Thank you, thank you, thank you for sticking it to the harassers and recognizing The Last Jedi.

We’re going to have to agree to disagree about that. I think it would have been ruinously absurd to try to attach significance and emotional resonance to the death of a squid-faced puppet that once notably yelled “It’s a trap!” in a movie 30 years ago.

The Holdo Maneuver might be my favorite action scene from any action movie, ever. I still can’t believe it happened.

It was perfect. And the suggestion that Rey had known it all along, but had been telling herself a different story, was a great touch.

I feel like a jerk for saying this, but to me right now the very dumbest part of the very dumb backlash to this silly space adventure movie is people rending their garments over Admiral Ackbar, as though he were an actual important character in the series—or, really, even a character at all, as opposed to an…

• When Kylo Ren, with like ten seconds of icily savage dialogue, revealed that Rey’s parents were nobody-ass losers, pissing on both George Lucas’s sole storytelling move and all The Force Awakens’s hints about Rey having a mysterious and auspicious background.

It’s essentially the most un-Star Wars movie ever made.

Yes! And when Poe himself, Mr. Damn The Torpedoes, was like “Shit, this is stupid as hell, let’s get the fuck outta here!”

That silent anime-like scene of the rebel flagship hyperdrive destroying Snoke’s ship was the best scene.

“It was a relief then that Rian Johnson did what needed to be done... I hear those criticisms, but find them easy to forgive in the face of how brave some of Rian Johnson’s choices were.”

When Luke told Rey to stop idolizing the Skywalker legacy.
When Kylo whined about how this was his story

I love it when a movie has the balls to actually say what a lot of us have been thinking since the prequel trilogy. The Jedi were fucking morons and shit isn’t as simple as black and white, dark and light

God, that fucking ruled.

I feel like you missed the best one, where Poe Dameron, dashing space flyboy, pulls a mutiny on the cold and frigid new commander who’s obviously not as a good a choice as him in his own mind, and it turns out he’s the asshole, not the hero.

Also when hyperdrive kamikaze rendered basically every other form of space warfare obsolete

So Weiss and Benioff are combating spoilers the same way Tyrion sussed out the mole on the small council.

I also loved the jab at the Jedi Order of the prequels when Luke points out how they were over romanticized and more or less brought about the rise of Palpatine and the Empire through their own ineptitude.

I think Deadspin writers should refer to the Washington Football team only as the Redhawks going forward. If only to upset emotionally fragile Redhawks fans. Please

Can Deadspin just start calling them the Washington Redhawks from now on?

Honestly though...Washington Redhawks has a nice ring to it. Better than the Wizards and the Nationals if you ask me.
