Hey, so, if you actually have spoilers to post, please use the spoiler tag, because it's not like I was able to not see what you wrote simply because you said it was a spoiler.SPOILER ALERT....
Jar Jar Binks nephew will be in this film.
Top Gun, like most revered 80s action films, sucks. I'm assuming he made the comparison based on the whole aerial dog fight thing, but Top Gun used a lot of boring stock footage to the point where it often didn't even match up with the expected action.
Anyway, it was a dumb script with pedestrian directing. Just like 48 Hours, Beverly Hills Cop, Lethal Weapon, etc. Really have no idea why anybody liked that crap then or would even care for it now. Practically nothing from mainstream Hollywood in the 1980s holds up today other than the blockbusters that broke ground such as Ghostbusters or well scripted stuff like the films of James Brooks. Likewise, it's all garbage today as well with the six major studios basically creating (or buying) one great film a year in order to hope it turns into hundreds of millions of box office receipts thanks to Oscar nominations.

Watching Episode 5 tonight. Hearing this is widely considered the best of them all, so pumped.
Okay, after being a bit underwhelmed by A New Hope, I fucking loved Empire Strikes Back. From start to finish, tremendous. So much better than episode 4. So much energy, no flat scenes, suspense through the roof, better action, better script, AND, it leaves you hanging!!! How many movies leave you waiting on such a big cliffhanger..... and not only that, but it was three years til the next movie.
Donald Glover is going to be such a good Lando Calrissian.
You're such an unrelenting attention whore.
"I'm an older guy who hasn't seen Star Wars! And I like it now!"
Fuck the fuck off. Seriously.
You know, GAF, sometimes it's best to just not post if you're just going to be an asshole for no good reason.

You won't have to wait nearly as long for the pandering bag of poop that is Return of the Jedi. Keep your expectations in check and try to make it to the end where most of its not-quite-redeeming qualities are.
Good one. You fucking jackass.
We're gonna need a little more than that. Hot takes on Yoda, Luke vs Vader, the carbon freezing, etc.
Well that's one of the questions I've been meaning to ask. Why is Star Wars the cultural phenomenon that it is, if only A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back are considered good?
Surely there has to be goodness to be found in Episodes 6, 1, 2, 3, 7..?
Don't listen to Laz, Cobbler. ROTJ isn't as good as Empire(Empire is the best, after all), but it isn't the garbage some people make it out to be. Don't let the whopping 15 total minutes of Ewoks ruin it for you. It's still arguably better than any of the prequels.
IMO of course.
