Just got back from the midnight showing (after watching Episodes 7 and 8 first). Won't spoil anything, but I was not impressed.
I missed at least the first two at the cinema. I've been going to the cinema since such a young age, I can't actually remember when I started going, it's entirely possible I caught RotJ at the cinema during it's initial run. For me, the original trilogy films were mainstays of Christmas and Easter TV. I did see them in the cinema for their release ahead of the prequel trilogy. I've owned them all on vhs, dvd, blu ray and digital. I really enjoyed Force Awakens, I loved the Last Jedi.
So that's where I'm coming from.
For me, Rise of the Skywalker made a lot of, at best questionable decisions (at worst, plain bad decisions), it felt flat, unoriginal, lacking in any sense of visual style - like they'd been burned by previous criticisms and this time played it too safe. People were laughing during some supposedly tense emotional scenes toward the end.
I'll watch it again (I will still rewatch the prequel trilogy, despite not being massively enamoured with them). At the very least to see if I was just tired out from watching all three of the sequel trilogy in one evening, My friend really liked it, so maybe my opinion would change on second viewing. Maybe.
To what extent did watching the three films back to back feel like one whole piece of work coming together?
No doubt the movie buffs will tell me it was crap, but I don't care, because I loved it.
I just paid £12.25 inc booking fee (Brighton Odeon)I have a limitless card so don’t really look at ticket prices but noticed that odeon is charging £14.25 per ticket! Insane.

I'm looking forward to it.
I'm also amazed that people actually consider the prequel things to be Star Wars films.
Okay.
Online it says £14.25
There are many pricing variants, not one is £12.25 online.
Congratulations! I guess.
Thanks. Whatever you're getting the prices from (even if it's Odeon's website), appears to be wrong.Okay.

They were dog shit, weren’t they.

I just clicked on the 6pm showing of SW today, clicked on 'book as guest' and adults are £12.25. Which is what I paid earlier.
I watched the first half hour or so of the first one. Walked out and swore never to see another minute of any of them. Which I have stuck to.
"Oh but the third one is quite good and....." I don't care. It's not Star Wars.
I've enjoyed the Disney ones. Yeah lot's of faults, but it IS Star Wars and it means my nipper's generation has got to experience the whole excitement/experience that I got from the originals.
