NS Special Edition - Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker spoiler zone

Now, under normal circumstances, we wouldn't make a post on a non-comics related topic, but this is a little different from the norm.

We've just seen the release of "Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker", the ostensible end of a nine movie series released over a period of FORTY TWO YEARS, and which irrevocably changed the face of sci-fi fandom from 1977 to date, for good or illh

I have very fond memories of going to see the first movie with my father not long after it first came out in the UK. I won't share my opinions on the last one in here, I'll save that for the comments.

So be warned, the comments here will be spoiler filled, so if you want to remain pristine and unspoiled before seeing the movie, then DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS!

Please also note that this is the ONLY place that SW IX spoilers should be discussed, as a courtesy to other posters.

Warned you have been! Listen you should! Fun have!

I heard test screenings had some major character deaths (including the Falcon destroyed) but audience hated it so dropped.

Here's a secret: For all their talk on wanting something fresh, a lot of Star Wars fans hate actual change.

Why must change always be character death? Why can't change ever be "the characters finally get the happy ending they richly deserve?"
