I'm glad it was established that Force ghosts can physically gently caress, but I don't know if a half-hour long graphic sexual orgy was strictly necessary from a narrative standpoint. Thematically I enjoyed that the good ghosts are blue and the bad ones are red and an interesting twist that the good ghosts shot red cum, but the bad ones shot blue. It is like yin and yang.

I think Disney or someone with funds ought to buy up Rocket Robin Hood IP (can't be worth more than a few nickels) and make a nice big budget movie out of it.

Yeah but did they really have to show us Yodas uncles running train on some horny Sith ghost bristling with spikes for 15 minutes? I would be willing to settle for one line of dialogue, " Woah, did you see Yodas uncles running train on some horny Sith ghost next door? Let's not go there!"

You're just saying it doesn't look good. That's just lovely film-making (another point against movies). The six-million dollar man figured out how to make that poo poo cool, on a tv budget, in the 60's (edit) 70's. You just slow down the camera and make a cool loving sound. Or that X-men movie scene where the fucker runs really fast. Also there are tons of loving animated scenes of superman racing the flash that are fine. Movies, as a medium to tell stories, don't have the chops to be entertaining to you Amateur movie-watchers any more.


The precedent is not in Star Wars films. The precedent is in your Amateur movie-watcher culture. Like remember when the Die Hard(Bruce Williace) launched a loving car to blow up a helicopter he leveled up his movie explosions skills. It was awesome, except to you amateur Movie-watchers. You are like people who drink liters of coke a day. You have so much sugar in your system that if you wanna feel something at 3 am in the morning you have chug a monster energy drink. That's why instead of one planet being blown up in the Seventh movie three had to be blown up. Then in the Tenth movie they are gonna blow up a whole loving universe.


If movies keep being made, it's eventually going to be the Fast and Furious with mutant powers fighting space Thanos with like 100 floating light sabers. Star Wars fans will be like "YEAAAH!" then buy all the toys. Basic people who don't watch as much movies will be like "YEAAAH!" While Pro movie-watchers will be like "well it is absurd, but it takes the iconic items of earlier Star Wars movies to their natural end point. In such a manner you just have to laugh and go "YEEEEEAH!"


While you amateur movie-watches will sit and sulk and be all, "That sucks because it's not realistic enough for my snobbish taste."

nice style but you cannot defeat me with these amateur moves as I have the high ground

Edit: Seriously eat poo poo

Saw it, it was acceptable, probably not the worst movie in the entire series. It DESPERATELY needed an editor to cut like half an hour out of it, but throughout the whole new trilogy I really dug the Rey/Kylo dynamic. The confrontation in his quarters/down in the snowy slums was really interestingly shot, with the fragments of either place raining down from the blows.

Did you dig the kiss too?

You're just saying owning slaves doesn't feel good. That's just lovely slave-owning.

Like remember on TV when the slave-owner was whipping Kunta Kinte and telling him his name was Toby. It was awesome, except to you amateur slave-owners. You are like people who drink pitchers of lemonade a day. You have so much sugar in your system that if you wanna feel something past midnight you have to brew tea. That's why instead of one slave being beaten up in the Seventh movie three had to be beaten. Then in the Tenth movie they are gonna beat the entire population of Africa.

If movies keep being made, it's eventually going to be space Amistad with mutant powers fighting space KKK with like 100 nooses. Slavery fans will be like "YEAAAH!" then buy all the slave chains. Basic people who don't own slaves will be like "YEAAAH!" While Pro slave-owners will be like "well it is absurd, but it takes the iconic items of earlier slave beatings to their natural end point. In such a manner you just have to laugh and go "YEEEEEAH!"

While you amateur slave-owners will sit and sulk and be all, "slavery is still morally wrong regardless of how many idiots practice it, gently caress all of you."

It's like back when Transformers was coming out. Everyone was all, well if you hate this then you'll just have to stop going to the theaters, because this what movies are like now.

I read a whole shitload of this thread, but couldn't be hosed with all of it, has anyone mentioned Chewie getting his loving lovely medal at last?!

So, Leia had it all this time? So either, she didn't want Chewie to have it, but everyone knew he really wanted it, or she made clear that he was only to get it when she was dead, which implies she didn't think he deserved it for ANY of the poo poo he did while she was alive. Either way, kinda paints her as a HUGE rear end in a top hat? I get that it's just fanservice bullshit,,but, it 'does' happen in the movie, it has to be internally consistent, surely?

I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter
in my grandmother's journal.

She wrote very detailed descriptions of her experiences...
So while we were all having our bitching contest, it turns out this movie's actually doing pretty well all things considered. Then you have The Mandolorian being a pop culture phenomenon. The brand is strong with this one, guys.

We got a trilogy of "JJ Abrams & Friends Pay Tribute to Star Wars" which most people found some part of it to like, and if you didn't like any of it, well good news, it's over! The slate's clear to fling all kinds of crazy new Star Wars poo poo on the wall and see what sticks. Some (most) of it won't be great, and that's fine because these things will no longer have to try be all things to all Star Wars fans and even if you're like me and you're not particularly interested in any of these wacky new endeavors, you can easiy ignore these just like I ignored the entire EU all those years.

I admitted earlier it's fun to complain about this movie and Star Wars in general, but sometimes it's good to remind ourselves that things are not actually all that bad?

Well, I guess there's the possibility they decide to plunge right ahead with "Star Wars Episode X: There's Always a Bigger Fish" and try to 'overcorrect' whatever they think might have been missing in the past few mainline entries, but of course they would never do that, right? Right?!

Chewie didn't have a medal at the end of ANH because Carrie Fisher was tiny and what's-his-name is very tall. That's all there is to it.

I don't think that "Emporer's Radio Broadcast" was mentioned outside of the title crawl and when they announce that he's alive people react like they're hearing about it for the first time. I have a suspicion it was first and foremost a marketing tie-in with Fortnite that got shoehorned into the movie's opening text.

I did enjoy how the Emporer just gets uglier when he's at full health. At first I thought Ian McDiarmid was just sick of putting on the makeup and refused to do it (and Abrams was like "I'm sure if we just keep it dark no one will notice lol") so it was a pleasant surprise.

Also, if we go by the way "cheating death" is described in Episode III - "keep people from dying" - I love how the implication is that even though he was kept in one piece, ol' Palps had to live through being thrown into the Death Star's core.

The Emporer residing in the energy core of the Death Star: "AAAAUUGGHGHH! THE PAIN! MAKE IT STOP! THE PAAAAIIIIINN!!!"

*Millennium Falcon comes in and blasts the core*

"Ohhhh FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU------"



"AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUAAAAUUUGGGHHH!!!!
