Also, in theory, I don’t think force-projecting is lame, but because I didn’t know that’s what was happening, it was distracting to see Luke’s appearance altered inexplicably. But I guess that’s my bad for not figuring it out sooner.

I interpreted the lightsaber being the classic because it’s the one thing that Kylo wants most - the thing that will make him a “true master” (or something)

The Force Projection was lame, and probably only able to be appreciated on a second viewing as my brain was going all Cinema Sins thinking, “Luke had time to shave, cut his hair, and dye both of them, then met up with Rey and mend his father’s lightsaber before joining the fight?”

So this was one of the most distracting things for me. I am 99% sure that it was Anakin’s lightsaber, which, in reality had been destroyed before in the force tug-of-war between Rey and Kylo Ren (this is why we can’t have nice things!). I think it was supposed to be a clue to eagle-eyed fans that something wasn’t as…

I felt very confused about this movie. I liked a lot of it, but also probably disliked more of it than any SW movie other than a prequel, but this actually made me reconsider a lot. I definitely need to see it again, and I’m sure there will be things that still bother me, but overall I bet I’ll like it more.

True, every time I’ve voluntarily bumped off a plane, I’ve gotten an airline voucher that’s essentially useless. It blows my mind that this industry is allowed to sell people services that it may or may not actually provide, TBD at the very last minute after you’ve already gone through the hassle of getting to the…

This is a dumb question, but in speaking of the delightful next six months where we’re all desperate for The Last Jedi content, I still wonder why there hasn’t been a teaser trailer yet? For TFA, we had the first teaser on 11/28/2014, more than 12 months before the movie. I know that at that time, we were in a…

“Who are you?” is also the first dialogue that we hear spoken to Rey from Maz Kanata, via the first (full) trailer for TFA.

But holy shit, what if he WAS just playing Space Omar, and like, robbing spice dealers or something. Sweet christ that would be amazing.

Have you read Bloodline? I keep thinking Laura Dern is going to be playing (formerly Lady) Carise Sindian who was introduced in that as an antagonist to Leia / proto-First Order supporter.

I also love hearing about how cheap the airfare is and then coming to find out that, nope, I still can’t afford it.

Yeah, I agree (I was also shocked that he apparently doesn’t know the difference between “infer” and “imply” as someone who actually writes for a living, but I guess the editors missed it too, so whatever). That said, I will keep reading these books because I am desperate for new information / a chump for Star Wars. I…
