I have no idea, it depends if it is meant for more younger viewers which I would be fine with but it might not interest me as much… I treat individual films as just that, even if they are sequels or prequels. I like films based on their own merits or if I find them attractive or something interesting, I am looking forward to plenty of other films.
It’s not the end of the world if I don’t find episode VIII interesting… I might just watch the anthology films and chose to skip the main continuation of the Saga.
I will definitely go and see
Silence
Dunkirk
Alien Covenant
Bladerunner 2
50/50 on Ghost in the shell
Dark Tower - Was Really looking forward to it but I don’t dig the whole alternate reality slant they put on it so I’ll miss that one.
