I saw RoS. I'm not angry about it, just disappointed. Part of that is because I actually really liked TLJ and RoS went out of its way to throw out as much of it that it could, and the other part is because it is basically just full of dumb.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Incidentally, I blame Star Trek for the fact I didn't realize that the Navy even had enlisted until I was an adult.
I liked the parts of RoS that I liked. Furious about the Rose stuff. Mostly I stripped it for parts to feed my enjoyment.
I was playing with a random hurt/comfort trope generator that spit out the whole plot at random and that pretty much sums up that clusterfork.
That's hilarious. I am in the haven't seen RoS group as well - mostly not enthused with a healthy dose of trepidation because I really like TLJ but also figuring I'll see it at some point because I can't go around not seeing Star Wars movies, can I? Although there are several that I haven't. But the "yet" is assumed.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And also, sigh.
I avoided Revenge of the Sith for a long time even though people said it was the BEST part of a disappointing trilogy (when I finally saw it I was not impressed). Given that TLJ was the most interesting and enjoyable star wars cinematic experience in 30+ years to me, everything I've heard since makes me perfectly happy to skip it.
I am considering starting to play some Star Wars The Old Republic soon though. Have it installed and everything.

I remember those texts! They were great.

SO ACCURATE AND SO CRINGY! I laughed and laughed and laughed.
I remember reading a review that said something like "they have to go here to get the thing, then there to get the decoder to find the clue to the next thing" and thinking oh, shit.
If I'd watched it more than once, it might have clicked then; that bit with the Sith knife is almost pure Rambaldi.
I loved TLJ. LOVED loved. Loved enough that I deceived myself into thinking it redeemed some of the other terrible choices the franchise has gone through. Which is why I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE ROS so much.
