I have yet to see anyone in this family display any characteristic that I would describe as “smart.”  It makes you wonder if inheriting lots of money is a contributing factor to being stupid.

I knew that goddamned bunny was beating a war drum.

I would like to remind the U.S. government that the 9/11 terrorists were mostly from Saudi Arabia.

At this point I get the feeling that the saga exists mostly in people’s heads, and the actual movies serve as kind of an afterthought.

If any Democrats go down to FL, they better be doing get-out-the-vote drives, suing the FL Secretary of State, and doing whatever Andrew Gillum recommends, which would be the first two things anyways.

Yeah, this is a lesson that the fandom really should have learnt after the prequels: it’s fine to speculate, but learn to watch a movie without expectations. Most of the complaints I’ve seen about the sequel trilogy (and also GoT, come to think of it) really boil down to ‘well that’s not how *I* imagined it would happe…

Supreme leader is benevolent. Supreme leader is the most handsome. Glory to the supreme leader!

Agreed. In the case of the sequels especially, people had 30 years to dream up their ideal version of that story. There was no version of the actual trilogy that could fulfill the expectations of fans and satisfy general audiences and movie executives.

At this point, isn’t Star Wars like 90% expectation and 10% actual movie? Everyone came to the prequels with their assumptions about what they’d be like, and most of them came away disappointed. Same thing with the sequels -- there was the sense that they’d be so much more than what we actually got. At this point I…

this is exactly why they iced the non-canon EU. because people make up their own stories in between and the expectation that your brain candy is what’s going to be on film has always been unrealistic

You really do come off as angry though.

Why?

They have literally already had a movie called “The Last Jedi.”

Thank God I wasn't the only person who saw what the logical conclusion it was leading too.  And by saving the Galaxy forever, you meant 50-100 years into the next threat arrives of course. 

This is why you set your expectations low so you can be pleasantly surprised (especially for this trilogy). Just be like the rest of us and assume the climax of the movie will consist of Rey summoning a giant Luke Skywalker, who will rise from the ground and take a bite out of Kylo Palpatine’s (oh they merge like a…

Also, that the studio only gave them certain number of episodes to work with.

After the initial euphoria of the crew had passed, the subsequent feeling was one of deflation, a limp, flaccid, sense of impotence in the face of what was, clearly, a huge boner.  

Still not as cock-centric as Top Gun.

This is the best thing I have seen since aliens got the MH370. Now, does that speak to my maturity or my outlook on life? Of course it does. And I’m ok with it.

No, they didn’t properly set up Dany’s rampage. An unfortunate effect of working with an outline rather than an entire book of material is that shortcuts and leaps of logic are being made. Instead of an episode of two of build-up, it gets parsed down to a sentence and our imagination.
