings, you know this to be true.
Noooooooo!
TV
Hey, 'member when Kylo first tried to mind meld with Rey and discovered something that made him say, "It's you?" 'Member that? I do. Rian doesn't. What was that all about? Rian does not care. I did.
'Member how Rey's entire character was built on waiting for her missing parents to return? They made a great big deal about her getting abandoned there and how she was waiting for them to come back. Her parentage must have had significance. Or not, according to Rian. Just dismissed it offhand.
'Member the lightsaber vision? What was the significance there? There were familiar places in there; why would Rey be seeing them? Eh, Rian just says "toss that, nobody cares" and dismissed it.
Like he dismissed everything. Kill the past, nobody cares about that, he said. Yeah? Well without the past to build on, there is nothing to care about in the future either.
Sorry, this is just a long way to say: No, I am not excited about Ep 9.
Fun theroy to muse over ..
Personally E8 feels like it should be E9, and that we never got E8.
Yeah, RJ isn't big on exposition.
Hopefully its a great movie, but that remains to be seen. But i'm hopeful.
Exactly! Thank you! So there ARE more positive people out there like me! lol
