Happy May the 4th!

Today we are announcing the final MwM Star Wars episode. It's still early going but I already have a few thousand words written out. I will do my best not to piss of the internet but all of you know I'm 0-2 with that one. 

I think for whoever was waiting for this episode, you will get something out of it. I hope we all find our way out of the woods (I couldn't *not* comment on the current shape of the world). I'm ready to unpack all the boxes in the attic, so to speak :) It's Rise of Skywalker time.

Ask any FilmJoy questions you have! I'm excited to revisit the well one last time.

I am SO EXCITED to hear your thoughts on Rise. TLJ was my favourite of the sequels, and it was very disheartening to see the public reaction to someone doing something remotely new and unexpected with the franchise, and then to see how hard the studio veered in the opposite direction.

Oh I am SO PUMPED for this one. I felt like I was the only one defending TLJ for a long time and then your video made me feel so vindicated. I have...different feelings on Rise, but I am so looking forward to your thoughts on this one. Even if you feel opposite of my take on it, you always have such good reasoning behind any given take on a movie. Excited!

You're 2-0 on my Star Wars score card.

I'm very curious to see where you go with this one. I probably like this one more than most but don't love it, it's really a mess in a lot of places. I do maintain that Carrie Fisher's passing was a huge blow to being able to give the story some of the beats it really needed. At least you can count on no matter what you say people will continue to be angry about Star Wars on the internet.

more than anything, I'm just glad something i can enjoy will come out of that movie finally.

Fancy McShane

As one of the tribe to have sworn off all Stars content of Wars or Trek to preserve what little fond memories remain, this will be the one exception. Until your inevitable next video on either one. Let’s not pretend there are any absolutes left.

But wait though, you say here that this will be your final MwM Star Wars episode. Does this mean you foresee no future occasion on which you feel compelled to opine about Star Wars, or did you simply mean to say that this will be your final episode about the most recent Episodes (movies)?

Charlie Miller

I'm very excited for this one. Rise of Skywalker is a film that for me went beyond "it's a bad movie" and fully into "this is a cynically crafted, actively malicious piece of work," so I'm very curious to see if you can tease out some positivity in there to make me see it in a new light.

Clayton Grey

The movie that made me stop liking Star Wars, but a video I'm sure I'll get some new perspective from. Looking forward to it.

Oof. Yeah I have real mixed feelings about this film. I'm sure they did their best in difficult circumstances, but also dropped the ball so hard it left a dent in the floor.

I loved the hell out of The Last Jedi but had zero interest in Rise of Skywalker. I still haven't seen it. Same thing happened with the Hobbit trilogy: I saw the second film, hit a wall, still haven't seen the third, and don't feel that I'm missing out. I do love The Discourse, though, so I'll happily watch this.

Patrick Edward Quinn

Neat. I look forward to seeing it. I kind of hope that the future being the magical mystery tour that it is, that "last" winds up being something more like "not until there is good reason", but whatever the future may bring, it's cool.
