How would that work?

“We, as in the rest of r/prequelmemes and I.”

Or it finally made Luke into more than a whine-ass with daddy issues, who has a fantastic redemption arc, actual human emotions, and one of the greatest outros in years. Sorry you didn’t get Mara Jade and the Solo twins.

Nobody in TFA treats Rey’s lineage as important except Rey. Everybody else is just like “who’s this randomer, using the Force?” The movie explicitly shows us her parents abandoning her on Jakku with Onkar Plutt. Your mistake is over-interpreting random casual remarks whilst completely ignoring the blatant indicators…

Really? Because if you took The Fellowship as a whole like you’re doing with TLJ, you’d find far less “character growth”.  One thing I remember about the original trilogy was that everyone in the world didn’t consider themselves an armchair screenwriter.  Maybe you should lighten up a little or stop watching fantasy…

It’s my theory that a bunch of these manbabies make up a good chunk of Zach Snyder fanboys.

I do have to say that Snoke with the 8th-grade-biology-class overhead projector detailing his origin and plans is really cracking me up.

“It had the worst scene in all of Star Wars, Canto Bight (most people who like it even admit this)”

The number of extended media stories a Star Wars movie produces is not an indicator of quality. It’s an indicator of how long ago the movie came out. Given a decade or two, every character who had two seconds of screen time will be given a fully fleshed out back story and a series of further adventures. The Ewok…

It’s already established in the prior episode that Rey can fight, and has gotten pretty good at it with her staff. To which she continues practising in TLJ. 

Star Wars: A New Hope
A princess needs a wizard to save her from the evil guy’s castle, but the wizard is old and needs help from a peasant farmer and a caravan smuggler.

The Last Jedi: Still better than the prequels.

You right now:

It had the main character learning things in mere hours that took “The Chosen One” years to learn.

People who claim this movie ruined Star Wars but didn’t make the same claim of Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones are full of shit.  At the end of the day, this is somewhere between the 3rd and 8th best Star Wars movie depending on your taste. It has some amazing moments and some subpar - just like every Star Wars…

Canto Bight isn’t the worst scene on Star Wars. You could pick just about any scene prominently featuring Jar Jar, or any scene between Padme and Anakin, and say it’s worse than Canto Bight.

“ because it’s a structurally questionable movie with some bad writing and underdeveloped (or underused) characters.”

Can’t get in trouble if you are adding -er, -y or -s to a last name.
