It did seem weird there would be two people with the same ability to hack into a Star Destroyer in the same place. And even weirder Finn and Rose bumped into the 2nd one by chance.

I thought during the movie Benicio del Torro was actually the Master Codebreaker and the guy at the casino table with the pin was someone he crossed to get thrown in jail and dude took his pin to spite him.

Yeah. There’s definitely a side of me that wanted her to join up with Kylo, but he was pretty clear that joining up with him meant starting a two-person galactic dictatorship. Not exactly “breaking the wheel.”

This is an interesting concept to me. This film really hit the idea of letting the past go and it had a bit of a nihilistic streak with Benicio del Toro’s character. He said something along the lines of “They blow you up today, you blow them up tomorrow.” It got me thinking that maybe Rey should have taken Ben Solo’s…

Yes. That’s one of my big hopes for the next movie, that Rey will build a new Jedi order that doesn’t make the same stupid mistakes as the last one. Like maybe ripping tiny children away from their families and turning them into magic space monks with no bonds to other humans is a bad idea.

Okay, let’s get into it…Not a fan.

If Finn and Rose didn’t go on their casino excursion, 85% of the movie would have been watching the galaxy’s slowest space chase. Which as a concept sounds hilarious.

I really thought ending the film on that kid was a great decision. Just ending on a regular kid with a shitty life, and he dreams of something “out there” being better than where he’s at right now. The Jedi are dead. Long live the Jedi.

A lot of my friends seem to be real disappointed in the movie, some even calling it outright bad, which just confuses the hell out of me. Like you say, it might just come down to the subversion of expectations not going over well with them. You have no idea how much I actually expected that Luke in his X-Wing scene at…

Isn’t the whole point of TLJ that the next generation of Jedi (or whatever they call Force users) will be nobodies like Rey and the broom kid? Not aristocratic warrior monks, but regular, everyday people whose relationship to the Force is rooted in an egalitarian ethos? And the villain is a guy who’s convinced he has…

And ultimately trying to subvert these tropes is the reason that so many Star Wars fans are freaking the fuck out.

Is Rey the chosen one? Nah, fuck that. She’s just the child of space Whitney and Bobby who is a self made hero.

Finally caught it yesterday with the little one, and we absolutely loved how they kept subverting the audiences expectations and throwing us for a loop.

I like everything Kristaps does.

If you switch him out for Melo at that post-game presser you’d get about two minutes of eye rolls, head shakes, and bland generalities about the game of basketball. If I got interviewed at my cubicle every day after work I’d be doing the same thing, only it would be far more depressing. At least KP knows people are…

Incorrect.

This is the only acceptable time that a jumping #23 is allowed on a football field.

“What the hell do you mean ‘slow down for the turn’? I go fast. How does slowing down help me achieve that kind of speed? It doesn’t, moron. I put my foot on the gas and broke off the brake peddle a long time ago, son.”

I actually heard Thibs on Zach Lowe’s podcast a few months after he got fired from Chicago, during that year Thibs was NBA-unemployed.

I mean, some people are told every day that maybe their stubborn and shortsighted behavior, which may have worked in a specific context, could endanger the whole operation and damage key players on the team beyond repair and they should think about pulling back, only for them to retrench defensively
