Topics
Ben认为《天行者崛起》是一部成功的爆米花电影，节奏快，娱乐性强，值得反复观看。他特别喜欢丘巴卡获得勋章、莱伊·天行者的人物设定、凯洛·伦的角色塑造以及一些粉丝向服务场景，例如莱伊和凯洛在死星上的战斗以及最后的决战。但他同时也指出，影片中过多的粉丝向服务可能会降低影片的艺术性，使其难以成为经久不衰的佳作。 David则认为《天行者崛起》虽然观影体验很好，但影片结束后并没有像其他星战电影一样给观众留下深刻的印象。他认为影片中前往赌场星球的剧情显得冗长且毫无意义，并且影片结尾的战斗场面缺乏创意，只是简单地增加了敌人数量，这让他联想到了《黑客帝国3》和《哈利波特》系列电影中类似的设定。此外，他还对凯洛·伦救活莱伊的场景逻辑混乱表示不满。 Chetan认为星战三部曲应该由一位导演执导，以保持其视觉风格的一致性。他指出，《最后的绝地武士》中忽略了《原力觉醒》中提出的重要问题，这使得剧情显得支离破碎。他认为《原力觉醒》是现代版的《新希望》，拥有新的角色和精良的特效，但情节相似。他认为莱恩·约翰逊的导演风格与J·J·艾布拉姆斯不同，导致影片风格不统一。

Shownotes Transcript

Let's face it, Acquired borders on Star Wars fan podcast anyway. So we dipped our toe in the water of making it official, with our review of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

We are joined by fellow Star Wars nerd and repeat special guest, Chetan Puttagunta, General Partner at Benchmark. In this episode, we nearly avoid any business analysis or speculation on the technology, media, or enterprise ecosystems, with only a brief revisit to the question: "Was it worth it for Disney to buy Lucasfilm?"

Did we love it, hate it, or want to bury it like the prequels? Tune in! There are definitely spoilers, so be warned!
