The only criticisms i have for this big fun swashbuckling laser opera movie were: 1. Rey was better as a nobody. Not everyone has to be a secret descendant of space magic royalty.

This was the thing about thr movie I disliked most. The one before it went out of its way to set up a more populist take on the Jedi mythos, and their backpedaling on it in this one felt like the studio caving to chud/turbonerd backlash on the subject.

The fan theory about Rey being a Kenobi was somehow even stupider than her having dark side tendencies and Emperor lightning in her blood and this is where my brain says "NOPE! That's too much thought about this let's think about those cat videos you watched earlier!"

Just continuing how TLJ spent half the film backpedaling its own first half, the sequel trilogy makes a complete zigzag.

You could take the scene of Luke fading into the Force from TLJ and use it to glue TFA and ROS together and you wouldn’t even notice that TLJ was missing. Luke dying is the only thing that wasn’t retconned from that movie.

Looking back at the whole trilogy, I like that Rey never fully embraces The Hero's JourneyTM and hers is more one of self-discovery (Luke's was, too, but that wasn't his initial motivation). I don't think a woman has any need for the Hero's Journey; I've always felt it addressed specifically male insecurities.

What do you mean by this? What’s specifically masculine about characters growing and changing through learning and sacrifice?

I choose to believe that Kylo Ren sucks at lightsabers so bad because he's whatever the space equivalent of a weeaboo is for Sith Culture, and "studying the blade" in mangas about his grandad is what lead to him being nearly owned by a stormtrooper.

Just picture Kylo unboxing that busted rear end excalibur lightsaber of his while the ginger space nazi yells "IT'S TAPE!"

Who made C-3P0 fluent in over six million forms of communication or gave him his first job programming binary load lifters 'cos I don't think it was Anakin Skywalker.

Outside the movie environment the RLM guys are probably right, it's likely just Anthony Daniels demanding a heroic sacrifice moment for his character given he isn't likely to get to play C-3P0 again

It was a heroic sacrifice. I loved the humor of him continually reintroducing himself. That was good writing.

The Kylo Finn fight is much better as a fight than the other ones in this trilogy. He knows he’s much better than Finn and easily beats him, but injures himself doing it because he is arrogant.

Kylo shouldn’t really be super good at fighting with laser swords anyway. He learned from Luke who was not exactly a sword fighting expert himself.

Saw it, it wasn't terrible or great on its own. But felt like the trilogy as a whole turned out to be a directionless mess. Maybe Carrie Fisher dying had something to do with that, maybe Disney was focus grouping the plot out of JJs control. Maybe JJ is a hack, I dunno. Also everyone was assholes to C3PO.

All I know is that the absolute peak of the new trilogy is the first 15 minutes where Finn is s faceless trooper, watches his friend get shot and die in pain and smear blood on his helmet, watches a warcrime, then has a PTSD breakdown back on the star destroyer. Everything went downhill from there.

Didn't they say that Carrie (RIP :smith:) dying upended the ideas they had for ROS and they had to scramble to rewrite it? Or was the the case with TLJ?

Her brother came out and said the original idea was for Leia to be the last Jedi and Leia would have been full on lightsaber fighting in this movie, but AFAIK nobody at Disney or any cast members confirmed that. Sounds stupid enough to be true though.

Also with CGI Luke, Leia, and Tarkin I am convinced there is going to be a big blockbuster movie in the next decade that will have the CGI model of a dead, beloved actor in the starring role. My money is on Robin Williams. Disney already hosed him while he was alive over Aladdin. Now they can get a relative to sign a paper and they can gently caress him while he's dead, too.

Honestly, it's not even specifically this retcon that bothers me. The tragic thing about Rey's parentage wasn't that they weren't anyone special, it's that they abandoned her, they were deadbeats who sold her into slavery for drinking money. Nobody had ever cared for her, she could kill herself and it would not matter to anyone in all time and space. She was truly nothing.

Well, except now it turns out they were decent people after all who died trying to hide her from her evil grandfather.

The truly weird thing is that Abrams seems to think he got away with something, like having his cake and eating it, too. I mentioned before he even sees fit to give "your parents are nobody" something of a 'second reveal' as if to emphasize how important that revelation is, only to seemingly write over it in mere minutes afterward.

The only thing I can think of is… does JJ Abrams actually think having parents who were not special or significant is something awful* and worth getting upset over?

* No pun intended
