it looks good! and now i have a whole first season to watch

But his running off comes from TFA - you can’t blame this movie for what was established in its predecessor.

They set up earlier in the film that projection is very taxing, and that it would have killed Rey had Snoke not assisted. 

These are the folks who think a stunt double with a weak CG head mowing down a line of faceless, generic enemies to be his “greatest moment.”

I have this theory that the split over Luke is akin to the differences between the storytelling styles of DC and Marvel - the Gods among men vs the regular people with extraordinary abilities.

People act like in the first movie Obi wan didn’t just send himself into the force ether and that Vader actually connected with him. Nearly every single thing that people whine about in this movie was established in the films before.

The only appropriate response to your articulate comment I feel appropriate is to paraphrase noted scholar D-Von Dudley: “Testify, my brother!”.

That blue milk is a harsh mistress.

100% agreed, and it’s true even before he’s ever revealed in The Force Awakens: Luke’s Jedi instruction was entirely from two former Jedi who had voluntarily exiled themselves after making catastrophic errors in supposed service to the Force - of course he’s going to follow in their footsteps! I never understood…

The only part I don’t get is he just like, dies afterwards. Was he a replicant with a built in timer? He seemed to be perfectly fine earlier in the movie. I blame the blue milk.

I just don’t spend the time to think SW out to the degree you have, but it’s fun to read it.

Last Jedi doesn’t tell us to kill the past, it just tells us not to be a slave to it. Because if you let the past control you, then you end up unable to enjoy anything new; not even the best Star Wars movie in over 30 years.

That (the holdo maneuver) blew me away. Throw in the throne room fight and the salt/red clay contrast st the end, and you wind up with one of the more visually stunning sci-fi films of the last decade or so.

Whatever else the movie did wrong, the idea of ‘TLJ ruining Luke’ from ‘hardcore’ fans is the most hilarious misunderstanding of Star Wars characters, lore and philosophy they could muster.

I crossed state lines to see this film.

The strange part is that it was the last Star Wars movie. Like, they said it was supposed to be a trilogy, but the third movie never materialized. Still, I’m pretty satisfied with the ending of TLJ.

This movie is fucking awesome and an excellent addition to the Star Wars saga.

I even enjoyed the second Lego Movie; although it clearly lost a lot of what made the first two films (Lego Movie and Batman) great.

No doubt. The LEGO Ninjago Movie was also a lot of fun, if a little derivative.

Those are some dumb adults. The first Lego movie and the Lego Batman movie are both great.
