Y'know, it doesn't really help that Hayden's got that closed-mouth serial killer grin going on. Maybe that's Anakin's idea of a relaxing smile.

Does it really brake your brain to think Anakin would want to look like Hayden Christenson rather than a poor schizophrenic or some 77 year old nobody.

No, that's not what Luke is. That was never the point of the story, not even when Shaw was the ghost. Luke is a grown-up. He doesn't need his father looking "down" on him or watching over him.

You have a really weird idea of what it means to be an adult. You can still think fondly about your parents.

Cnut seems to be applying a double standard that Obi-Wan couldn't choose to look how he wanted to look but Anakin could. everyone else looks how they looked when they died, and even if you buy into the "Anakin died when he came Darth Vader", which, by the way, I don't, he already had done a bunch of evil stuff in the version of Hayden they picked to go with so that doesn't hold water either.

I hate the Anakin/Darth Vader are completely separate people thing. If that's true, it happened when Anakin was given the name in the place where he cut off Mace's hand.

Seriously ever since TFA Cnut has been on a poo poo posting rampage.

What does a fighter squadron have to do with espionage anyway? I thought that story was supposed to be all about the bothans. The many bothans who died to bring us this information. Wait is that line from rotj, I think it might.

Don't know if this was posted yet but some "sources" have narrowed the lead for the Han Solo movie to Alden Ehrenreich after an impressive performance during screen tests - http://deadline.com/2016/04/star-wars-han-solo-movie-alden-ehrenreich-frontrunner-cast-1201737425/
Others in the narrowed subgroup include Taron Egerton and Jack Reynor but apparently Ehrenreich's performance was the best.

If you don't know who Alden Ehrenreich is, he played the cowboy actor Hobie in Hail, Caesar! this year.

He's also the reason Anakin Skywalker turned evil. (slightly NSFW I guess)

I got roped on a rewatch even though I would have been perfectly fine just drinking a beer or two while waiting for others ugh

I'm just more convinced that this is a terrible movie. I thought I might have remembered it wrong but no, they really explain poo poo all about what happened between the movies, why the villains do anything they do or even who the gently caress they are. Is this really just me? I mean if I was a kid and I was expected to read a novel before a film to understand what is going on and nobody told me that I would think that was some bullshit. I don't expect the movie to explain everything but come on.

Kylo Ren was even worse this time. What a worthless villain, Jesus.

That's not in fact how movies work. I don't regularly find myself wondering what the gently caress is going on in a movie sequel, believe or not. Like take Avengers II, at no point was I baffled about where the gently caress Ultron came from and who he is or why the Avengers were in the situation they were in. This isn't me being a stickler about the franchise, I like that they went with new direction but they have to explain who the gently caress the main villain is. That's not asking too much. This is not a completely original story it is an addition to an existing one and I deserve thirty seconds of exposition goddamnit if you're calling them "First Order" instead of "Empire" :mad:

Kylo Ren doesn't own unless he was intended to be comic relief, in that case I completely misread the tone and he was great

I mean, they just didn't explain who Snoke was, and who Rey's family is. That's it. The First Order is a buncha Empire lovers who continued what they started, and Kylo Ren is the broken, mentally unstable, son of lovely father Han Solo, and decided to to take a different path to spite his dad for being poo poo.

I mean, prior to the prequels, we knew nothing about Palpy outside of he's evil and wants to murder everyone that doesn't cooperate with the Empire.

On the other hand, there are tons of fighter pilots present at the victory ceremony. They don't seem to have a shortage of pilots, why let the new guy fly at all? Maybe he was good at sims.
