The Dark Side seems to be defined by ambition, greed and selfishness. Since Rey at this point has no real motivation or goals, she's obviously going to be immune to its temptation.

That sounds totally wretched but believable. I'll be happy for adam driver if he gets out while the getting's good at least. Insofar as there was anything good going on in the ST it pretty much came down to him. I give him a lot of flak on these forums for his weird face but he really made the most of the material

And I thought just going “so uh THEY BUILT A SECOND DEATH STAR, and... the good guys blew it up again” was a bad way to close a trilogy. They literally found a way to redo the whole fight for Vader’s soul but stupid.

When Palpatine goes into Kylo Ren, Kylo should say "Kill me it's the only way" but then Rey should give him a big kiss and the love forces Palpatine out like he's allergic to it because he's so evil. Then Rose will say "See, she didn't fight what she hated, she saved what she loved".

Alas but Rey is immune to the dark side because she is volcel, and has never been horney in her life

Didn't Rey respond to the Dark Side's call in the last episode when she jumped head first into that sea hole and saw herself in the hall of mirrors thing? And Luke made a big deal out of how easily she was drawn to it?

They’re not gonna make her flirt with the dark side because parents (and in turn Disney) don’t want their little girls getting bad ideas from their Star Wars hero.

Was going to post this also, like, what?
I mean obviously I understand, I think it's stupid, but I understand Abrams undoing some of the doors that were opened in Last Jedi, but drat LOL. Maybe he's just being petty because they moved Kylo Ren's scar between Force Awakens and Last Jedi.

This sounds like some poo poo I wrote in third grade right after I watched The Exorcist for the first time.

yea the literal only thing about that that doesn't fill me with dread is the thought of seeing Smith hamming it up cackling and sneering like a real sith fuckface instead of all these drat broody angry vader types.

I think there might have been a mostly solid leak but it was still buried in piles of other 'FINN IS ACTUALLY LUKE'S SON AND PHASMA IS A FORCE GHOST IN ARMOR' stuff coming out along with it

Do we have any reason to believe Phasma isn't a ghost in armor, though?

Due to her design/etc. before Force Awakens came out she was hyped up like she was to be the new Boba Fett in terms of badassness/etc.


She is.

I dunno, Boba Fett actually does something. I don't remember what Phasma even does other than... get captured? She also falls and dies I guess.

Boba Fett tailgated a guy driving a broken car and then told the police what town he was going to.

Then he fell in a hole and died.

That random stormtrooper who fought Finn in TFA did more than Phasma. Why that wasn't Phasma is beyond me. Maybe it's all part of JJ's mystery box of cinema.

Would 100% watch a Star Wars remake that takes place in depressed, small town Midwestern America.

...or Afghanistan.

Boba Fett hauls Solo's rear end away leaving his fate uncertain until the next film, it's pretty cool. Also gave us Operation Save Solo in ROTJ which is awesome. Not saying Boba Fett is a great character (because he really isn't a character), but he serves a purpose. You could remove Phasma from the sequels and the films would be no worse because she doesn't do anything.
