Hi!

Topic for this week: *Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi, aka the middle movie of the Sequel trilogy.

Any special feelings about this one, this time around? Would you watch this movie if...

  • you were bored and it came up on the TV? (Pretend that you still own a TV that receives broadcast programming.)
  • a friend/partner/child wanted to see it?
  • they were doing a screening in the local cinema?
    • and you got free tickets?
  • you had free time and wanted to treat yourself?
  • someone held a gun to your head? :D

Hi!

The theme for this chat corner is "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens", the first movie of the Sequel trilogy. It was released in December of 2015 (nearly ten years!), and directed by J. J. Abrams.

Any thoughts, feels, or opinions you'd like to share about this movie?

Alternatively, if you'd like a more abstract prompt: what's your strongest SW-related memory from 2015?

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

The topic for this week is Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the last move of the Sequel trilogy and (so far) the last ever Star Wars movie.

Come to chat! Some prompts, should you need them:

  • If you could ask anybody a question about this movie, what question it would be, and who would you ask?
  • Is there a question you would like to be asked about this film? (And how would you answer?)

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week's topic is the movie The Last Jedi, the second in part of the Sequel Trilogy.

What are your thoughts? Imagine you're making small talk and this movie comes up. What do you do? Jump right in? Pretend you're not there? Something in between?

Alternatively, a prompt: If you could write a letter to one character in this movie (protagonist, antagonist, side character, some complete rando from the background), what would you send them? Bonus, it's a paper letter and you can include anything in the envelope.

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week's chat topic is Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the first movie of the Sequel Trilogy.

What are your thoughts?

Or, hey, lets have a prompt: which of the newly introduced characters you would bring:

  • grocery shopping?
  • on a 3-hour-long car drive?
  • to an art gallery?

...and how would it go?

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week the topic is the movie “The Rise of Skywalker”, the last of the Sequel Trilogy and the as-yet-still last Star Wars film.

Yes? No? Rather not talk about it? (And reminder, you’re welcome to speak your opinions, whatever they are, but be kind to the others here who might not share them.)

If you don’t feel like talking TRoS itself… it isn’t that long since 2019, is it? How did the SW fandom change for you since that time? Did it change at all?

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week, the topic is the second movie of the Sequel trilogy, The Last Jedi. The middle one, the controversial one, the one that tried to go its own way…

A challenge for you: if you dislike the movie, what’s one thing you like on it? If you do like it, what’s something you don’t? And if you’re completely indifferent, what’s one part of it you do care about, whether negatively or positively?

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

Today is movie time: the topic is the first of the Sequel Trilogy movie, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”. If you’ve been here last time we’ve talked about it, do you have any new thoughts? If not, what do you think about it?

By the way, the movie premiered in December 2015, which means it’s now over 7 years old. It’s been a while! Have you seen it in the cinema? What was it like?

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week, the optional prompt is “Phasma“, the canon novel about the character of the same name. It came out in 2017, and it was one of the books tied to the second sequel movie, The Last of the Jedi.

Anyone here has read it? Did you like it? Would you recommend it? Phasma has been a fan-popular character after the first movie (certainly also because of Gwendoline Christie’s general charisma) - does the book live up to that?

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week, the topic is “Before the Awakening”, an anthology of three stories that show what Finn, Rey, and Poe were doing before the movie.

It’s a junior readers’ book, but it’s also written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Phil Noto, which are some very interesting names to see together!

Has anybody read this? What did you think?

Aside from that, this week it’s a year since Dreamwars started :) This is honestly so cool - and it’s all your work, folks, there would be no comm without the people who come and talk. So I want to say, you’re all awesome, whether you’re here every week or you commented exactly once.

And since I’m reminiscing, what has your “year in Star Wars” been like? Anything interesting that’s happened to you? New story you’ve found (be it canon, Legends, or fic), an event, a fandom interaction? Have you created something you’re proud of? I’m honestly curious!

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

The prompt for this week is “The Rise of Skywalker”, the last movie in the Sequel trilogy.

I know this movie is Controversial (TM), so:

  • If you need to rant, The Dark Side post is here for you (link your comments here so people can find them)
  • If you liked the movie, don’t be afraid to say so!

Also, a meta note: have you noticed that we have just the right amount of SW movies for a monthly post to cover the entire year? Very satisfying. I’m thinking of starting the cycle next month again with Episode I. What do you think? Good idea, or would you rather something new?

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week’s prompt is “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”, the second movie in the Sequel trilogy.

Just as with the first Sequel movie, I remind you to use The Dark Side post as necessary, so there’s some space left for people who enjoyed the film. If you did, the floor is yours ;)

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week’s prompt, if you want one, is “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, the first movie in the Sequel trilogy. Old characters return, new characters appear, new story begins.

Because I know this is a sore topic for many, I’d like to remind you to use The Dark Side post as necessary, and keep this space positive-to-neutral. If you slide into a rant, just post it there and link it here (“I have thoughts but they’re mean: <link>”).

And of course, it’s an optional topic - if you don’t feel like it, you don’t have to talk about it ;) I’m sure we can find something else :D
