I was excited to see another entry into the Indiana Jones mythos. But boy did they take a hard Spielberg on that one. Plus, casting Shia after the disastrous Transformers appearances made for a terrible combination. (Just look up “no no no no Transformers”)

That’s my childhood you’re talking about. I spent many many hours pouring over every bit of Star Wars I could get. Back in the day, George Lucas said he would never make another trilogy that extended past episode 6, so we took everything we could get. I loved most of it, but I’m pretty sure the writing style was…

I think we’ve already seen Han Solos piloting skills in the Asteroid scene in Empire strikes back. The Kessel Run will just be a flashier version of this.

It’s not that surprising given that Episodes 1-6 were all about the Skywalkers especially when the only familial revelation in Episode 7 is that Ben Solo is half Skywalker. Episode 8 is truly bucking the trend.

One theory I saw was that Rey looked into Kylo Ren’s mind when he tried to read her and got a glimpse of what Jedi can do.

Fury Road. <3

Another reason why I have less and less interest to see this film. Who wants to watch Han Solo make the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs? It’s fan service at best and a waste of time. Han/chewie survives, Han becomes a legend, the plot armor is just so ridiculous.

It helps when you don’t have an entire Order of Jedi to run and a galaxy to peacekeeper.

Chapter IX - Poe gets an eyepatch. Which because this is Star Wars, eventually gets replaced by a robotic eye that somehow makes him an even better pilot!

I really wanted to watch the same movie as you.

Maybe, but TLJ really went off the rails when Rey refused to join Kylo Ren. Johnson even set up the scene by severing all connections that Rey had to Han/Leia/Luke because she was a nobody. Rey taking Kylo’s hand is the movie I WANTED to see. Forget good/evil light/dark, when someone offers you power to shape the…

He’s one of the illuminati in Marvel comics, so basically nothing world altering happens without him being aware/consulted about it.

Now I cant stop hearing the BSG intro music.

Let’s be honest: After seven movies’ worth of Jedis doing battle with their lightsabers, we’re running out of fresh and fun ways for them to do so. The one-on-one Jedi duel is so ubiquitous that it’s almost impossible to film one without every beat being formulaic and predictable. And watching a Jedi deflect a bunch…

I thought the Rathtars were pretty insane. As if it’s a great idea to catch these things. I also think the space muffins deserve some credit here.

And a cackling puppet Yoda setting Jedi relics on fire with a lightning bolt.

I don’t think the Kylo Ren is completely Sith at this point. He wields political power now that Snoke is dead, but he refused to murder his mother for political gain.

This point was huge for me. As much as we bemoan Lucas’ focus on galactic politics in the prequel trilogy, he paints a clear picture of why the two sides are fighting (and how the Republic really wasn’t that great anyways). The Last Jedi tries to paint through this with a short blurb in the opening crawl. Something…
