This is what it seemed like to me. For example the tanks with Snoke clones and the off-handed remarks. It seemed like it was intentionally cut content to help give reasons for EU content. Parts of this movie felt like I bought a game with on-disc dlc.
Average Joe knowing anything about the sith is pretty ridiculous.
Didn't even seem like the Jedi knew much about them in the PT
The shaft exploded.
I mean Darth Maul survived being cut in half and thrown down a shaft yet everyone thinks that's fine.
Honestly it's incredible that Knights of the Old Republic isn't canon but Fortnite is. I absolutely love this.
yep, this random hothead pilot knows all about Sith tech and calls the Emperor by his real name. So cool
being thrown down holes in star wars has a 100% survival rate, at this point I just assume they work on looney tunes logic
"Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plageius the Wise?"
"Of course, everyone knows that story!"
That wouldn't explain why she didn't fade immediately like all other Jedi, and instead faded the exact moment Kylo did.
Standard TIEs from the original trilogy didn't have hyperdrives but some more advanced models(both in old and new canon) did.
Hyperdrives seem to be standard for First Order TIEs.
Chewie getting a medal is weird because he already got one in the comics and the comics are canon, no?
Oh yeah I forgot about that part...
then I guess she was with him?
So, before TRoS came out, apparently there was a personal take by Alan Dean Foster on what episode 9 should be, and Jenny Nicholson did a video basically reading it all out loud.
Now, you don't have to watch it, because, yeah, ti's almost as long as a movie itself, but one of the most hilarious parts is the Snoke clones. Turns out Snoke predicted or counted on Kylo Ren killing him and had clones of himself and the final battle is Luke fighting off a bunch of snoke clones, and it's just got really fucking funny to say things like "the trio of snokes", and "multiple snokes" and "another snoke" and "No more Snokes".
Come TRoS, we see a jar full of snokes and I'm fucking dying nad that was the first indication TRoS was gonna go places.
Atleast we didn't have to see Rey being a half droid hybrid.

99% of people both making and watching watching this movie do not know or care about the EU.
There is a group of at least six people working at Lucasfilm called the Story Group whose job -- whose only job, the thing they get paid for and write down on their IRS tax forms -- is to ensure things like this don't happen lol
Like I said, they don't care, rightly so. A film production is never going to yield on a creative decision to some cartoon or videogame.
Yeah Mace Windu was in there as well. He said something like "Stand up, motherfucker!"
I guess Carrie Fisher was meant to do that part but she passed away so they couldn't really do it, but giving it to Lando to do? Why not Poe or Finn? I thought the whole point of this trilogy existing was so it would kill off the original cast and let the new characters be the heroes.
As somebody who loved TFA (and it was my first actual SW film) and enjoyed TLJ a lot, I had a lot of mixed feelings about this film.
Was Palpatine really necessary? Why did he hide all of this time when he could have just ruled the First Order? If his plan was to make Rey kill him, why not use the force to make her do it?
Why was Poe suddenly the least agreeable of the trio? Why were him and Finn suddenly not agreeing with each other? Why did Zorii Bliss go from "I HATE YOU" to "come with me" like damn they couldn't have a new female character who did not have any romantic connection to a main character? Why was Poe a "spice runner" in the past? When did he have time between having a very happy, comfortable childhood with his Rebel parents and going to school in the New Republic and serving as a pilot for it until he joined the Resistance? Are we supposed to believe Poe hit on hard times during all of this and needed to become a spice runner for some random space gang? Was it a mission? Did he take a gap year?
Why was Hux suddenly a spy? I remember this was the rumor floating around since after TLJ released but lol
I have more rhetorical questions, but I just wanted to say that my theater groaned and laughed at the kiss. If Kylo has earned his return to the light side, sure maybe it would have been fine but he doesn't imo. And the weird thing is, I really enjoyed all of the Kylo and Rey stuff regardless of how I felt about Kylo's redemption but their sudden unspoken love was definitely not earned.
Also Kylo's scar just disappeared at some point and it had me dying for the whole film. How could they forget to give him the scar?
I have a lot of other thoughts on this film but I need time to figure it all out.

Why were the Knights of Ren even in this movie
You have this group of badass force users who are of a kind with Kylo Ren. That makes them either great antagonist material or EU bait for which fans can go and learn about them. Cool.
After not appearing in the first 2 films, they are finally a part of the 3rd and....they're nobody. They do nothing. They're just elite mooks with no dialogue or personality....and they're not even good at that because they only really beat fight Kylo Ren and then die.
Why have them be in the movie at all then?
I'm sorry to anyone whose annoyed at me spamming the thread with my scatter shot thoughts, but I'm still processing and I'm going from one element to another thinking "Why" to each one and most of them are coming up "idk"

So much for Luke being the spark a hopeless galaxy needed!
It was amusing thinking about the line 'A GRAVE APPEARS' every time a named character died in the film
But this creative decision was fucking stupid and adds nothing to the film. Abrams should have been overruled.
So I'm not surprised but also lol: DJ from The Last Jedi was not in this movie and thus he got away scot free.
If I remember well Rey healed the scar of her little Nazi boyfriend. Probably because it remembered her of the time he tried to killed her best friend.
lol, I was watching this video earlier today, after I'd seen TROS, and it is an absolute riot in retrospect. Not thirty seconds into the movie you see an ACTUAL VAT OF SNOKE CLONES! I can't imagine what was going through Jenny's mind. Her video's going to be incredible :P
When Lando just appeared randomly on that desert planet, that's when I knew they forgot to write a script.
Did they even explain what the wayfinders were? It was all such a mess. Essentially JJ shoved all his ideas for Episode 7, 8 and 9 into one convoluted script and then hacked away at it until he got it down to 2 hours.

I felt the same way about the Leia scenes. I would have rather just CG'd her entire performance and got someone who sounded like her. It didn't fit any scene and it stood out in a weird/yuck kind of way.
1. ESB
2. ANH
3. TLJ
4. R1
5. ROTJ
6. TFA
7. Skywalker
8. Solo.
9. ROTS
10. TPM
11. AOTC
After sleeping on it, think this is where the films rank for me. First 3 Disney movies filled me with so much hope for Star Wars only to turn into "well it's not the prequels"

Didn't Lando specifically say that Leia sent him? Also the wayfinders were a map to the Sith world.
Leia's lightsaber was blue in the flashback, Luke's was the green one.
