I just watched a super cut of all of Finn’s lines from RoS and he really does spend the entire movie running on screen to shout “Rey! Come on!” for like the entire movie.

It’s crazy to think how Star Wars revolves around so many characters who actually do so few things

Lolllllll. I can understand being heavily into Kylo Ren because Adam Driver is really hot, but uh, melting down because a fictional character died is something very special.

Shipping(and other parasocial poo poo) is a crazy behaviour that erases the line between reality and fiction. To them there is barely any separation between Kylo and Adam Driver. Which extends to a belief that he and Daisy should be together, that his wife is some evil person who hates him and is only in it for the money and fame and anything that happens to his character has a massive emotional effect on him. They literally believe that Adam Driver suffered immense emotion pain because his character in a movie(a soul less studio one at that) died and JJ and/or Disney deliberately did this to hurt him. This is all reinforced by subbreddits, twitter poo poo and various Z tier sites so their unhealthy obsession just get worse and worse.

He's like Cumberbatch where he's unusual looking with striking features and people are attracted to him based on the roles he plays.

I absolutely see why he's attractive, but hot isn't really what comes to mind.

But, as a straight guy it's not my place to say in any case. I lol every time I think of the scene where he was topless and had his pants up to grandpa levels though.

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 actually said "When the gently caress did that happen?" out loud when I read that.

I always thought it was funny when people would make fun of Bronies and how hosed up it was that they would dress up as pony-men and ship themselves with cartoon horses because I definitely remember a TON of women in the 90’s who desperately believed one day that Tuxedo Mask would swoop in and save them from the blistering mediocrity of their lives

I genuinely do not understand this sentiment. because wanting to gently caress a horse is the same thing as wanting to gently caress a handsome human man?? once something is a cartoon its all the same to you?

Ok so you think someone wanting to gently caress Elmer Fudd isn’t as weird as someone wanting to gently caress Bugs Bunny, interesting, interesting, maybe try saying that out loud at dinner and seeing the reaction...

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.

Right, which is FINE, and good, and ... yeah, great. UNTIL NOW, when actually, no, that isn't true, because it's in the fuckin' movie that he never got the medal until now, and he wanted it, and she wouldn't give him it, and that's just hosed up and weird?

I get it, it's just fanservice, and it's especially niche and that. But it just makes gently caress all sense, and actually makes Leia out to be a oval office? And there's no read of it that I can see that doesn't, which is just really weird. Like they didn't think about it AT ALL, just, 'yeah put the medal in lol' the end? I know that it's being nitpicky, just don't pay attention and move on, it's ONLY meta, but why put it in as a real scene in the actual movie, and not just like, some special thing for the BluRay or whatever? It's SO stupid? Either you understand it, and it's like "Haha, what the gently caress? Wait so Leia's a bitch?" or "What the gently caress is that lovely medal for and why does only HE get one?" It's SO dumb? I kind of love it the most out of all the parts of any Star Wars, it's SO SO surreal.

The should've had a scene where Chewie enters his quarters and you see his medal on the wall without calling attention to it, like the Alien skull on the Predator ship in Predator 2, rather than that weird loving "oh here's your medal from 40 years ago. Our bad.",

This is perhaps the fundamental problem with the postquel trilogy.

Exec: "How do we remind people of the Death Star? I wanna see a Death Star in this."
JJ: "They have a new Death Star."
Exec: "How about RW-D2? We could use a-"
JJ: "He's in."
Exec: "Yeah but like, we can't just have all the old characters walking around with the new cast, so-"
JJ: "We'll give them a different cute droid."
Exec: "What about that scene with Luke in the Falcon shooting-"
JJ: "In."
Exec: "Chewie."
JJ: "In."
Exec: "Grotesque alien puppets on a desert planet."
JJ: "In."
Exec: "...I'm not sure what to do here. Usually you people fight me on this crap. [buzz] Marlene? Are you sure this guy is a director? He's not some yes-man you bring in to make me feel better right?"

Now that the entire Sequel Trilogy is on the books to reflect on as a contiguous story, I've come around to agree with the people who defend the prequels as better by contrast. They are ugly, leaden, and ineptly told-- but taken together they tell a more narratively and thematically coherent story than the ST.
