The Last Jedi (spoilers hidden)

I didn't catch that either.

I'm not a huge fan of Rose, I thought she was merely ok and her and Finn's escapades were silly and really pointless (hey, sneak off of the ship, fly to a casino, grab a guy and we can defeat the empire).

The movie was fine to me but I would have loved to see more training of Rey by Luke. The early sillyness of him ignoring her, blah blah was too long IMO. I get that she's strong with the Force but she's basically mastered it all on her own in a matter of minutes.

The "OJ chase through space" was also absurd.
yup

I finally watched the movie yesterday.
Pretty much agree with most comments. It was okay. If I wasn't a star wars geek, i'd probably like it less.
Some of the scenes were too contrived. Some of the story lines were good, but some were meh. Some of the humor was good, some were just dumb attempts. Like the opening scene with Poe..."Hi, I'm holding for General Hugs"..."I have an urgent message for him...about his mother..."
It was funny at first, but then it dragged on too long. Seemed more like something you'd see in an 'Avengers' movie instead of Star Wars.

Good:



Dumb:

I don't think that's the case. I liked Ep 7, and to be honest, the main drawback for the movie is that it WAS a rehashing of Ep 4. I liked the new characters, the old characters, but the plot was way too close to Ep 4.

I was only 3 when the first one came out, but there was some kind of magic around it, I guess? I didn't like Rogue One the first time I saw it, but it's grown on me in subsequent viewings.

I completely agree with both these comments.

I watched R1 for the first time a few months ago, and I just thought it was meh. I've since watched it probably 20 times, and I like it more each time I watch it.

The creatures known as Porgs are never actually mentioned by name on screen. According to director Rian Johnson, the Porgs were the result of puffins being native to Skellig Island where the Achto scenes were filmed. They were unable to move them as they are a protected species and it would've been too time consuming and expensive to edit them out of the shots, so Rian decided to create a new indigenous species and simply CGI over the puffins.
 




It was understood in the script, though not necessarily in the final film, that General Leia Organa had begun training as a Jedi shortly after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983). Motherhood, and later, discord in the Galactic Senate caused her to cut short her tutoring. This explains how she is able to use the Force to create a bubble of air around her and return to her ship after the bridge of the Raddus is destroyed. An entry in the canonical tie-in Visual Dictionary confirmed this as well.

I'm willing to give her that she trained, but this was a hilarious stretch of the Force, IMO. And selfish. She knew the shot was coming. They cut to her face for the drama scene, and even in that knowledge, she couldn't save any of the others on the bridge?

Now he's just Admiral Aaaccckkkkkkkkkkbar.
 
Finally saw it yesterday. Stupid. Mildly entertaining, but stupid. They made a galactic car chase into a three hour movie.

Rey's "training" was a bad joke. She learns three "lessons" and suddenly she's a Jedi? Ready to confront a Sith Lord?

Jedi masters go down like chumps to the clones, but a novice like Leia can create a force bubble and fly through space?

The whole casino storyline was a stupid and a waste of time.

Snoke was a waste.

Captain Phasma was a waste.

Kylo Ren is still a big vag.

The purple haired iron nuts was a waste.

Luke Skywalker milked a sea cow.

Where does the story go? The "friends in the Outer Rim" gonna defeat the First Order and bring peace to the Galaxy? All of the badass villains are gone, and we're left with the sniveling ginger and the nerd with mommy issues. I feel like they had a storyline for two movies and had to force a third one in the middle.
 




Went and saw it this past week. Man Disney has screwed up Star Wars more than Lucas could have dreamed. It makes me sad that so many have screwed up a franchise with so much potential.

Highly disappointed with it. None of the new characters are all that great and the best thing happening with the original cast is their characters are being killed off or die in real life so their characters can be destroyed any further in new movies.

My big question is why don't all Stormtrooper have armor like Captain Phasma. Imagine the savings if blasters just bounced off ST instead of getting killed even by a glancing blow to the arm!

Also if the rebel fleet was able to barely outrun the imperial fleet why did they stay the same distance all that time. You would think they would have added a little distance over the course of the chase.
