I think it says a lot.

It reflects on the ultimate emptiness of the Dark Side. The Dark Side has nothing to offer you. There is no insight or greater power beyond the material world. It's only your own fear and anger in a literal echo chamber.

But it is also showing us what Rey's actual fear and weakness is: Being alone. It's what makes her vulnerable to Kylo in the film. She is someone who had no parents, found friends only to have to leave most of them, and left them to find the man who she thought could lead her to her place in the universe had become bitter and uninterested. She is tantalized at the end of the seemingly infinite Reys by the image of what might be her parents only to find just herself.

This ends up mirroring what Kylo thinks is the sort of killing blow to her sense of self: That her parents were nothing, just a bunch of jerks, but she doesn't have to be alone with him. The ending for the film is her find empowerment in all of this. She doesn't need Luke or her parents or Kylo. She'll define herself and she'll define what it means to be a Jedi.

Based on the plot leaks it seems that the movie is not gonna be 3 hours. It's gonna be endless.

Though notably Sheev does say “use the force to influence the midichlorians” and not “use the midichlorians to influence the force”. Big difference!

If Qui-Gon was meant to be an example of an ideal jedi, how come in the first scene he's in Obi-Wan correctly senses there's something wrong with this whole trade dispute deal (seeming to feel Sidious behind it all already) and Qui-Gon tells him to shut up as they are facing cowards who will fold easily?

Sure got that one wrong.

You could argue that nothing is more Star Wars than missing the point:

Vader: The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

*is proven correct*

His team spends the next X films obsessing over the ability to destroy a planet.

So did Rose die from her injuries off screen in this leak?

euphronius posted:

They knew what she was doing and would have stopped it if they had their shields up

So it was something that was possible in their minds and maybe has happened before to unshielded ships.

also if she was going to do that anyway she should have done it before the First Order wiped out most of the transports

Wasn't part of the reason they needed the hacker was so they could get through the shields of the big bad ship?

If you nitpick any Star Wars film you're going to be able to bitch about literally everything.

I've pointed out repeatedly in this very thread that you could do it to the OT films big time but nobody will because they came first and thus are in some kind of protected echelon or some crap.
