"Appended to its own quotation is false" appended to its own quotation is false.

Snoke definitely didn't use that. However, it wasn't Snoke that was killed in TLJ: It was Snuke, Snoke's slightly larger twin brother. .

Snoke and Snape should be friends. Both of their names are one letter from being "Snake".

Only because people specifically demanded to know how he could suddenly do a thing we had not specifically seen the Jedi do before.

Because before that they had always been 100% consistent.

That's like saying that only dumb people think original Star Wars is bad. The truth is that these movies have always been objectively mediocre.

There's a Simpsons gag where the comic book guy settles in to watch (I think) TFA, and says with great contentment that it's going to be terrible.

That's basically every new Star Wars. Since ESB, really.

That and the kamikaze criticisms were interesting because they were pretty much explicitly 'I don't like that the film did new things'.

Luke's astral double seemed pretty similar to the force ghost after death thing we've seen a bunch of times so it wasn't hard for me to accept.

New force powers get introduced in almost every movie

IV - The Force itself, mind trick, choke
V - Telekinesis, Luke's Jump, visions
VI - Lightning
I - Speed
II - Lightning negation
III - ??
VII - freeze, forcible mind read
VIII - projection/doppelgänger

Obi-wan asks the medical droid what's happening and the droid can't explain it, because droids have no recognition of the force. It all falls into place, really.

The whole psychic link storyline also provides setup for the astral projection twist, Rey even takes a shot at Kylo's illusion to show that he doesn't get hurt.

It's bad because it preaches about getting over the past and moving on to something new but actually just resets everything to a familiar status quo.

It may be an advanced application thereof; but the visual effect surrounding it seemed really unique; like the things being frozen were stuck in an instant of time or something, most noticeably Poe's blaster shot that wobbles back and forth in midair.

The familiar status quo of The leader of the bad guys being an emotionally volatile idiot, rather than an arrogant, calculating mastermind, and the good guys being reduced to the people inhabiting a single ship, with no additional organization or infrastructure? That status quo?
