Yeah, the milk is greenish. I just call it Blue Milk because it's a Star Wars thing.

I've been seeing an lot of complaints saying burning the temple was pointless cause Rey has the books. But, she doesn't? Yoda says she holds everything needed, but not that she has the actual texts.

Too bad we can't see the moment when Luke gets to force heaven and Yoda is all like "gotcha I did!" and Luke is like "OH YOU :iamafag: "

Yoda being an absolute dick after the fall of the Jedi is some of the best character work in the entire franchise. "Oh poo poo, everything I knew has been destroyed. It was wrecked from the inside by a dude I was super suspicious of, and the walking equivalent of a force WMD that we were hesitant to train. The temple that we thought gave us authority and protection is so much ash. gently caress it, I'mma retire to the rear end-end of the universe and do some serious thinking about what got us here. Spoiler alert: it was arrogance."

How did Luke give Leia the pair of fuzzy dice if he was a force projection?

Leia visibly reacts when she realizes it's a projection, I can't remember if she touches the dice first or if they embrace but she has a moment where she gets it

Ya, on first watch it's as if she's reacting to the fuzzy dice. She's actually reacting to the smell because a force projection is really just a very big Jedi fart.

Say... if astral projection is a thing in the new Star Wars what about possession ? Can anyone more familiar with the EU tell me if "Transfer essence" was a good or retarded idea? It's basically If this turns out to be what's really going on inside Kylo, that would be cool... but also awful, in that it's a soap opera plot.

I just saw this and.....I loved it? I really don’t understand the hate. Yea it’s a bit overlong, bloated, and has a few plot holes but so does every Star Wars movie. I don’t understand all the 0 and 1 star reviews people give it.

Mostly I think TLJ attempts to explore interesting themes, but it doesn’t really work in its position as the eighth installment of this series. The theme of moving on from the past and letting the next generation build something new is fatally undermined by the fact that this movie marches us relentlessly back to the ANH/ESB status quo and more or less enshrines the idea that Star Wars can only be about a tiny band of plucky rebels against an evil galactic empire, forever.

This criticism I can understand. I was really disappointed when Luke at the end changed his mind and said "Nah actually we need more Jedi". I was really, really hoping he would keep up the very correct line of thinking that the Jedi of old were pompous, failed in their duty, and are the source of the Sith. The only way to permanently end the sith, is to end the jedi, and it is a shame the movie didn't stay the course.

The roasted porg that Chewbacca was trying to eat looked really delicious. Is this the first time in the movies we see food that isn’t all alien looking or rations?

I feel TLJ's defining moment is the scene in the throne room, where for one instant there seemed to be so many possibilities, where the story could go in so many directions, Rey could have joined the First Order, Ren could have abandoned the Dark Side, both of them could have formed their own alliance, nobody could predict where it was going... And then the resolution moved everyone right back to where they started. Join us in 2038, when Broom Kid will play out this exact story again!

CelticPredator posted:That's Star Wars bruv Is it really? I know the old Legends EU sure wanted to repeat the movies but the actual movies that are what really makes "Star Wars" were only that story told once (the OT) and weren't trying to "recapture the Star Wars magic" because they're the ones that invented it. The prequels despite being kinda crap actually told a different story altogether, albeit not told well.

It’s the same poo poo no matter once. The force is cyclical. It’ll always be about good vs Evil. There will always be Evil fractions that are stood up by plucky well meaning heroes. That’s what Star Wars will always be.

TLj is more Chronicles of riddick than anh/esb. Vader was always a puppet on a string, Kylo is the leader and him calling for everyone to fire on Luke is demonstrably unlike any other "leader" they've had in the movies. Luke was following what obi wan told him to do, to seek out yoda, Rey realizes in the throne room she has to rely on herself, where before she hoped even kylo would remove the mantle of hero from her shoulders so she could go home. So yes, we have a Jedi and a bad guy, but neither represents the past incarnations, instead being overt rejections of them.

The movies aren't cyclical because of "the force". It's because the "good vs evil" conflict is false, and the heroes are fighting only to set up the condition for their own failure. They are evil. The Republic and the Empire are one and the same. If the heroes were fighting for good, Finn and Rose would have abandoned the Resistance so that they could free the child slaves. Instead the slaves get a decoder ring.

The end of IX is Luke, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Anakin and Leia, as force ghosts, starting a slow clap after Rey kills RoboSnoke inside of Death Star III, which is orbiting Coruscant. Kylo Ren was killed off early in the second act. A construction crane fell on him.

Angry Salami posted:There's actually zero difference between blowing up inhabited planets & not doing that. I was talking with someone about how it's impossible to take the destruction of Alderaan as evil. There are things like how it's a nonsensical portrayal of genocide, how blowing up a planet is bullshit that Marvin the Martian tried, the fact that from what we see of Alderaanians they had it coming, and so on. They asked me what I thought, about, no joke, 9/11. They actually equated the insipid destruction of a fictional planet with a real tragedy where people died. I think this explains a lot why people are to resistant to the fact that the usual interpretation of good and evil in Star Wars is false: they totally buy the universe of these movies, to the point that Alderaan blowing up was to them a personal 9/11.
