Imagine if episode 7 had gone full Dragonball Z. "I wonder who Rey will fuse with next after Finn and Han Solo? Luke or Leia? Do you think she'll succeed at learning to do the spirit bomb technique?"

Hell I'm interested in what happens in the next movie. The Resistance is smaller than ever, but the First Order has also been couped and seems to be less about taking over the galaxy and more about destruction for its own sake. That's going to be interesting.

Luke dies at the beggining of the movie and has to spend the rest of the film training through hell so he can learn to go to super Jedi level 2 and defeat the big bad space genie.

I wasn't a big fan of this one and yeah it felt like it all amounted to nothing. Wow, that Dreadnought is pretty big, right? Oh wow, Snoke's ship is even bigger! It's just so weird that an entry in Star Wars is so devoted to killing the old religion, yet still embraces its trappings and that the director is signed up for a trilogy that extends past its original vision. Any way, at the ramming scene a kid piped up right before the explosion with, "did the sound stop?" and I loved that.

Fart City posted:With reactions to TLJ being so extreme, I wonder if that puts Rian Johnson's announced trilogy in jeopardy. I suppose it will ultimately depend on how much business The Last Jedi does, but if that box office dropoff rate continues, it's hard to believe that the Mouse will sign off on such a huge financial venture if it's anything but A Sure Thing. I genuinely don't understand the business sense of announcing Rian Johnson is going to write/direct a brand new Star Wars trilogy without seeing how TLJ does at least for a month after release. It's a baffling announcement, doubly so after how middling TLJ turned out.

At the thursday evening premiere a dude was yelling things likes "YUUUP." and "exACTly" the whole time and when Benicio pulled up the holo of the xwing he said "THATS AN X WING" which was funny bc it was like an hour into a movie that had an actual x-wing in the first minute of the film. It was some sort of reverse Magritte poo poo and I couldn't even be mad

I really enjoyed the new star wars movie, I thought the over-arching theme was about how the older generations are near irredeemable poo poo heads, and you have to fight for what you personally believe in. I think you see this when Kylo becomes a better Sith when he decides "I want to destroy things, not rule an empire," which is a nice foil to Rey's own issues with Luke. I gotta say I was a huge fan of Benicio del Toro's character, and him being a pseudo Lando was really fun. It had really good visuals as well, the way the Laser cannon blows open the Rebel base, and it looks like a great gaping wound is a really good set piece. Luke pointing out that Darth Vader was constantly haunted by Obi Wan and that was why he turned was cool as well. I felt it tied that up nicely. The Porgi's and the Crystal Critters were adorable, and it's weird it's getting panned because so many of my friends and family seemed to love it, and it's making gang busters in the box office (Yes I know this isn't a sign of quality but still.)

There's probably a reason there's no kids in the Resistance. Not to mention the last few kids to fight for Good turned into war criminals.

The actual injustice is happening on the casino planet, and it turns out the Resistance didn't even need Finn or Rose. Phantom Menace also featured the Jedi ignoring slavery, except when they could recruit someone into their bullshit. This is what happens in The Last Jedi: Finn and Rose don't really care about slavery, but create a sympathizer for their false cause.

I sort of felt like Rose was a completely pointless character. I didn't really dislike her performance or anything(besides rolling my eyes fairly hard at the super canned and awful Rogue One-style ~hope~ and ~love~ lines), I just felt like every single thing her character did in this movie could have been done more interestingly by Poe. Poe and Finn's teamwork and friendship was one of the nicer character points from TFA and I would have liked them to expand on it and showed the two of them working together again instead of introducing another new character who is completely divorced from everyone else except Finn. Using Poe for Rose's role in the movie would have played very nicely into the intended plot point of Poe being a hot-headed moron who needed to be knocked down a peg; he and Finn fly off on the ridiculous mission to get the hacker and infiltrate the Star Destroyer and then get caught and fail and everything goes to poo poo, proving Poe is a hot-headed moron and knocking him down a peg. Instead, Poe sits on the ship doing nothing for the entire movie besides staging a mutiny that accomplishes absolutely nothing that he suffers absolutely no consequences for and the people he mutinied against are explicitly shown commenting "Yeah he's a swell guy anyway". Seriously, what was the point of this?

I got the opposite vibe, if Poe listened to Leia and admiral purple hair and obeyed orders, they'd all be chilling on a planet instead of losing the entire fleet and almost everyone in the resistance. The audience would also get to skip that meaningless and boring side story to casino planet. If Kylo listened to Snoke we could have had cool bad guys doing bad guy things instead of emo dude being emo, the fight with the red guards was pretty decent though. If the last jedi listened to Luke we could have had some cool training montages and maybe learned something about the force, instead we got a lot of crying, like really a lot of crying and a dead Luke.

Star Wars fan here and I don't have any major problems with this movie. Part of me was disappointed that the new trilogy wasn't more like the world in the Timothy Zahn novels, but what the hell ever. I also don't get how the First Order/Empire can just keep continuously churning out ever more powerful forces and numbers despite constantly suffering devasting losses, while the Rebel Alliance just kind of gives up and devolves into the Resistance that for some reason has fewer ships than they had after the Battle of Endor. Starkiller Base only blew up max 5 planets in 1 system. What about all the Rebel allies like the Mon Calamari, Wookiees, Sullustans, Nabooans? Wouldn't these guys care that neo-Nazis are going to be in charge again? Sometimes I think the Chicken Little "OMG Star Wars ruined forever by TLJ" have some valid points, but then I read poo poo where people think that Luke brushing the dust off his shoulder is some hip-hop pop culture reference and then I realize that they are irrational little self-entitled crybabies.

So if suicide lightspeeding is viable and with the First Order thoughts on human lifes, Why didn't Snoke just empty one of the many Stardestroyers he had and just Suicide one into the crusier and end the movie right there in the beginning. He didn't even need to lose the dreadnought pointlessly, when is was doomed, they could have just warped it right into the crusier. I mean, Kamakazi attacks are a number game.

Why build a new Starkiller base? Just start hyperspace ramming TIE fighters into planets that don't join the First Order. The space battles in Ep.9 should be fun at least with both sides kamikaze-ing each other.
