I don't think a character being "whiny" is necessarily a bad thing if it makes sense in the story. The problem is that Anakin wasn't given a good reason to be a whiny bitch with anger issues.

he's a former slave who was taken from his mother and inducted into a cult that constantly pushes that having emotions and attachments are bad and wrong

lol, this is maybe a bit aggressive to act towards discussion about Star Wars, and movies in general.

My parents were making noises about how we might go watch Episode 9 when I visit on Christmas. When my dad (who hates crowds) was dubious about it, I suggested Knives Out instead, but I'm seriously reconsidering at this point.

Anakin was taken from his slave life with his slave mother and inducted into a monastic group that didn't like or trust him, being told all the while that he should forget about his mother or the woman he had a crush on, who were some of the only people whom had ever shown him kindness or respect.

I'm trying to be fair and bridge the gap here. The pod racing bit was cool, and all the different pod racers were unique. I didn't even say I fuckin' liked it, I was clear that I largely don't.

Retconning the title of "Star Wars" was the very first sign of the rot that would consume the franchise.

It's easier to call it that for the sake of clarity I guess, but yeah, it's original name in my heart will always be just Star Wars.

Also r2 killed Leia. He's the real mastermjnd

the leaks made it sound like it'd be really quick. they'd be fighting, ren would hear leia, and be distracted and he'd get stabbed. almost like an accident. this is like...

ren hears leia as he's about to cut down rey
ren stops, lowers his saber, deactivates it and turns away
like twenty seconds pass
ren drops his saber, rey catches it and stabs him in the chest

The more tragic things get,
the more I feel like laughing.




So that's not Carrie Fisher right, it's a body double? Either way this is really really bad. The framing of all these scenes is meant to impart some significance or weight but all I'm seeing is some bored actors try to not embarrass themselves.

How does Disney (and Marvel) have so much money and not spend a dime on hiring a decent fight choreographer? The dudes from the Raid had a cameo in TFA ffs, hire them!

Rey gets less powerful the more training she has. She took "you must unlearn what you have learned" too literally.

This is something that took me a long time to appreciate. Say what you will about them, and they sure are messy movies, but at least this was all George’s vision and he wasn’t afraid to swing for the fences. The new movies feel way more focus tested

That's why the sequels should have been directed by the Wachowski sisters. I'd take half-hour long Force orgies in each movie if it'd meant we actually got the right amount of corny earnestness.
