She wrapped the two lightsabers of Luke and Leia with a piece of cloth, and used the force to separate a piece of sand outside the hut, and the two legendary lightsabers were buried deep in the land of Tatooine.

In the first "Star Wars" movie released in 1977 (later named "Star Wars 4" and the full name is "Star Wars: A New Hope"), Luke Skywalker, who has not yet become a Jedi, has not yet become a Jedi. , He walked on the sandy Tatooine star all day, and also looked at the afterglow of the two sunsets in the sky...

Although this film has been accused by some film critics as "excessive sales sentiment", but objectively speaking, if in a "grand finale", if you do not trace the previous situation, you may also be very "Star Wars fans". Difficult to agree. For this reason, in the new film, the audience once again saw Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Rando, Gava, and a personal character in the "Star Wars" series. , And even saw Luke and Leia in their youth.

Assuming you have not watched the previous eight movies, especially "Star Wars" 4" to "Star Wars 6", then 142 minutes of film length, will definitely make people fall into the clouds.

The "Star Wars" series of films has always been nicknamed "the first family ethical film in the universe". This series of films is often summed up jokingly as "I am your father", but in fact, a few pairs of father and son Turning the eyes into enemies has become the "force" that promotes the development of the plot of the film, such as the love and hatred between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, and the new trilogy of Han Solo and Kylo Lunzhi Bad father-son relationship, etc.

And in the latest "Star Wars 9", this entangled father-son relationship further rises to a confrontation between grandfather and grandson. Rey, who has no surname, finally revealed her life. She turned out to be the granddaughter of the old emperor of the Sith Empire, Sith Palpatine. Sure enough, in the world of "Star Wars", the first protagonist will never be a small person. Purely from the pedigree, Rey's identity suddenly rises above the sky. However, whether such a character setting is a good thing may be another matter, because it essentially dilutes the legitimacy of a certain kind of revolution, and the intensity of "the princes and generals have a kindness" disappears in an instant. Set of the palace internal fighting routine.

In the film, in order to be able to justify Rey’s life experience, the screenwriters tried to adopt a kind of "half-masking" To explain Rey’s parents’ choices back then, it’s just this kind of explanation that tries to rationalize, even if you think about a "why" in the process of watching the movie, it will feel far-fetched. Because of this, when the old emperor said over and over again, "Kill me, we will be one", so simple and rude to promote the development of the plot, it is estimated that Martin Scorsese will see it, and there will be a "theme park" "A few words.

The problem with "Star Wars 9" is not the so-called "excessive feelings". In the author's opinion, it just wants to do more, which causes the embarrassment of losing ground.

Obviously, the new "Star Wars" trilogy all attemptsCreate a new situation in the series of movies, so whether it is "Star Wars 7" or "Star Wars 8" or "Star Wars 9", these three movies are saying goodbye to classic characters, which is objectively necessary, after all, Luke The actor of Han Solo is almost dusk, and the actor of Princess Leia, Kelly Fisher, has already left us.

So when some film critics accused the new trilogy of "excessive feelings", they often ignored the main creative When the team "carried forward", "started from behind" all kinds of efforts. In the author's view, the "inheritance" is still within an acceptable range, and the key lies in whether the path of "enlightenment" is found right.

Putting aside the "dog-blood" life of Rey, "Star Wars 9" continues to implant some new concepts, such as the duality of Rey and Kylo Ren, and the stormtroopers can fly Wait, the main creative team suddenly forced many new elements into it, but failed to make a better choice in rationalization. This makes the abruptness of new elements superimpose the overflow of old feelings.

The more critical point is the absence of the villains in the new trilogy, or in other words, the new three. The weakness of the ultimate boss. Until "Star Wars 9", in the latest three films, the villain still looked so weak that even the inexplicable resurrection of the old emperor could not be saved. For example, in a movie equivalent to the future of Marvel, the villain is actually Thanos.

After the release of "Star Wars 9", the author heard an argument-not as good as "The Mandalorian". This evaluation seems reasonable at first sounds, but considering the length of each episode of "The Mandalorian" is about half an hour, and the degree of freedom of the streaming platform, the difference between "The Mandalorian" and "Star Wars 9" Mutual evaluation still appears to be about Guan Gong and Qin Qiong.

Undoubtedly, the "Star Wars" series will be the big IP that Disney values, in addition to the legendary "Star Wars 10" to "Star Wars 12", there are many film and television dramas already in the preparation stage. The little suggestion I can give is: let go of the Skywalker family, let's reopen a timeline, the universe of "Star Wars" is so vast, why bother to circle between Skywalker and Palpatine? .
