Summary

Jim and I saw a Star Wars film tonight. We were displeased. If you loved or liked the film, we're really happy for you. But this trilogy wasn't for us, much like it's father, the prequel trilogy before it. If you hate the film, we totally get that, too. All we ask is that you try to be happy for the people who are happy, and try to be understanding to the people who are feeling a bit numb like us. We'll be back in 2020 for some more awesome movies, and probably a few that will suck, as is tradition. See you then! Please enjoy our spoiler-free review of the movie as well as a discussion of upcoming films and trailers, but if you want to hear our full, spoiler-filled analysis you'll have to be a Club Bald Move member!

0:07.1	Came back for a big one Star Wars episode nine
0:12.1	Rise of Skywalker, and I hate that I have to do this podcast.
0:22.0	I hate that this is almost certainly going to be super divisive to a
0:26.3	Star Wars community that was starting to heal and come together over everyone's
0:30.7	blissful enjoyment of Baby Oda and the bland excellence of the Mandalorian and
0:38.4	this hot mess of a Star Wars movie jumped right into the middle of my Christmas experience, and it's not the worst thing I've ever seen.
0:50.0	It's far from the best thing I've ever seen and it's kind of the perfect conclusion to this fucked up
0:57.5	Mix mash of a trilogy that we got that was designed by committee and almost doomed to fail from the from the
1:06.4	start designed by the Mickey. What did you think? Uh, man, I had zero hype going into this thing. I came away from it thinking, eh, whatever. Like, I mean mean my relationship with Star Wars is very complicated and it's it's long. It's it's it's storied
1:29.9	And at this point there's nothing Star Wars can do to hurt me, but there's also nothing Star Wars could have done to thrill me.
1:36.0	And so I walk away from this a little bit numb, like, I'm not shell-shocked. I just don't, don't have it within me to care about Star Wars anymore.
1:46.2	It's a shame because as a kid from the ages of like 12 to 17 it was my world like the most important thing in the galaxy to me was Star Wars.
1:56.0	And then I guess I saw the remakes of the originals
2:00.0	and those were mostly great.
2:02.0	And then I saw episode one and it's been all downhill from there.
2:09.7	Yeah, yeah, the real releases in special editions, there were some signs that things were amiss.
2:18.1	You know, the Hans Shooting, the Hans Shooting Second, which is now, I think if you watch Star Wars shoot, Han shooting second.
2:25.0	Which is now, I think if you watch Star Wars, A New Hope on Disney Plus,
