I watched the movie again last night and I already liked it less than I did on opening night. This one's not going to age very well at all.

Captain Jesus posted:I'm baffled by the posters who are weirded out by "the kiss" because Kylo and Rey are technically cousins. Even if we accept that Palpatine actually created Anakin (based on some stupid comic book, not necessarily supported by the movies), I don't really think we're supposed to imagine it as Palpatine teleporting his jizz into Shmi's uterus, so he would be Anakin's father in a comparable way to a scientist doing in vitro fertilization. The prequels imply that Anakin is so powerful because he was created through the Force, not because his secret dad is a powerful wizard. Even if you really want to see Rey and Ben as related, "the kiss" is still way less gross than the thought of Sheev having sex.

I posted this in the other thread, but apparently that comic wasn’t even trying to say that. https://twitter.com/culturecrave/status/1208880844066017280?s=21 Palpatine was using the story of Anakin’s conception to make this implication to manipulate him into thinking the Dark Side has that kind of power, and could also save Padme. And Anakin fell for it.

Anakin is not Sheev’s idiot son, this line of thinking is just loving stupid and the weirdest form of concern trolling I have seen in ages

The funniest part of this movie is JJ making it 100% clear from literally the first two sentences of the opening scroll that he's a bad improv partner who is just going to completely ignore the hand-off. Once I got over that I liked the movie just fine. It's a dumb thing to do and I'd be much more interested in what RJ thought should close out the series, but at least he went all in on it.

I teared up a little when Han showed up but that's because I lost my dad suddenly earlier this year and the idea of being able to see him one more time would be really nice. I also threw my lightsaber into the ocean but for different reasons.

2house2fly posted:they'd have even more luck if they used a Death Star, or a Mega-Class star destroyer. The reason they don't use either of those is the same reason they don't use Y-wings They have Y-Wings, and Y-Wings are old tanky SOBs. They're based on drat buster bombers, that carried a light payload to hit strategic targets. Someone downthread said TLJ's opening was Johnson wanting to finally do a WWII bombing run which makes no sense because that's what the trench run was. What Y-Wings don't have is the ability to dump payloads. But it's more believable for the rebellion to have Y-Wings than to be fielding a wing of brand new bombers that are shiny and fragile. They could've tied it into the weapon manufacturers later more pointedly as an intentionally flawed product sold cheap but they didn't. But bombers work because they're supposed to be far removed from their targets. Carpet bombing from a height where small arms are a factor is a bad implementation. The gravity doesn't matter, they had rail deployment, plus it's ww2 in space, bombers are an integral part of ww2 air combat. Honestly the bombers were really disappointing because they were made of paper. If you want to make it an homage to WWII bombers go ahead and make it a flying fortress. Have Rose complete the mission crash it back into the hanger being guided in by flight control, half the ship missing and her sister dying/dead in the pilot seat. Really enjoy the themes that TLJ explores while acknowledging the flaws and there are many, bombers included. PJOmega fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Dec 23, 2019 |

Chewie getting his medal 9 movies and 40+ years later reminds me of the last Metal Gear game, an 80 million dollar game that almost bankrupted Konami where the ending is revealed to be a retcon fix for a plot hole in an NES game lmfao

There's actually no genetic significance to Rey and Ren being related to Palpatine, he just remotely force-impregnated so many women he was bound to sire a couple of Chosen Ones.

It's weird because their relationship has never felt remotely romantic or even sexual. It felt like they kissed solely because it's a movie so of course boy and girl kiss at end.

Rey and Ben are aunt and nephew or cousin and cousin, snoke is the sad sack of the galaxy, and I'm not sure if Rey's mom or dad is the Palpatine, but since it's star wars it could be both!

The "not to me" line in TLJ is like the single most caring thing anyone says to her in the whole trilogy.

And even then he was trying to turn her to the dark side by convincing her nobody else could possibly care about her. There was definitely some tension going on when they were Force skyping before that tho

ungulateman posted:people remember the actually compelling parts of tlj and sort of mentally edit out the parts they don't like, like the entire fourth act of the film, Yeah, this. TLJ was okay, not amazing, right up until the last 30-45 minutes of the movie. Then it completely hosed itself.

When did Disney lose creativity? The alien and general art design of the ST was bad. You’d think Lucas Film being bought by a company that used to be known for creativity wouldn’t lead to this. We need a new alien, how should we design it? Give it 2 arms, 2 legs, and squish it’s face.

I'm sure somebody has already groused about this but: one of the better things Rian handed off to the third movie was the idea that the Resistance was so decimated that they all fit onto the Millennium Falcon and JJ was like "lol nope there's still a ton of them". They've been extremely stupid about representing how big the resistance is and the relationship to the republic since day one though so why stop now.

Sooo it's holiday family time and we watched TLJ to refresh our memories on what happened before seeing RoS and: 1. Nobody remembered TLJ despite having seen it 2. One family member has decided not to go see RoS because of how monotonous TLJ was 3. Goddamn TLJ felt long 4. The last 20min were especially bad
