Yeah, worst part of the film by far. SAD.

The 10 yr old girl who sat behind us was in full Jedi gear and holding her Star Wars Teddy bear. She was balling her eyes out at the ending; it broke my heart. She has seen 3 Star Wars films in a theater and probably got her heart broke in all of them

“Believe me.”

it fits with the theme of Luke saying that the Jedi don’t own the Force and how there is a spark of hope at the end with the kid using the Force and clearly wanting to join the Resistance.

There’s that point in the movie where everything goes silent. Our whole theater was silent and then a little boy said “Ohhhhh!” and you could hear the wide eyed wonder in his voice. I felt like that through most of the movie.

I don’t think Kylo is lying about Rey’s parents. There used to be thousands of Jedi and they were supposed to be celibate so it stands to reason that you don’t have to be a Skywalker or a Kenobi in order to be strong in the Force. There must be lots of other people naturally attuned to it out there - and it’s about…

I thought the kid thing was supposed to be less of an audience surrogate and more of a little- ‘anybody can be a jedi. it doesn’t end with rey’ thing.

That kid is the future of the Rebellion, maybe literally. Did you see what he did with the broomstick?

I loved the page turner remark. Yoda at his best. It also shows how powerful they are after their physical death.

I might be the only one, but when Leia was watching all those rebel soldiers being slaughtered in that one battle with the storm troopers, I thought it seemed a little out of character for her to say, “I think there is blame on both sides.”

Between this and Twin Peaks, Laura Dern may have the weirdest year for how characters end up.

Strongly agree with the undercooked plot thing. It took a long time to get to the meat of the story. But the last 35 minutes or so were great so I forgive it.

I was smiling and tearing up when he said he’d missed “Young Skywalker.” of course from his point of view Luke is still basically an overgrown embryo.

My guess as to why none of the other ships did that right before running out of fuel is that Laura Dern didn’t know if it would actually work. It was a total move out of desperation. And IT F***ING RULED.

I nearly teared up when Yoda showed up. This movie RULES!

Even shorter review:

But the more important thing I am saying here is that I am sure I remember [SPOILER ALERT] Laura Dern turning her capital ship around and ramming it through the bad guys’ ships at the fucking speed of fucking light, [END SPOILERS] which ruled so fucking hard that even now, typing it, I feel like yelling “Fuck yeah,”…
