Yeah. If I remember right, spices are pretty much the Star Wars term for drugs.

I'm not ready for the porn that will be coming out in the next couple months.So who did Sheev knock up, anyway? That bald lady from RotS?
Is that Rey's grandma?
I was annoyed about this at first too - but the inscription of the Dagger. being the location of DS2 means the dagger is actually quite new, so in theory it kind of makes sense if it was one of the few ways to help acolytes find their way into the base in the unknown regions.
I'm stretching here to give it the benefit of the doubt.
It kills me how well the scene where Kylo turns works. Han appearing, directly returning to the TFA choice, chucking the saber, all of it. Everything leading up to that scene is awful and rushed and I equally dislike the way it all wraps up afterwards, but it felt like they did find the "right" moment to pivot on. It's a shame the rest doesn't come close to earning it.
It was just a later retcon because they wanted to patch things up.
Oh yeah they kind of dicked him around on solo didn't they? I forgot about that.
Someone watched the Goonies and National Treasure too many times.
Yea he literally used it straight away and would never have been able to save Chewbacca without it. It was all very contrived you would have been better off forgetting it.
I agree. Ian would have crushed that material too.
"Oh Rey don't kill me pwease. I'm too weak. I'm your loving grandfather."
Or a scene like this between him and Rey would have been aces.
Luckily they crash landed at the exact right spot.
Luckily they crash landed in general so they couldn't just land on the wreckage and they can introduce rose's replacement.
it's like spice and death sticks that come up most often there's probably a bunch more but I don't remember.
They were doing a good job of it already!
I don't get this idea that the fate of Kylo Ren's merch rested on him being redeemed. What parent is buying their child a Kylo Ren lunchbox and justifying it to themselves as, "Sure he killed Han Solo and oversaw the destruction of billions of innocent lives, but in a few years it'll all work out?" Kids don't care about that shit! They dress up as Kylo Ren because he looks cool. Just like kids dressed like Darth Vader and played with Vader toys in 1977 long before redemption or Skywalker family ties were on the table. Kids like bad guys too!
spice is a phrase used for anything.
paying in "spice" means paying with merch, not money, what the merch is can vary.
but the way they make fun of Poe, makes me feel it was literall just Spices for cooking or something
So much loss, regret and love. Even with their father son relationship barely being established in TFA, Driver and Ford absolutely sold the scene incredibly well. I teared up and that NEVER happens to me. I'm not a cryer lol
Oh boy. I just came out.
I really enjoyed the movie until around the hour mark. Then... Then.
It's not as bad as AotC, but I struggle to place it above anything else.

it is kinda funny how overused hyperdrive was in this movie considering the main conflict in TLJ was their inability to just do it whenever they like
What's weird is that the super young enthusiast crowd last night groaned when they kissed and the super old boomer crowd this morning couldn't have cared less.
This is the same movie that has our heroes find a ship in the middle of the desert that's been there for who knows how long, but is somehow not at all looted by scavengers and in perfect working condition.
Why did they even crash like that. The gear was busted, not the ability to slow down
It was a good scene but Han just appearing did elict a chuckle out of me.
I missed it then. Still though, that does mean he did use it, which was my point.
Parts of Luke's Xwing were literally scavenged off as spare parts for Luke's hut. It wasn't super obvious but his door was literally made of parts of the xwing. It was scrapped and ditched.
But I guess since that wasnt very obvious in TLJ, JJ decided he could get away with pretending that didn't happen and that the xwing was just totally intact.
well when you got quicksand and a snake thingprotecting the wreckage, I guess...
meanwhile the mandalorian leaves his ship for like 3 minutes and it's completely looted and disassembled by Jawas.
Leia calling out to Ben has been the best moment for me across both viewings.
Fully agree on that. That's the only sequence in the film that builds on both TFA and TLJ. The rest is just mindless drivel.
Kylo is indeed beyond redemption due to killing maybe trillions for years on end. That´s what happened to his original version Darth Caedus.
I did not like those books but they understood how to end things in a thematically appropriate and coherent manner, I'll give them that. They (3 trilogies) were also written by 3 different people but they told one story.
Jacen died at age 32 with a kid and a sister (she killed him). Luke also had 1 son. Ben did at age 30 and ended the Skywalker bloodline. Gr8t. No more Star War!

Personally, out of all the returnee's. Ford and Hamill didna great fucking job. Carrie, as sad as it is, came across really wooden. I think direction might be quite a bit to blame. Billy Dee looks like a sweat bag of ham reading one liners off fortune cookies they really fucked up bringing him back and giving him jack shit to work with.
Yeah. It was dumb as hell to redeem Kylo but that scene was good. Not sure why people think Anakin appearing would have been better. Imagine Hayden Christensen trying to act with Adam Driver

The Rise of Skywalker (even though all of them died).
It was pretty much the only scene of the movie that actually elicited emotions from me. When he called Han Dad, they got me.
I think it's the end shot with the double Sun on tattooine
Even then there's a huge difference between a couple days submerged in a freshwater bog, and being submerged for a decade in the ocean.
Look, not like there's a good pilot on board or anything!...
They just needed an excuse to separate Rey from everyone, who then after having the macguffin destroyed, just carjacks Kylo and leaves him stranded there, but he had the second macguffin so it's fine.
But then he, somehow, gets there at the end without it. I guess he used it once and knows exactly how to do it again, lol.
They had to give a reason for them not to just be able to fly over to the Death Star wreckage I guess? Gotta make sure we spend a bunch of screen time showing Rey using a boat to get over there! For some reason!
Just got out. I really enjoyed this! My main issue is that it should have been longer. And also where the hell my my dual of fates??! I feel the saber duel between Kylo and Rey on the Endor system needed some music. Dual of fates would have been awesome there.
And.... I was one who enjoyed The Last Jedi. But now... Man it feels like such a wasted episode. This movie makes episode 8 pretty much unnecessary viewing. Like episode 9 is the real sequel to episode 7. Now I'm just kind of frustrated that episode 8 is essentially a waste. JJ should have just directed and gone through with the whole trilogy and the story would have gone much better I think. I get what Rian Johnson was doing. And honestly if he was given his whole trilogy I expect nothing but great things. But I feel like here this trilogy was not all his own and he should have tried to respect JJs path a little more. At least for the sake of a cohesive story.
Its like Johnson said screw your story I'm telling mine. And I get that but man save it for your own trilogy. This is your one part in a three part story. Try and follow the mold a bit.
I don't know. Just wish we could have seen where and how the story went had JJ also done 8. Where Luke would be. Maybe even some of the twists and revelations from episode 9 would have been in 8 and then we would have had more time for other story beats, character development, and twists in 9.
I mean this was the Skywalker saga. JJs vision makes much more sense to me. It's about family. And it keeps all the trilogys connected. Where the heck was the story gonna go with Johnson's vision of Rey is no one and Snoke and Luke are dead? Rey is no one kind of takes away from the tying all the trilogys together. I get it Ben is a Skywalker but still. It ties everything much nicer with this duality, family, yin and yang confilct between Palpatine and Skywalker generations.
Again overall the film I thought was awesome and lots of fun. Just wish I could have seen what could have been.

Yeah actually what the hell was up with that.
Billy Dee should have had way more screentime, like Han in TFA.
Someone in my theater yelled 'WHAT THE FUCK' and they were clearly not impressed. I didn't find it a big deal. Even if he was a ghost and not just kylos memory or whatever, I was really happy to see Harrison ford again.
The ending got a giant LOL from me.
So, to beat the Empire literally all anyone had to do was FIGHT BACK. "Hey guys what if we didn't just roll the fuck over for no reason?" Imagine if the New Republic had had an army at all. They'd have rolled the Orders.
Also, did they really just casually say "The Holdo maneuver won't work because reasons." because they knew they'd written themselves into a corner? Literally I was thinking to myself, "Well, just do that again. It worked perfectly before."
