Yeah, that droid was weird. I think two movie plots happened at once

It probably just had a ton of Leia stuff so even if he didn't get fired I doubt he would have used it after Carries passing.
Sheev's force storm was rad. Straight out of the EU and I loved it.
I am now certain baby Yoda is Yoda's child, made to justify Palpie's child and to have a grown up new Yoda in some future movie(s).
You're right, what we need is AAA Kotor remakes that are canon.
I did too, I just wish he actually took some people down with it lol
Re: Luke's lightsaber- can someone refresh my memory on TLJ? Didn't it get destroyed at the end of the Rey-Kylo throne room fight?
I dont know man, I'd watch this for it's over the top bullshit just like I'd watch AOTC for its stiff acting. It's hilarious
Why? KOTOR is so far removed from all of the current material that it doesn't contradict anything so it being someone's head canon is perfectly fine.
I would much rather have them put resources to telling new stories.
Except this has an 87% audience score and tons of fans including myself loved this movie
There's not much to refresh. It's implied she repaired it in-between films. Supposedly to further play up the skywalker connection of everything since it's basically excalibur at this point. Though it would have made WAY more sense if she started the film with the yellow-bladed saber we see at the very end.
I'm not, unless you're making disingenuous arguments and just purposefully not getting plot points right.
TLJ was a fever dream we all had apparently since JJ reconned the whole movie.
There was some pieces left, I guess we assume Rey took them and fixed it?
This movie got re-written to hell and back, by the looks of it. Either that, or it has an extremely low opinion of its audience.
It snapped, yes. Rey is holding both pieces as she says "how do we build a rebellion out of this?", IIRC. She just re-forged it, or something.
That's fair. Although it really felt like Hamill phoned it in for what was there in this movie.
I just think that one of the best parts was the lightsaber switch that Rey and Kylo do, and it was based on something that happened in TLJ that helped set that up. I just can't imagine how good the movie could have been if it followed the actual movie it's a sequel to.
Ugh right? Then you have 3P0 resorting back to normal anyway after prospectively losing his memory. That's like 20 mins you could've cut from the movie.
Broooo I'm thinking back on this car wreck and I really can't believe they did Kelly like that omg lol.
Imagine being harassed online by racist nerds on the daily to having the director on the sequel to your film debut go and write you the fuck out of the sequel, capitulating to said nerds who hated the movie you are in.
I didn't particularly care for the Rose/Finn thing either but lord. Shit must be demoralizing and is beyond fucked.

Cowardly? Clunky maybe, but cowardly?
I think people are reading way to much into this JJ/RJ thing. I mean it's obvious they had different ideas for where to go with the story but I really doubt there's any of this pettiness people are trying to infer.
Luke throwing the saber away was when he was disillusioned and thinking the Jedi way was bad.
Luke throwing the saber away was straight "let the past die" garbage. He was in the wrong there.
By the end of the film he sees the err of his ways.
That bit in ROS directly follows how he ends in TLJ. When Rey says "I'm doing what you you did" or whatever and Luke says "I was wrong" that's the same message TLJ was saying.
I don't think the scene is all that great because it flies by like everything else, but it's not at odds with TLJ.
What do you think he was attempting in TLJ?

I liked the appearance but it pretty heavily ties into the cool moment that has no real repercussions a lot of the movie suffers from. The entire sky is lit up but it effectively just EMPs the ships as once he focuses on Rey Poe and everyone else just recover and go back to what they were doing.
Also
uh
Why DID palp stop and focus on Rey? What she's going to do...kill him and have him stop? EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED HER TO DO?
Like the more I think about this movie the worse it gets.
Rey uses both lightsabers to beat Palpatine, so she needed both. Why she needed both to defeat Palpatine a s what difference does it has using two lightsabers to repel lightning force powers? Well... I don't know. Dark arts, force will... Whatever...you want to fit there, sure JJ filled there all he could.
As I said previously, if this is what JJ always had in mind for this trilogy, Rian Johnson was more than justified in scrapping it and doing his own thing imo.
Well now that we have a verified viewer score...it's definitely more reliable
Again how did Kylo's new ship have the way finder still in it (or I guess he repaired it despite the wing getting chopped off and it bursting into flames in the middle of a desert?)
And how did the main star destroyer ascend into orbit if you need a signal to tell which way is up (which I guess the Rebellion doesn't need to leave huh, oops) and the signal they were relying on was shut down
And why didn't they keep literally any star destroyers in orbit so they would be functional against an attack, what happened to the one that destroyed Kajimi? It just decided to fuck back into the atmosphere for reasons?
The amount of plot contrivances this movie has is dizzying

B+ Cinema score which is attrocious. My screening had audible laughter during key moments.
Im glad you like it, but it hurt my head
JJ Abrams can get a big bag of shit for giving Rose the Jar Jar treatment
Sure make all of those "We got her back" comments from LFL folks pretty bad in hindsight
And the worst part is 90% of those fakeouts (like everyone's death except Zori for some reason) last only 2 or 3 minutes. By the time you were getting over the shock of Chewie dying he was alive again. And it happened so frequently that by the halfway point I was like "oh a bad thing happened? I bet they will revers-yup they undid it"
It felt like there were no stakes and nothing mattered because our heroes were virtually immune to death and got turned into 80s action stars. That star destroyer scene where they are just effortlessly mowing down stormies? Did they have Schwarzenegger come in to guest direct that scene?
Question: Who were all the Jedis that talked to Rey at the end, I had to watch it dubbed in spanish so I didn't recognized any voice, except Yoda for the grammar of course. Speaking of Yoda I was hoping against my best judgement that the Mandalorian and baby Yoda arrived to the fight at the end lol, missed opportunity there Disney
Yup. I want to see Star Wars move past the OT, not be a constant "REMEMBER THIS??!?!"
Again, WHY would Luke tell her that beforehand? I get the outcome, but she didn't even hesitate to ask a reason.
Hell, his green one is clearly on the island somewhere, why not take all three?
I think it's still flawed but the legs in the coming weeks will reveal the truth.
She was in the first and second act. She is a minor character. Did people want Rose elevated to a major character role?
Richard jewell has a 96% audience score guess that means it's one of the greatest films ever made
Thanks. Seems weird for her to not feel worthy of it if she was able to repair it back to normal. Making your own lightsaber is supposed to be such a major point of becoming a jedi.
Um....holy shit you're right, wtf???? This plot point was so rediculous I can't say I gave it a second thought. Lmao
what I can't believe is JJ actually said in an interview (was it at Celebration?) that the best thing Rian did was cast Kelly. And then they treat her like this in the actual movie. Just smmfh.
About to say, we won't know anything until the weekend box office. Personally - despite the Cinemascore - I think it'll do fine at the box office and have decent-good legs.
FWIW, TLJ got a lot more reactions (positive) in key moments in my theatre than TRoS did. Because at least there was buildup with a payoff. TRoS, the payoffs just kinda happen. It's not emotionally rewarding to see it, its just there. Which is a shame because those moments would have been great if they built up to it properly.
Idk. I dont even think I was wake during the big space battle. It was so... average. Nothing new in it. At least Force Awakens had that amazing shot of the X-Wings over the ocean, TLJ had the At-Ats versus the weird speeders. The vehicle battles in Rise were so bad as well, Rogue One destroyed this movie in that department as well (and all others, best recent Star Wars movie).
Yeah, that was shitty.
I hope they take a long time away from movies with this franchise. Give it a 5 year gap or something.
I saw it dubbed too, and I think Obi, Mace, and Luke at the end were definitely there. Maybe Leia and Qui-Gon too, but I'm not that sure.
