Why don't you perform zazen, facing a wall?

Oh ok. So it’s actually that Kylo wasn’t evil at all and the horrible future Luke saw was 100% caused by Luke’s attempt to kill Kylo.

Bleak.

Some of you actually had hope this movie would be good? LOL, I say. LOL. That is funny to me because that is stupid. Under what circumstances was this movie ever going to turn out to be good. You had feelings and then you let your feelings get hurt because of something that you know was going to happen. Go and get married while you're at it.

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

Just got back from seeing this, it's late so brief spoiler free thoughts. Firstly i hated TLJ and felt TFA was an enjoyable film on first viewing that obviously played things as safe as possible and upon reflection is kinda bland yet fun, so that's where I stand on the sequels. As for this movie it was basically fan service the movie, but its an enjoyable ride and I think if you're a big enough star wars fan thats just going into it for the spectacle and not expecting it to tell an amazing story or go in a new direction you'll have a good time. I think it's going to be for me the same as TFA where I don't care enough about these characters or the story to want to rewatch the film again but if it pops up on tv I'll sit down.

There's a lot of dumb poo poo that happens also so be prepared to roll your eyes many times, there's a few decent laughs, threepio kinds steals the show there I think which is kinda how it should be, no your momma jokes this time thankfully. Basically JJ is a fan of star wars and made a movie exactly like how a fan would, for better or worse.

Ultimately tldr: I think if you enjoyed TFA in the cinema on first viewing you'll come out of it and call it an enjoyable 2 hours+ but it will leave you relieved this whole sequel trilogy is now dead.

Molestation doesn’t seem like that crazy of a read, if anything it makes the whole thing make a lot more sense. Ben is ambiguously aged at the best of times though, maybe he was of age and luke just wanted some of that weird weird face

Yeah, I have no clue why anyone is putting down their cash for a lazy pile of trash that has been mostly panned by critics just because it's a Star Wars movie, let alone wasting over 2 hours of their worthless lives on a very bad movie day 1. :sad:

At least TFA and TLJ had very positive buzz from critics after pre-release screenings, while RoS is getting demolished left and right as overly safe mediocrity that pleases no one or worse.

I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
It's a fun and entertaining movie where a whole bunch of ridiculous stuff happens and we actually spend some time with the main characters going on adventures together which I think was a gaping hole in TLJ

I can't possibly imagine the shark-eyed suits agreeing to this unless he just flew the puppet entirely under the radar.

You show them the dailies with that adorable puppet and their brains will immediately start producing phantom cash register noises at 120 decibels.

i dunno man Favreau originally wasnt sure about the puppet and did reshoots with possible CGI replacement backplates until Herzog called him a coward

also they had no toys ready except a Funko thing

They're brother and sister so I hope it's the latter. The OT teased Luke x Leia only to snatch it away at the last second in blatant disregard for the fans. If episode IX is really the fanservice movie people say it is then Rey and Kylo should end up together.

Incest isnt taboo in the Star Wars universe

The jedi council regularly set up arranged marriages between related force sensitive people in order to preserve the midichlorian bloodline and keep it as pure as possible. Yoda would definitely have recommended Luke shoot his force fortified ejaculate into Leias force sensitive vagina,

This is really the thing. How in the hell could people expect Disney to poo poo out good movies at all, let alone with a production time of like a year per film???

Even after TFA the reaction wasn't so much "wow this is the best movie ever just like when I was kid" and more that it promised that actual good movies would follow. In the words of Lord Sand Tekken: "This will begin to set things right."


Narrator: It would not.

They ran out of new ideas before the title crawl was even over on TFA and yet people kept expecting the next film to be the one that was good for four more films because people are not smart.

The only question that remains is, with all the poo poo JJ crammed into this one, did he really hope Bob Igor would let him make Episode 9 Part I and Part II? That would have owned so much the only way it could own harder would be if they would be forced to cancel Part 2 after Part 1 tanked like that one YA movie series whichever it was.

There was an early rumor from a source who had been accurate about the early development of TLJ that Episode 9 was going to set up Episodes 10-12.
