That side-quest was not a failure. It inspired a new generation of force wielders to fight the First Order as seen in the final shot of the film.

Phrasing it that way makes it seem like the movie behaved as a didactic scold. It completely answered the questions, and did so through the same adventure storytelling the movies have always done. Some folks may have not liked the answers, but that’s more a product of preconceived ideas than any failure of the movie.

I go the other way. The fact that JJ Abrams has issues with The Last Jedi only confirms my feeling that it’s a masterpiece.

I loved the subversion of The Last Jedi. I loved the headfake with Snoke. The combined Rey/Kylo fight was great Star Wars choreography. Luke as a burned out hippie who lived to see everything he dedicated himself to be twisted back on itself is a logical outcome that was have real world examples of. Saying Rey’s…

Yes, but dammit, we COOK with it. Let’s see you make all your lovely baked goods, sauces, and mac n cheese dishes without it!

Yeah, she’s done. Boomers by and large vote a lot more than her generation, and politicians too often forget that. She just gave the finger to one of the largest voting bases in her district. Enjoy your fifteen minutes and your last term.

Couldn’t agree more - and now my KIDS are all about it too... That’s heavy.

Internet hi-five

Yep. I am in an in forever. It still astounds me that I am now making plans to take a day off to go and see another part of a movie series that I first saw when I was 7 years old. And that I still care and that it’s still fun. The universe George built is a playground I will ALWAYS love.

Call me easily entertained, but I am loving this and I’m here for it.

Could be an Outrider which is a YT-series ship just like the Falcon so it would make sense.

“...because toys”
Star Wars has been all about the toys since day one so why even use this as a criticism. An Outrider toy has already been done for SoE.

You really need to internet better. Plus, I do not get the spoiler thing. If a film is well made, a small trailer-level spoiler won’t ruin it.

Let’s Remember Some Other Guys who came up and hit a bunch of homers immediately:

You’re really stretching that “mostly”.

this just in: everything politicians do is political

We went in with low expectations and were really pleasantly surprised by how much we liked it. Sad it didn’t do better.

The choreography for this duel was top notch, but for me it lacked any emotional weight to it (as compared to the duel in Ep. V or VI) because I just didn’t feel any connection to the characters involved. The protagonists were all pretty bland due to the poor script, and the villain involved was barely in the movie.
