no sarcasm
It is now. In fairness we've never seen anyone else do it. Could Dooku?
She just reflected his sith lightning back on him so actually he killed himself its actually a super clever loophole because it makes sense that the jedi would not kill a sith so just taking a deliberate action that causes his death but happens because of something he did is a great way to side step the whole issue and abrams is so darn smart and clever and
The Sheev bloodline trait gives her force lightning twice a day and +2 to her initiative rolls.
It could've been earned if the film took a second to take a goddamn break.
Vaders turn to darkness and redemption weren't much different
On multiple occasions.
Vader's was easier to take because the film was slower and he doesn't redeem himself until the very end, instead of at the end of the second act.
Vader didn't make out with one of his victims before he died.
Palpatine shouldn't have been brought back at all. Kylo being the final villain and Rey coming to terms with being a nobody would've made a much stronger arc for both of those characters.
That wasn't my experience. Both times I've seen it, people were bawling during that scene. On Twitter people seemed to love it too.
How do you make that interesting though? Or into a whole movie?
And it turns out Rian dumped that plot for a reason and that's because it was BAAAAAAD. People thought he was discarding shit for no reason when - in hindsight - he was trying to steer the Titanic away from the iceberg.
Just throw a dozen macguffins in there and some planet destroying weapons. Plotting doesn't matter!
But rey can already beat him. So the movie would just be she beats him again.
Did anyone think for a second that rey and the gang would fail to defeat the emperor? Power levels are less important then polished writing and Kylo is the character both previous films set up.
