Well. This is me officially saying I hate you all Americans for getting this wonderful Bo-Katan Black Series figure before everyone else. I need one. I need one of each of the nite owls... I mean. Bo-Katan and the girl. Could not care less about the dude. So Lucasfilm 50th anniversary amirite? And... A new Jar Jar figure... An ep 1 battle droid "roger roger". But nothing from the so called sequels. That warms my dark side heart =) At least they know figures from those movies do not sell. Speaking about Jar Jar... I'm sure you guys saw this... https://twitter.com/Kevin__Cassidy/status/1356310857744076802 |

I'm sure you guys saw this... https://twitter.com/Kevin__Cassidy/status/1356310857744076802The fact that they CHOSE to produce/rerelease a JARJAR figure above the new sequels... wow. That is really something. Darth JarJar is officially cooler than Kylo Ren? That's not entirely fair, I love playing Ren on occasion in SWBF 2, and he does look cool. Not his fault about nonsensical plot, it's impossible to act your way around bad script. I'd still buy a flameberge from US or some type of BA figurine. Even if just for the occasional chuckle. I'll purposefully let it stand in the shadow of Jar Jar on the shelf. Thanks for giving me my laughing myself into tears for the day. |

I for one do not hold any grudges against actors. I love Adam Driver. And Daisy Ridley was ok. The problem has always been the characters story/developpment and oh the lack of a plot whatsoever. |

This. Adam Driver could have done so much more with a better writer/director.... especially if they just went ahead and made him Jacen. But the head of Gentle Giant himself said in an interview last year that the market isn't there for Sequel Characters. |

Damn shame for those of us who did end up enjoying the sequels. Kylo is arguably my favorite character of the franchise at this point. |

Pretty dang valid points, I'll agree with both of you there... I lost interest before the last movie, and need to find a copy to watch still. As I said, I do enjoy tearing through rebels as Ren, he has some sick moves and power, so I'll admit it's not ALL irredeemably bad. If I can keep my eyes from bleeding I'll attempt it at the earliest convenience. I've watched enough movies to know I will have seen worst, and will inevitably again. I need to look through everything I have to see if I have anything that survived to be posted here. I fear everything noteworthy was lost or sold without my consent a long time ago. So I have total collectable envy now... |

Kit Fisto is a fairly recent release. He's still in stock at BigBadToystore though. |

Now ill give a heads-up that although I am a large fan of the sequels on the whole, that if im being fair, TRoS is probably the weakest entry. I still enjoy it a bunch, but there werre some odd decisions made for that film to be sure. So if I'm saying that you can take that one to heart. I very much enjoy Kylo's story arc in the last movie but I know for a lot of people TRoS was especially rough, especially with the movie opening with a pretty jarring shift of focus when it comes to the baddies. Though if visuals are something you can appreciate I will let you know that it is an absolutely gorgeous movie by any standard visually and audially. I guess what Im saying is if you like the sequels I recommend it! If you didnt like TFA / TLJ I wouldnt expect too much out of TRoS. If anything its a good pop-corn muncher. |

The most accurate description is I watched them in sequence with slowly decreasing enjoyment and exponentially rising confusion, and it sounds like that trend just kept on a trucking... But I'll swallow that pill one day too, as a "dedicated fan" I owe it to myself to put myself through it 1st hand and decide for myself after. I may need to become heavily inebriated, but it'll happen. If I wind up seriously enjoying it...that's when I'll truly have to question all aspects of my life after. Yep, felt like staring into the abyss with the abyss staring back just thinking that thought. |

For transparency, I liked (not Loved) TFA. HATED TLJ and only just watched TRoS the other day..and didn't even finish it. I wish I could say I was so angry I cut it off in a huff...because that would at least be a reaction. But I wound up bored and started reading scary stories on my phone till I realized it was still on.

The worst part, well one of the worst parts, of the sequel trilogy is that TFA, though not the best SW film, set up for something that could've been easily as good as the OT or PT. I don't know if y'all have heard this, but apparently JJ had originally intended for Luke to me meditating and have massive boulders floating around him when Rey found him, but Rian asked if he could change that one thing. Literally, if that one thing hadn't have been changed, the entire ST would've been completely different, and more than likely, AWESOME! But of course, we all know how it turned out, and I don't hate the ST like so many do. It was just such a let down from what it could've and should've been. But yeah, no hate to the actors, they actually did a great job with what was given to them.
Also, love the Cara Funko Tepes. Not a huge Funko fan, but Cara is awesome.
