As a child, I liked action scenes in prequels.

As an adult, I've never watched prequels.

She says the words "mary sue" itself are sexist:

"The Mary Sue thing in itself is sexist because it's the name of a woman," she says. "Everyone was saying that Luke had the exact same [abilities]. I think Rey is incredibly vulnerable, and nothing she's doing is for the greater good. She's just doing what she thinks is the right thing. And she doesn't want to do some of it, but she feels compelled to do it. So for me, I was just confused."

Some of the dumbest poo poo Ive ever read.

Except my posts.

Maybe she is right.

Yes indeed, any use of a females name is sexist.

Totally makes sense.

I liked it when Jedi were just really wise and had a bit of magic to help them but mostly just got stuff done like a normal person. Obiwan was in the first movie was perfect. Vader was just an imposing guy that could sometimes force-choke people and being able to do that was a crazy power. At the height of Luke's powers he was good with a light saber but still had to be quite careful in fights, there still felt like there were stakes, that a random dude with a blaster could still get the better of him and he still needed to be quite wary about being outnumbered or cornered. Jedi powers were a nice extra to have on top of all your training.

Then they just became unstoppable anime characters that could casually take on an army solo and now they don't even need any training, they're just x-men. Movies just have to keep ramping everything up, I wish they'd realize that in so many cases less is more and when your main character feels like an invincible super hero it makes every fight scene boring as gently caress. I'll take ben and vader's chill light saber duel over people flipping and jumping like a cheesy chinese kung fu movie any day. This is also why The Hobbit was total poo poo.

Luke could lift a spaceship with force.

And even luke didn't think he could do that poo poo. Weird that this was any kind of surprise to him in a universe where entire star destroyers got crashed into planets and poo poo but there ya go.

Luke skipped all history classes to hang out at Tosche Station.

Here's another idea. GHOST HOUSE.
An 18th century suburban house is demolished and a car park is built in its place.
Then strange things start to happen, your usual lights blinking, strange noises, cars smash into invisible walls.
At first everyone suspects the spirit of the house owner, who was known for dabbling in the occult, but the ghost expert the car park owner hires finds in an old auction book that an African idol was in the private collection stored in the house, and it essentially ensouled the building.
The movie ends with the house physically manifesting itself, and everyone admires the woodwork and stuff.

Ghost is literally the walls.

Instead of a witch they should have had a regular old woman. Like maybe the family finds a lodge in the forest, and that old woman lives in its walls. Now that would be interesting to watch. Witches, on the other hand, do not exist in real life, which makes the whole premise of the film very flawed.
