So had Vader truly killed Palpatine, he would have been instantly juiced up from the Sith cloud backup?
I think the biggest problem for me was how dumb palpatines plan was. They literally had what I'm assuming to be hundreds of planet killing star destroyers and he decides to just keep them on planet and announce he is back.
a team of nobodies against a skywalker seems like a pretty good conclusion to me. Abrams absolutely shat the bed with this, christ.
Didn't even think about this... had he not broadcast his plan... he'd have been invincible.
I mean I'm against a Skywalker villain especially if there's no accompanying Skywalker protagonist. At that point, you're making a case that the Skywalkers are an evil family that are more work for the galaxy than they're worth.
Not sure if that's what JJ wanted me to think but they're the Uchihas/Targaryens of this universe now.
You could however, interpret the Vader /Luke duel in RotJ as an attempt at that ritual
To be fair, only Qui Gonn learned this and passed the trick onto Yoda and Obi Wan.
And Anakin, Leia and Luke learned it somehow because idk they're the Force Jesus family or something
Oh yeah?
I live for stupid Star Wars shit, I might end up enjoying this movie lol
I literally laughed out loud at certain parts of the movie that was not supposed to be funny.
Wasn't it confirmed ages ago that palpatine was always ugly and was just revealing his true self when "fighting" mace windu in ROTS, because if so that makes his melting scene in the new movie even more idiotic.
There is a single shot of one in the finale and it seems they're more aggressive than regular soldiers... the scene lasts maybe 5 seconds, then they are just treated as regular stormtroopers, i'm not joking.
I live for camp Flash Gordon shit and I generally enjoyed it
That's what the ROTS novel said which was based off the script.
That's great, I might end up enjoying it then!
This deal keeps getting better all the time!
They already have death troopers so wtf was even the point? Oh yeah, toys. :|
Just got out of the cinema. It's entertaining but...
Jesus what a fucking mess
This is not ok either.
There are aspects I really liked. I liked that ultimately a Skywalker and a Palpatine joined forces and even found romance saving the galaxy. Adam Driver sold the shit out of his interaction with Han. Amazing moment... There are nice callbacks to other moments in this trilogy. I liked things like Rey scavenging the Death Star like she did the Star Destroyer in TFA. I liked bigger callbacks like Luke raising the X Wing as though it were nothing and giving a smile.
Too much of it is horrible though. It feels so focus tested in some ways but in other ways it's like nobody pushed back and said yo, this might be too much. Why so many wayfinders? One of them is crushed, another is burned, but it's ok.. why not just have one? Likewise when someone writes "thousands of planet killing star destroyers rise out of Exogol" - why not tone that down? If one of those things was bearing down on planet Earth right now btw but we know you could instakill it by shooting it's massive underbelly gun - I probably wouldn't be all that worried. If Emperor Glados has so many minions in his arena, and a Snoke cloning facility, why isn't that shit in use - why aren't his agents already sithing up the universe? It might have been a cool plot point to reveal that the Sith had abandoned the one master one apprentice philosophy...
I feel like aside from the old characters, Kylo Ren is the only character I actually liked. Others had potential but it's mostly squandered imo. Finn definitely had a nicer part than in TLJ though. I actually really liked 3POs role and dialogue too. It was fun. The Leia stuff was very nicely done.
I feel kind of tired after watching it. Like it was just too much. And aside from Passana it's a very muted film. There are definitely moments of colour and over the top action, but if I think of one colour that defined the movie it's probably some kind of bluey grey. Dark.
I probably need to see it again to form a proper opinion but at the moment I have no desire to. I'm not sure it was bad per se, I think I was quite entertained, but I don't feel that NEED to see it again which I've felt for a lot of the others. I feel like Disney have dropped the ball overall. Its not bad, I just feel it could have been much better planned, it could have been much better.
Jesus what a fucking mess

All of that just because Darth Sidious didn't want to raise his granddaughter on his own.
Ben should've lived and started a path toward atonement in exile.
Rey and Sheev should've killed each other.
Jesus then that really shows the incompetence of the writers for ep IX.
honestly? game respect game, I've done similar stuff to avoid responsibilities
I haven't seen the movie, but the galaxy-wide threat transmission by Darth Sidious isn't heard in the film, right? Which means that a crucial part of the plot is exclusive to Fortnite. What the fuck.
That would've been an excellent piece of worldbuilding. Show the state of the universe by having intertwined shots of the transmission being heard by different people/beings on different planets. But nah. What the fuck². Some really weird decisions.

Yes!
But then Poe gives some throwaway line about how they can't and it's just immediately dropped.
I think because there is too many Death Star Destroyers and not enough resistance ships? But it was basically handwaved.
The central point of the Emperor's grand scheme was avoiding child support.
It was mentioned in the text crawl. Which led me to go what the fuck probably too loudly. Not the best start.
I'm starting to think Terrio never revised the script past the first draft.
Yeah, it's odd. I know it's mentioned in the text crawl, but it can be heard here. It's a good line, if a bit short -- why have it absent in the movie? It seems too important. The Emperor has been dead for 30~ years, returns out of the blue, and we are just told about it?
Alright, Real Talk:
Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying star system is in dispute.
vs
The Dead Speak!
Which is the shittier opening sentences in a SW title crawl???

It's wild to watch this movie. So much of it is just a blatant reaction to fan complaints about the last Jedi. As a piece of pulp it's fine, just don't think too hard about it, however it's really jarring to go from a movie that really cares about characterisation and theme, to one that doesn't care at all about that stuff. Literally every character is more interesting in the previous film.
And I haven't heard anyone else mention this, but just visually TLJ is so much more striking than this.

Special shout out to Ep 3 for 'There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere.'
Did they ever explain how an army of barely sentient robots could have heroes?
"The Dead Speak!" is a much more interesting hook than trade disputes.
Well, now that we know that the 9 mainline films are about Palpatine and his family we could probably count him as the hero.
Apparently Finn talks about the rebellion
And calls Endor the final battle
Aka contradicting the force awakens And the battle if jakku
