The movie was perfectly adequate popcorn fare and it's amusing watching all the "cinephiles" spin on a giant hamster wheel as they exhaust themselves explaining why the boring derivative movie was more entertaining than the one with at least a well executed John Williams score.

First thought: JJ Abrams read way too much early EU.qbert posted:Is this true? Because if the kiss was incest then it's suddenly hot and I'm totally cool with it. They’re either cousins or step siblings so there you go.

ImpAtom posted:The thing is that Palpatine is Anakin's father so she still is a secret Skywalker. I don't buy that and I don't think Disney does either. It's a throw-away line from a liar. Their official profiles lean more towards the "midichlorians did it" side of things. Still stupid, of course. Zoran posted:You, uh, realize that Rey turns out to be a secret Palpatine instead, right? Of course. I saw the movie. She denies her heritage entirely. She was raised the child of no one and remained that until she claimed something herself. She inherited nothing but force sensitivity, which TLJ shows isn't too uncommon and this movie (with hints of Finn) shows can happen to anyone.

I mean if anything the ironic “it rhymes” take is dead on. Force awakens got people buzzed for the franchise, last Jedi was very divisive at first but the most interesting both visually and thematically and will be remembered as the best one; this k e will only be remembered because it’s the last one, otherwise completely uninspiring. It’s poetry see.

Well, I mean, it wasn't really Han, it was a memory of Kylo's, so really it was all in his head and actually was just him deciding that "Yeah, my dad would probably forgive me." Powerful stuff.

Anyone notice that Harrison Ford didn’t appear to be credited? Waiting through the credits for that let me see that Jennifer Hale got credit as the KOTOR2 protagonist. Thats cool.

Pigbuster posted:No, Sheev! I refuse to give in to the dark side and kill you! Now hang on, I need to kill all these nameless mooks that undoubtedly deserve to die far less than you do. Okay, now that that's done, nevermind I'll kill you now. I was actually interested in the final fight because they set up this dilemma, almost a dark side reversal of the "strike me down and..." line, and was wondering how they'd get out of it. But nope, just some technicality fixes it. Tired: RoS undoes all of TLJ Wired: RoS undoes all of the lessons Luke learns in ROTJ

You knew poo poo was gonna be bad when a development as insane and huge as Palpatine’s return was literally revealed in the first line of the opening crawl and that was the extent of the movie’s explanation on the matter.

This movie wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be imo. The leaks sounded hilarious, but after actually seeing the film, yeah, it was fine. It was moving at breakneck speed before they got to Passana, but after that, it was a decent Star War. Not the best, obviously, but it wasn't bad either. I was entertained.qbert posted:You knew poo poo was gonna be bad when a development as insane and huge as Palpatine’s return was literally revealed in the first line of the opening crawl and that was the extent of the movie’s explanation on the matter. They hand-waived Sheev's return by using a line from the prequels, which I thought was funny.

A better ending: Ren tries in vain to revive Rey. A wispy blue hand alights on his shoulder. (Rey) "You can stop now. Stop fighting. It's over." (Ren) "But you can't be dead...we...we could've accomplished...*done* so much together." (Rey) "We still can. None of us are ever truly gone - you know this. You've *seen* this. We are luminous beings...(looks at her body)...not this crude matter." (Ren turns around to see the entire cadre of passed Jedi) (Rey) "We all live in you now." (Yoda) "Worthy of our legacy, you now are." (Anakin, yes, even him) "Succeed where I failed. Let go of your hate and rage, let the light guide you. Don't let your pain define you as it did me." (Luke) "I saw something in you. It terrified me. I thought you would rend this galaxy in two with your anger, like my father and Palpatine. And you almost did. It's always easier to destroy. But creating something, building it from the ashes, passing it on...that's our gift to you. Start anew. Stop following us. We're behind you - not above you." The "rise" of Skywalker ends up being Rey's ascension to the state of becoming one with the Force - not assuming the mantel of Skywalker and eventually having kids/fostering future generations (presumably with Ren) who will inevitably be both good *and* evil because precedent.

ImpAtom posted:Yeah, I have to admit that soured me on the film super early on. "No Rose, sorry, you go away and... uh, Finn just treats you like poo poo for the rest of the film. Don't worry though he has a NEW girlfriend! Don't worry though she's black so you won't have to worry about any of that icky miscegenation! Also maybe she's going off with Lando because he's the only other black person in the universe besides Mace "I'm dead" Windu who is probably her great grandfather or something." I honestly held my breath out of fear that Lando would say "I knew a woman once in the Golden Sector" and leave them looking at each other thoughtfully.
