I almost respect the move of brining back Palpatine and saying, “no, y’all are going to make fun of whatever justification I come up with for him being back, so I’m not even going to address the question”

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.

Well just got out. Felt like overproduced fan fiction that went straight back to the lovely tropes like the force being blood magic but has some awesome moments nad time to hit the pub to work through it.

In Story Group Official Canon news, it turns out that Ben didn’t attack anyone or destroy the temple after Luke attacked him. The building blew up for unknown reasons, killing many of the students in the fire, and a few surviving Padawans came across Ben alone in the flames. He told them what Luke had done, but they didn’t believe him and attacked, so he fled

Luke skimped on getting his old gas lines inspected after buying the place and it cost him dearly.

I would watch it. I would also watch a more grounded psychological work like that movie Rush with thor-actor.

Also, Luke is the reason Snoke has a messed up appearance, and Snoke lives in a weird garden.

Anyone else remember a couple of weeks ago when JJ kept hyping up the idea that he was totally going to do something with the Knights of Ren in this movie, and from what I understand they just fight Kylo and all die? Good times.

British dentistry is
not on trial here!



Looking back, yeah, the movie is bad. At least worse than the first two.
Predictable, dumb decisions (by both the creators and the characters) and moments ("I am the spy", lol), and the "saved at the last second when everything is looking dire as gently caress" trope played out for the nth time certainly did not help. I watched TFA and TLJ earlier today as well, so this was especially blatant.

The kiss (should we use tags here?) elicited a barrage of audible groans, so that was a fun experience the audience could share.

Folks who cried "Mary-Sue" during the first two will probably suffer aneurysms.

It has some really gorgeous visuals though.
And a sound effect that was trying to ape the Holdo manoeuvre experience but fell waaaay short. Lazy.

But ... I was entertained while watching it.
I'm a simple man with simple taste, what can I say.

Good thing Luke was totally unrepentant about this, dunking on Kylo at the end of TLJ. It's almost like the entire thing is Luke's fault and Ben was blameless and the stupid padawans provided the final touch of pushing him to the dark side.

The jedi really are the worst.
