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?

1. The rebellion is supposedly small and there's some big hoo ha about rallying the rest of the galaxy, and so all these civilian ships show up at the end.
2. Yeah, the Emperor's ships do from uhhh the Emperor dying, and I think the First Order's ships above Coruscant and poo poo start dropping too for some reason. Or those were the Emperor's. Who even knows.
3. Literally no idea.

"You're the best looking guy here."
So is there an actual space battle? Or do ships just hang out until they blow up?

Also, the Knights of Ren is the most superfluous group in this franchise and kind of walked around for two minutes total before being beaten up. What are the Knights of Ren? Why do they have medieval axes? Why do they look cool? It is a mystery not even JJ can answer.

There is a space battle at the end and I sure wish there wasn't, so I wouldn't have had to deal with the turbo cuts to Poe having some reaction to an event while we were in the middle of the attempted tension of Rey going into the spooky Sith iTomb.

God, how is this possible? It all looks like poo poo. Rey's secret weapon is...two lightsabers? And pushing back a big force lightning ball at Palpatine? Isn't that the same loving ending as Harry Potter? This is the second time in a year a series has hosed up what should've been a successful finale to the extent that I have no desire to even go back and watch the stuff I previously enjoyed.

Iger must be on the verge of a loving rage stroke reading these reviews.


Pollyanna posted:

(The way this film handles the unfairly maligned Last Jedi character played by Kelly Marie Tran—which is to say, by completely sidelining her for this last outing—feels like a bad concession to bad people.)

This is really some bullshit. That Rose's character wasn't well received isn't her fault and Disney really didn't do poo poo to back her up. I hope she got a decent check out of this one at least.

Disney are loving cowards for erasing any single hint of a white woman finding a black man attractive. I'm all for platonic friendships between men and women, but how the relationship between Rey and Finn really rubbed me the wrong way.

He gets yeeted, breaks his back, then somehow gets back out of the pit, resurrects Rey with Force Kiss, the smoke at each other and embrace, then he loses consciousness and flops onto his back and disappears into the Force, never to be seen again, in the space of like 5~10 seconds.

Glorious.

Also, it is more palatable to Disney for Rey to kiss her first cousin who has killed billions of people than to kiss a black man

They lay Finn's feelings for her on pretty thick this film and she tells him a few times that he will never be able to truly understand her. Which uh, gave me a bad vibe. Not gonna lie, I couldn't even be excited for the introduction of the black ex-Stormtrooper lady because I was convinced they would pull some poo poo about how Finn would suddenly fall for her instead.

I get what you're saying but Finns problem is waaay deeper than that.

The problem with Finn was that he was in the orbit of Rey as opposed to his own character. His story should have been one of learning to connect with normal people and escaping the brainwashing of his stormtrooper upbringing. I'm not sure having him revolve around another weirdo like Rey is the way to get that done. Imagine a somewhat militaristic get stuff done character that wants to but can't really understand a life of peace. Someone who doesn't wanna fight for the first order but also doesn't want to kill all of the people he grew up with, people just like him. Instead we got a starwars version of the nerdy black sidekick who's only purpose in life revolves around a white woman he barely knows. He is honestly the only original character in these movies, yet somehow ended up being the most underutilized.


Also, Reylo shippers will hate this movie too. Take a guess as to why.

They messed up all the relationships between the main characters. Imagine what we could've had if Disney werent a bunch of cowards:.
