I can buy him surviving the fall, as this movie revealed they're not fatal at all. But I would have liked an explanation on how he survived the Death Star blowing up. At least a flashback of someone dragging him into a ship or something. Everything was just done in the stupidest way. Them all sinking into the quicksand and finding caves and the knife was dumb and too convenient. Also when the Emperor was all "If you kill me I'll become you" I was convinced they were gonna somehow pull out some Carbonite and freeze him going all "haha sike bitch".

There was also a massive release of energy when palps fell down the hole. What was that? A force fart? Nothing matters anymore! The quest for more money!

He mixed the Spacer's Choice Instant-Blue-Bread powder from TFA with his Uncle Palpy's All Natural Force Juice and voila, Rey appeared.

The Death Star thing was a recycled plot that was tossed out back during either TFA or TLJ. It was a mildly goofy concept presented in the absolute most pants-on-head idiotic way possible a thousands-of-years-old dagger contains a treasure map that lines up with a very specific part of debris from the wreckage of the Death Star. Decently cool setpiece for a lightsaber battle, I guess.

Just used a gift card I got from one of my students to buy a ticket to Cats. I'm wishing I saw it instead of ROS. You know how sometimes you're watching something on netflix or some other streaming service and you're not into it, but for some reason you feel obligated to finish it? That was what ROS felt like to me. If it was on netflix, I probably would have FF>> through at least half of it outright. Not trying to be hyperbolic or anything, but it was easily the worst movie I have watched to completion in at least 10 years. The only comparable thing I can think of was when my wife and I had to watch a "Girls" marathon (entire first season) because a friend of hers invited us. . . needless to say it was not an enjoyable experience. I think ROS was even worse, as you know that "Girls" is going to loving suck, but even with my expectations lowered 150%, ROS was just sooooooo loving bad. It was so bad that I was hoping for the end about 20 minutes into the movie. There was literally no part of the movie that I actually enjoyed, and even the Emperor was really, really bad and boring. Nothing made sense, there were no explanations for anything, and the Death Star dagger was quite possibly the stupidest thing I have ever witnessed in cinema. Also did anyone else get the feeling that they just took every first take that Daisy Ridley did, no matter how bad/low-effort it was and used it? She was more engaging when she played a corpse in some police drama. Overall, it was actually a worse film than TLJ, which was absolute poo poo, but has a coherent plot. . . unlike this pile of <trails off>

Things they brought back from the old EU: Palpatine had a son Things they should have brought back from the old EU: IG-88 uploaded his brain into the 2nd Death Star computer and had taken control over it 15 seconds before it blew up

I enjoyed how the inciting incident for the story happened off-screen, then the entire first half of the movie is filled with padding. You couldn't have, ya know, put that in there? Then the very first scene of the movie is Poe barely surviving a mission to intercept a message from a First Order spy which is just confirmation that the thing that happened off-screen did indeed happen. It makes infinitely more sense that the message Poe intercepted would be Palpatine announcing that he's alive to the First Order higher-ups, and that he has a big fat juicy fleet for them to use. That would also sort of resolve the question as to why Palpy boy wanted to broadcast his plan to the whole galaxy anyway.

The deathstar was basically the size of a small planet right? There's no way the shockwave from the explosion would instantly travel through it all. It might look fast in the film but really it's a time lapse, Old Pal Patine had a few hours to climb out of the vent and get onto a space bike and get out.

I watched the ending clip. Does the Emperor spend the movie snarling and hissing about the Dark Side as usual or does he just show up at the end like "Sup, force lightning"? Because just going BAM it's the Emperor sounds both lazy as hell and pretty funny.

Like a bunch of the old novels brought him back as though they couldn't think up any good villains besides Trioculus, Thrawn and the Emp. The movies are now par with the old lovely Star Wars novels you'd see at Borders.
