TROS Viewings

Whilst we might be at the end of the ‘Skywalker saga’, I think we are only in the beginning of what Disney’s Lucasfilm are going to create, and I think we will see loads more books, games and comics, lots more TV projects, but also, eventually, many more films in the future.

“This is only the beginning!”

 

Saw TRoS for the 15th time yesterday... and I just went for a 16th viewing
That might be it for me, got a busy week coming up and I don’t know if it’ll still be showing after Thursday. It was a good run though!

 

Congratulations. You have seen it a few times for me where I have been unable to attend further viewings myself as I would have liked.

None of the ST films has been what I imagined they would be for thirty years, but I don't think it is fair to hold that against the films themselves. I've really enjoyed them for what they are and have liked the new characters. Whatever flaws it may have I like TROS for the good in it. I find it gives a satisfying conclusion to Ben Solo's arc.

 

Still at one viewing. Busy weeks since christmas. So it looks I won't get a chance for a second viewing as it is already moving out of theaters or at least moving to slots no one can attend.

 

This movie is still in theaters???

 

Yep

 

Just once.
I never really see the point in going more than once, even when I enjoy a movie (as I enjoyed TROS.) It will be available for home viewing soon enough. With the OT, I saw each movie a few times in the theater, but that was because (a) I didn't even have a VCR back then, so I didn't know when I'd be able to see it again once it left the theater, and (b) I was much younger then, and time moves slowly when you're a kid. I'm middle age now, and time flies by. Watching Episode 3 in the theater still feels pretty recent for me!

 

Two viewings.

As a father of two kids under 5, I consider this an accomplishment.

Does anyone know when it will be on Disney+?

 

Managed to get another two viewings in and I’m hoping to see it again. I know, it’s kinda ridiculous at this point. But I’m still loving it every time.

 

There clearly hasn't been nearly enough repeat viewings to make much of a dent at the box office, that's for sure.

 

Yeah... so there's only one thing for it. I shall have to go and see again.

 

I wonder if people have some "flat rate movie card" how would that reflect in boxoffice?

 

I know one of the commentators I am subscribed to has watched this film 21 times (the absolute madlad) and has most if not all of the merchandise. As Grievous would say, another one for my collection.

Normally I would agree with you. But TROS is such a feast for the eyes I don't mind spending money on it. There are a few films I've seen that I loved, but haven't bothered to watch it on tv, because the small screen...even a flat screen tv won't capture the magic. The 2017 version of Beauty and the Beast comes to mind.

FYI I have seen it 14 times. I am thinking of seeing it tomorrow again.

 

I have watched it 21 times now too. Can I be an "absolute madlad"?

 

If you insist...

 

I watched TROS only once and it was more than fine for me. I will wait the DVD now but I am not going to buy it immediately. I will wait a few months or maybe some offers.
