One thing about your comparison to the Hoth evacuation and the Capital ship one. One was in full view of the Empire and needed coordination with the escort ships, the ion cannon, and shield operators. This is just get on the ship and sit there while we sneak out.

I do agree it was still a pretty weak decision overall,…

The lizard nun slaves were just bizarre. It made me feel slimy. At least nobody defending the movie seems to be defending that choice.

So you’re upset that puppets from the Star Wars universe which were originally created by Jim Henson’s company look like other puppets that were created by Jim Henson’s company?

Eh, it was a two-person backfire.

If you know she had told Poe what the plan was and then you know executed it properly they would have pulled that shit off.

TBQH, her entire plan relied entirely on the First Order being so incredibly inept at military practice that they can’t be a believable threat to anything to work in the first place.

She was an asshole too.

I will miss the extremely convoluted theories that were necessary to make Rey anybody’s kid, because there are only like 4 people in the entire Star Wars universe and none of them made a lick of sense.

IIRC, in the original Starwars Battlefront 2, for the PS2, there was a space mission where you had to blow up the enemies main ship before it went to hyper space aimed at your main ship... This idea has been around for a hot minute in the Starwars universe

Poe: What are you doing, Maz?

As appealing as recycled cardboard....

But that’s bullshit and yoda has always been an idiot. Anakin found out who palpatine was and went straight to the Jedi only for windu to go alone, tell anakin he can’t come, anakin follows and sees windu try to execute palpatine. If they just trusted anakin, he wouldn’t have turned. If Ben hadn’t see Luke try to kill…

This is how I know you’re full of shit. Luke was a whiny bitch throughout his whole story, especially A New Hope.

The new trilogy seems poorly written and disconnected to the other movies. It doesn’t explain how the Resistance got so small. It isn’t logical how it got so small. After blowing up the second Death Star and numerous planets rejoicing a major blow to the Empire in Episode VI. In Episode VII Starkiller Base was…

If they could communicate with Maz, why couldn’t they communicate with their allies? Or why on Earth couldn’t Maz have passed on the SOS? She seemed really uninterested in helping out the Resistance in such a dire situation.

Loved the movie. Except Canto Bight.

Should have let Leia die in space. They cheapened it.

Certain expectations don’t need to be subverted. “Villains should be threatening.” “Major plot threads comprising a substantial fraction of the running time should have a meaningful impact on the plot.”

Boring, pointless, boring, unoriginal, and did I mention Boring? Even my kids didn’t like it.

I really wish Katharine was still around for this! Been reading some of her Twitter thoughts but definitely want to hear a more in-depth schpiel and see everyone get mad about it in the comments.
