Then there is of course the flip side to this stupid scene. I'm not even sure how those TIE torpedoes got through the ships shields, I guess they were special torpedoes? Oh and while we're at it, she suffered absolutely no injuries whilst getting blown out of the exploding ships bridge. The rebels simply open the flippin' door! Everyone would have been sucked out into space in a matter of seconds for flips sake. To make matters even worse, when she flies/floats back to the ship, there was no airlock. That aside, its still almost impossible to get past how stupid this entire sequence looked and felt. Yes we know Leia has force abilities (as we saw in Bespin), and we know its entirely possible she has grown stronger with the force since then. Princess Leia: Oh boy! Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! We've all heard about this now but I can't just ignore it. Also, if you look closely the bomber hangar doors are already open when the pilot triggers the bombs. In the nick of time the rebel pilot is able to drop the bombs, but how can bombs 'drop' when in space? What about TIE Bombers you say? Well I always thought TIE Bombers fired their bombs downward, like torpedoes essentially, but straight down. The rebels have one last bomber and one chance to hit their target. Unfortunately things aren't going too well and the Resistance (Rebels) are being slaughtered. Poe bravely tries to bring down a First Order (Empire) dreadnought during the first space battle. Poe mocking Hux with his communications tomfoolery, or as we in reality call it, a lame mobile (cell) phone gag. The first real dialog we get is an absolutely horrendous back and forth between Hux and Poe. Alas here he has seemingly been reduced to an actual jokey comedic character that could so easily have been torn from the pages of a spoof. Hux was a relatively solid slimy character introduced in the previous movie. General Hux and the beginning: Twas this opening sequence that really bemused and worried me right away (as it did with many). I'm simply gonna list my thoughts in sections and try to keep them as tight as possible. So this time I'm gonna go with a slightly new layout.
#Star wars episode 7 latest news movie#
Thing is, there is literally so much I could say about this movie it could possibly go on and on. Well this was my second viewing and I now feel I can get into this fully. Surely this couldn't be strike two for the new Star Wars trilogy? (I disliked 'The Force Awakens' also). Truth be told I disliked it on my first viewing.but there were elements I liked. The UK will also likely pick up episode 8 too but not until the release date of episode 9 as Disney uses it as a promotion for the next movie about to launch in the cinema.Īre you looking forward to Star Wars episode 8 coming to Netflix? Let us know in the comments down below.The first time I saw this movie I couldn't really review it properly, I needed more time, I needed to see it again.

Netflix Australia did pick up Rogue One in September 2017 so it may be the case that they get Episode 8 added in September 2018 but there’s no official word on that. Canada usually gets the release around the same time as the US so you can once again expect a summer release. Netflix Canada has been getting brand new theatrical Disney titles long before Netflix US did and we suspect that’ll continue for Episode 8. Other Netflix Regions Getting Star Wars Episode 8 Movies are roughly leaving Netflix around a year and a half after they release on Netflix so you can expect it to leave in late 2019 or early 2020. The move comes after Disney chose not to renew the contract it has with Netflix and instead create its own streaming platform. You’ll have plenty of time to watch Episode 8 on Netflix but you should be warned that both Rogue One and Star Wars Episode 9 will be leaving Netflix in 2019. Star Wars Episode 8 Will Be Leaving Netflixĭon’t panic. That means Star Wars Episode 8 comes to Netflix US in July 2018.

Rogue One came to Netflix in July 2017 and Episode 8 will follow the exact same release pattern. New Disney movies come to Netflix US around eight months after their theatrical debut.
