I’m finding that I’m also starting to become less and less interested in all the stuff I used to go gaga over. Especially with corporations like Disney, milking things so openly and heavily.

Fandom, in my opinion, is just like religion. It’s all a very personal matter that should be kept personal and respected by others as personal. Both have caused violence. Both have provided comfort. Both have anger, intolerance, and extremists within themselves. Both contain useful wisdom. Both are personal choices,…

I’m still a bit fuzzy on why she buried the sabers on Tatooine, a planet Anakin hated, Luke wanted to escape from and Leia was only there as a slave to a slug monster. Yeah, super good place for their legacy to rest.

Eh, I know that’s the new “official” explanation, but I always figured it was because he’d just never learned how to do it.

Read the Kylo lines as Napoleon Dynamite and the Luke lines were Uncle Rico.

Geez. Even for Abrams this was poor form. No memorable space battles or duels, just some badly chopped up sequences here and there. I mean, at it’s most superficial, that’s what Star Wars is to me. It’s why LJ and R1 are my favourites - the Holdo sequence, Snokes’ throne room fight, the Battle over Scarif and Chirrut…

I really hoped that Luke was just haunting Kylo by being an annoying shit.

“Hey, Ben... whatcha doin’? Poopin’ huh?”

Admittedly, I have only read the spoilers, but the whole thing sounds like eight year-old me wrote it while playing with my Kenner action figures after seeing RotJ in 1983.

“And then Emperor comes back! And he had a granddaughter whose good, but Han and Leia’s son was evil. And there are like a hundred thousand star…

He’s like 55-60 when we see him in TPM, right? So presumably he could have had a number of adult children by that point. Presumably they weren’t involved in politics.

Enjoy shot of the Ghost. Wioth all the talk oc backup, I was SERIOUSLY hoping we’d see a bit more of that ship...

And what couldn’t have been told without that?

But I thought droids couldn’t use the For— eh, never mind.

All i could think was “Then the Emperor has already won.”

The interesting part is that the Palaptine lineage wins. All the Skywalkers are dead and Rey (who is a Palpatine) lives. What a great way to end your series.

“Shitty screenwriting is a pathway to abilities that many consider... stupid.”

Jedi Academy at the homestead ... you mean Tatooine? Who the fuck wants to hang on Tatooine? Luke couldn’t wait to get outta there ... nothing but sand and Jawas and blue milk. She needs to rethink that place if she’s gonna recruit anyone and have their parents pay the $$s.  

Some amazing old-school miniature work in this shot! Really glad Star Wars is embracing the practical effects of its past.
