You think somebody designed a 2D poster by ripping off a Blu-Ray layout including the SIDE of the case?

Since it would take roughly 80-90,000 years to travel too-or-from the nearest* star (physics is real, y’all) may I suggest we instead consider these to be manifestations of fairies or gods or Cthulhu to be investigated. Because they’re just as likely as space men.

I figured the prevalence of cell phones would’ve put all this stuff to bed. Many years ago people used to speculate what kinds of photos would be taken if everyone walked around with a camera on them at all times. Well, now that that’s basically the case, we sure have a lot of interesting photos, but where are the…

There’s a guy on this sub who kept calling me a “brat” for saying that Star Wars doesn’t belong to the superfans.

He’s arguing that because he spent money keeping the franchise alive both during it’s lull from ‘80's - 90's and today that his opinions should matter more than casual fans and that his desires for the…

I mean the first sentence warns for major spoilers.

I...what the hell?

I mean the porgs were just there for comic relief and barely took up more than five minutes of screentime.

This beautiful film was wonderfully frustrating. It’s filled with bait-and-switch moments from start to finish and I enjoyed how it kept me guessing the characters’ motivations. Most of the bitching I’ve noticed from online reviews as well as speaking with friends is more frustrating than the movie itself: They hated…

1. No. The original trilogy existed for over twenty years without a real explanation for how the Emperor came to power and seduced Anakin Skywalker to the dark side. We were just told that it had happened and that was enough. The same is true for Snoke. We began this trilogy in media res. As Snoke is not the heart of…

It sounds like a Star Wars that I might like - which means the billions of fans will like it not so much.

Hardcore fanboys will be torn between HATING it and loving it, I can’t see a long time fan walking away neutral from this film... too much happens for neutrality. Those who hated on TFA for being too ANH (but liked the characters/actors overall) will LOVE IT. Those who have an open mind and like scifi stuff will LOVE…

Rey’s parentage reveal may have been my favourite part of this film (which I loved in general). I’d been dreading that they’d make her a Skywalker, as it would have made it seem like there was only one damn family in the whole galaxy that matters. But they show that she can be a “nobody” and still be this super…

TFA got flack for playing it too safe but now The Last Jedi is getting criticized by EU fanboys who’ve had some sacred cows killed by this movie. It didn’t go the way they thought it would in their head so now they’re butthurt. I loved how this movie held people account for their choices. Kylo doesn’t get a redemption…

Anyway, since this is the Last Jedi spoiler area, I want to bring up how hilarious the shirtless Kylo Ren scene was. He’s trying to win Rey over to his side—the Force Awakens made a big deal about the turning to the Dark Side being a “seduction”—and his big idea is to take his shirt off. That’s literally something…

The Force Awakens was very indebted to the idea that “this is a Star Wars movie, these are the things you do with a Star Wars movie”—bad guy with a mask that alters his voice, desert planet, etc. The Last Jedi was more willing to follow the characters down rabbit holes, even if it didn’t match how Star Wars is…

One of my favorite things about the film actually did a lot to alleviate my concerns that came up after The Force Awakens came out. And perhaps this is a bit of a problem with there being different directors on this - and just going by these two films, some pretty dramatically different visions for this story and set…

the theme here is the failure of the masters and idols.

You could hear a pin drop in my theatre during that scene you’re talking about.

I enjoyed watching how much the formula was played around with. At times it felt like even with 2.5 hours, there still wasn’t enough time to tell the whole story.

I love this mini-review. I just saw the film and thought it was fantastic. I understand a lot of people are going to complain about what it did with some of its heroes, and others will complain that the few moments of intersperse levity Disneyfy the film (of course those people ignore all the humorous parts of ESB,…
