can someone edit the essentials of a new hope into a 5 minute prologue for empire strikes back so we can narrow the franchise down to just 1 movie and burn the rest and never hear about star wars ever again?

poo poo all we need is luke having a flashback while hes healing in that tank that establishes why his vision of ben is more than just a hallucination. will add like 10 seconds to the movie

Why does a second lightsaber allow you to reflect lightning but one can’t?

This is why you diversify your dark side magic skill tree and don't get so overconfident you get on some "I don't even need a saber."

If your only move is spamming force lightning you're hosed when someone figures our the two saber technique.

You'd think he'd have learned his lesson after his face got all hosed up from the lightning before.

You have to dump so much XP into talents to get your force rating up, and then it's useless on it's own and you have to buy force skills separately. It's a trap. Go brawn 5 Wookie Enforcer with a force pike IMO.

Right?

The only thing that could possibly be worse would be if the Emperor had been established in one of the films as being incredibly capable with a lightsaber, so that there was absolutely no reason for him to rely on a technique that was clearly failing to work.

He was already killed before anyway, so how can that moment have any gravitas at all? They can just keep bringing him back with no explanation.

I'm reminded of the bit in Monster Squad (charming movie I'd recommend putting in your Wholesome Haloween mix if you haven't seen it):

Det. Del Crenshaw: [about the killer in the 12th Groundhog Day movie] I thought they killed him in the last one.

Sean: They did, he returns from the grave.

Det. Del Crenshaw: He always returns from the grave. If they blew him up, put his head in a blender and mailed the rest of him to Norway, he would still return from the grave!

Sean: That was part 7.

Why didn't they just resurrect Luke too if you can bring people back with no explanation. And Anakin. And Admiral Ackbar. And that girl's family from An Ewok Adventure

Can't wait for Phasma to casually stroll into the throne room apropos of nothing, having not appeared at all in the movie before that point, just in time to be caught in the Dragon ForceBall explosion and die a third time (no one's ever really gone).

Just got out.

Way to cram so much into the third movie when you waste the second one. THe pacing is all off and they introduce too many new characters who just have zero time to be fleshed out.

A few bits were good, overall pretty eh. Could have used a re-write. Jedi Fallen Order had a more interesting story and that was pretty basic. This probably ranks lower in the order of the mainline movies.

JJ should lay off the helicopter and tracking scenery shots, they stand out like sore thumbs in star wars movies.

One can and did. Samuel L. Jackson reflected the lightning back at Palpatine in Episode 3. How the gently caress does Palpatine fall for this trick a second time when the first time left him horribly disfigured?

WE MUST RETURN TO THE DANCE! THE NIGHT IS OURS!

Seeing this tonight. Not expecting it to be a good movie, just hoping it's an enjoyable ride and if it's bad then it's on the level of the prequels where we can continue to look back and laugh at it rather than the bad and boring movie that was TLJ. Though most likely it'll just be bland like TFA and not worth talking about at all.

If a lightsaber blocks lightning 100%, and two sabers reflects the lightning back to the caster, then really Palpatine's signature move is an attack that is hard countered by Jedi. What a loving scrub. Only an idiot tunes their build against the chaff instead of the bosses.
