There is at least some precedent with Leia having noticeable Force affinity, her son being powerful in it and the old EU has her learn some Jedi stuff on the side at least, but nothing really in-universe. (the old EU also firmly established Han Solo has no Force powers at all)

The force is some mystic bullshit that always could influence the world in mysterious ways. It may not have been a good use of the force storytelling wise, but it made sense.

DONT THREAD ON ME posted:she was skywalking you idiots no she was spacewalking  it seriously was dumb as hell because it would have been much more powerful for Leia to die right then, that's my biggest problem with it. If you're not gonna kill her, just have her get to an escape pod. e: vvv Star Wars is now a woke brand, this is on topic discussion

For real, there’s at least 4 Star Wars threads on this dead gay forum already and this is page 4 of Prequel Chat.

jakodee posted:(Rian Johnson is an untalented hack anyway, have you seen Book of Henry?) Book of Henry was by the person who was supposed to direct Episode 9. And also you're wrong, the force is very subtle and nuanced for a reason. It's a huge loving deal when the Emperor shoots goddamn lightning in ROTJ because we had no clue the Force was truly that powerful until then, outside of maybe Yoda lifting the X-Wing out of the swamp.

WampaLord posted:That was certainly the goal, but the execution was so bad. If you "do your own thing" but that thing is garbage, I do not have to respect your attempt at doing your own thing. TFA is nothing but a remake of ANH but it's a million times better than any prequel movie because the execution was much better. the one thing that they set up that was kinda subtle could have been cool was that you can totally read the scene with Han and Kylo as Han deliberately pulling himself on the blade, committing suicide as a way to break Kylo out of his dilemma which then got totally ignored

the fact that both kylo and rey were conflicted force novices and little stake in light or dark had the potential to be interesting. kylo had that glimmer of light and rey had that intense anger. but that's honestly it.

Also luke explicitly told her in the original trilogy she could use the force she just never learned or maybe she did idk Also Rian Johnson didn't write book of henry but did write brick and looper, which are cool, and also wrote brothers bloom which is poo poo, like the last jedi.

I thought the luke stuff where he wants to destroy use of the force because he sees the jedi order as inherently corrosive as the sith is really neat, but he had no impact whatsoever on the main character's thinking, and just dropped dead because he Did A Thing Too Hard without any foreshadowing that that would happen, and also the storyline on the ship where people Did Things for two hours with no effect was super bad.

And I'd rather have no bad movies, unless they shoot the moon and become so bad it's good, but the prequels were not that, they were just bad and boring.

I just remember that brothers bloom also has an entirely pointless death of one of its main characters at the very end. Rian Johnson likes it when people die for symbolic reasons but doesn't put a lot of effort in figuring out how to get from A to B.
