One of the better SW movies.
The light speed ram and Luke's force projection were very cool, disagree with you there.
I believe JJ Abrams set the sequel trilogy to dissapoint, by creating a generic new emperor as the villian, doing a boring lineage mystery again, and making the original protogonists fates, look so sad.
I feel RJ did make a pretty entertaining film, with such a bad set up for the sequel trilogy.
I thought The Last Jedi would be the only SW movie I'd never want to watch again. I fucking hated it.
Then I watched Rise of Skywalker.
Both crap movies for entirely different reasons :/

Nowhere am I saying I think it is a "gotcha argument". Please don't make up shit I didn't say. Thank you.Lucas also basically ruined the franchise a decade earlier, so this isn't really the gotcha argument you think it is.
The best Star Wars movie still making people mad 3 years later.
The power of Rian Johnson. What a legend.
I am still angry how it sidelined Finn... I still think Finn should of been the focus of the trilogy but whatever...
I thought it was a really creative use of that technology.
No I don't agree. He has a pretty big role, and the character growth that makes him a resistance fighter. Most of TFA was him not wanting to be in the resistance either.I don't think its as bad as some say, i don't think its as good as some say, i think people on those extremes are trolling
but please please lets all agree on one thing
They did John Boyega dirty in this and Rise of Skywalker
Oh and yeah close the thread
Yep, it's like when Obi-Wan said fuck it and let Darth Vader kill him, but well directed and with earned pathos. It also ties back into that because of his realization that he is like Obi-Wan when Yoda says "Luke, we are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters.".I don't love it but Luke's framing is pitch perfect Star Wars. Rian's ideas were infinitely more interesting than whatever the fuck JJ and co were cooking up, and made perfect contextual sense in a post-OT universe. The burden put on Luke after everything he'd seen and experienced perfectly contextualises the stress and anxiety he would have been under, and his impulsive reaction when faced by a looming threat. He's a man who's had to wear the burden of the force almost exclusively alone, and it's no surprising it buckled him. The climax of him finally coming to peace with it and demonstrating its power through pacifistic manipulation of egomaniacal evil demonstrated true, absolute mastery of the light side. To manifest his being anywhere he wished in the universe and ruse his enemies into their own undoing, without delivering a single blow of his own.
To have him accomplish this and vanish into nothing is the best of endings for his character and I absolutely adore Rian for doing this.
But it doesn't really matter. The entire sequel trilogy was a wet fart as a whole and The Rise of Skywalker is genuinely one of the worst fucking blockbusters I've ever seen in my life.
People here get their media literacy from comics, anime, generic TV, and Cinemasins, so anything more complicated than that just puts these kids in a tizzyLook, theres something i dont understand in these discussions. I am not a star wars fan, i find them just okay-sh movies at best, and i hate the fandom. Last jedi is also just an ok movie, it has good cinematography and editing, but its plagued with all these things that annoy me in blockbusters, which is the amount of sarcasm at all times and how weird and honestly cringy the dialogue is, but this is in all star wars movies. All of them.
What i dont understand is why some people act as if its a hard to understand experimental arthouse movie, its a stupid space fantasy with very simple messaging. Luke believe the jedi were bad things, kylo ren wants it to die, but rey and others tell them that theres merit in failure and that even tho bad things came from the jedi and old times, they also inspired a new generation and now everyone can be a jedi,or those old heroes(aka, star wars as a franchise created a toxic fandom and a lot of long term annoying trends, but it also inspired people irl and gave new creators inspiration,so it should be preserved not attacked). Its really not complicated, but theres a bunch of videos out there going "how last jedi hates star wars" or "decrypting last jedi, what it really meant". My guys, this is not a david lynch movie, how can you have trouble understanding anything about it.
If anything my problem with that movie is that rian is too good a person and he is wrong. It is not worth it to celebrate star wars over criticizing it, as the reaction that the toxic part of the fandom had to this move proves it. Star wars was better dead since the 70s.

Yep. It's a magic moment.
I know a lot of people wanted their Master Luke power fantasy but it just never sat well with me. This is a boy that lived during a period of literal galactic genocide and fascism, saw the only two people who taught him the way of the force die in front him of him, confronted the reality that his own father was a major instigator in events that lead to the murder of billions of innocents, and was ultimately left alone as the last remaining loosely trained master of an ancient magic religion (his sister being a follow up, obviously, but then untrained).
He literally had the burden of the entire Jedi and force on his shoulders. Everything. He was alive in the period of time where the worst the force could be was made reality. He was by far the most prime candidate to have a crisis of faith from the weight of duty and consequence when he had the visions he had. He didn't really have anyone to lean on, only ghosts of the past.
Having him break is justifiable, and having him ultimately come full circle in and end and see himself for what he is and the role he plays was Star Wars brilliance. Totally justified and earned, climatic in a big, memorable moment that absolutely fit everything we've come to learn from what it means to be a Jedi.
There's a lot of bits and pieces in TLJ that I don't like (I found a lot of the Finn stuff super boring, even if I like Kelly Marie Tran and she was unjustifiably sidelined in TROS), but the Luke stuff was *chef kiss*.
Not liking a movie makes you alt right now?Is this a troll op or are these actual complaints people have? Thought it was just the domain of alt right youtubers
Why are the bombers dumb? The bombs were on rails being propelled towards the star destroyer. Once they stop being accelerated by the rails they remain at their speed until impact. No gravity needed.
