My favorite part of the movie was Lando taking a moment to hit on the hot ex-stormtrooper lady a third of his age in the middle of the celebration scene.

That's our Lando. *laugh track*

I have to say, I'm very impressed by The Rise of Skywalker.

I never thought that everyone involved could be such an uninspired bag of poo poo that they could write a plot that makes the Star Wars EU novels look like loving masterpieces.

gently caress these movies.

I think you'll find that's actually his missing daughter and you misread the scene pretty badly

The ONLY way this makes sense is that while Rey's dad was alive there were also a lot of jedi being trained at Luke's academy, so the force wasnt concentrated into one person. At the beginning of TFA most of the jedi have been killed by Kylo and his crew and Luke has abandoned the force so it latches onto Rey to counter Palpatine's or Kylo's growing power. Dumb but probably the only thing that makes some sense.

Her dad might have been force sensitive, or scared to use his powers so his dad didnt find him, who knows? I'm positive we'll get some sort of comic about what happened with him at some point.

Pretty sure you thought about this significantly more than any dudes at Disney did, including Abrams and Chris Terrio, especially considering Rey as Palpatine's granddaughter is an intensely stupid asspull that 100% didn't exist when TFA/TLJ was being filmed, let alone during probably like all of 2017 and much of 2018.

It’s bonkers how badly they tossed Rosein the trash, I never considered Lando to be like a major part of the franchise and he’s lame, and the coolest lightsaber was in a dream sequence.

Still really don’t understand how anyone could consider this movie worse than Attack of the Clones or Revenge of the Sith

I don't think even with Disney making one of these pictures a year until long after we're all skeletons there will ever be a Star Wars as bad as Attack of the Clones. It's plodding, it leans on an absolutely asinine "mystery" and a romance with stilted, negative chemistry. It gives an ancilliary character an elaborate origin in an act of fanservice that just absolutely sucks (and goes nowhere with no payoff in the next act, just dropped like a hot rock!), and it is just plodding and visually busy without being interesting. And more than anything it's just aggressively ugly. Lucas was beta testing elements of digital filmmaking that aged like milk. They were actually PROUD of the fact they never built a practical clone trooper costume.

Do you think Rey's dad was conceived when he was still a kindly looking old man politician, or after he turned into a stooped, melty faced Sith Goblin?

They were gonna help take out the usual end battle load bearing mcmuffin after being landed near it on the ground but then it was on a star destroyer so they landed on it and raced across the deck for reasons

attack of the clones and revenge of the sith rule and are great movies. they are telling an actual logical story about the evolution of a galactic civilization. thats interesting! they are also visually stunning and well designed. every scene on Coruscant is amazing, it really pisses me off that we never see Coruscant once in the new trilogy. they also have extremely good soundtracks.

Rise of Skywalker crossed a threshold from sci-fi into fantasy. it doesnt even count as star wars any more it has become space Lord of the Rings
