Also, Finn can't be racist because he's circumcised and doesn't put beans in his chili like some kind of heathen.

Star Wars spoilers

Luke was 100% vindicated in his decision when Rey reaches out to Ben, tells him she doesn't think he's evil and he can still be saved, and his response is to start talking about killing everyone because gently caress it, he wants to burn everything down because its all too complicated, maaaaan. That response basically means that Luke was entirely right - there was just pure evil in him and he needed to die.

Snoke is the villain, we're not counting that.

Seems to me like you're just blaming Holdo for Poe loving up. If he had just known his place, he wouldn't have helped in a stupid mission that got everyone killed. This is in keeping with the opening where again, if Poe had just known his place and listened to orders, they wouldn't have been handed a Pyrrhic victory.

So again, we're back to Luke, Leia and Holdo were right about everything, and everything young people did just hosed it all up.

More Star Wars spoilers
Rey didn't travel back in time and try to convert Kylo Ren at the same time Luke did. Luke very clearly doesn't have perfect knowledge and maybe Ben could have been redeemed if he didn't think Luke was trying to murder him. Kylo Ren now has been through some poo poo that has dragged him far deeper into darkness since then. Holdo smugly talking down to Poe was as wrongheaded as his refusal to trust her. Poe wasn't right for what he did, but she hosed up as a commander by refusing to earn the trust or respect of her troops. You unilaterally dismissing Snoke just because he's a villain is stupid. His downfall is keeping in the themes of the film as much as every other failure.

His downfall is keeping in the themes of the film as much as every other failure.

We'd need to know, basically, loving anything about Snoke and what he did to Ben to get him on his side in the first place to presume that there was significant changes between then and now. As it stands now, all we have is that even after Rey did try to reach out to Ben and do what she felt Luke should have done, it didn't work and he's still evil.

This is just as applicable an argument to why Poe needed to learn to respect the chain of command as it is about Holdo not explaining every part of her plan to all of the soldiers, so its basically shoehorning it in to try and make it stick. And either way it still doesn't excuse that Poe engaged in one of the biggest fuckups in the movies, and the blood of innocent people is on his, Finn's and Rose's hands.

Snoke dying had nothing to do with a mistake he made or a frailty or an old way of thinking, he was just tricked. Also, I don't even care that much about Star Wars, but even I know the Sith are supposed to expect that their apprentice always tries to kill them and take their place, so it seems more that the guy just straight up forgot the basics of his own universe.

Poe was a dumbass, should have spent the entire movie in the brig, was responsible for almost 100% of the rebel deaths, and should have died at numerous points throughout the movie.

I kinda wish it’d been Leia, just so we don’t have to deal with the question in the next movie

Last Jedi is an average movie. I really enjoyed it on an emotional level, but as a nerd I was turned off by the massive number of plot holes introduced The Resistance starts the movie with several hundred troops, ends with enough to fit on the Falcon. The First Order has managed to rebound from their Death Planet destruction to conquering the galaxy in like a week or two tops. Big continuity stuff!

How is that a plot hole? You spend 10 mins of the movie watching their escape vessels get shot out of space . Of course there's less of them!

That's not just a nitpick either, it's kind of part of the point of the movie. He's not a sith, he's just a dark-side sensitive guy trying to imitate the old masters with goofy praetorian guards striking poses and a big red throne chamber that's really just construction paper over the walls. It's a useful pretense because Ben is so hung up on this vader-successor thing. In reality, Snoke is completely blind to what his "apprentice" is doing or thinking.

You know what? I can almost agree with this. Contradicting popular opinion I feel that ESB is only a hair's breadth better than RotJ because the Luke vs. Vader scenes were very well done.

If the Ewoks weren't literally teddy bears I'd unironically agree with this take. But I guess they still eat Stormtroopers so that's kinda wicked.

At the risk of being wrong I think you're confused here. Black people and casinos was a historical stereotype brought up during Cuphead chat because of the historical art style having actually used that stereotype. Modern day casino stereotypes are native american owners and little old white ladies pumping their retirement money into slot machines. Maybe if he made it rain you'd have something, but as far as I know there's no prominent modern stereotype of black people and casinos.

We'd need to see what the gently caress he does in response. We know he's a coward, so theres a chance he will just do nothing, but he also is a bully with incredibly thin skin, and may try to withdraw or declare the UN terrorists or some poo poo.
