Ben would be thrown in prison for the rest of his life or executed for war crimes. He wouldnt be able to Sasuke his way out of it neither because Rey thinks he is a good guy now.
Yes. Palpatine neutralized an entire fleet by himself.
I literally let out a exasperated sigh when that happened. How they gonna do my boy Finn like that? They gonna leave Chekhov's gun on the wall like that and never tell us what Finn was gonna say? SMH
He probably didn't expect to be shouted down by a member of Kanji Club.
The dice were just part of Luke's projection, but the ability to pass objects back and forth stems from Ben and Rey's special connection. In TLJ it comes from Snoke bridging them (most obvious example is when Ben's hand gets wet from the rain), hereit seems to be made permanent by them being a "Force Dyad".
Presumably Sith loyalists like the assassin Ochi who killed Rey's parents.
Force healing was a special skill that only a few had in the old EU, like Barriss Offee. Actual resurrection has only been demonstrated once, as far as I know, and that's when Anakin revived Ahsoka in TCW through the power of the Daughter on Mortis, who is basically a Force goddess. But his mind got wiped so he wouldn't have remembered that.
Rando will dual wield Luke and Leia's sabers after digging them up in the Lar's Homestead.
I'll chirp. Finn and Poe do not have arcs in this movie. They shoot things and they tell jokes and they yell each other's names a lot. No one in this movie has any real development except Rey and Ben. Ben's consists of a single scene and Rey's is a limp rehash of Luke's journey in ROTJ, but they grow. Finn and Poe do not.
I guess peeps got their trio meme, so enjoy it.
It's in the visual dictionary where it was also revealed that planet was Mustafar.
This whole thing of not providing any context and relying on the EU as a crutch seems to be a really big JJ thing. You had to read Bloodline to know anything about the backstory/political makeup of the galaxy during TFA and he's done it again with TROS. TLJ had the least amount of this supplemental required reading shit.
Who's presenting it as "groundbreaking"?
The point isn't that "anybody can be anything" is new or original as a thematic concept, the *counterpoint* is that nothing is interesting about Rey being a palpatine (or a skywalker for that matter) as its been presented.
Which is especially odd since it's JJ and he has no issue mining nostalgia and other popular movies for the entirety of his work lol
I was pretty disappointed with Finn's ending and I felt they almost had it. They should have kept everything the same but when they get back to the jungle planet after the final fight Finn goes over and confirms he has been in a relationship with Rose the whole time. When Rey gets there he reveal that the thing he wanted to tell her is that he is force sensitive. That would have made his arc feel so much better to me.
After absorbing most of the power of Rey and Kylo, while on a planet that amplifies force powers. (And that's still fucking absurd)
Why does Luke have to be some badass Superman? Buddha Luke is so much more interesting.
The history of the planet and it relationship to Vader? Would have imbued the Mcguffin hunt with some much needed meaning. Considering bens obsession with Vader it's extremely weird not to make that clear
The Wayfinder is Vader's, which explains why Kylo would know where to go to find it. If it's not in his castle but just in a treasure chest in some forest, that's not clear.
Apparently the people Kylo was killing at the beginning of the film were no angels so it makes it easier to stomach our heroine making out with a space Nazi at the end of the movie
What a fucking asshat. Sorry you had to endure that. I'd definitely be on edge if I had someone like that near me.
oh wow I am sorry. I swear I wouldn't have done any of the things I said I would do if you didn't pipe down. But Guavian death gang* don't play around.
* I had to google it
He was there on his own and in his mid twenties. WHO DOES THAT!?
Why would he turn himself into the Resistance? He'd just go off on his own, like a lone wanderer. Rey would probably tell everyone he died in the battle.
I don't think so. I think JJ Abrams is a competent director, I just don't think he should be writing. TFA kind of needed to be a stock standard Star Wars adventure to prove that Disney could pull it off, and JJ Abrams could reliably do that, and his whole "mystery box" philosophy could give other more creative filmmakers some toys to play around with.
The problem here is that they wanted JJ to
1. Unite an already divided fandom
2. Actually craft a strong ending to a 40 year saga.
Neither of which really play to JJ's strengths. Not to mention any behind-the-scenes feelings over TLJ, which this movie seems to go out of its way to "correct" as much as possible.
No, you have to read the visual dictionary explaining why it's on Mustafar!
Probably!
If he won't be involved it's kind of weird that they haven't announced it. They only let a few months go by, at most, after D&D's exit before announcing it. If Johnson is a hard "no" I think they would have said so by now.
I've made a point to follow the Ochi storyline all three times I've seen it and each time I eventually just give up and wonder what got cut. Shit doesn't make sense.
It's been a while but I forgot how much of a little bitch Anakin is. This character is trash lol.
The only logical reason for Operation Cinder at this point is that Sheev wanted to fuck with Vader as a big challenge. "I'm dead, now you have to deal with all this shit."
Except if he anticipated Vader killing him, he probably would have wanted to possess him, so it still makes no sense!

The movie doesn't even hint at one being Vader's at all. You have to read supplemental material for that lol
Why didn't Force ghost Anakin tell Luke at the end of ROTJ? I'm so confused lol
Its so weird that Ben didnt got a force ghost at the end especially since everyone can do it apparently after Quan Chi discovered it in the prequels.
It is Vaders. Don´t aks questions. I don´t know... The last second script was re-written during shooting by JJ. But who can tell, it was all so smoth and logical.
How hot a take is it to say that Kylo Ren is a better antagonist than Vader? More depth and better acting, perhaps less bad-ass but w/e. Not saying he'll be as iconic 30 years down the line, because he clearly won't be, but Kylo's role was very well written by SW standards honestly.
So basically a fugitive on the run killing people who rightfully are trying to bring him to justice for his crimes while Rey is a lying piece of shit letting a mass murderer walk freely.
I really wish this film could be made non cannon it fucks too much with everything including Disney's own canon
Because the entire plot of this movie was created without much thought.
Considering the general story this movie took it absolutely, 100% needed a substantial Hayden Christensen/Anakin Skywalker scene. I don't know how you could come up with this story about Palpatine being back from the dead, the great manipulator of everything, wrapping up the whole """"Skywalker Saga"""" and yet you don't have Anakin and Kylo/Ben having a head to head conversation.
At least Vader got the jump on Sheev. Ben doesn't even get that.
so ochi was sent to deliver Rey to palpatine so she could kill him and he could possess her with the other sith.
reys parents sold her into slavery to hide her.
that dude was palpatine's estranged son I guess?
and ochi failed to find her so he brought the parents who didn't snitch.
and then ochi... wait I think he... um pyramid thing and ... but not the dagger... but then he fell into sandsnek lair and died randomly?
Ah you don't remember the space scotsman in episode 7? It's about the only significant thing i remember of it now.
I'm not saying he's not involved, but I seriously doubt they're still giving him a trilogy.
Yeah lmao
"If an Empire cannot protect its Emperor then that Empire must be deemed a failure. It collapses not only because its central figure is gone, but because it must not be allowed to remain!"
Makes sense, except for the fact that the dude was actually building up another fleet and was alive the entire time
Just got out and I loved it, brought tears of joy when lando showed up with half the galaxy behind him. I thought the end of the kylo/Rey arc was handled perfectly. Kylo Ren's story over all three movies was really good, his internal struggle between light and dark was amazing.
I love how they went the extra mile to sort of explain a lot of the issues people had with the last Jedi.
