I’m having trouble parsing your response. First you say Yoda was not a liar, then you say he was until TLJ. I’m confused.

The issues I take is of redefining the heroes journey to lead Luke to where he was. But I blame that on Rian Johnson’s hero deconstruction bent. The Luke at the end of Return of the Jedi was not the kind of Luke that could toss one of his father’s lightsabers over his shoulder like a piece of junk. They didn’t *earn*…

You’ve got it all wrong...

its a tough venue for a suit, also

It turns out people spending more time in “the death zone” is leading to more deaths. No one could have seen this coming...

I would say all Lord and Miller’s projects are way better then they have any right to be. I mean Lego Movie and 22 Jump Street are way better than they have any right to be. (The Spider-verse screenplay alone is a great read) Maybe they wouldn’t have saved the movie but I also think them and Kasdan are just verrrry…

Part of the problem is that it’s pretty clear that nobody had a basic outline of the sequel trilogy’s plot prior to anything being made, which is really dumb. It was also how the original trilogy was made, but that doesn’t make it better.

Didn’t something similar happen with Donnie Darko? The film everyone loved was the one that was put out because of studio interference, then when the 10th anniversary came along the director got to put out his cut and everyone hated it?

Can I just say, that line destroyed any possible appeal the film might have had for me.

Snoke never felt to me like anything other than the Go-Bots version of Palpatine. Like, no matter how much everyone involved in his creation insisted he was important and well-thought out, he always had the feeling of a cheap and hasty knock-off of a much better original.

Did I say somewhere that I was a fan of TFA? For the record — actually I’m already on record here on io9 that I do not like TFA and have not liked it from the get go.

This is going to be a fucking disaster. KK really shit the bed outside of Rogue One.

It gets better and better with the more Star Wars movies that get made. 

Agreed, I switched to flat back, legs crossed in the air position about 8 years ago and never had back issues from bench pressing after

So this is a sequel. Sequels expand on what was originally established, not retread the same fucking water and formals.

Return of the Jedi aka Throw Mama From the Sand Skiff aka Use the Freud, Luke 101

The producers of the Star Wars franchise allowed one writer/director freedom to fundamentally screw up so many things in the story line it will take more than one movie to get everything back on track.

And even then, it had the highest quality two minutes of Force/Lightsaber use...

I fully expect him to create as boring and banal a trilogy conclusion movie as he did a trilogy intro movie.

You want the impossible!
