In the same way kids of the 2000s love the Prequels I suppose.
There were like 3 people in my showing that tried to start a clap and then it died when no one else joined in.
It was just a fucking factory...that's all it needed to be JFC
I guess, but maybe he figured that re-emerging too soon would galvanize his enemies. It would have been easier for the Resistance to recruit people if they could be all like "Holy shit everybody, guess who's back!" So Palpatine used a clone/creature that doesn't resemble his original form.
I'd like to thank our unofficial sponsor, JJ Abrams, for making this speculation possible with his "less is more" approach to storytelling.

I mean I literally had a person behind me who was doing commentary behind me throughout large chunks of the movie. They were clearly drunk and it was just infrequent enough that I did not turn around and ask them to be quiet so trust me I understand that people can be annoying.
I...didn't like it. And the more I think about it, the more I dislike it. What a disappointment. :/
I did like Leia's scenes though - they did the best they could under the circumstances. I also enjoyed seeing Lando, even if he didn't get the material he deserved.

Man this movie was wack as fuck. They really had Carrie Fisher out here like Chef in that one episode of South Park.
I really thought that would work, and I guess it looked convincing. But every time she was on screen it took me right out of the movie. Just a weird, ghostly performance.

Nah I'm pretty sure they hate it too
I just had a brief glimpse of the Star Wars thread on Kiwi Farms (yeah, I know), and they were all shitting on it as well.
Yes and then compensate for the fact that it fell into a fucking ocean
Better hope none of it gets washed away or breaks off from rust
I don't think disliking Rose makes you fascist... I'm not a fan of the character but you don't see me goose stepping down main street
I mean the stupid out of place humour was bad, but that was not the only thing wrong with that opening.
I don't like her either but the fact that JJ didn't give her anything to do or improve her character and shoved her away from doing anything important 😬
Yeah thats probably it. Oh well, I don't have it in me to see it again like the previous 2 :(
There's not a single action scene in TROS that builds and pays off like the throne room in TLJ. Anyone who says otherwise just prob doesn't understand movies full stop
The Rebels had the old plans, yeah and TFA established that Rey's life as a scavenger gave her some skill in navigating old Empire ships.
Instead, Abrams solved it in typical Abrams fashion. He awkwardly lifted something from Raiders of the Lost Ark in a way that misses key elements of what made that scene iconic in the first place.
So in total, this movie succeeds at pleasing literally no one except the uncritical?
*sigh* I am so tired of seeing this point misconstrued that I am not even going to bother to correct it.
It was a bad response to a criticism though. I don't like the idea of reversing something that was done in the previous movies just because fans didn't like it. Like I agree that Rose was basically a nothing character and that the "romance" between Finn and Rose was basically not set up at all until they kissed out of nowhere but it was established in the lore. JJ had an obligation to build upon what came before not disregard it. Like most of the stuff that happened with that stormtrooper lady could have easy been done with Rose instead and would have built upon lore that was established in the previous movie.
I still wonder - in this universe, what kind of asshole would you have to be to join the First Order?
It's like literally volunteering for the Nazis knowing exactly what they are. Yet somehow they keep finding enough people to crew all their planet killing WMDs.

Palpatine: Kylo you have yet to surpass Vader
Kylo: Uh, I totally killed the stand in for you in the last movie and became the direct leader of the fascists instead of being a lapdog like Vader
Palpatine: No, you didn't. Now go get your fuckin mask
Every main character in this is reset to where they were at the start of TLJ. It's fucking fascinating.

Yeah I feel bad for the actress, she didn't deserve the Jar Jar treatment.
Kelly Tran didn't deserve what happened to her with the TROS, especially after all of the harassment she received. It was disappointing to see JJ cave to the pressure of cyber bullies. However, my comment was more about me being tired of seeing people disliking certain aspects of TLJ hand-waved off as alt-right, not everything is political like that.
I was expecting myself to like it more than TFA because I didn't like the fact that JJ did a boring rehash with that one, but this has way too many dumb things that it's quite easily the worst Disney Star Wars movie.
Jar Jar did more and had more screentime in AOTC and ROTS than Rose here
He didn't inspire anyone by standing up to the First Order but Lando managed to convince the entire galaxy to take on a fleet of planet crackers 🤔
He's not a Jedi though because Rey is all of the Jedi.
Alright just got back from 2nd screening.
1. Dolby atmos is amazing to experience this movie but RealD 3D is so crisp and amazing in visual quality.
2. I still couldnt make out Ahsokas voices it was pretty low compared to the other voices.

He didn't inspire and he could have simply flown to Crait.
It's so disappointing that JJ reacted to the Mary Sue complaints by quite literally making Rey into a Super Saiyan 3 Mary Sue.
This movie was laughably bad. The only part I found genuinely funny was the exchange between Poe and finn when Poe asks him to be co general with him. "Finn I cant do this alone I want you to be general with me." "This droid knows somethi.....oh thank you" "general" "general". Other then that it's just jj polishing another turd hoping the audience wont he able to see through the shine.
That too
And people will think this movie treats him better than Rian did lmao
