Time for a Last Jedi thread
For the record, I’m one of the few people who likes Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker about equally. They both have good and bad parts, but I don’t get why people would think one is great and one is awful
Giving Oscar Isaac as much room to wisecrack as he wanted was a great call
LJ has a reputation for breaking the mold of following the original trilogy, which is a little undeserved since it literally starts with the rebels evacuating a hidden base after being discovered by the empire
I’m just going to call the First Order the empire, these movies did not make the distinction stark enough for me to care
I’m really supposed to respect Snoke when Hux fucks up this badly and snoke lets him live? Vader would have killed him, found a way to resurrect him, then killed him again
There’s obviously a lot that can be said about the stupidity of not having a story arc written for all three in the first place, but the worst transgression is making Snoke so pointless. I have zero investment in this character and obviously have no reason to
We can play this game all day, but I would love to see a version of this trilogy with no Snoke character at all, just Kylo vs Hux in a power struggle
The casting director for these movies deserves like 20% of the credit
I would spend soooo much time and money in this space casino
They tased the black man for parking illegally in the most true-to-life scene in the whole damn series
I don’t understand what Holdo’s strategy was with not divulging her plan earlier. Was there any reason to suspect a spy?
Again, a mysterious part of the training island where you go to learn about yourself and slightly paranormal things happen is not an original fucking Star Wars concept
Benicio Del Toro’s speech about good guys and bad guys would ring more true if they didn’t live in a universe where one of the two sides didn’t routinely commit genocide. There’s not a lot of shades of gray here
I know this is by no means an original observation, but god there are soooo many loopholes in empire technology
It’s so lazy to have all the conflicts started because someone withholds information for no reason. Why couldn’t BDT just say he needed the necklace for a practical reasons? Cause then Finn wouldn’t have the chance to confront him and be a white knight
I had honestly forgotten until now that captain phasma was a character in this movie
Leia sermonizing to Poe doesn’t work either. Poe was trying to save everyone’s life, too. It feels like he would have gone along with the plan if someone had bothered to fucking explain it to him
Oh hey look, the main antagonist is sitting in a throne room showing the main protagonist the trap he’s set for the good guys. How original
“He ignites it and kills his true enemy.” Why...why would you phrase it like that?
This thread is heavily negative but I will say the throne room fight is the best scene of the new trilogy
