Havent seen the movie yet but want to watch HitB now. What do I do?
IIRC, the extent of his sillness is just a laugh too.I agree with them on almost all fronts. TLJ has good subversive ideas, but it's HEAVILY weighed down by the sloppy as hell B and C plots.
Disagree with the Yoda tangent though. Crazy Yoda ghost became the wise Yoda ghost once he talked some sense into Luke, and because this is Star Wars post OT, that was obviously a parallel and reminder to how Luke's relationship with Yoda developed in ESB.
It's basically the opposite for me.they pretty much see the movie 100% like i see it, and that doesn't happen often
I had the same thought. I was hoping that it would happen, because it would have been very interesting.
That's what I thought they were gonna do, and that would have been pretty awesome. Gah.Yeah, I agree a lot with what they're saying on a number of fronts and even made me realize some things I'd sort of thought about but not fully realized if that makes any sense. It feeling more like a final part or as if it was leading into a tv series especially.
I admit I had a similar thought as Mike did that
Rey and Kylo actually working together would have been super interesting. If you wanted a conflict you could have there be a split between a Kylo/Rey faction and a Hux faction. You could have tension between the Kylo faction and the Resistance too as well as still have there be that conflict with Kylo still becoming an antagonist as he struggles with himself.
I disagree with them a lot on this one. I liked the execution of the movie and the ideas on it. I think it succeeds as much as it can in making something new out of this universe that, as rich says, is kind of limited.
I think it open doors, at the very least, that not everyone has to be a fucking Skywalker. Also it brings back a Force that is mysterious and unlimited and not just something that you use to lift rocks.
Having said that, I agree with them that it feels like the last chapter and not the middle.
Because unlike Empire, it ends with the answers. We don't see it, but it is there
Luke's legend grow, the rebellion is reborn, they fight the evil empire
If the third movie is nothing more than we seeing this playing out, I will be so disappointed.
See, this is how much I liked this movie. I don't want another" just star wars ".
that was the best

I need to see this movie again because I feel like I was half agreeing with them but I am extremely excited about the future of Star Wars and I thought the twists were just right.
Except they reset the universe by literally going back to the formula.Agreed with most of what they said.
As for the future of Star Wars, idk. You could look at this movie as a finale, but I think its more of a beginning. SinceLike basically you can now go anywhere you want with it. You don't have to stick to the formula anymore.at the end of the movie theres very few people left from the past other than Leia
But what do you expect JJ Abrams to be able to do with what Rian left him? He left JJ in pretty much the worst position of any Star Wars sequel. Abrams now has to spend a good chunk of the next movie re-setting up characters and somehow writing Leia out of the trilogy. TLJ was written in a way to be a standalone movie and not part of an overall narrative in a trilogy.
I am sure Abrams will figure it out with his Academy Award winning co-writer, but doesn't put him in any easier of a position.
Now I understand why Trevorrow was having such a tough time figuring out how to conclude this trilogy.
