Even though I'm directly contradicting my own idea written earlier, I do kinda appreciate that the consistent most devastating force power... remains Force Lightning.

And even then, it's shown that anyone with a lightsaber can deflect it.

It was some time since I saw Wars in the Stars movies, but does Leia wear that robe outside of original film? Or is this just for pure nostalgia overload?

She wears it in rogue one

I just have to laugh at them spending billions on the Star Wars parks right when production on the first movies started and then completely basing those parks on the gamble that people will care about this trilogy more than the previous ones.


What a waste of time and possibility.

more and more i believe that rumor that disney's been intentionally not using OT/ST locations because they'd have to pay lucas royalties to use them

Three way tie with Kennedy, JJ and Iger.

Iger for the rushed timeline.
Kennedy for not ensuring there was an overarching plan for the movies.
And JJ making A New Hope 2.0 and mystery box crap.

Actually I changed my mind, JJ is clearly the one who's most responsible for this mess.
I blame Iger for keeping Kennedy in charge and also Kennedy for not having a plan and juggling directors around and having to bring back JJ to clean up this mess

Just back and I liked it. Far better than TLJ. Still not a great movie, but I think a good one. Too much packed into it (some to fix TLJ's mistakes), and you feel the scissors cutting and repasting certain storylines (Force Dryad). Still, good action, some good laughs, good action, lightsabers clashing, starship combat - what I expect from SW. Story could have been better and more coherent and with more space to breath, but as said, I blame TLJ and the missing overall direction too. Force and Force powers are more and more like superpowers, including several three point landings.

Holy poo poo that Rey vs Palps clip is so bad even for a B movie. It would be so much better with super low budget because it wouldn't be so glaring how bland it is

Rey Palpatine fits right into TFA. "Who's the girl?" "What girl?" Leia seeming to know who she is. Luke leaving a map. It goes on. I think the TFA novel even has a more explicit bit of recognition from Kylo to her during the duel they have. She was absolutely supposed to be someone known.

In Trevorrows treatment it turned out she grew up with Ben because she was there illegitimate child of Han Solo and the cleaning lady in Skywalker Organa Solo Mansion

Just saw it and even though I had vaguely hoped the leaks were fake, well...

I'm more irritated by the horrid pacing and whiplash inducing cuts. That movie had no time to breathe and I feel like I've already forgotten 75% of what happened, which is how I felt about Rogue One.

One of my big questions is What About The Rest of the Galaxy

I take it the rebellion is in identical shape to how it was in episode 6, ready to attack the big fleet?

Does the entire sith fleet get blown up, and if so how?

And finally, is the entirety of the first order there? If not, does the movie give any lip service to how they don't remain in charge by just promoting their next most senior officers after the leadership dies?

You know the answer. There must always be an Empire and there must always be Rebels.
