This is proof that the internet is a cancer. There’s never been a better time to be a Star Wars fan. And yet, we all know that for most people being a Star Wars fan means being a predictable slob who only likes the first 2 OT movies. Solo was great. WOM will be good. Hopefully Boba Fett will work as a sequel... I have to see these characters again.

For real. This thing is a monster. It deserves every single penny. Watching the narrative build over the last decade has to be one of the most impressive feats in all of Hollywood. Marvel gets no rewards beyond money, but even the most pretentious of film buffs must admit that this is unprecedented. it is INSANELY HARD to achieve payoff over 19 films without losing your audience, just as it would be with a book series or comic series. The fact that this audience actually increased is just mind boggling. I’d say the studio deserves academy recognition for doing what no other studio could ever hope to do. And yes- I do find this feat more impressive than writing and directing serious drama pieces that “reveal aspects of humanity” like Shape of Water or Moonlight. Kind of similar to the way I feel about Robert Jordan. Is he Tolstoy or Dostoevsky? No. Are his books and interweaving storylines magnificent to behold? Absolutely. And for that he deserves credit. To some people, Eye of the World may be just as revealing as Anna Karenina.
