You say that now, but what if I told you the person whose record Han beats in the Kessel Run was actually Snoke, who later sustained his injuries attempting to reclaim the record, causing him to vow a long, slow revenge on the Solo family?

It’s certainly a weird fucking itinerary, that’s for sure. Evazan and Ponda Baba are in Jedha City and must be on their way to the spaceport or something to leave when he bumps into Jyn and Cassian because there’s like at best two hours or so between that and the moon getting blown up, and from there goes...to…

Finally, someone with a valid Star War complaint.

Too soon dude. Dr. Evazan literally just died.

I feel like his head is the wrong shape to play Solo.

Wait. The original deal was that he gave up Han and friends’ location to Vader so Vader could use them to get Luke, a dude Lando had never met.

Giving up Han to Fett and Leia/Chewie to the Empire permanently was not the original deal he made with Vader.

“These deals get better all the time!”

So what I’m hearing is that you think there should be a malt beverage in the Star Wars universe called Parsec 12 that works every time. I’m on board. Let’s do it, Abrams.

Yeah, I dunno about the “harming civilians” part. Seems more likely that he betrayed Han and Leia to Vader because we all know what happens to people who cross Vader.

Lando Calrissian, the eternally smooth smuggler who somehow became the Baron Administrator of Cloud City and a general for the Rebel Alliance.

But Dumbledore is dead and he doesn’t exist. Checkmate atheists!

I thought it was great that when you see that seen from Ben’s perspective, Luke is this wild eyed monster.

If you haven’t seen Clone Wars, go watch it. Clone Wars fulfills the potential of the prequel trilogy. Anakin works. The Jedi corruption works. Anakin/Padme even basically work. It’s not perfect (it suffers from the writers not being able to fully overcome their desire to have the Jedi cleanly be heroes), but it’s…

I’m amazed at how little imagination some fans of a space fantasy opera have. Like they can’t believe a Skywalker would have mild Force abilities unless there’s some exposition about it. It’s a running theme with the complaints about Snoke’s backstory, Rey’s parentage, etc.

For every criticism I see pop up about The Last Jedi, I can come up with at least one time in the canon of Star Wars that a similar “problem” was given a pass (typically somewhere in the “unassailable” Empire Strikes Back). Also, gleeful arsonist force ghost Yoda is the best of all Yodas.

No resistance nor much gravity in space, so only a little force (not “Force”) would push her. Doesn’t seem more or less plausible than pulling a lightsaber out of the snow and willing it to fly to his hand when Luke was also an untrained, amateur force user. As for surviving in space - don’t know much about that. But…

“too absurd for any logical/practical movie franchise”

I also loved the jab at the Jedi Order of the prequels when Luke points out how they were over romanticized and more or less brought about the rise of Palpatine and the Empire through their own ineptitude.

I appreciated that Luke’s error wasn’t in trying to kill Kylo Ren, but he admits that it was his own arrogance thinking he could even train new Jedi... which ended up being a self-fulfilling prophecy, because who knows if Ren would have gone full dark side if he hadn’t seen Luke standing over him with a lightsaber.

I really loved the way they did Luke’s costuming in the film. For most of it, he looks like Obi-Wan...brown and white robes, like the old Jedi Master style. And Luke, in trying to emulate that old style, ended up disillusioned with all of it.
